Maybe gamers are getting older in general and realizing they don't have the time to dedicate to intensive games that are like taking on a 2nd job and studying for college.
I prefer games now where I can do the grindy stuff mainly AFK and do the challenging stuff solo in short bursts. No more 2-3 hr clan raids and shit like that anymore. Hell, sometimes I just start up MAME and set some classic arcade scroller to god mode because I just want to blow stuff up for a few minutes.
Same. I’ve found my spark again in VR gaming and generally go to the arcade style more! Ain’t nobody got time for a 10 tier skill tree
I'll be picking up VR soon. Do you have any recommendations?
Beat Saber is still my fav. Modded to have custom tracks. It can be good for a little cardio. Just make sure you have your headset sweat cover on!
Yes! Beatsabre is one of my other top VR titles I have wishlisted. Thanks for the recommend!
Depends what you like. I've been enjoying Space Pirate Trainer and Gun Club VR. Single player FPS types where you shoot down waves of attackers. Hands down favorite, though, is Half-Life: Alyx. Great story, very immersive, and the use of VR is top notch.
Y'all should both try Pistol Whip, it's fantastic
Nice, thanks! Honestly I enjoy every genre of game except sports titles so your clrecommendations are solid! Half Life: Alyx has been on my wishlist since VR released on Steam and I fully intend on picking it up day one and it being my first VR game. Appreciate the other recommends!
