is it Worth it (even on sale?)

[Terranigma]

So I been kinda eye balling the idea of buying this... I have heard some nightmare stories about it and have sat on the bench... I really enjoy the fallout series played em all and was curious if this is worth it at all even if its on sale?
i see mods are mostly needed to make it playable
if so which ones are a must to make the game enjoyable?

[Lecuistot]

...yes , one of the best VR game

...But my experience is with 2080ti and Vive wands.

I say buy it and first thing is find what controls work best for you. The ones that come pre loaded are a nightmare(for index controllers anyway). After you get that working it will blow you away. Keep in mind that when you are in the bunker at the start the graphics are choppy but when you get into the open world that goes away. It is always choppy in bunkers or the institute(for me anyway).

I don't think so. Still the most played game in my library of hundreds.

[SuperCrumpets]

"huh im working with a Oculus Rift S..."

Where should I have found out this info before sending my reply?

an unreserved yes. I reached 110 hours of playtime today. I am on my second playthrough with mods, including Sim Settlements 2 and Tales of the Commonwealth.

This is definitely worth it once you go through the effort of applying the right tweaks.

Honestly, what else are you gonna play in VR? Alyx only goes so far. Elite Dangerous is cool, but that's about it. Everything else is like 3 to 6 hours TOPS before you get super bored.

[SuperCrumpets]

openmw vr :P

This is what I was thinking, if this is supposedly so bad then what should I play instead? I've been on the fence for 2 years on this one due to the negativity. I'm awful with mods but I think I'll get it now.

Instead of that, get it, don't mod it yet, set it on easy, run around and have a look during Steam's 2-hour return window, form your own opinion.

[Poor Yurik]

100%, but only if modded.

1) Buy Fallout 4 VR + Fallout 4 + all Fallout 4 official DLC except for HD texture pack and creative club.

2) Get wabbajack from www.wabbajack.org. Launch it, choose Fallout VR and "Essentials Overhaul" should pop up. Click install and the guide will pop up. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE GUIDE AND FOLLOW IT TO A *T*.

3) Go to http://Nexusmods.com and buy 1 month of premium membership ($7), this will allow Wabbajack to use the API to automatically download and properly install the entire 200+ mod modlist.

4) Optional: install this mod to re-enable Steam achievements (by default disabled when the game is modded): https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28556

Congrats, you are now ready to enjoy one of the very best VR experiences.
