The Index thread (please keep to subject)

@RuneSR2 THAT  looks like child abuse simulator. They could have at least made the girl a little older looking. The game is quite shocking. You sit there in the chair with limited movement and direct the poor lass to her doom before being killed yourself. If any non-gamers want to call-to-arms over a video game then this is surely up there with the likes of GTA. But, I suppose it's violence which is perfectly fine.  I guess then had it been an older person there might have been a sexual connotation somewhere depending on the outfit.  There's actually a really cool trap game on PS4 Deception IV which has sexy ladies and men getting crushed and killed via traps you set.

Ow, man, you just ruined the game to me :D BTW, I read in a review that you get very attached to the girl so it's emotionally disturbing and taxing when/if she dies...

Rumour: Valve is about to announce a VR game called Half-Life: Alyx

Indeed, or I'll buy a new pair, lol. The package has now left the warehouse - I guess the time from first contact to Support until the arrival of replacement hardware will be about 20 - 23 days. 

But I can play Pistol Whip with one controller - and enjoy Steam Home ;-)

It has been some great weeks where I've really bonded with the CV1 again. Playing Stormland still makes me think that the Index cannot replace the CV1, because the SDE, performance, oled and image quality are special. And having to depend on Revive isn't a situation I want to experience. The deep CV1 bass is also great.
Some games will shine on the Index, while other benefit from CV1. At least until I get my 3080 Ti, lol - but still the Index reveals way too many details in some games, and I wonder if the Quest Link will have similar problems or will be able to make low-res textures look much more high-res like CV1. I consider CV1 a must-have for the older VR games (and current games that have been in development so long that these were primarily developed using 1st gen oled hmds, and I do consider Stormland belonging to such a category), while Index is for the future and several current games where devs have had enough time to optimize for lcd hmds - I think Boneworks would fit the latter description (and Pistol Whip too - blacks really look like pure and deep blacks using the Index in Pistol Whip, due to the high levels of contrast constantly used).  

Hmm, my controller actually arrived today, but I wasn't home and now need to fetch it in a local store. So it's snailmail from user to warehouse, and very speedy airmail from warehouse to the user. Took 7 days for me to ship to the warehouse, and just 2 days for return shipping. Processing at the warehouse took 1 week. 

I'm thinking of getting that Pistol Whip Rune, how is it? I love games like Beat Saber, Audica and Superhot, would this game sit on the shelf next to those three? Do you reckon I will love it if I like those three?

I like Pistol Whip a lot, if you like Beat Saber and SuperHot chances are you'll like Pistol Whip too - and you can use very high levels of ss and still get perfect 90 fps. I'd recommend trying Pistol Whip - you can always refund it if you don't like it.
