Annoyingly this won't run for me on the quest 2. All installed correctly as far as I can tell.  First time you run it it just quits and creates the folders,  then you copy the files from your PC. But subsequently it behaves the same way, tries to start then quits out. 

 

I am dissapoint.

And it’s def doom 3 original not the bfg version your using?

Yup, doubled checked that.

Did you only copy over the files it tells you to? There was a rogue file sandwiched in between the necessary files in my steam folder.

 

Doom 3 is probably now the best game on the quest, runs amazing on the quest 2 as well. Cant wait to see what game they port over next and hopefully sets the bar as to new VR games.

Just Picked  up Pistol Whip.  The pics and videos do not do this game justice.  When reviewers say you feel like John Wick they weren`t wrong.  This game is all kinds of awesome and gets you sweating like a pig to.  Just done the classic tracks and about to start legendary tracks.  Haven`t even tried 2089 yet. Looks like there's loads of replay value in this and very promising developers keep adding free content to like 2089.  Well worth the cash.

It’s really good, until you get to a level in 2089 where you have no ammo. It’s during that level when you piston whip your less than a month old 65 inch TV that it starts to make you feel a new kind of sick!

 

 

 

For full disclosure, my ps eye camera thing on top of the TV took the brunt of the hit and the TV is Ok!

 

For others reference, learn from my mistakes, controls don’t seem to be tracked for the guardian by default!

Yeah followed all the instructions to the letter , redone it a few times to be sure. No joy

Worked fine for me. Just installed the app with side quest, fired it up, transferred the files then fired it up again and it was fine.

I picked up an Oculus Quest 2 last week. Pistol Whip sorted obviously. One question I havent been able to figure out... is there an aim assist set by default or is it something you need to adjust yourself? I seen a hint pop up that mentioned 'aim assist' but the hint disappeared before I could read the full detail and now I cant find anything in the menus, modifiers, etc. about it. I dont want an assist on so be good to know if there is something in place.

 

Also, must have been my 5th or 6th session last night before I discovered the additional gun options  all that time I thought it was just the first standard set you could choose from. The Baba Yaga and Sci-Fi ones are just pure porn!

[sbrandon111]

Yes Aim Assist is the default mode, it's very generous too. The real high scores are achieved by turning this off as it's classed as a modifier. Be prepared for the crushing realisation that your aim isn't nearly as good as you think it is

Most probably old news but this VR mod looks incredible.  GTA V single player campaign fully playable in VR

 

 

 

How do I sort this? Not sure I even could if I wanted to but how?! 

[metallicfrodo]

I had a go early on with aim assist off on pistol whip, far too hard for me and totally sucked the fun out of the game. I want to feel like John Wick, not a fucking Storm Trooper.

[Eighthours]

The game is designed around the auto aim. Don't worry about it!

[Corranga]

The modifier has a silly name though I think, like hardcore or bullseye or something, I can't remember.     @MardiganX float over each of the modifiers and read the descriptions, one says something about more accurate aiming.

As others have said, it sucks the fun out of the game as you'll probably realise you're crap at it

Got a Quest 2 the other day. Loving it so far. 

 

I got Beat Saber. Is it worth getting Pistol Whip so soon after or are they different enough?

Got The Climb but refunded it, same with Wander and Thrill of the Fight. I don't think I have enough space for that. Also refunded that plank game which is brilliant but only for five minutes.

 

Is that golf game good if you only have around 1.5m*2.5m space to play in?

[metallicfrodo]

I would say that Pistol Whip and Beat Saber while both nominally rhythm action games are very different and worth getting along side each other.

 

Having said that they are both quite physical games and IF this is your first foray into VR and you’re restricted cash wise then something like Shadow Point or Red Matter might be a better compliment at this point in time.

Both golf games, ProPutt and Walkabout mini golf, are great and they don't require much space at all. You can pretty much stand on the spot and if you press the trigger button you teleport behind the ball. You should be fine for space. Of the two I prefer Walkabout but they are both lots of fun.

[Hodge]

Anyone got vrcovers new facial interface for quest 2 yet? Noticed they come back in stock. Heard mixed reviews on them. Can't always trust YouTube videos with vrcover sending out lots of free stuff.

Yes yes, buy Walkabout! We can have a rllmuk golf night!

Thanks for the assist.

Its amazing it runs natively on the quest, doesnt seem so long agao this was the peak of PC gaming.

[papalazarou]

I was thinking the same when I played It- I remember the hype when it originally came out on pc  - the graphics at the time were next level mind blowing (I rember playing the leaked dev version before it came out which put my hype right through the roof)  and now I’m playing on my quest but more importantly I’m actually there in the midst of hell breaking loose :-)

Updates!

 

I refunded the Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets. It had been recommended as a puzzle game, but I think it sits awkwardly as too easy for adults, and too hard for kids.

 

Picked up Trover Saves the Universe. If you like Rick and Morty, you'll enjoy this. I'm only half an hour in, but they have a lot of fun explaining the arbitrary mechanics of games and collect-a-thons. It's at the pricier end, about 22 quid, but so far I'm happy with that.

 

And TopGolf is an excellent way to hang out with a friend and chat in a place that feels sunny. As well as a fun golf game too.

 

 

[davejm]

Just got my delivery of the elite strap with battery and carry case.  Oh my it's so much of an improvement, and having that counterweight on the back of the headset makes it feel so much better.  I'm impressed!

[Ry]

Not played my quest in months thinking of diving back in. 

 

Is top golf worth getting? I don't have any friends so not sure how it is in single player. Does it have online matchmaking?

[Jamie John]

Is there a tried and tested way to prevent the goggles from misting up, especially when you haven't used the Quest for a while? It's a pain in the arse to take it all off and wipe them every five minutes, especially when you're using headphones. I think it's my body heat condensing on the cold glass.

Any recommendations for a replacement faceplate? I've read that some can make fogging better or worse?

 

Ta!

[Dirty Harry Potter]

Does anyone else find the faceplate incredibly uncomfortable on their cheeks? It’s legitimately painful after a few minutes. Never had this problem on the quest 1.

I got a very basic silicone faceplate protector from Aliexpress. It has a slightly rubbery feel but stops sweat getting on the foam one. It has helped with fog too, though this wasn't a massive problem for me. It was only about £4 including postage from France.

 

It is good but on balance I wish I'd paid more for a cushioned one which appear to be nearer £12 to £15. I'd say the comfort of the silicone one is fine but not much better than the standard foam that comes with the Oculus 2. I'm pretty lucky in that the standard headset and strap suit my small head fine and don't give me comfort issues until a good hour in now.

[simms]

I was going to say I've got this cheap silicone face cover from Aliexpress.  I find the standard foam face cover irritates my skin so the silicone one is easy to clean.
