Hey if anyone wants to add me my name is Ginnnny on steam and Oculus.

I haven't bought any games yet though and I'm still getting used to it all and trying out the free ones.

Rec rooms pretty good for being free. Paintball and battlegrounds

Where's the best place to buy games for rift?

With normal pancake games I normally grab them off cdkeys or where ever there is an offer.

Is it better to just buy them off rift store?

Key sites for SteamVR games, Oculus have really good sales too, there’s a some excellent ones going right now. £30 for Lone Echo and SuperHot

Can you watch Netflix or YouTube on the Rift? or have they blocked it for the GO version only? Ta

Uncle Petey · 25 Sep 2018 at 23:16

You can watch anything you want with whatever virtual desktop you happen to use.

Shiari · 26 Sep 2018 at 07:34

Yeah you can watch stuff like that, but I consider it a poor experience ... you get way more resolution out of a monitor and even the Go is apparently a lot better. That said, on the Rift you can have a window up that's playing something like Netflix or Youtube while you're playing something else.

What are the recommendations for virtual desktop stuff. I'm an oculus newbie, so bare with me. There has been talk of overlaying stuff over games too, is that OBS with VR support or something?

SupraWez · 26 Sep 2018 at 11:54

Oculus has built in desktop features although not used much myself and there is also BigScreen.

BigScreen also has the ability to stream a desktop, I have used this on the GO and seems to work ok.

something daft already!! · 27 Sep 2018 at 16:57

My experience so far is that it is OK in small doses. Any more than ten minutes or so and I start to feel either nauseous or bored. It's a shame that I played Elite Dangerous to death and really just can't bring myself to play again.

I bought Fallout 4 VR and I'm now a convert! Having only played it briefly before on a flat screen and not really enjoyed it, with VR I'm loving it. It really works well and looks amazing.

Running out of usb ports on my laptop to run the rift, and other things. Just also bought a g29 for some driving fun.

Anyone reccomend any usb 3 mains powered hubs that don't cost the earth? Some on eBay cheap but not sure how good they are?

Thanks

I think any USB 3 mains powered hub should do the job, the only requirement I think is that it has to be mains powered.

It gets good reviews. And you can fight other VR users which is always good fun. Could have the OCUK boxing league.

I have a couple of boxing games, Thrill of the fight which I enjoy a lot. It's still in early access but it gets better with every update. I also have knockout league, it's a more fun version of boxing. I like it too and they are very active in updating it and adding new features.

There is also Boxing VR, but, I don't have that so can't comment.

Just one thing, no matter which one you get, prepare for a workout.
