It's actually quite relaxing looking around the whole map while parachuting from high altitude, that's like a whole VR game itself.

[@dapenn2002]

i gotta give props to one of the OG VRBR, Stand out was a great game but it truly felt more PUBG then anything else. Contractors showdown is the eptiomy of warzone in vr and ive never felt more alive playing a VRFPS.

[@Verociity]

That game was ahead of it's time, literally, my Rift CV1 resolution was too low for me to spot people in the distance which took up 1 pixel 💀

seriously Stand Out was fantastic when people still played it and the devs gave a shit

[@numimio]

Played solo the other day because I'm too scared to speak with strangers. Got second place with 8 kills and learned that shotguns in this game are lethal from rather impressive ranges!

[@grodcoyote6635]

Real life shotguns, especially with slugs, are pretty impressive with the range, there's a reason they are used for hunting.

[@Verociity]

Is that why so many people don't talk back? Everyone was way talkative during the open betas.

[@some-replies]

Yo me too! Been over a year since I've even spoken in multiplayer games. Try playing with folks and after a few minutes I'm just tired of interacting with them.

[@bombomos]

Buckshot which is what all video games shotguns use is lethal up to but not limited to 40 yards. Just depends on where you hit them

[@shmoga]

@@Verociity people who played the beta arent your common gamers. they took the extra steps to play the game early, so they are gonna want to use its features. most people that dont talk, one day start talking and inevitably say "haha i remember when i first played and never talked to anyone" youll have WAY more fun playing as a squad who communicates rather then playing a third wheel to random team mates.

[@QuirkyView]

I just had a cool thought someone could totally do. Train an AI using full body tracking data to fill in the blanks from only having a controller and headset to make people's bodies look like they're moving normally in VR.

[@helplmchoking]

I think Meta is working on that? I'm sure I saw something about that not too long ago

[@myles5388]

Yeah I saw a demo of them working on that exact thing, I’m pretty sure it’s implemented in some places like when your using your avatar in the meta hub thing

[@Rob3rtox]

standable does that somewhat, not using AI, but will soon be able to fill in the gaps with the 2.0 currently being patreon only. The 1.0 avaiable on steam is also decent allowing you to have something similar to FBT, been using it on VRC

[@sleeplesss1]

Not having the atomic mirror brains in the middle of the video (or at all) 100% helps with the flow of the video

[@jamesbaka1206]

I personally prefer Breachers over contractors. Something about contractors movement feels clunky and gives me motion sickness and I like the way guns handle much better in breachers. Do you think if I try showdown the experience will be any better? I just don’t really like the way the regular contractors handles. Idk if it’s the frame rate or what. Just feels clunky and nauseating.

[@michaelsanders7484]

@@jamesbaka1206 if you didn’t like the original you probably won’t like showdown because I doubt their going to change anything with their guns. I actually hadn’t heard of breachers until you said it, did a quick KZbin of it and it definitely looks WAY smoother with movement, but the gunplay…. Dude haha most of the guns it looks like to reload all you need to do is take out the magazine and insert a new one without needing to chamber a round first, or pull the charging handle. its little details like that for me as a vet, that are huge turn offs. In any case, i think Showdown should be fun and probably the premiere battle royale in VR for some time so you should get it too :)

I really like your channel. I found it some time ago, maybe one year? I saw your video about Surv1v3, i guess. I downloaded it and it's an awesome game! I truly recommend! I also enjoy the way you talk along your videos, which makes things much more interesting, i don't know why. Maybe because you pass confidence and your talking is not robotic like most of the youtubers. You always seems like you really liked the games you played. I bough my Quest 2 11 months ago and you have been one of the guides of which games to play, how to search things and so on. I really wish more people did that, to gain real likes and just make a video with no depth just to make some likes.
