  • Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

    The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

    Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case


  • Don’t bother.

    I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.

    Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.

    Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.




  • I got it on launch and was disappointed. I wanted a sequel to XB1, and got a game with a mute create-your-own main character and a story that had literally no connection to 1, if you could even call it a story. It’s barebones. Since then, my opinion has changed and I love it. But it’s a very different beast.

    it’s all about exploring, mining for resources, taking on quests, inventory/gear management and battling monsters on foot and in massive custom mechs. It’s incredible. But it has some serious downsides, and some serious WTF music choices by Sawano, although the majority of his soundtrack is awesome.

    I’ve got it playing on Cemu at the moment, still holds up.

    Edit: your mech (called a skell) can fly. And turn into a car. And there are zero loading screens as you explore the gigantic world. At all. It’s mindboggling that it even existed on the Wii U (the world engine was later used for Zelda: Breath of the Wild).

    Edit edit: the game also had multiplayer when active on the Wii U. Being able to jump into other teams and help with quests is something they need to bring back.



  • One thing I didn’t mention - everyone in the world is born at age 10, trained to fight, and either die on the battlefield or when they hit their 10th year (20 years old) in a process called “homecoming”. The main goal of the protagonists is to live beyond their artificially short lifespan, and one of the two protagonists (an Agnian girl, Mio) has only three months left.

    There’s a lot more to it than just that, but spoilers. This is just the general gist as shown in the reveal trailer.
