What's your favourite VR game so far? Mines got to be Audioshield or The Lab. The Gallery seems overrated so far! Managed to play some Hover Junkers without wanting to puke... Good game but it makes me dizzy:(

For me so far it's parts of the The lab as they're so polished, amusing and detailed. Sets the bar really for what I want to see in future titles.

Exactly my thoughts! I want a full game based on that rpg mini game. It's such a great looking game and the exploration was awesome.

The Gallery on the other hand has been a complete let down for £23. I've had control issues, crashing and the last time I played it wiped out my Vive camera, so I had to uninstall the drivers and reset the USB within the developer tab in SteamVR.

So far the story has been mediocre too. Thinking of asking for a refund and getting Vanishing Realms instead!

Anyway I can move downstairs in the long to gain space run but I would say a 2.5m x 2.5m is a decent minimum area to aim for the "Room Experience" to work better.

I have just about managed to get 2.5 by 2.5 in my living room, so fingers crossed.

First I have to see any sign of my Vive turning up of course! Cancelled CC order, reordered by logmein (CC again like an idiot) but now... Not heard a word since then. Never seen a hold or anything.

Don't forget about ceiling height... I have smashed my Vive controllers into the ceiling more times than I care to remember!

So far only twice. One in Pirate trainer firing at a target passing overhead and firs time was in the simulated cavern (The Lab) poking a ballon!

I think my ceiling is high enough actually... but only one way to test. Thankfully its not exactly a vigorous process to wave my hands in the air for a second!

I'm 6'2" and I was reaching up so it's not been a problem since.

I did prep my room though before it arrived by installing corner down lights and removing the center light fitting.
 
It has arrived! Although I'll leave it in its box till 4pm when I finish work....

The delivery driver asked what it was and that there were quite a few boxes like this sent out this morning... Good luck everyone!

When mine arrived my delivery driver had been told to be careful as "they are quite expensive"... I would hope they would be careful with all their packages!
 
So couldn't help myself and had to set it up; had the entirety of about 20 seconds with the head-set on and oh my goodness.

I want this meeting over and done with so I can properly play!
