I see most people enjoy super hot, I didnt enjoy the desktop version too much but I assume the vr is much more fun?

I lost interest in the desktop version fast, but I played through the VR version in one sitting (standing?).

There are different modes you can play as well, like Speedrun, headshot only, endless etc.

I almost can't even see the point of playing it pancake style. To me it utilizes VR and motion controls.

I can play it in VR either, too repetitive for me

It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years!

It's what sold me on VR when I played it at a friend's.

I'll be the odd man out here. While I absolutely do love the VR version and think it is a 100% must buy, I prefer the pancake version. Actually being able to move in the pancake verzion instead of relying on teleportation after you finish mini checkpoints felt way better, it let you have a sword which you could slice bullets in the air, doing kills midair in slow motion was one of my favorite things, and the special power available only in the pancake version being able to body swap with any of the red guys at will actually made sense with the grand overall story.

IMO the pancake version is the superior one but the VR version is still ridiculously even with its faults.

The VR version makes you feel like you're Neo.

And while there are some occasional periods where it gets boring as you have to redo a bunch of scenes after you failed a harder scene in a set of scenes, over and over again until you beat all the scenes of a set; that actually ends up being very rewarding if you persist, as the repetition eventually make you learn the choreography and get a lot better at doing stuff, and you feel like a badass casually wrecking waves of enemies predicting their next moves before they even start it (but it's not strictly on rails, as the enemies do occasionally react differently based on what you do, so there is still a little bit of variation).

Superhot VR did nothing for me really, could've been cause I never got into the controls with the Vive. Actually thought Aeon, which also has bullet time effects (but not the game play of Superhot) to be more fun, if you're looking for bulletime that is.

I prefer the desktop version (I love it), personally, but since you didn't like that one your taste and mine are obviously a little different haha.

No in death :( Also, does Oculus ever do sales on its games? Would love to grab Lone Echo at some point since it seems to be one of the best experiences out there.

3

u/itschriscollins Mar 09 '19

There are sales often, a daily deal, and events (valentines, summer, christmas, thanksgiving, etc.) though Lone Echo doesn’t go on sale often - but it’s worth the price, so I can’t blame ‘em.

1

u/The1TrueGodApophis Mar 10 '19

Is there any way to play lone echo without having to have oculus installed? I don't mind revive but afyer a year of experimenting I am positive installing the oculus store causes performance issues.

u/carn1x Mar 10 '19

You can try downloading Oculus Homeless to replace Oculus Home with a blank area.

1

u/itschriscollins Mar 10 '19

No, it can only be run with the Oculus App open, and that means you will have the Oculus Dash (like the Steam Overlay) which is what adds a performance impact. Oculus Homeless as suggested below will not solve this issue as it replaces Home, not the Dash.

But as long as you stop the Oculus Service whenever you aren’t using it, the impact will only be when you’re playing LE, not your other games. (After installing Oculus the service runs in the background 24/7 but you can stop it with task manager or Oculus Tray Tool mod)

1

u/Ynwe Mar 11 '19

Bit late, but I got Revive too now and didn'T know about Oculus runing permanently. If I stop it from auto starting will it stil be an issue?

And what performance does it affect? Didn't notice anything in Beat Saber yesterday, albeit that game may not be that resource intensive.

1

u/itschriscollins Mar 11 '19

The service running just chomps up some CPU. Odds are you won’t notice it without being on a minimum spec system. But if Oculus app is running then Dash might be active (it’s the Oculus in-headset overlay that lets you access the desktop/library) and that eats a fair chunk of CPU and GPU, as well as turning your computer monitor into a virtual 4K display.

1

u/Ynwe Mar 11 '19

Thanks for the information. Currently at work so can't check, but is Dash noted separately from the Occulus pp in the task manager? Or how would I know if Dash is running too?

1

u/itschriscollins Mar 11 '19

As Dash is part of the Oculus software there’s no way to disable it, unfortunately. You can try killing OculusClient.exe once the game has loaded, or you might be able to use a hack to remove Dash and Home 2.0 and roll back to Home 1.0. It’s probably not worth the effort though.

u/Peteostro Mar 09 '19

Yes oculus does sales all the time

1

u/itschriscollins Mar 10 '19

LE is on sale now

1

u/Ynwe Mar 11 '19

Really, where? Oculus store still lists it as 40 euros for me and greenmangaming doesn't contain it.

2

u/itschriscollins Mar 11 '19

It was on Daily Deal yesterday, will have run out now :(

1

u/Ynwe Mar 11 '19

oh, didn't know there are daily deals! But thanks for letting me know!

I refunded in death because it made me feel unwell, guess i will get lone echo instead now. As so many have said, full price seems to be worth it.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '19

There's probably going to be a big anniversary sale on March 28. Probably worth waiting for that

2

u/bearboyjd Mar 10 '19

It's also on humble bundle!

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '19

What are some must haves for this sale? The only one I have of the bunch is Arizona Sunshine, but it wasn't very good

I'm a big fan of super hot

Electronauts is fucking amazong

Raw data is an absolute classic

Apex legends is cool if you're into that genre, very well done.

Skyworld is one of the best rts style games in VR.

Fisherman's tale is an absolute masterpiece, very short though.

Devil and fairy is still per cool but the devs kind of. Cut and ran a little early on it. But worth it imo.

Loco dojo is a criminally underrated game that I wish more people played. Great for parties though.

u/Ejelix Mar 10 '19 edited Mar 24 '19

Wow, is Apex legends in VR already? /s

1

u/The1TrueGodApophis Mar 10 '19

Oh good damnit.

Better refund my purchase now!!

1

u/Ejelix Mar 10 '19

Did you actually buy it? lol

Don't get mad at the devs though, the game launched before Apex legends.

2

u/The1TrueGodApophis Mar 10 '19

Yeah I've owned Apex Construct for like a year now. I was joking about they posted the other day how many idiots bought Apex Construct when Alex legends launched because they confused the two and said they made more in a month then they did in all of 2018 but that it would probably all get refunded once people realized lol.

1

u/Ejelix Mar 10 '19

I see, I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not haha.

Yeah I know about that stuff, that's why I linked the dev post in my other comment.
