NMS is just better in VR not worth it in flat screen

[GAMEDRIX 🦴]

DARE YOU TO CHANGE MY MIND

1: Controls are just better and natural if you don't feel like it you probably have inferior hardware

2: Motion sickness is all about getting used to locomotion it will fix with time.

3: If you find the game ugly in VR well please spend your money better on a decent headset like the vive pro 2 which is a 5k vr headset not a streamy blocky and inferior tracking like the cheap quest 2 and 3, because everyone are rocking these headsets and are complaining about image quality and performance when they have good specs... I mean dude if you have a 4090 what the hell are you doing with a quest........?

4: If you are a real fan it's the best way of enjoying the game

5: People saying it sucks never actually tried it or don't know how to properly make it work most of the time

6: Piloting ships in VR is just far far superior, making bases is much better and intuitive also visiting amazing community bases in vr is just amazing

7: You have no reason not to play it in vr unless some severe cases.

1. can't speak on that, but having seen most VR controllers, I doubt it.

2. not everyone will be capable of "getting over it"

3. that thing costs nearly $2000 for the full kit, gonna need a 90% discount before it's even close to being worth the money

4. I enjoy the game just fine as is.

5. if there's any need to fiddle with things, or as far as motion controls go, constantly reset their orientation, yea, it sucks(no I've never used that set, and at that price tag, never will, but motion controls are notoriously unreliable)

6. can't speak for that, thought about trying a set in elite dangerous at one point, but there were far too many controls for any controller to handle, and not being able to see the keyboard, meh...

7. VR's price tags are a huge reason to not play in VR, a perfectly serviceable monitor costs $60-$100, a cheap VR set(you know the crappy 480p ones) is looking at $250+

Most people can't afford getting a headset and a PC powerful enough to run it...

Why on Earth would I want to change your mind? You like VR. Groovy. Enjoy.

Can you tell me how to make the Galaxy map properly work then? I've made several threads about it, but no one seems to care about those problems or don't want to tell me how to fix it.
My problems with the galaxy map are:
1. The Galaxy map doesn't show the centre of the galaxy, there's no big light to go towards.
2. Movement in Galaxy map is really slow. A button to move fast would be great, Like in Google Earth VR.
3. Turning around in Galaxy map requires you to select a system first and then you can turn around from that systems axis.
It would be better if you can turn around without selecting a system first, like using grip, as in Google Earth VR.
4. Selecting a system in Galaxy map doesn't show how many planets there are in that system.

Nr.2 is the point that makes it really frustrating. If I can travel around 3000ly, or what ever, it takes forever to get to those lenghts.
So tell me, how do I make it not suck?

i have played both vr and desktop, both are fun but i prefer desktop, its a lot easier to just sit down and play in desktop but i understand liking vr more if you're in it for the immersion

1st- I can confirm the big light wont show but you can go to the center nonetheless you can choose to pinpoint the galaxy center or doing it manually

2nd - There's a button to go faster and it goes the same speed in vr and in desktop with my vive wands it's right grip + left trigger.

3rd - Nope you can choose to move freely by pressing the corresponding button and then turning around is grip plus moving the other controller.

4- Well that's weird, that doesn't occur for me which headset you on?

The only reason I play on flatscreen is when I'm tired but there's no other reasons.

The whole topic is wrong.
We don't need or want to change your mind, if you can only enjoy the game in VR, that's alright.
Suggesting that non VR mode is worthless for everyone is just ludicrous.

[Darth Cervantes]

Wait, HOLD UP
VR is more immersive than a flat screen? That is awesome. I would never have guessed

Back again, huh? And still banging the same, tired, old drum

I have the best reason ever not to play in VR. I don't want to.
But you carry on, don't mind me.

I don't like VR. What if my garage catches fire? Or the neighbor lady falls and breaks her hip and screams out and I can't hear her? Or someone breaks into my house and steals my TV while I'm blissfully unaware of anything going on around me? Or the people from Publisher's Clearinghouse knock on my door with a giant check and a TV crew? Or I get a candy-gram?

I like to be aware of what's going on around me, both inside and outside my house.

Besides, your very first point, in the title, ("not worth it") is refuted by 1,100 hours of gameplay so far, for a cash outlay of $50. That's 4 and a half pennies an hour.

I'd say it's worth four pennies for an hour of play.

How much more would I pay for a VR rig? And a new TV and a rebuilt garage because mine got respectively stolen and burned down while I was immersed in a VR bubble?

You can play seated.

We don't have full dive.

You have higher chance of missing things when you're in flatscreen mode, with headphones on your head. Pico and Oculus leave your ears open so you hear what's around you just fine. You also can tap twice on the right side of your headset to activate passthrough and see what's going on.

You need about $25 for Virtual Desktop and then either Pico or Oculus headset. The reason you need Virtual Desktop is because NMS absolutely WILL run at less than maximum framerate in many cases, and gameplay with skipped frames is only comfortable with pico streaming or virtual desktop.

I believe you, just have not made the jump into VR. This game screams VR at me though.

What if I play "in flat screen mode" without headphones? I'm pretty sure I don't have to tap the side of my head twice to see what's going on around me.
