How many people get tired of making their made-for-mobile headset work in PCVR and go to a tethered SteamVR native headset? Like... it must be a path well enough trodden given the high percentage of Meta HMDs on Steam, and the number of people who hit issues using them.

It's inconsistent, then. IOI need to nail it down and fix it, and haven't. That's on them.
At the very least, if you were using a native steamVR headset, I could trade notes. But I'm not.
I also can't agree it's a trainwreck when I see it working for everyone else I see playing it.

Sounds like something wrong with your setup?
I'm watching youtube footage of people on quest playing, and it looks just like I'd expect from my non-meta headset experience.

There are... three .. five(steam, quest, cable, VD, alvr?) options to connect from a Quest to PC for VR. Are all them failing to load Hitman VR? That would be a massive goof for IOI if so.

I played hitman since the update. It works fine with native steamVR HMD. It's a huge game. Looks great. Fun to play. Only issues I've got are minor bugs, and a question on why the patch notes say cut scenes are not 2d when all them are that I've seen. But that's not a trainwreck.

Save 30% on Tales of Sintra: The Dark Vortex on Steam
Tales of Sintra is a VR action-adventure with sword, shield, and bow combat. Explore ancient ruins, solve puzzles, and face the Dark Vortex in this upgraded PCVR version with enhanced visuals.
Tales of Sintra demo. I'm all for tall tales but the facile melee combat and overall pacing is a let down. The intro outstays its welcome. Slow walking with bad SFX through empty halls fetching coloured keys for coloured doors is tired. It's off my wishlist.

Sean Murray (NMS) just posted a Door emoji. Elite Dangerous has an ongoing mystery of system HIP 87621. If NMS and ED somehow managed to create a connection to travel between the two games in a meaningful fashion..... it would be the start of something entirely new. Dream for a moment....

Indeed. Turns out it's not just Index, which is possibly a worse piece of news. Pico, Quest controllers in some combinations. Apparently it was "unforeseen".

The Reach launch is a crying shame for VR. It could've been a huge win. But the inconsistency of experiences across players on all formats is clear. Most of which could've been avoided with deeper testing and feedback from experienced VR community members who would've been more than happy to help

It's a tough call. As you say, the +11t might only be an extra roid mined. Equivalent to 4% or around one fewer trips out of every 25 in a type 11... If you do a LOT of mining, that would pay back.... eventually + consider probability of FDev releasing pre-engineered cargo racks for in-game credits

Battle against your friends in an action-packed, local multiplayer party game. Wreak havoc as the mighty Kaiju or jump in vehicles with your buddies to take it down!
You need a big heart to against Reach's launch. Giving some Tentacular vibes, mixed with VRobot destruction + local co-op (local-coop???!!!), Me, You and Kaiju draws me in for the local co-op. I'm keen to see how that works, and see how big this game's heart is! store.steampowered.com/app/3092200/

It's the only way to own engineered cargo racks at this point in time. That alone makes it worth it in my book.

From what I can tell negative reviews are
1) game doesn't load via non SteamVR headsets on PC.
2) index controllers aren't properly orientated.
The former isn't me. The latter I got over quick, and have fluid movement and combat. Would like it fixed though.

Still streaming Reach. Loving it. Closing in on the end. Looks great, sounds great, plays great. Check it out. Playing on index controllers, native steam VR wired headset (somnium VR1). Streaming at 1440p, looks amazing.

There is so much I love about Reach: the parkour; the environment; the VA; the shield. The sense of presence in my headset is immense at times. The fact that it hits my IRL acrophobia in a way no VR game has done in years.
Such a shame that it's getting panned right now. It'll struggle to recover.
