Puzzling Places has been an unexpected joy after I got it in a bundle with Tetris Effect.
How did it brick it? What happened?
Eurogamer has a review-in-progress up that seems similarly glowing with praise.
Would y'all recommend the game now with that update coming soon? Especially since it'll get a price increase with it. Last time I think I tried B&S was before Alyx came out.
It still runs SteamVR games very well.
Clearly very Rock Band inspired, but compared to the plastic guitar games of yesteryear I really don't know if this one will be able to capture the feeling of precision and mastery that you would get with those games. Beat Saber and others make it work by having the input be something large and designed for VR, whereas it seems like this relies on too much precision to be fun when it's up to motion controls.
It's a shame that Rock Band VR never really worked, and that having a controller attachment to an old Guitar Hero guitar just isn't viable. I'd love to play Clone Hero in VR like this.
Definitely seeing some people complain about the design changes; once my server updates I'm sure I'll see for myself. But for the most part I'm fairly pleased with the new notification grouping. Long strings of hundreds of people liking the same post over and over meant I missed replies sometimes.
Windows MR was deprecated and cannot run on the newest version of Windows; running older versions of Windows will only have support for it through to ~2026. It's very unfortunate that it's not long for this world because I hear the HP Reverb G2 is still a great headset.
Edit: If you're looking for a cheap headset, the best option is usually on Craigslist/Marketplace. Used first-generation headsets (meaning the two Oculus Rift models, early HTC headsets) which are still in perfectly workable condition go for only $100-$200.
Yes I've got a Logitech keyboard and trackball mouse.
I actually haven't tried Immersed so I can't really compare it, but this is just using the usual Quest window management, no special app. Godot has recently been released on the Quest app store and runs natively. I've then sideloaded a few Android apps to help with development: Material File Manager from F-Droid, AnyDesk for remote desktop work with Linux (mostly for Blender), and I've seen someone using Git through Termux, will likely employ that for larger projects in the future. SFTP through Material File Manager handles moving files between the Quest and my Desktop.
I've not tried any other Quest 3 headstraps (aside from the stock one), but for me comfort is king. I've previously owned a Quest 1, which I added a halo headstrap to, but it was still crazy uncomfortable for more than half an hour or so. Before that I owned a Rift CV1, which I also found uncomfortable after more than an hour, despite attempts to modify it for comfort. The Bobo M3 is the first time I've actually felt comfortable enough to use VR for literally hours at a time. It's insane that it took seven years of being a VR enthusiast for me to finally find something like that.
Hope it turns out well, the announcement trailer was a wicked vision of a wild artistic and sonic direction, but it seems like the actual development process has been quite troubled.
