Why does this never go on sale?

[Sininside]

In your words, is it worth it and why? Will it even run on my older system?

Meta Quest 2 (Wireless)
CPU: 6600K (4 core)
GPU: GTX 1080 (still a beast imo)
16 GB DDR4 Memory
M.2 Ultra High Speed Storage

Why? Cuz it’s worth double the sales price as is… man have you bought a VR game lately? You may not be old enough but it reminds me of the early Atari days when you had to go thru a dozen titles to find one half decent game. The issue isn’t with VTOL, it’s with the next 11 games that charge $29.99 and absolutely suck.. your wallet and at being a game.

It's the top 4 overwhelmingly positive rated VR-exclusive game on Steam.

With the current price of VR equipment it is safe to assume you have a VR setup that is a 1000 bucks minimum (PC + headset) and you come here complaining to a single developer indie VR game that it is too expensive ?

Despite VTOL VR being one of the top rated VR games on steam of all time ?

[Sininside]

Yes I do have a $1000+ PC. And yes I know I sound cheap. But it is because most VR games suck. I had no idea this one was that good. I guess I should have asked the question differently now I think about it.

Thanks for the feedback. Now I know it is worth it, I'll likely purchase it next. Any more feedback is still welcome though. I'm heading over to the reviews.

The game is essentially a combat flight sim sandbox in VR with fully working, though simplified cockpits. It is not a gimmick game with no depth.

However, it IS a flight sim sandbox, and you will get the most out of it if you are familiar with flight sims. This is not ace combat. You will not instantly pick it up and be shooting things down left and right.

If you pick it up, join the VTOL VR discord channel, find the flight school sub-channel, and check the pinned messages for flight manuals. Those'll get you up to speed.

It has been a couple times just in the past month or so. It was on sale for ~25% off on both Steam and the Humble Store. I don't think it's been lower than 33% off ever, but it's still in active development.

[Gryphon]

It's worth twice as much as the dev is asking. Average flat screen PC game prices are around what? $60? I've gotten well over $30 worth of fun with VTOL over the past year.

Oh, and be sure to read up on the requirements and limitations before you buy.

The first thing out of someone's mouth about this game is usually, "it sucks that I can't use my physical HOTAS with it," or "no HOTAS, no buy". It plays very well with the VR controllers, but again, just so you know, it will not support physical HOTAS out of the box (there are 3rd party mods, but the mods tend to break when the game is updated).

You need at least an M.3 to play this.

But yeah, the bundle looks sweet. I'll probably pick that up.

[Sininside]

Not gonna lie... my first few flights were so dang fun! The Vtol stuff was my biggest weakness. Hovering to the different way points was tricky. But I'll get it. I didn't even bother to learn the weapon's system yet. But best of all, I didn't really get motion sickness from this!

That's a sweet Humble Bundle but to hell with those charities.

You can put all the charity to one or the other, or set the charity to zero just to make a point, if you want. Of course, you still have to pay for the bundle, so the devs will be getting the money instead.

To be fair, in most humble bundles, you can choose the charity you want out of a list of many thousands. Just a few of them have preset ones.
