Can I play Alyx sitting on my couch, or better to have some room to move like superhot?

I got it a few days ago, but have been fighting a toddler at bedtime and haven't gotten to play.

I play it sitting in my PC chair, but it does rotate. L3 toggles crouching and standing. There are times it is annoying though when I bump into my armrests, and leaning around corners is hard, but I'd say it's definitely doable.

You'll need to be able to peer inside containers and such

Yea man, Alyx is a masterpiece.

Imagine a war type VR game similar to Alyx in quality, graphics and presentation? I can picture me and 3 squadmates clearing a sleepy French village at night, creeping through a burnt out farmhouse before an injured nazi rushes you with a bayonet, but is wasted by your buddy, his brains on your screen.

I mean, the possibilities are endless.

Yeah I've been thinking a lot lately. VR is like a poor man's brain computer. You are essentually interfacing your visual sense completely with a simulation. Direct feeding the visuals and tracking into your eyes and brain. They arent there with other senses yet but maybe will be someday if they figure out brain computers. But even with visual only, the sky is the limit, people just have to start creating the stuff. We are still so early in the technology so it's exciting to think of how good it will be in 20+ years.

Did anyone play the Medal of Honor game that came out? Supposedly AAA quality WW2 shooter - I see adverts for it in the oculus store but reviews seemed kinda mixed as either the best thing ever or it runs like shit. Also its like a 180 gig download lol.

The trailers and stuff looked great to me, but the reviews were really bad so I never bothered to look into it more as there are plenty of other games for me to play. If I saw it on sale for like $20 I might check it out.

Virtual insanity

I havent played it, but from what I have gathered The Medal of Honor VR game is mediocre to bad.

One problem in VR in general, and in this game specifically, is the handling of long guns. If you have really solid tracking/lighting and you keep your hand gripped in the proper position, then it works just fine. It takes a bit to get used to actually having to aim (i close one eye and aim lol) but once you get the hang of it, its ridiculously satisfying.

Sniper rifles are a bit different with scope, but I guess the Medal of Honor game has wonky long gun physics and sloppy feedback. Im sure some of the set pieces/levels/areas are well done, but the reviews are pretty bad.

Just ordered the 256gb version off Amazon!! Ohhh baby!
