I'm happy to try PCVR coop stuff like arizona, but I often suffer from a bit of lag due to not being in the best place for it.

I know what you mean Jay, in VR i find anything "scary" is too scary, but on a monitor, i can play them no problem

I cant even do that free zombie/horror game on steam, i chicken out

Arizona Sunshine isn't the least bit scary. At least I didn't find it scary at all. On a scale where The Rec Room dorm room is a 1 and Alien Isolation Mother VR mod is a 10, I rate Arizona Sunshine as a 3 maybe a 4 at most.

Exactly, its the spatial awareness that gets me, because im in control of my body and where i look and what i do directly interacts with what i see making it feel more scary that it actually is. There's nothing worse than turning around and finding a zombie point blank infront of your face, instincts kick in and its fight and flight mode lol.

Oh yeah i could happily play it normally without VR but in VR everything is so much more tense. I've had a few jumps playing boneworks where the headcrab things launch at you lol.

But, that's what I am saying. The head crabs in Boneworks are scarier than anything in Arizona Sunshine. It's just a game where you shoot zombies and the Zombies in this game aren't scary at all.

EDIT: Most of the game is in bright Sunshine or well lit areas. There is one dark area in the mines. But, you know what the Zombies are like at this stage. The problem in the dark area is trying to shoot the Zombies rather than any actual scary moments.

And I have just been Rick Rolled!!

Gonna get it with the humble bundle, i figured its at least worth £20 for that alone. Zombie games i've always enjoyed but being so up close to one freaks me out abit lol. I'm a wimp...

LMAO! You was warned :cry:

Until You Fall is a brilliant game!! I enjoyed it more than Arizona Sunshine. A Fisherman's Tale is supposed to be excellent as well.

Haha, I am a bit of a wimp too, but, Arizona Sunshine didn't stress me out at all.

ShiWarrior · 20 Sep 2021 at 13:41

i would buy it for until you fall (which ive always wanted to play) and Arizona Sunshine

Untill you fall is £20 on its own, so if i like that, id be happy

Ha, I'm sure its not too scary!

FYI, Arizona Sunshine is not cross-play between the native Quest version and the Steam version, so make sure you're on the same platform if you want to try co-op.

Snap! Right will keep that in mind and see what platform everyone else is playing on. I suspect the PC version will look a lot better graphically.

Get the humble Bundle.

If you are talking about Arizona Sunshine, I have it on Steam, well, VivePort, I got it free when I gave Viveport a trial ages ago.

Unseul · 20 Sep 2021 at 16:27

I got the bundle, so PCVR for me.

So who's turning up tonight? So far I think it's me and Shi I've seen?
