Borderlands 2 VR is the best VR title
Between Steam and Oculus I have over 55 VR titles including new Oculus titles Asgards Wrath and Stormland. I believe that BL2 VR is the best, most complete game in VR. Just finished first playthrough, 62 glorious hours. Now playing in true vaulthunter mode.
Removing black outlines and crosshair, using aim to keep bullet spread tight and the gameplay is awesome.
Gunplay, story, sights and scope. Game has it all, an EPIC VR experience.
Can only hope for BL3 VR...

Using RIFT S

Yes i think so too because i like the story based gun play
Second in the list Subnautica and Skyrim
I also remove the outline and the window scope
Also have remove dynamic shadows and bloom
And enable dynamic lights with 1.8 SS in oculus tray tool

It's a lot more fun that I thought it would be from the reviews that's for sure. I find the fighting much more enjoyable in VR than I did in the flat version.

Why are you doing the same post you already did ,this game sucks right now .. no amount of bumping is gonna change this fact .

It needs patching or its gonna fad away ...as the too complicated for them in the first place ..

bone works 3000 + positive reviews only a mere week from release ,,didnt need to fudge it for the fanboys

Um, "sucks" is overstating it a bit. A lot, actually. And I think you're a bit confused, since no one has posted twice in this thread yet, so "doing the same post" is not something anyone has done.

Right now the only thing I'm really having trouble with is scopes, and arguably that's my issue rather than the game's issue. My sight picture shakes like mad because I can't hold the controller sufficiently steady with a single hand.

Arguably, VR games with scopes should probably incorporate the equivalent of optical stabilization. BL2 VR convinced me to buy a gun stock, which hopefully between the shoulder rest and two handed grip will improve my stability significantly.

Maybe there's something to it being a game issue. If I straight arm my camera with a 200mm lens, which is roughly 6x magnification for a crop camera, and I turn of image stabilization, the image shakes a fair bit, but not nearly as much as a 6x scope in BL2 VR.

you are new to the party .

it sucks for having 2d based control system that they cant be bothered to patch ,so it does not play like the other 1000 + titles that know how to do a vr game right .

just fanboys getting wet over the graphics right now ..No serious players .bump

Um, OK. You don't like the game, and therefore anyone else's enjoyment is invalid. Sure.

Thats a flat view from an uneducated voice ,never said i dont like it (i may not) iam saying its configured to run on 2d based control system that is not VR bias ,simply you gotta GOTTA play it like your drunk ,sure it looks like borderlands ,and hay maybe they thought making it hmd directional movement based just like pancake version would use, may bring something new ,but no its not ,and never will be the way to do it

you may like this but with the whole back catalogue of VR games spare a few counted on one hand that are not using controller based movement with free movement of HMD not bound to controller

when you figured out what your talking about please reply ,untill then well ,go enjoy your self

You simply enjoy it because of its franchise, but the game itself is a very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port . If you think this kind of quality is great you just have extreme low standards.

+1, but only beats Fallout 4 VR because that doesn't run at 90 FPS for me, and this does, and glorious is right. I hear the rebuttals about the 2D menus, but another backpack mechanic doesn't interest me. Immersive inventory management doesn't make or break a shooter for me, the shooting does.

I reject the notion there are 1000 games doing VR right, there's maybe that many tech demos. I noticed none of the detractors named a better game.

Here's the 2018 GOTY and runner ups from UploadVR, and their shortcomings:
Beat Saber (a derivative rhythm game that would be nothing without decades of licensed hit music.)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR (PC) (another great long game, even with 2D legacy menus)
The Exorcist: Legion VR (It's short, maybe it's great, vr does horror better than any other medium does horror)
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice VR (2 hours for $30 with no tracked motion controller support. Must be awesome to overcome that baggage and make this list).
Moss (5 hours for $30, third person perspective misses the whole point of VR, just make it flat).
Transpose (4 hours short, again. 2018 was a dry year, absent AAA titles, for this short puzzler to make the list)
