Should I buy? VR user

[HankDG]

Hello everyone, I've been keeping an eye on this game for over a year now. (WHY HAVEN"T I GOT IT YET???) I'm especially interested in it now with them having VR support. My question is, is it worth it? I've read that playing in VR you constantly have to be switching between VR and Flat to get some features to work, killing immersion. I'm aware this game is not Early Access anymore (Hurray!) but will/are they updating the VR aspect?

I played this once in vr and it was amazing lol. Havent really played it much after that though in vr. Gonna have to focus on a vr only playthrough. I will sub to this thread and tell you if i think its worth it for vr. I will give it a good sesion tonight in vr and hopefully able to answer some of your qustions hopefully someone else has by then though lol

Personally I found playing this game in VR to be very enjoyable (and very awesome!) so yes, I do recommend it based on my experiences. There was no switching needed, everything worked without a hiccup on my end (on the Oculus if that makes a difference).

When I first tried Subnautica in VR I was a little worried that because it plays underwater, and you're not restricted to just walking forwards/backwards/left/right, but you can go in all directions, it'd be really disorientating and that it would make me - no pun intended - seasick, but that was not the case at all.

Just be ready to experience some serious scares though. I definitely screamed a couple of times.

We have a Vive and Subnautica is amazing in VR. One thing to be aware of is you will need to understand the controls first or you will be turning your body/head to move around, which can make you very sick. The first time I tried it in VR it made me so sick I had to lie down for 2 hours. Then I played it in flat mode, learned the controls, went back to VR and had a great time. Subnautica is extremely immersive in VR, which can be good or bad (getting grabbed by a Reaper in VR is horrific). It's more of a seated VR experience, it's not that useful in room scale because you're usually moving pretty far in comparison to the room size.

So overall I recommend it, just make sure you know the controls and have them mapped well so you're not trying to constantly turn your head/body.

I have a Rift and this game is amazing in VR. It seems like the best way to play it really.

I have the vive and i honestly didnt like this title on it. On the monitor with keyboard/mouse was great but I had many issues using the vive controllers or just keyboard/mouse in VR.

I loved this in VR, the only issue i had was the HUD opens so close to your face it makes my eyes strain trying to focus on it.

I have vive. My third favorite VR game. The only time you need to go to flatscreen is to punch in key codes....like three doors. Some other things are awkward but there are workarounds on the message board.

The VR version of Subnautica isn't made to support the Vive controllers. The game picks it up as a Xbox controller and the controller for the Vive has less buttons than an Xbox controller.

This is a great game in VR but cant be played with motion controller (They go gamepag mode and theres not enough buttons) so gamepad is best... still theres some performance issues in buildings but overall its a good experience that could be much better
