I’ve been using a Reverb G2 for the past few years, until it decided to not power up last week (R.I.P.). Now from these years playing VR I had fun, found a few good gems here and there, mostly playing co-op games with a buddy of mine.

A reccurent grief we’ve had is that the VR games offering was poor, like the store-front when opening SteamVR would showcase the same games for the past 3 years… With the release of the Steam Frame, I’m of course tempted to jump on ship (or at least the 1-year queue behind it), but I also wonder whether that somehow boosted general interest in PCVR? Are new games ported from Meta’s OS name I can’t recall arriving on the Steam VR store, giving it the fresh breeze it needed?

    I played a bit of itr1but i was dying a lot and didn’t really enjoy the combat that much. Maybe a bit too realistic for my taste XD i love manual reaload but having to refill the couple magazines i have with bullet boxes all the time was pretty bad.

      I actually enjoyed that, just buy more mags than can fit in your vest store them in your side bag or backpack, lost mags because I was reloading under fire and just tossed em to the ground then moved away and forgot where I dropped em. ItR2 and ConVRgence are similar style. You may enjoy the Arizona Sunshine/2/After the Fall games better(get the AZ remake instead of the original as the engine is better and you get melee weapons as well), love those too they are more arcade type shooters with a choice of realistic reload or ‘quick’ reload where you drop the spent shells then bring the gun to your chest to reload.

        I played the original arizona sunshine in 2019 with my brother and it was amazing. I also played the second and i played a bit of after the fall but not much. I also really enjoyed the world war Z VR game.

          World War Z? Damn 45% off right now in the bundle with the flat for $3 more than the VR alone, think I’ll add that to my library tonight. Thanks!!!
