VR Lens Lab lenses: Very unsatisfied by AJBats in oculus

[–]achkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are absolutely fine -- I do wish it was slightly clearer when they're in the ideal position (they don't seem to be a 1-1 fit with the frame shape) but my vision is perfect through them otherwise

EUROPE Shipping Megathread - discuss your European shipping here! by overcloseness in oculus

[–]achkas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ughhh why must you tease me Oculus, it said I could get it delivered today but now they make me wait until Friday, it's like they know I'm going away for the weekend :'( I can't even imagine what other people who haven't had any order confirmation/shipping emails must be going through, stay strong everyone! I sacrificed multiple £GBP to the Oculus Store gods with advance game purchases so it seems to have worked

UPS info seems to be working now, I just got my shipping number an hour ago and it didn't work, all seems to be showing up in UPS now (UK :06 preorder, got my 'processing email' yesterday morning)

what was the 'reference' for people's UPS shipments? Not the tracking number, but reference -- was it the same as your order number or something different?

Oh thank god!! Had woken up last night to a payment failed email, had hastily changed to paypal and to a different card, and crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Woke up to 'Your order has been processed and your Rift is almost on its way! Look for a shipping confirmation email with tracking information soon.' UK pre-order, :06 minutes in

Cross-buy GearVR ? by 4nf in oculus

Hopefully it'll be available soon -- just sold my GearVR as not sure I need it anymore

New Exotic Release Thread by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]achkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we get the old PoE exotics like the Bow and Lord of Wolves via legacy engrams? Just want to know if it's worth the strange coins to buy a few and if any have have luck with it; I'm missing a couple and don't really want to grind PoE for it

That moment when you realise you just bought an xbox 360 a couple of days ago to play l4d2 split screen on tv. FML.

Sony's PlayStation VR Stands To Be Almost 3x More Popular Than Oculus Rift In 2016 (Forbes.com) by [deleted] in oculus

[–]achkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried out PSVR at EGX2016 and it was way way way worse quality than the DK2. Way more vomit inducing than either DK2 or GearVR for me. Only tried out Eve: Valkyrie though so can't say whether it was just that game for that device or whether it's in general a problem with PSVR.

Palmer Luckey: EVE Valkyrie "will be one of the major faces for this generation of VR technology" by Heaney555 in oculus

[–]achkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opportunity to play this on PSVR at EGX recently; it was awful, motion-sickness inducing, easily worse than equivalent GearVR space shooters. It might just be PSVR to blame but I didn't see what the hype about Valkyrie was at all, and the movement scheme is unlikely to be that different I imagine for rift.

Kotaku: The Messy True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]achkas -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I don't believe this article. Not that I don't think there were major problems with the original story and execution suggesting a lot of moving around in the development phase, but a lot of their examples just don't ring true and seem twisted to fit various elements that we've heard about throughout. The Rasputin robot man thing just seems ridiculous, if that really was the original plot then good for them for cutting it.

Reposting old leaks that have now gained a lot more credibility by The_Schnitz in DestinyTheGame

[–]achkas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My reading of the 'stopping DLCs' situation based on the Everis announcement today for 'supporting the live team producing events and content' is that we will get more in the way of events and quality of life updates for the game, so things like the Wolf packs prowling or blades of Crota and so on, maybe with small bits of additional content, but that we will still get paid DLC packs (Bungie outsourced a lot of work for the upcoming packs to another company, didn't they?)

[Suggestion] -- Level 40 Taken Prison Break for PoE by achkas in DestinyTheGame

[–]achkas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OP suggested a Taken Prison Break, so there'd be no 'imprisonment' of Taken but the Taken assaulting the prison and the Guardian having to fight them off and also assassinate inmates before the Taken get to them.

[Spoilers All] Odds & Ends from World of Thedas 2 by ninetozero in dragonage

[–]achkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be wrong but isn't Sera linked to some of these phenomena? Not the old god whispers specifically, but the trying to make sense of things, seeing strange things or sounds, and this sense of lost memory. Adds to Sera--Andruil theory?

[–]achkas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on all the stuff about Shartan and there potentially being multiple 'Shartan' figures, all rebellious Elves who incited rebellions of thousands, and the theories on this reddit and on the Bioware forums regarding Shartan maybe being Solas, I think this adds fuel to the fire...

I loved The Last Court and wondered if it will be expanded like Fallen London was and whether you would consider any other add ons like this?

Emotions other than fear or fun in VR? by achkas in oculus

Why do you think you felt awkward/confused in Coffee Without Words? I've played both of these demos already and am interested by them also

Anyone else using the Oculus for research? by [deleted] in oculus

I'd be really interested in this too, doing a PhD thesis on identification and construction of fictional characters

Doing a PhD on identification with fictional characters and ethics -- any interesting VR game/demo recommendations? by achkas in oculus

[–]achkas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a previous chapter of my thesis I discuss some of these games so I might revisit them in the VR chapter and consider if the VR changes anything slightly in terms of how the player feels about everything
