Hello, niggers. What are some good VR shooters out there you can recommend to me? I haven't played many yet. Here are the ones i did:


  1. HL2 VR - amazing vr mod.
  2. HL Alyx - doesn't need an introduction.
  3. Hard Bullet - nice time waster, makes you feel like you're in Hard Boiled type of action. But no campaign, you just shoot shit in arenas.
  4. Doom 3 VR. There are actually 3 versions of this shit or even 4 (if you count Doom 3 PSVR). Like wtf? I use sidequest version due to other two available on pc being dated as fuck. Tried fully posessed, but it doesn't load the second map so i just deleted it. A bit primitive, but fun horror shooter. Biggest problem is it's not pcvr, you just need Doom3 files copied to the helmet and this is why it looks like low res turd compared to Fully Posessed.
  5. Dead Effect 2 VR - primitive, but enjoyable shovelware. It has story campaign and you can sexually harass a blond cutie npc.


I have Boneworks and Into The Radius, but i don't know when i get to them. Boneworks seems like a puzzler with shooting while Radius is a Stalker like game for VR.
Have plans for RE4 VR which i will pirate sometime later and maybe RE7 and RE2 remake in VR since i have both on steam.

Paradox of Hope and Blood Trail both look interesting but they need more time in the oven.

Dont care about multiplayer shite like Pavlov or similar. Only singleplayer.

If you don't care about multi, it's harder to recommend Onward. The single player experience is there, and I use it because it's a lot of fun, but it's bare bones to say the least. No story beyond a splash screen detailing the current mission.

But in terms of shooters it's one of the best gameplay wise, in my opinion. The AI uses squad tactics relatively well, you have a large variety of tools to choose from, the maps that it comes with are solid and there are plenty of downloadable ones. When posted in a building under good cover you will want to keep an eye out because they will surround the building and try to ambush you inside when your back is turned. Good stuff all around.

I gave Warhammer: Battle Sister a try despite the critics because why not? It's Warhammer in VR. It's about what you expect from an average VR game. Good, but does nothing well enough to note. But if you like the setting it will be enjoyable on that basis alone.

Got Battle Sister (despite wahmen protag) earlier today, it was dirt cheap and warhammer bundle on steam gave even bigger discount for it.

There should be to be more W40k VR games in general. Wish there was an imperial guardsman WH game.

There's one more Warhammer VR title atm, a more melee combat oriented one. Forget the name but you may have gotten it with the bundle. Generally better liked.

Seems like (or im hoping that) these are essentially test builds for a more complete Warhammer VR experience.

Tempestfall? I have that one too. Not that impressive tbh, they should have spent more time developing it. But not a shovelware either and with good visuals. You can grab an undead by the head and slam it against the floor which is kinda badass actually. But spells are kinda bitch to use when you're in the middle of action, not very good and intuitive controls and takes time to get used to.

Overall there are far better melee games, even though this one has campaign mode which makes it worth trying at least.

This is the kind of stuff that really makes VR special. If you aren't adding loads of this sort of interactivity there's little reason for the VR platform in the first place.

If i'm a space marine, I should be strong enough to throw enemies of average weight. Into other enemies and ragdoll them both. Would never get tired of that sort of thing.

Ok, tried Battle Sister today and this game nails everything so far. This is the type of vr shooter i want to see more. It looks nice, not that impressive but not like the shovelware shit i see in heaps on steam either. The action is awesome and makes you feel really immersed in it as you repel waves of chaos degenerates left and right. I especially love the sword\bolter combo, but dual bolters are sick too. The atmosphere of 40k setting is well done, but i judge from the perspective of someone who only read a bunch of 40k wiki articles and played a few 40k games. No problem with controls so far, other than accidently teleporting with right stick from time to time.

My initial impressions at least, maybe this game will have some legit issues as you progress further.


upd.
The game definitely has a lot more issues than i thought initially. If you buy it cheap then ok, but it's hard to recommend and riddled with bugs and other problems. Devs need to work on it more, but i don't think they will update it anymore. A damn shame because potential is there.
