The hangout thread (organising social gaming etc)

Think I might have zero caliber on steam, again bought as a bundle.

edIT - Just thought, I'd love a Gears of War in VR.

The benefits of having a different username...

Don't ask Mel for help, he never gets my name right

. Ruby ruby ruby ruby!!!!

Sounds good to me. I quite enjoyed being the rogue character. King of the runaways! Also quite handy for finding health potions and stocking gold and chests before descending.

If Rav doesn't make it, then rec room?

Yep, I'm available.

Woohoo! Demeo it is.

Unseul · 10 Dec 2021 at 09:27

There are a few among us copies about, rec room etc, I wonder how well they compare. It's a fairly simple game, so i could easily imagine it's been replicated fairly accurately. Definitely would be a fun game to play though! Might need more than the usual 4.

Unseul · 11 Dec 2021 at 17:57

I should be on Monday. We did finish Demeo, unless we want another run at the rat king, think I fancy something else then back to demeo later.

Might be able to make Sunday, but I don't know.

Unseul · 11 Dec 2021 at 20:02

Didn't realise there was a new dungeon coming. Definitely pencil that in.

Don't have After the fall, is it crossbuy on oculus?

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 10:33

Just played a couple of After the Fall missions with 2 randoms and a bot, lots of fun. Definitely interested in playing more and would be happy to have it as a hangout game.

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 11:54

No idea. Happy with whatever but I'm not buying anything

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 13:55

Definitely up for After the fall, enjoying it a lot so far. Unfortunately my headset just died so I dropped out of a fun mission with some guys I'd partied up with.

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 14:14

Awesome! Think I may have to try virtual desktop with it next time I play, see how the PCVR version is.

but that will be steam not Oculus ?

I would imagine that'll be steam. Unless it explicitly states it's oculus.

Performance on quest 2 standalone is pretty good. Slow to load, and it's better that someone on PCVR hosts the game it seems, but it does the job, and in game runs smooth.

ShiWarrior said:
surely oculus would be better to get because of the cross buy ?

I've got oculus.

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 18:33

There's definitely a difference between the two, but in terms of gameplay, I'm more than happy with the standalone. Think I might use standalone for tonight, since it'll save on bandwidth.

Oh for After the Fall is there a Tutorial I have to play through first? Or can I just start the game straight away? And How will we find each other in game??

You can befriend players in game, and invite them into a party. There is a very short tutorial, maybe loadup 5 minutes before. Then it does want you to do 5 quests, just introducing you to the areas, so we can simply do the missions in that order anyway, and return to base each time for you to proceed to the next one.

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 19:45

Right, I'm going in.

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 21:57

So it'll be pcvr for me next time, in the hopes that I don't get kicked out the game

. Missing that purple disk (purple floppy sounds bad...) wasn't fun.

Unseul · 13 Dec 2021 at 22:11

Let me guess, last place for the score? Hopefully that means I got the discs, though if it was blue, then it's probably a duplicate. Need to start trying harder levels to get the purples.
