Is there any where that has one on demo?

Simon Gruber Says

I've had mine for just under a year and use it a lot. I'm mainly using it for Driving and Flight Sims though. I don't use room scale games very much as the area around my PC is quite limited for space (it's possible but involves moving a lot of stuff around and then putting it back).

I'd say for that price it's worth it alright but depends on what you want to play on it and how you're fixed for space. For room scale you'd want a 2x2 metre clear area.

Have a look at the VR section on Steam and see if there's anything you'd actually like to play.

As for a demo, I think there is at least one somewhere, but can't remember where.

Can you recommend a good driving sim for it please?

Assetto Corsa has the best physics and force feedback, Project Cars if you want a good career mode.

Dirt Rally is great also but hard as nails so you need to put in a lot of practice.

You really need a wheel and pedals too to benefit from Racing sims.

Simon Gruber Says

Yeah, Asetto Corsa for quality.

Project Cars for quantity.

And DIRT Rally for a big learning curve.

Also Euro Truck/American Truck simulatior are great too.

I have a Logitech G920. They often go on sale for about 150. Paired with VR, you can never go back to a monitor.

Aerofly FS2 is the best VR flight sim however, X Plane 11 reportedly has native VR support in the pipeline.

Shadow of mordor for €3 for anyone who didn't pick it up during the steam sale.

That's without the gearstick. Pedals, wheel and gearstick are £157 in curries in the UK collection only, none in newry but available about 22 miles away.
Have a G25 already but building a rig for the nephew was thinking of just getting a wheel also but in no rush just was checking last night.

No issue redeeming them here.

Are you in Germany by any chance?

I bought the BTA tier and Dead Rising 2 Off the Record was available to me.

Yeah, bit of reading on the internet shows its a german thing. Related to age restrictions. Damn this country is weird at times.
Was only home last week aswell. Still worth it for the RE remaster i guess.

Thanks guys

Just bought the top tier.
Great Deal. So many of those on my wishlist.
Strange that Dead Rising 1 isn't on there.
I'd actually prefer that over the Dead Rising 3 if I'm honest.

Shougeki

Balls. I just bought RE & RE0 HDs as part of the steam sale

Never even loaded them either

Refund.

Never actually refunded a game on Steam :P
For 10bucks for the Tier3 I might just grab it and donate the RE stuff to a mate. €10 isnt even a box of smokes these days.....

CastorTroy

Was going to get RE0 but just while in paypal, I decided to check my library and turns out I not only have it, but also have Strider and DmC. The Dead Rising games and Umbrella Corps are the only ones I dont have

I enjoyed it. Took a while to get used to taking over every neighbourhood but near the last 3/4 I started enjoying taking over each area.

There are some decent missions in it though. If they kept all the good missions and shortened the game by about half more people would have enjoyed it more.

It took me roughly about 30 hours to complete the game.

Umbrella Corps ain't so bad. I'm liking it. What is the main beef the internet has with it?

I'm looking forward to co-op with a friend, don't have any expectations so expect that I will get some enjoyment out of it.

The internet also hated Operation Racoon City but I seriously loved that game, but about 100 hours into it (multiplayer I mean, SP on your own was a bit crummy)

Was just in gamestop

Syberia 3 is down to €9.99
