The 2018 what are we playing thread

Me too :slight_smile:

You know the cool thing is, I can even play Thimbleweed Park with my VR Headset on, but itĀ“s more like playing it in a really empty and dark movie theater. Whichā€¦is also kinda nice. :slight_smile:

How does that work then? Is it like youā€™re looking at it in a big room?

Not quite, itĀ“s basically the screen that seems wider and bigger than the tv and when you look away from it everything is black, but you can push a button so itĀ“s in front if you meaning you could also play it laying on your back.

Thatā€™s quite nice. Though do you use a controller? I wouldnā€™t want arm ache.

Playing on the Playstation 4, so of course I am. :slight_smile:

IĀ“ll be getting those move controllers later down the road too that make me feel like wielding a real sword and holding a real shield in some games. :slight_smile:

Testosterone ahoy! :slightly_smiling_face:

At the moment IĀ“m in the second playthrough of Resident Evil Biohazard which is my first VR Playthrough of the game. ItĀ“s really a whole new way of playing. I love the way you can peek around corners or stand up to check a shelf or put your head down to look into a hole in the floor.

Is it more scary? Or is it just a different way of playing?

Well I can certainly say I jumped a few times but I canĀ“t really say if it felt any different than when I did playing it old school. When something comes straight flying towards me my brain tells my reflexes to cover my face with my hand, thatĀ“s interesting. When IĀ“m in a confined tight space I feel uncomfortable even if I know IĀ“m actually in a large room. You find yourself gasping for air even if you donĀ“t need to. So itĀ“s more the little things I would say.

Did you guys know there are already VR Point n Click Adventure Games?

Wayward Sky is a ā€œlook and clickā€ third person adventure game where you direct your playing figure while ā€œstanding insideā€ a giant playset in the clouds(you basically feel like a giant direction these little people). You direct your character by pointing your fingers and starting interactions that result in close ups of little puzzle mini games.

I played the demo and had good fun and hopes for the future that other people use this technique in more advanced ways.

I must say that I am enjoying ā€œthe last door - Season 2 collectorā€™s editionā€ very much.

I say season 2 because season 1 does not work with reshade, so I canā€™t enable the huge gaussian blur I need so my brain imagines details that arenā€™t there.

If I enable the filter, the atmosphere is just perfect.

Hi @Seguso! Draculaland looks really interesting. Is it a long game??

Fairly long. I finished it without hints. I donā€™t know, maybe around 10 hours.

Donā€™t look at the walkthrough! the puzzles are all fair. Some are hard. I brute forced one puzzle, but it was fair, but only in English. Though language dependent, it was a very good puzzle. The best of the game.

When I play Skyrim VR with the move motion controllers I have to make actual swimming movements with my arms when IĀ“m swimming in the water or diving.

Swimming movements! With my arms!

IĀ“m often thinking if I should record some of my gameplay, because I keep on running into funny things and maybe others would find it funny or interesting, too.
