So I've decided to get Moss, Pistol Whip and Walkbabout Mini golf.

Bob

Got this set up last night and it's a lovely piece of kit. The design of the headset is better than Oculus imo. It's more comfortable, you can wear glasses under it and you don't feel like you've got a massive screen hanging off the front of your face.. and those screens are sweet as.

This is more like what I thought VR would be like. Tried Pistol Whip and it's fantastic. Shooting dodging got a real sweat worked up until I tripped over a coffee table behind me but no harm done.

Then I tried Walkaboout Mini golf and it is actually like playing golf.. you can see your club and it's so instinctive. Very good for the money.

Moot_Geeza

Tell me more about Walkabout Mini Golf pls.

Moot_Geeza

I guess this is the right place to moan about the pitiful VR showing in Sony's showcase? I don't think I fancied playing any of the super army soldiers offerings.

If you want to see it in the pretty, pretty then get red matter 2 as well Bob. Looks as nice as anything I’ve seen yet and holds up well in a puzzle explorer thing.

Oh and Another Fisherman’s Tale turned up in the last few days. First one was excellent on Quest.

Its cross platform so you can play with us questors i think. Need to double check that though.

Bob

So the two course I played where really solid. It looks amazing as teh courses are sort of floating. You only need one of the joycons and you kind of get into holding like a club. a press of R2 takes you straight to you ball but you are able to move anywhere you want.

A good amount of challenge.. I was getting birdies by the second back 9 but as always with crazy golf you can get a challenging one. It's really really good in VR.

In fairness the Quest is a portable device so apples and orifices. The elite strap address the weight distribution much better. Anyhoo, chuffed you’re liking the PSVR2.

Sounds like there's quite a lot of content too, even without the dlc. Just watched a video, it's a definite maybe.

Being able to wear my glasses is a big plus. Austy is liking Oculus and I think the lack of the lead is better for him.. They're both good and I'm pretty sure I can now justify having both.

Yeah each course seems to have a full 18 holes and a distinct style.

Big shouts to Bob for the Walkabout Golf recommendation. Just spent an hour pootling around 2 of the courses and it’s a lovely little thing.

Walkabout golf is great. Excellent with a group of mates too. Big laffs had with the forum crew on Oculus.

Bob

Struggling with the second story level where you have to do the punching.. near the end of the level there's just turrets but loads and loads of bullets incoming.. ?

Syph79

That doesn’t sound like golf at all?

Bob

Sorry went back to pistol whip

Syph79

I’ve just been doing the arcade levels and messing with single and dual guns, as well as difficulty. Chasing scores.

Bob

How do you get the dual guns working ?

Moot_Geeza

There's an option down the bottom somewhere when you're selecting a non-campaign stage.

Syph79

You shoot the image of one gun on the stage select, I believe, and it’ll turn to a picture of two.

Pull the trigger. Point the noisy end towards the thing you want to die.

Bob

Thrillingly now got under par for the first two
18 hole courses!

Just tried some NMS and jumped right into my old save which was probably a mistake. It looks great and I headed down to my old base, the way the ships control is great and the detail in the cockpit is far better than when I played it on the quest. But probably best not to have then jumped into the Nomad hovercraft and went exploring up and down hills, feeling quite queasy now, one for when my VR legs are stronger.

Bob

How does movement work ?

There's walking or teleportation options available - but i actually ended up using the analogue walking in the end. Flight treats your left controller like a flightstick and it best if you rest it on your knee or sth, so you can tilt it forward or back. Jumping around with the jetpack is an experience, as is flying at high speeds low along a planet surface.

Bob

Austy tried pistol whip and was really good at it. Dual wielding like a pro.

Howdy, Stranger!
