Still enjoying the hell out of Asgard's Wrath 2. Great visuals, good swordplay and blocking, a good amount of free exploration and side content if not totally open world, satisfying hits, and it even handles special abilities well. I can cast a spell and hold it in place, summon several more, redirect one of them if necessary, but while i'm doing this i'm having to keep out of range of enemies and parry if they get too close. And that's just with the one character i'm using, and the one build i've created.

I'm getting more out of this than any recent game to date. Cyberpunk, Baldurs Gate, etc.

I was saying for years that it shouldn't be hard to make full RPGs in VR and this is what I mean. There is so much potential in this medium yet untapped. If we could get good writers not beholden to DEI on top? We would be so fucking back.


Also, side note. There really needs to be more racing/spaceship combat games in VR. This medium handles this very well and it's very under-explored. Yet again, the best ones to do this are some indie games I can't even remember the titles of anymore.

One mad-lad created a mech-piloting demo in VR, but that particular one was very unfinished. Still, the potential is there and it's far superior to a controller and screen.

VR still being niche makes it relatively unpozzed. Lack of games and yet there are some ocassional gems here and there unlike in AAA slop factory. I'd rather have it that way for now.

Personally i wouldn't say no to any ports of older first person games like Arx Fatalis or Deus Ex for vr. Even something more modern like Deus EX HR would benefit from it.

But i doubt they will start making super high budget rpgs built for VR any time soon. And maybe it's for the best to not bring all that faggotry that follows modern rpg genre like a shadow.

that's actually a good point. there is no poz and good variety (if you take time to look) in VR because it has no mainstream appeal yet. careful what you wish for and all that

Skyrim VR mod is a truly amazing world. You can grab apples, throw them, put a bucket on your head and hit the blacksmith's signpost with your sword. It's a truly labour of love by a herd of different moders. It's still Skyrim though, not that it's bad, but the story and the characters are bare bones.

I can attest. Skyrim VR synergizes with so many mods that it's really ahead of almost everything. You can improve visuals as much as your pc allows it, install gore mods and not rely on shitty killcam anymore just cut someones arm off with a sword power attack, can grab enemy in combat or grab npcs and they become angry, easily block while dual weilding with a simple mod, there are AI mods that let you talk with npc and manipulate them, coomer mods ... of course, you can order food in taverns and eat it using cutlery, grab someone as a werewolf and then throw them few meters away.

It's like a prototype of stereotypical virtual reality game people become addicted to in crappy 90s sci fi movies.

The only downside is that you have to assemble all that shit yourself and avoid crashes.

One of my favorite moments from when I first got the game was picking up one of those big boulders they drop on your head as a trap. I went into stealth mode, found a high point, and dropped it on a guys head. It did damage as it should. Little moments like that matter.

I also appreciate modders for not forgetting the VR players. I consider the visible-armor mod and the mod that lets you block with dual weapons or unarmed a must. It's also worth installing all the texture packs you can and taking a stroll into the Imperial City and surrounding areas.

More importantly, how are the loverslabs mods in VR?

Asking for a friend?

Adult games for VR are mostly dogshit. It's not VAM but Skyrim with HIGGS\VRIK\CBPC combo + Sexlab VR does better job than 99% of such games. And far less costly for your pc... again depending on replacers etc.

And i obviously don't know all of that first hand, just done some research. Swear on me mum.
