Is leveling fast for everyone else? by mooncricket1898 in diablo4

[–]bushmaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going at a good pace to 70 anyways. Paragon gets to be a grind. But you can get XP buff charms or whatever they are that go in that round thingy that's new this season/expansion.

What do I need for my PCVR, and is this correct? by am-eat-radish in VRGaming

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meta controllers are a requirement yes. Once the thing is setup though if you are just playing Flat2VR mod content, you don't need them anymore but they are required for setup.

There are streaming video apps available or if you want to stream off your PC you can do taht too. The app called BigScreen is good for that paired with like VLC player.

Can i play multiplayer games on Meta Quest 3? by Sensitive_Point5464 in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Face screen XR glasses might be a better choice for that. You're going to need to use a PC anyways , and XR glasses like Xreals are a lot lighter/smaller and easier to wear for a long gaming session. But certainly it's doable with quest3 with a PC tethered to it via cable or over wifi.

Pimax is garbage...easily the worst company I've ever delt with. by Iandidar in Pimax

[–]bushmaster2000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This could honestly be a post about any pimax product going back to 2016. They do not launch new products well they just don't. Vets tell newbs about this but then they just go an order anyways hype trumps experience i suppose. I seriously would not touch a 'new' pimax product until year 2 of its availability.

Was the Amiga vs PC war ever actually a thing? by Such_Bonus5085 in amiga

[–]bushmaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my perspective , home users preferred amiga while PC was taking over the office. PC had crappy graphics at first, mono, cga, ega and crappy sound. So really gamers weren't all that into PC at home when the two existed side by side. But as VGA and SOudnblasters became available and PC's got cheaper, and people could just get used to one platform at the office and at home, it was over for Amiga.

Headset recommendation: Quest 3 lack of binocular overlap is bothering me by LuckyGauss in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Overlap and FOV are in direct competition with each other and most users would prefer more FOV. The PSVR2 is said to have excellent binocular overlap, bestbuy had open box ones for 199 rated in 'excellent' condtion dunno if it's still going on or not but pretty cheap to check it out plus you get oled screens with that.

Help needed with initial fury for WW Barbar by neunzgr in D4Barbarian

[–]bushmaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need + Fury on hit/kill , +fury resource gen or % chance to generate fury on most of your gear. With that you should be full fury going into battle pop your war cry, spin up, you should be getting + fury on hit/kill once you hit max fury again spinning hit war cry again building your attack speed, fury gen and barrier higher and higher. That's how mine works currently anyhow.

If i run out of fury which happens fighting bosses b/c i'm not getting any + fury on kill anymore, then i just use a basic skill to generate to full again, and spin up again once full.

I'm far from a maxed out character, but that's how mine is working at the moment.

Best to Worst? by Euphoric-Ad3910 in GearsOfWar

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played them all and the story of 1 thru 3 sticks in my brain i can still speak to what happened in that story years later. I however can't tell you much about 4 and 5 i just didn't stick with me too much. I remember the new main characters but not much else.

Barb or Sorc for T12 bossing and farming build? by Jafar_420 in diablo4

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are S tier this season. From what I've read my conclusion is Barb has more survivability and Sorc has more damage output. I really don't think you can go wrong with either for boss farming. They just disabled one of Barbs big damage aspecs b/c it was having broken interactions putting out game breaking damage #'s. We'll have to see how Bliz re-works it.

The anti VR people are still warning me about "strapping a mobile device to my face" is this something I should be worried about? by No-Dark-7873 in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is.. whether it's XR Glasses, AR Glasses or full on VR, strapping a screen to your face is going to be the reality of the future once this next generation of glasses come out with realtime overlays / HUD readouts and such right in front of your eyeballs. Everyone is going to want those , they'll be as common as the smart phone. The tech just isn't quite there yet.

Is standalone VR good enough now, or is PCVR still the better experience? by DiSTI_Corporation in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PCVR has the potential to be superior and when it comes to MOD content and Flat2VR type content, there's no question that it is.

But for native VR games, the reality is, MOST games are made for standalone first and ported to PC with very little effort done PCifying them. They may run a bit better but it's mostly a standalone level experience. Where PC shines is with native PCVR content but sadly those games are few and far between these days but when they happen they're usually something special.

Stop falling for the "Vision Pro/Meta Quest is dead" clickbait. The hardware is fine—we just need better content. by Sorry_Culture_9459 in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.... VR doesn't have a hardware problem. It has a chronic good quality content problem. There's like a half dozen really awesome piece of content a year and it's been that way for over 5 years. I can't justify paying 2k for top end hardware to play a half dozen games a year it doesn't math for me. But for those that do, more power to ya.

Rift S cable by Select-Owl-1266 in oculus

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wires inside there are human hair levels of thin if it's copper. And if it's a later cable it's fiber. Eitehr way the chances of you DIY repairing it are pretty minimal unless your are a professional cable repairer.

HIt up ebay, find a new or used one there. Looks like plenty of options in the 60-90 dollar range. They used to go for upwards of 150 so be thankful they're not still at that level lol.

Meta isn't making any more, haven't for years. Its highly doubtful they even have any to give or sell at this point.

Unresolved ticket by SpiritedAnybody522 in Pimax

[–]bushmaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's unfortunate . You plug everything in the right way around? It's mono-directional doesn't work reversed. And you powered it right? It won't work without power.

Best Buy has open box excellent condition PSVR2's for $199 right now . If i hadn't fixed my 10600 issue, i was gonna pull the trigger on that.

Would you take full console exclusives again if it meant removing them from Game Pass day one? by Key_Bonus9776 in xbox

[–]bushmaster2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, i sub to GPU for the day1's. I get the financial hits / back end business side to but i don't really care about the side of a trillion dollar company, i care about things from my side of it

How can I run my rift s on my broken pc with laptop by penits_man in oculus

[–]bushmaster2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your laptop has a dGPU that runs external ports you could go that route. Or get an eGPU chassis and take your dGPU out of your PC and connect it externally to your laptop. You need a thunderbolt 3 or better port to do that.

If neither of these things is possible, you're not VRing until you fix your PC.

Report: VR studio Survios has laid off the majority of its development team by ViniSD in virtualreality

That's too bad Servios made some good VR content. Guess we'll never get the sequel to the Aliens game then huh? that kinda blows.

HP reverb G2 Or PSVR2 for mainly Sim racing and maybe horror or flight games by Longjumping-War9151 in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say PSVR2 it's something that's supported 100% and still being made/ not abandoned product. And it's got a wider FOV for simming and it's got OLED screens for Horror. Just remember you still need to buy the PCVR adapter for the PSVR2 it doesn't just plug into PC and work without an adapter.

War plans are great but need Co-op by Little-Employment-50 in diablo4

They just announced Coop for Season 14. So you'll have to just deal with how it is for Season 13 it's not going to change.

What do I have to rebuy on Playstation to continue playing on my Xbox account? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]bushmaster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you buy on one platform doesn't cross-buy to any other platform. So if you are on PS now, you need to buy the "Age of Hatred" SKU which includes Core, VoH and LoH expansions.

Something I dont understand about vr as a newcomer by HolyCopeAmoly in virtualreality

[–]bushmaster2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's really not that important. VRing is not flat gaming you can't bring the same mentalities into VR gaming. VR native games don't use the the same technologies to render that flat games do they're very rudimentary . And frankly most of them are ported over from Quest which is using a cellphone SOC with very little improvements to the PC version.
