So, Valve's 1000+ dollar VR Kit has been at the top of the best selling list since it was put up on Steam for sale.

Best. Selling?

 

[figmentPez]

The top sellers are based on revenue, not units sold, or so I've heard. So one $1,000 Index sale is worth twenty-five $40 Halo Master Chief Collection sales. I'm not sure if that fully explains it, but it does bring it closer to the realm of possibility, at least.

Yeah, but it's insane to think that a 1000 dollar VR kit would be outselling, you know, games on a games storefront.

That makes sense I guess. Would HATE for some cheaper indie game that sold a bunch of units to be on the same list as the PRESTIGIOUS AAA game of the month THAT MUST BE PLAYED.

PS: Checked the list today and it's nowhere to be found. I still feel that it's top spot is fishy as fuck.

Sorry, I'm just being needlessly snarky.

Actually, the Steam controller is probably selling pretty crazy right now due to the sale, does it/will it show up on best selling? Possibly data point for Pez's explanation.

EDIT: but that is sorted by "Relevance", there is no way to sort by "top selling" or anything. Just name, release date, highest/lowest price, etc.

Not necessarily. GAS is fairly common across hobbies, from what I've seen.

Give this dipshit 45 million more dollars. He's solved the problem.

This is doubly funny for me because I saw it for the first time yesterday. So nice to pretend that what I'm playing is current.

I've heard so much good about that game, but seeing clips really just drives home how much they're not using lightsabers but glowsticks.

I felt pretty badass with my lightsaber, personally, especially when chopping arms off of giant monsters.

And yet it just passed right through that trooper, causing him mild annoyance.

This is sort of a problem with blasters depicted in Star Wars games in general too? I shoot a stormtrooper in the chest, I expect him to go down in a single shot. If I actually HIT a Jedi or Sith, I expect it to do something... but I beat Arcann in SWTOR last night and I shot him like a billion times with my Agent's rifle and he just powers through it. So ether Star Wars games need to start operating on Counter-Strike rules or we have to admit that it's all kind of bullshit.

It's not like I'm shooting fucking Mandos in Beskar here. These are guys in basic armor and ROBES.

Most humanoid enemies do go down in one hit, both from a lightsaber and from a blaster shot as @AshburnerX pointed out. Though for rating proposes they don't get dismembered.

Pistol Whip - or as people are calling it, Beat Saber: American Edition

 

[PatrThom]

Those are some pretty impressive hair physics for a rhythm shooting simulator.

As all these games are based on the unity engine, it's really more of a question of how long the author of the model spent on making the model do that. That's the exact same anime girl model this youtuber uses when she's playing beat saber.

My models have hair physics too /pout

 

[Tinwhistler]

I was wondering how the rhythm game aspect played into it. Can you only shoot on the beat or what?

But unlike traditional music games, Pistol Whip has no line in the sand; you have complete freedom to shoot, melee, and dodge targets to the rhythm YOU see fit.

Does that mean you don't have to shoot in time to the music?

I'm confused.

Clearly I do not know enough about rigging in Unity to appreciate your work.

Also my models are really amateur.

No, you don't. But it looks cooler if you do.
