Dead and Buried, my best Rift/Touch experience yet.

Had a game of Dead and Buried tonight.
I cant believe how good this game is playing shootout with 3 other random guys (decent people too).
At first I sat on my chair playing, then found it wasn't really working as I couldn't take cover.
Then played on the floor and what a hoot, ducking down, kneeling, standing and hiding behind imaginary barricades, sticking my gun over the top or around the side and peering out before shooting these people.
Hit my desk a couple of times trying to pick up other weapons though, so wish I had a slightly larger area (about 3-4 foot square).
Obviously felt and looked like a right tool too, but I was alone so didn't matter.

Give it a go, it is fantastic and easily the best game I have played so far.

Played it again a little this evening - found out two things:

1.) I suck at this game 🙂 - somehow my companions manage ten or more kills while I have one or two which is a tad embarassing

2.) It's hard to find a game. At one point we were in a lobby of four players but the host was absent - so we all left the game, waited a few secs and rejoined just to find out we were in the same game again.
When starting a game myself I waited for ten minutes.....noone joined. 😕
It's almost like playing WoW queuing for a dungeon as dps.

Hopefully the second issue will be resolved when more people have gotten their controllers - as for the first issue: Well.....we'll see about that one I guess :smiley:

I played this tonight and had so much fun!!! It was just awesome, I couldn't stop smiling :smile: 

Played 2 v 2 shootout. It only took about 2 minutes before waiting for the 4th player after I had joined. It's probably going to be something I keep going back to because it's that much fun. Glad they have voice in the game too... without it, it can feel a bit isolating. 

I'm hopeful that we're gonna see some longevity in this game and games won't be too hard to find once more controllers get out to people.

I'm whoa182 in the game, so perhaps i'll see some of you in there = )

Now I just need to rearrange my room!

Played this earlier and it was great.  I started a room and was so at awe of how things looked, I forgot to click "Start" to start the game.  I really have to get use to reloading the 6 shooters.  😃  I'm still smiling.

Just been on and managed one game of Horde - after that was not possible to get enough people for any game, so back to the ranges...

Would be better if we could play with AI buddies when there aren't enough live players around

Is there only 3 shooting ranges (mining, crow and saloon)?
A few more would be good (and a choice of which to play would be good too).

I had so much fun last night with this! 

Had my first 'VR Fail' as well, I went to throw dynamite and throw my controller with it  😄 Good thing I had the straps on!!

Normally I'm banned from playing Friday evenings (SWMBO parade) - but sod it! I'll be on 🙂

Must admit, on my second evening of D & B, yesterday, my arms were starting to ache a bit. Which is good - that's what I got Touch for

Having a mate over who's really into VR but doesn't have a HMD himself. He's tried my DK1, DK2 and CV1 with leap motion, but this is his first time with Touch, and I hope/think he'll dig it.

Alas, in the past he's always swayed back to insisting on finishing Windlands (on classic/hard), and there's a risk it'll happen again when I tell him it's now got touch support. But I'll insist on some D&B regardless.
