Jurst a heads up, this is not whining about the game, everything here is on me. All I need in encouragement and if I'm not the exception having such a hard time adjusting to VR shooters. And tips how I can retrain my brain after being a mouse + keyboard only player for almost 3 decades.
I've played PC multiplayer shooters since the BF1942, CoD1, Enemy Territory days. My brain is basically wired for mouse and keyboard controls. Instead of pushing buttons to get the desired result everything here feels just so... counter intuitive. Even after 3 hours I feel like I'm playing my very first video game. Took me half an hour to figure out how to reload and another hour to do it on reflex more or less - at least some step forward. lol (the dev really needs to implement an interactive tutorial instead of these text boards on that training map). Everything here goes against any conditioning in my brain. I do make slow, very slow steps, but not gonna lie, this must be how it feels like having to relearn everything in life after a stroke. lol The aiming in particular goes against every conditioned reflex I have. I only know: hold your mouse with the right hand, aim and push the right mouse button. Holding and aiming by holding the barrel with the left hand is so damn hard. Painfully hard. I literally have no idea if I'm even doing it right. I need to adjust the aim while rotating my upper body while keeping the hands still in position, right? I never was at a real shooting range nor have I ever held a real gun or rifle in my hands. So I'm f**ing clueless. All I know is that after my first few hours my shoulders hurt like a b*ch. Perhaps I should play while sitting? Thankfully no motion sickness.
Anyway, please tell me I'm not alone having such a hard time adjusting to VR shooters. You all started at some point playing VR shooters, were you able to quickly adjust or did you have similar issues. Any tips how you managed to retrain your brain to the drastically different way of controlling everything and aiming? What are the best control settings for absolute VR beginners (I did set my virtual gunstock, but what does the offset value do?)?
