2 big things can help your 2nd point:
- A circle rug with noticeably different feel to it compared to the floor it’s on.
- A single floor standing fan aiming at the area (or circle rug) where you use VR.
Both should help you maintain your orientation in the world without breaking your immersion.
Some games are just poorly made though, and even give me motion sickness. And I basically never get motion sickness from VR in general.
I was accepted into the test of this game. I don’t play Siege at all anymore, but was excited to see their “fixed” audio in action, and the new game mode with limited operators seemed fun and fresh.
The audio was considerably worse. Sound literally was unable to go through doorways and windows.
I also noticed when spectating that like >1/2 of players would die from getting shot in the back. Like completely oblivious someone else was nearby. Then I realized basically no one could hear anything, like at all. We couldn’t hear gadgets, glass breaking, barriers being thrown up or torn down, foot steps; just faint gunshots if they were only one room away.
I hate gambling, but if possible I’d consider betting big $ it’s not fixed, at all.
I’ve started rating games I finish, or didn’t like enough to finish, in backloggd.com
I do the same for movies and tv series on a different website, too.
I have a friend who played a TON of Apex on console, and spent nearly $1000 on it. He moved to PC gaming, and Apex promised cross platform skins soon™. They finally do it, years later, and fuck it up. He lost all his skins, his account was basically wiped of all things he spent $ on. They refuse to help him.
He’d play an Apex clone for sure, but probably not one from Ubisoft.
Anidotal, I know.
Thats crazy you experience this. I have like 1500 hours in SoT, and it’s Rare (pun intended) to even hear other crews use voice chat. I can’t remember the last time someone was toxic. My only gripe is their servers suck sooooooooo much ass, I legit don’t think they have a single employee that knows how fix it.
Do you do open crew?
I’ll try it this weekend again, hopefully I’ll have better luck with servers when people have off from work.
I very much enjoy the hardcore milsim shooters, too. I used played a ton of Hell Let Loose, and even though it’s a bit more casual Rising Storm 2 Vietnam was always mega fun.
Also, don’t worry, you haven’t oversold the game or anything. Your posts have been extremely helpful, and really hyping me to see if I can get this game to work for me!
I very recently played the 1st, and am currently mid way through 2. All these years later, and 2 still has jarring performance dips… On my 5800X3D and 6800XT… I legit think they made 2 way too heavy for their game engine.
The amount of frustrations is way more, too. I’ve had to load saves so many times because I’m RIGHT behind someone, but instead of a stealth kill, I just slash my sword at their back and alert every one else in the process. Also stealth kills from jumping down on people. There’s like a 1/4 second time window to press sword attack, and all the damn time I just slice at the top of their head, or land on them, both breaking stealth and alerting everyone, again… Just a month ago I never struggled with any of these issues playing the 1st.
Retail has become a very tiring roller coaster. Season by season things shift wildly from mega fun, to dog shit. And it makes no sense. The WoW team has to have all the metrics on what people like and don’t like, yet they’ll go double down and try something that was universally hated just 1-2 years ago. The biggest is when they cater to casual players, everyone loves it. So 1-2 seasons later they cater to the hardcore and everyone leaves and the game sucks.
Nothing will turn my pants brown faster than horror + water, and I know I’m not alone on that one. Hopefully the fishing bits will be relaxing to give my heart a break.
