Is Arizona Sunshine 2 more fun than the first one?

[Maximum James]

I played #1 and back then i was just happy to have any FPS at all in vr and the fact that it had levels and a bit of a story was great.
So arizona sunshine did that and it was solid but that was even before teleportation was finally thrown in the incinerator (if you are handicapped with motion sickness or if you cqn somehow make teleportation fun like in vertigo 2 then by all means use it though).
Even back then i was thinking well this is fine for now, but i am sure something better will come along.

Now i have played vertigo 1 and thank god for #2, into the radius, half-life alyx, walking dead, amid evil vr, boneworks and, i guess, bonelabs, half-life 2 vr, doom 3 vr, brutal doom vr, etc.

Some of those are mods but they were all really fun in vr and i played through them all, again for some of them.

So is this game arizona sunshine 2 or vr-fpshooters part 2? My major concern is how fast and exhilerating is the gameplay? Even the first one seemed slow and awkward dealing with a lineup of zombies from a horde after walking through long boring sections of a level and then after that was the snowy zombie game which was good but only for a few days.

I fell dubious about this so far, but if its good and fun for at least 5 hours then great!

Much the same as the first one, but zombies are much better, and I'm enjoying the game more.

Note that I'm using the Index with a RTX 3090, and the experience may not be the same no matter the hmd you use.

The Steam version only supports SteamVR drivers.

All I have is a puny RTX 3070 Ti.

I spent my latest paycheck on Boomer Shooters for a change. I recently played Project Doom 3.0 and was so impressed at how great it was that I immediately tried to figure out how to play it in VR, but you can't, and I already did a bunch of Brutal Doom in VR.

But I found Boltgun and Prodeus, and also remembered I bought Cutlic and Dusk, and wow are those games ever fun once you start playing them, and I had a great day off just sitting down and staring at my monitor like the old days when I could barely move my body. Of course if they were in VR so you actually had to aim, duck, and dodge until you start screaming like a woman showing her neighbours how great the sex is, except you are being sincere, then so much the better.

If only someone would make more VR games like that, but so far, all I have Amid Evil VR and Serious Sam and Serious Sam is technically really good but I have a severe prejudice against it's overall aesthetic. I tried the Risk of Rain 2 but that is the first time VR gave me a headache trying to discern what everything was.

I even saw some GZdoom releases coming out on Steam that actually look awesome, and so much fun, so I really hope a VR version of GZDoom comes out that maybe can handle those games or at least make VR versions easy enough to attempt.

OK, but what makes it better? AS1 was just a repeated arena shooter - not even Gorn with guns. It reminds me of those proof-of-concept demos that Oculus was making in 2014. You just barely teleport around a small room-sized level endlessly shooting badly textured zombies with poorly calibrated weapons.

Its visually superior to AS1. That is it. Gameplay is much the same. If you enjoyed the first game then I imagine you will enjoy this one but if you expect next level improvements over the first one you will be disappointed. Oh and there is a dog which is handy. He can fetch loot, attack zeds and carry extra weapons. (that's for you dorohn)

Thank you so much. Finally an actual answer. Looks like it may be worth with a big discount, but otherwise can't compete with better games like Boneworks and Contractors.

Why is cardage banned?

He's a bit negative, and i dont know why you would compare this to gorn but boneworks is infintely superior to arizona sunshine 1, even bonelabs although a bit of a disapointment in terms of being a completed game, has incredible mechanics. If arizona sunshine 2 is mostly similar to the 1st one except for some graphical improvements and a dog, then i kind of agree overall, except for the shoot first and seek truth after kind of mentality which i actively try to resist.

The first game somtimes had a tedious feel to it which i never got from another vr shooter except maybe alyx when you are searching for ammo ( i consider that game good, but grossly overrated). I will get this game for the vr and i might be surprised at how much fun it is, but i i have been trained to expect otherwise.

Could be due to some other and older comments, Steam Support takes time to respond, I doubt his most recent posts are the reason.

That dude's been harassing other people in other threads, so they probably got him for that lol.
