WHAT?!

Yeah, the best way to experience Nintendo in VR is through VRchat or Pavlov on the PC Kinda silly, but I've (kind of) played through the entire beginning of Breath of the Wild in VRchat, and it worked really well. Guardians in VR are terrifying, even if they're just the destroyed ones without legs.

Nice, clean setup, and I love the screen And I'm relieved you have a chair...

Oh hi @ArtMediocre, it's me again! So, I've finally gotten the Reverb G2 and have been playing around with it for a good two weeks now, and I really enjoy it! It's what the Rift S should've been The screens are amazing, at least in the sweetspot and around it. No screendoor at all. The colors are brilliant! The blacks are okay, but kinda gray-ish. The sound is so much better than whatever Oculus delivers <3. I was concerned about the tracking and controllers after reading a lot of negativity about it on the HP Reverb subreddit, but to be honest, I think it works great, and for my main games like Pavlov and Blade & Sorcery I have had zero issues. I actually ended up getting a used Valve Index for an okay-ish price, so just to see what I was missing out on, I ended up on buying it. I also wanted to see if I could combine the G2 with the Index Controllers if I had serious issues with the tracking. To be honest, I'm not really impressed with it after experiencing the visual quality of the G2. The tracking works great, and the controllers are cool, but not something I'm willing to pay £500-700 extra, when the default WMR controllers work good enough. If anyone wants a recommendation for a good PCVR headset, look no further. The G2 is the way. I love mine, and I'm looking forward to many more hours of fun with it!

I have the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum, and I love it to bits! Wide range of dpi, customizable weights, rgb lightning and great comfort. Can't go wrong with that one. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it keeps on winning "best mouse of 20XX" competitions.

+1 for Astral Chain, I loved that game. I am a sucker for both anime and Platinum games though.. Great score, interesting combat and awesome setting. I sure hope you've played it, but if you haven't, Hollow Knight should be the first game you buy on the Switch. Best game I've played in years!

Looks interesting. As you say @Sméagol, the relays were destroyed by the chain reaction blast. You can see one in the trailer at 0:42 surrounded by debris. I'm excited to get back into the universe, but only if the story is good. I enjoyed the third game a lot, and even enjoyed the endings, especially after digging good into the indoctrination theory. But this trailer might debunk that theory all together, as it suggested that the entire ending at the Citadel happened in Shepards head. If this story continues after the ending, the mass relays are in pieces, and people are scattered all over the galaxy, then it strongly suggest the ending actually happened .

I've been really excited to play Control since joining, but it looks like it's only available for consoles, not PC I hope it comes to PC some time soon, it would be a great game to test my new RTX graphics card with ray-tracing on. And it looks bonkers too, so I hate to miss out on a good story

Finally bit the bullet and bought the 3 year Live Gold membership and converted it to Game Pass Ultimate for £1. Happy to be part of the club! There are a few games I've had my eyes on for quite a while, so I'm ready to dive in!

An update on the HP Reverb G2 adventure. My order is, like the rest of europe, delayed. I was supposed to recieve the new headset tomorrow, the 20th of november, but it turns out HP still hasn't shipped the headsets from their factory. That means at least a delay of two weeks, if not more, and my order has an estimated delivery of 18th january 2021. Great stuff =_=. HP managed to kill a lot of hype for their headset by screwing up the launch with delays. I read that a lot of people are considering cancelling their orders, but I'm going to stick it through, and maybe order a Quest 2 at the same time for comparison. The tracking seems... less than optimal for Pavlov and fast paced VR shooters. In the end though, the VR headset is one of the best there is, and I might go the route of ordering basestations and Index controllers, but I'll see how I think the tracking is first.

Oh my! I actually have the US version of the original, and had to modify my Wii to be able to play it. But everything to be able to get those sprays of blood everywhere I might have to go back and play it again. Does anyone know if this is a polished version of the original, or is it a ported version of No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise from Xbox 360 and PS3?

Congratulations, Ike

Ow, that sucks :S. Better swap it quickly though, and hope that it's not a recurring issue with other models. I guess it's pretty noticable on a headset mounted so closely to your ears.

Yeah, there seem to be quite a few users who are getting blocked and all their old purchases from their Oculus user becoming unavailable. Which is bull in my opinion. This is one of my biggest gripes with the headset as well. But it's a shame, because it's the best headset for newcomers on the market. If it leaves a bad impression on a lot of players, it will have a negative effect on the VR development. @Vileplume2000 if you have a decent PC that can run it, I would strongly suggest that you look into the HP Reverb G2 It looks to be an impressive headset in every way except maybe the controllers (but these can be changed with the Valve Index controllers for a fee), and there is no mandatory social media account required.

Sounds great I'm glad you're having a blast with it so far Do you think this is the strap, or the lack of options with the IPD adjustments? I've heard that a lot don't hit their exact IPD as it's limited by the screen and the three positions. Will love to hear some impressions down the line. If possible, it'd be cool to hear how the latency is in a shooting game, from where you pull the trigger to when it fires in-game. I've heard it's noticable for some people, and a lot of others don't seem to notice any latency at all.

Oh mate, it's well worth the £40! If it doesn't work well with the streaming, you could always ask for a refund.

This looks so good. I can only hope they release it on PC one time in the future (in five years...) so that I can play it. Well done to Insomniac for making a great Spiderman game. It's been a long time since that happened. The last one was, what... Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2? And jesus, what is driving people to sending death threats over changes to a character in a video game? In a piece of entertainment? People have too little to worry about these days.

Nice, congrats @Happenstance! Let us hear your impressions in the Virtual Reality thread And enjoy your new toy. I bet Google Earth is gonna look slick on that thing I ended up buying a new, curved 27 inch QHD monitor from MSI. Good for gaming and the home office. And it's a 166 Hz monitor, so it's miles better than my old 60 Hz 1080 monitor.

Thanks for the info Drahkon. I really enjoy action JRPG's, so that's why it appealed to me in the first place. I'm just wary when it comes to games that get's advertised too much, like those annoying mobile games. Good to hear that it's a decent game from your short playtime. I'll see if it's any good on PC. I guess I'll be able to customize my controls (unless the developers are total potatoes), so I'll try it there. Too bad about the gacha mechanics though, not a fan of those. But if you can get a decent experiece from the core game without paying more then I'll stick to it.

So, after being bombarded with ads for this game (mobile games sure make a lot of money), i figure I'd watch some gameplay, and it looks pretty good. Like anime breath of the wild with waifus good. Can I get some impressions from you guys? Any of you have played it? Is it cross save, so I can play on my PC and continue on my Switch or phone? And is it free to play too?

I totally agree, and I never planned on doing it to be honest. I originally put in two orders because the review embargo dropped after the cards went up for sale, and after seeing the TUF got great reviews I decided to keep the card. But after thinking about the amount of money I would spend on the graphics card, power supply unit, and the new HP Reverb G2 VR headset, I figured I'd keep both orders and try to sell the MSI card for some profit. And now, HP has released a statement about the release of the Reverb G2 not releasing before november. I am using a HD monitor with 60Hz, so a 3080 is overkill for my system, to put it mildly. That's why I decided to try to sell the second card at a really high price if anyone would even bother with the price. And I guess they did. It sucks for them, but I'm pretty happy. Not going to become a scalper, because I think the system should be fair for everyone. But just this time, it was worth it for me.

And here's the second one! I have gotten an insane offer for the second one too, so I'm actually going to sell them off, and buy a new one with the money I make of both cards next year. I'll even have around £100 to spend on a new 2K screen

I kinda want a penalty for making it official so late in the game too. Can I have minus 30? To be honest it was kind of a joke, but I'd be happy to be on the list

Excuse me @Glen-i, I'll take my minus points, thank you very much!

To be honest, I've already sold it I ordered two as soon as they were released, and I'm planning on keeping the other one. Made a fair bit of profit too, about £350, so that lessens the blow of the cost. I have put the other card up for sale too, but with a high enough price that I highly doubdt it'll get sold. If it does, however, I'm more than happy to wait until januar to get a new one, as well as a new screen
