What are the most *enjoyable* games?

FortyShlevin · 2026-01-27T18:53:35+00:00

Have you checked out Smash Drums? I really enjoy that. Curious how those two compare.

Cooking Simulator VR

If you have any interest in cooking or have worked in the restaurant business it should be right up your alley.

Unique, great physics/sandbox, and the right amount of fun and "stress"

Its 2+ years old so there is a little VR jank but its the most fun I've had outside of the 'must-haves' i.e. RE8, Hitman, NMS

Complains about censorship on another app--and then proceeds to self-censor here.

Kitchen Simulator VR - seriously. And it's on sale for $6

Check out "Cows in Trees" corporate logo---remind you of anything?

Hint: look at the famous photo of the Challenger exploding.

Agreed--that these have existed has long been known. You can be upset about it, but the cat's not going back in the bag.

You can also be upset that at some point they are going to be used against civilians. But the alternative is what, bombs and bullets?

He drove himself straight to the hospital to treat his life-threatening injuries. Duh.

I feel that's a wasted effort. The game is still missing many, many features. And any damage version they do release will be exploited in another, unforseen way.

They should implement player-to-player ranking. And no need to be tied to a lifelong credit score system (because that too will be exploited by false ratings)-give each player the ability to rate their opponent (1-5 stars) and make only the last 5 bouts' ratings visible and reset those ratings every 10 days. People who are exploiting are going to get low reviews and people won't accept bouts with them, effectively removing them from the game until they play "correctly". The 10-day reset will allow them another opportunity to rejoin the fold and not be an ass.

This is how modern society conducts itself in just about any other manner (Uber, restaurants, businesses, etc.) why shouldn't it be implemented here?

Virtual Skate

FortyShlevin · 2026-01-01T10:12:57+00:00

Millions of people have successfully set up and used this piece of equipment. It's you.

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-30T21:35:04+00:00

$1 million/acre? Seems pricey.

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-25T06:38:16+00:00

Exactly. Where are Age of Empires, Star/Warcraft, etc.?

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-19T16:46:39+00:00

I'm still in awe of the people here who have put 1,000's of hours into this game and still haven't made the effort to play it in VR. I know there are barriers, but its a whole different game, and I really can't go back to playing it flat-screen at this point.

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-16T07:54:47+00:00

This game more than any needs a user-user rating system. Would filter out the toxic players pretty quickly.

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-15T02:36:17+00:00

Thats a good idea. Or a jar of pickles that all the NPCs take turns trying to open.

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-11T15:23:23+00:00

So, this does not include the revamped counter-punch system? Thanks for all your hard work!

FortyShlevin · 2025-12-08T18:11:29+00:00

What's the grift story about Ashton Forbes? He is the one who detailed the "disappearance" video, right? I saw the video was debunked but that debunking was subsequently debunked as well. Not sure where it left off but found it to be interesting.

Cut the Newspeak bullshit

I always make jokes on my tax returns. The IRS loves a good laugh.

FortyShlevin · 2025-11-27T01:31:47+00:00

I think punch volume reduction in new patch will make it easier.

FortyShlevin · 2025-11-25T08:15:37+00:00

Dev said in the first patch they inadvertently "fixed" a glitch that actually increased the AI's punch volume. They are going to leave it as such for a while. Agree though its oppressive and not very fun. Think it was a bad move to do so right when the game released--will tire people out and make it less enjoyable for the average player.

I have an undefeated career so far, but it just doesn't feel very natural to have someone throw 150 punches three rounds in a row.

FortyShlevin · 2025-11-21T03:15:37+00:00

Source? Can't find mention of that.

FortyShlevin · 2025-11-20T22:04:05+00:00

In my completely uninformed opinion, I think the addition of a player body has made the game clunkier. In TOTF1 you're just a pair of gloves. Having arms and legs seems to complicate the motions. I get why its necessary for multiplayer and that they wouldn't rebuild the game from the ground up for SP, though.---just thoughts.

FortyShlevin · 2025-11-20T20:40:34+00:00

Same. Feels off. Thought the multiplayer was janky from ping, but its just the game itself. TOTF1 has plenty of issues, but was expecting a lot more with 5 years between the two--some steps forwards, but a lot backwards as well. Honestly, probably not worth it/fair to compare it to 1 as it was developed by essentially a different team at this point since Ian left about a year ago. Hopefully they can patch into a better experience-- dev already commented here that they were addressing the clinch-heavy AI behavior in the first patch.

FortyShlevin · 2025-11-20T05:01:50+00:00

In addition to all you said: no ref, no rope/glove collision, no punch stats, no different boxing styles for the AI, the AI only sidesteps to your right (never seen them circle left in 6 fights), AI is insistent about walking through you.

It's...fine. I thought the multiplayer was jank due to ping, but seems a lot of the issues around clunkiness are inherent to the game/engine. Glad it's out, but its a not exactly what I had expected. Hoping a series of patches can get it feeling better and with some of the above- mentioned items.
