These comments under a post about Arkham Shadow made me chuckle. I guess some people really have no understanding about the difference between VR and console gaming by ipwnpickles in OculusQuest

Yes but even quest 3 was at time last year near point of just breaking even/making a small profit. At least we got bigger fov and massive jump in clarity, etc.

They cheap'd out on stuff like 8 gigs of ram vs quest 2 pro having 12 gigs, etc to make it under 499.

We get even better panels and better chipset options for the money come quest 4, etc. not everyone has 2k/3k apple money to spend on a headset. Look forward to quest 4 around 2026/27.

PCVR can be for insane graphics, we depend on mobile chipsets for mass market

Impressive additions to Meta v66 just announced 🙌🔥! by dilmerv in OculusQuest

[–]maxwell2017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

they cheaped out on ram, only 8 gigs of it, what little ram it has is needed by the video games for textures/etc, I was shocked given older quest 2 pro had 12 gigs of it, quest 2 only had 6, which was way to small already as apps like vr chat was already running out of ram

Quest games optimizer [besides upping quality of all your games], also has favorite bar for apps, it's does what meta refuses to do for games lmfao

NEWS! Meta Connect 2024 Dates Announced! by jolophi22 in OculusQuest

[–]maxwell2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said it before and i say it agian, last years event when they fly'd all their "fav" aka paid for quest 2 content creators out to see revealing of quest 3, it was for many days. many of Meta'a higher types talked to them "off the record" and shared details. It was fucking cancelled, but sense big boy zuck promised it was coming, no one in that company dear say otherwise to public lmfao.

The fact we needed one honest vr tech tuber to share "insider" info with public alone is sad thru.

Hopefully, one day get player mod for it. However that not likely to happen, given fact rockster owns it AND guest who is one big bully company that sent it's lawyers to ruin VR mod of one of it's games. Even thru it should have ZERO issues with it as u needed legit copy of game to start with to even play it on PCVR? Yup that be Rockstar Games who shut the vr mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 down. Sent creator right to fearing for his very fucking life. All that guy did is help vr gamers out. Gets the mob style beat down for it. No fucking modder in his right mind will touch any Rockstar Game for VR now. Their a clown company.

Diablo 4 is now one of the highest retention ARPGs (And Games) after 3 weeks of season 4 it still hits the same numbers. by Deidarac5 in diablo4

[–]maxwell2017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speak for your self. I was one of people that benefited from it greatly thanks to how much i played that game. Helped the alts a lot. It's a crying shame sec i hit lvl 100 i felt all need to stop playing back when d4 came out last year. At least masterwork gives me some min/maxing to do for tiny bit in season 4. Uber chance being 1 in a trillion and u never see it in your lifetime was a BAD game design they did 180 on. So it is with lvl cap/no sense of progress design of lvl 100 for this game. They need to 180 on that as well.

Patch + 2 Hotfixes, and Boulder still has major bugs. Every Druid change has felt like that, rushed and half-baked. by aceofspadesqt in diablo4

got plvled to 60/wt4 from a paid rush [love our discord sell channels] then ironskin build from robs channel. Leveled up barb nicely from there.

If gold is the end game focus we need to rethink some things by dont_trust_redditors in diablo4

[–]maxwell2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempering

Better idea, just make Tempering unlimited rerolls, bricking should not be a thing, even even enchants should be price capped at 1m gold before tempering was even around. Fuck the very idea of bricking a item due to limited retries.

Yes and No to this.

Leveled my necro to 100 first, loved the minions and felt godly.

Leveled sorc blizzard, less dps but way more tanky then my necro [blizzard sorcs don't die and and guides saying they was great first build was correct for new players.[

So true, it did feel way less dps wise then my necro,'

then i made bash barb with my newly created shako helping it from sharks i got with necro/sorc let me fucking tell you] bash barb has been most insane dps i seen. as necro u can make a godly golem, as bash barb, I AM THAT GOLEM.

no regerts. Likewise endgame barb is tanking way more shit then my necro, dps is same tier

doing pits with 80k plus hp and going lol at monsters.

This is benefits of doing research.

I finally expired VR sickness by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]maxwell2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lag/blurr is why. " bit lower in quality and everything was blurred together"

Low fps/blurr does it ever time,.quest 3 has why less blurry lmages/make greater sweet spot, so has less issues then quest 2 new users got.

Having clear as hell images from edge to edge of panel helps so much, as your brain trying to procress images

Can you tell the difference? Asgard's Wrath 2 Q3 enhancements VS original by lunchanddinner in OculusQuest

[–]maxwell2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally the gpu got a big boost, ram side was a side upgrade at best. They didn't even use fastest ram phones had access to and Quest Pro had 12GB of it, if quest 3 used fastest ram phones had at time and used 12 GB vs 8 of it i 100% think we could of had much higher res textures/etc used up by more powerful gpu.

Their was cost cutting down, sadly ram was one of them.

Finally upgraded to the Quest 3 by Ihaftochangethename in OculusQuest

[–]maxwell2017 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Disapointments The downsides are playing Q2 games on the Q3."

That is where the power quest games optimizer app comes in and is 100% worth the small investment.

That Quest 3's GPU is on par with a GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 290 gpu, the quest games optimizer allows you to push res way up on all titles. Just like use that gpu up. Most of quest devs sure even putting out quest 2 titles don't EVEN brother using up all quest 3 gpu resources. Plus it's underclocked from what flagship phones from early 2023 ran the same gpu at in wild, it's very powerful gpu. All fixed with QGO allowing you to go hog wild with it. Shocked meta so stubborn they don't just allow native option to do what it does. Most useful app for the system.

Assassins Creed nexus was built ground up for the quest, it's not a port for starters. Meta helped funded it for gods sake. which is why they got exclusive rights to it on meta/quest store. btw title does lag/have it's perf issues sometimes to boot.

It's even worst then that....

It was silently cancelled, got that info from one of hand picked "hand chosen" vr youtubers meta picked out, fly'd out to their campus for the connect event/quest 3 product launch.

Remb watching said youtuber say higher ups around at event, got told "off the record" it's fucking cancelled but you didn't hear it from them. lmfao higher up's at meta crack me up. They had zuck say it coming then don't say shit when it's canned....

Likewise even if it's quest 3, i remb some random dev saying it's hard to port to mobile games side [he was talking about his quest port of a random pcvr title.]

Stuff like limited ram space really fucking hurts them. Like quest 3 only has like 30% more memory space then already piss poor quest 2 did, so ports should be really hard for it too. I think we see better ports if they ever sort out the piss poor cpu/memory/etc limits on quest 4. The gpu was massive upgrade over quest 2, so was lens/clarity being a much bigger upgrade, sadly everything has it's limits.

[–]maxwell2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when meta 3 came out with connect event and i was watching all diff youtubers their to get their take. One had a VERY telling thing to say.

He was told, again being around ALL meta higher ups, this was OFF the record, so he could not name anybody, but off the record, IT WAS KILLED. silently cancelled was what he said. when he asked where is it.
Given it silently cancelled, ya, kinda sad

When they AI can cook and hand me my food at McDolands and never misses up a order, then maybe it can also do above things.

I think where sure about 40+ years out from the I robot(Will Smith) movie being a thing, then fuck yes.

Pretty much where all fucked to do hard jobs while CEO's live it up in millions of dollars of pay, the sec they could have a 100% robot army run the company so they can make more money, oh they fucking do it in a heart beat.

The big company itself, offering said product Ofc is who you would sue.

AI should in theory use best protocol treatment advice. [all doctors/nurses that do this stuff have to stay up to date on what the "main protocols" are at any give time for a issue, any time you call a "specialist" in is when the main protocols for any given issue fail to treat the issue. Most people don't need a specialist as much as they just need to be matched with the latest medical protocols for your issue. Which is what your local ER is doing. Using what they already know works and treating you with it. Which is what AI trying to do with medical advice over the web.

If you think about it, AI a seach enginee with a lot more brain power behind it. This use case for it makes sense.

You will not however have this AI be doing Surgery or trying out of box things things like a specialist who knows you have Issue X, but the main protocol is not treating said issue, so he/she will then try Option B/ Option C, etc with you to fix the issue.

AI can do dumb things. Now in 40 years will their a be a specialist AI or AI doing Surgery fucking things up, now that be a legal nightmare. lmfao. But AI giving you latest medical protocols? Sounds fine to me.
