OT: Video Game Thread Part VII

[trostol]

I’m looking for a VR drum game that’s cheap but good to mess around with. Doesn’t need actual songs, just a basic drum kit setup and the ability for me to pound away at.

isn't that just air-drumming lol

 

[Lord Defect]

isn't that just air-drumming lol

Well, yeah, but without sound.

 

[Lord Defect]

Alright, resident evil 4 in VR is awesome as f***.

There's a few in the Quest official store and unofficial store (Sidequest). Not sure how good they are though.


Then there's this....

i have a strange desire for a new guitar hero game

I used to love Guitar Hero and Rockband. Fun social game with drinks. My buddy had two guitars, the drum kit, and mic. It's nuts how much money those games made people spend.

To follow-up on @Lord Defect 's VR drum game, Beat Saber is a complete blast to play. Not a drum game, but if you enjoy insanely catchy EDM, light sabers, and gunning for perfect runs, it's hard to beat. Expert+ mode is pretty nuts.

Is it any easier in that format?

 

[Lord Defect]

Is it any easier in that format?

I don’t know if I’ve played 4 elsewhere. I know I haven’t played 1-3, and have played 5, and have not played after 5.
I know I watched 1-3& Veronica as my friends played them, I could not stand the control scheme but loved the games. 5 was alright but not enough to suck me into the rest of the series.

So started playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order since it was a free to claim game via Amazon Prime gaming (needed Amazon Prime subscription)

I'm not really finding it as fun as KOTOR or even Force Unleashed yet. I'll see what it becomes as more powers get unlocked, but something that really bothers me on all 'recent games' is I understand why 15, 20, 30 years ago games had 'limits' on where you could go, what you could climb, etc...

But to have this game tell a JEDI "Ooops, sorry. You can't actually climb *THAT ROCK* you can only climb this *SPECIFIC ROCK* or do this or do that is just annoying as hell in 2021 when you got so many other 'open-world' games literally letting you climb or go anywhere, destroy anything, etc...

Your dude is going to get WAY more powerful and all those off-limit areas will be unlocked. It gets way better in that regard. You have to re-learn how to be a Jedi; and for once, you are one of the regular unremarkable Jedi instead of some incredible legendary Force-specimen.

Tip: unlock the "standing dodge" ASAFP. Absolutely a blast to just Matrix-lean your way out of attacks and slaughter your attacker.

Is this the one with star killer, or whatever his name is? Or is this the one where Ian from shameless did the motion capture?

 

[Hurricane28]

Battlefield 2042 price already cut in half...yikes.

Shameless one, got that straightened out.

We were robbed of the greatest idea that I have heard in a long time in the force unleashed.

That game is so good, and this is one of the reasons why. I've played through that game 3 times, and have never even unlocked that move once lmao. So many different ways to play it

Gameplay I've seen looks really meh.

I saw it for $5 already.

You gotta try it

I think that was just for meme purposes.

[Fire Tortorella]

So I'm playing against Roddy Ross in a 6v6 club game...

 

[Cody Webster]

I think that was just for meme purposes.

I saw that it wasnt a meme, just that the store f***ed up putting the new price on the game and then quickly fixed their mistake, but who knows

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Gameplay I've seen looks really meh.

I played the beta for about 30 minutes. It was a freaking mess.

Does that mean physical games are not included or it’s virtual attendance?
Way to be douchebags over the verbiage

Rona got to them. It’s not in person.

@Beef Invictus how’s the next gen?
