Does this game ever go on sale this low?

[GunnerNick]

I am thinking of getting an HTC Vive and this would be the game I would get no matter what. I see that it is on sale right now but I don't have a vive yet. Does this game go on sale this low a lot? I have never seen it as low as it is. If yes then I will just wait until I actually get an HTC Vive.

[Optimistic]

This is the lowest its been, the sales normally fluctuate between $30-$40 every month or two.

Heres a graph. [www.steamprices.com]

You should buy it now. Very good price for this game. I playing it on a RIFT S with around 60 mods - and it is amazing. Best Skyrim ever.

How is the Rift? I am thinking of buying an HTC Vive but the Rift is cheaper. Is it just as good? Can I stand and do all the motions with it? And do a lot of games support it? I also bought Fallout 4 VR while on sale. Does that work if you own it?

should buy noe

I bought the Rift S when it was released in Germany (2 month ago). This was my first VR headset and i loved it. Much better than i thought. Very easy to install - plug and play - and the Rift S uses inside-out tracking and this works perfect. My PC have an GTX 1080 and Skyrim looks very good (but you need a lot of textures mods). These guides are very helpfull:

I played Skyrim with the Touch controllers and they are perfect. Shooting with the bow like Legolas in Lord of the Rings^^
Mage is also cool when you can cast your magic, only melee fight is bad in Skyrim VR.

For me is the Rift S very good, but i can´t say anything about the HTC Vive, I never use it.

i tried Fallout 4 also in VR, but only a few hours - it´s cool but i like Skyrim VR much more (over 100 hours playtime now).

i'v never seen a game this talked about

[Azphyre]

Buy it.

[Old Slime]

its already been on sale like this 3 times since i got my vive, and its better than fallout 4 vr

[Wrothbog]

yeah don't waste money on fallout 4 vr, especially on rift. fallout4vr should only ever be bought at 75% or higher discount given how many features it has stripped out and still demands full retail

skyrimvr is worth it's pricetag, but cheaper is clearly better

[PeaceMaker]

Wow £13.19 !! I got mine on sale at £20. That low is a bargain even if you`ve bought Skyrim before. And no, i`ve never seen it that low.

If FO4VR goes that low I`ll defo buy it. Pity it comes with no DLCs.

As for the HMDs. I had the Vive. Was VERY disappointed. It was like being in a short-sighted dream and upping the SS only made it slightly better (at a cost of performance). I got the Rift S and it is SO much better. The Vive is 2 years old gen now. Get the Rift S.

EDIT: Just checked FO4VR that is now down to £10!! even cheaper than Skyrim. this is a must buy for me, though I won`t play it until i`m done with Skyrim. Will give me plenty of time to research mods for it as I know it`s a buggy mess.

Buy it now, and i play it on the CV1 and the PSVR, so no matter the VR hardware, this game is awesome in VR.

So you didn't like the Vive? What problems did you have with it and why should I get a Rift S over it?

Isn't motion tracking better on the Vive and I heard the Vive was better for room scale. I prefer to play VR standing up, I don't see a point in sitting.

Alright my honest opinion.

Rift S:

Advantages :
1. Lighter on the head and in hands, Can use for longer.
2. No sattelites as it uses `inside-out` tracking which is really quite nice and convenient. Works better than you`d think.
3. The controllers are easier to hold. Lighter.
4. The rays are gone.
5. bigger `sweet spot`.
6. Easy to use with specs.
7. The increased Resolution -The main win for me.

Disadvantages:
1. The hmd and controllers feel less well constructed, not as hard wearing. I worry about hitting anything with a controller by accident.
2. The `in-out` tracking can lose tracking in very bright sunlight and when it get very dark. It can also go a little squirrelly if you put your hands behind your back for too long.
3. Sound is crap. i use my own headphones.
4. Software PD adjustment.
5. Can be annoying to set up each session right now. I have to swap USBs until it `takes`. But they`re still pushing software updates which solved a lot of previous issues.

Vive (not Pro).

Advantages of the Vive:

1. Much sturdier feel to hmd and controllers. I actually hit the wall hard with a controller and it shook it off, no problem!
2. Satellites guarantee almost no tracking issues. Also will work in complete darkness.
3. Manual PD adjustment.
4. Once set up, it won`t need resetting up until you move.



Disadvantages:
1. Resolution is much lower (old gen VR now). I would not advise it today. Most important issue for me.
2. You have to set up satellites, can be a hassle with wires about and needing sockets.
3. Controller handling felt awkward and too big for long use. HMD felt heavier.
4. Smaller sweet spot.
5. Difficult to get positioned with specs.
6, You get a light ray effect on the lenses sometimes which can be distracting.

The FOV felt the same on both to me but not measured.


But most of all it was the low res visuals of the Vive which really disappointed me compared to the rave reviews of it.. Like I said visuals mattered to me, what I can see. Perhaps it`s because I deal in graphics why it bothered me more than some.
