Zero Caliber VR

good

Error 136, can't even host a co-op lobby with a friend :(

Genuinly the most fun shooter i've played in VR. few issues however. the movement is fine but on my HTC VIVE PRO 2 there isnt a button to crouch where as in the tutorial it says its the button to change fire select. the dropped items despawn FAR too quickly. you kill an enemy more then 20 meters away you wont be able to get to their body in time to get the gun they had. some enemies will shoot an entire mag at you then when you pick up their gun its still full ,but some wont even shoot and they will only have 2-3 bullets in the mag. the 50cals mounted on the trucks are either too high or too low randomly. amazingly the vector has the realistic amount of recoil but the shotgun on the other hand wont do anything unless you are point blank to your enemies. graphics look absolutely outstanding compared to other games like arizona sunshine, job sim, crazy fishing even war thunder. gameplay is fun and engaging while not being too difficult or easy solid 8/10 I definitelyrecommend adding this to your collection

TL;DR: The guns are bad and the whole (very buggy) game is focused on them, so it's not what I'd call worth the money. The guns feel TERRIBLE in this $25 VR shooter. Genuinely, they are abysmal. Time after time, I rack the gun all the way back with a fully loaded magazine inserted, and the gun still can't shoot. There's no jamming mechanic, no safety on the firearm, it's just really unreliable. The realism of the self described "40+ realistic firearms" is laughable, with attachments being hot glued on to guns, incorrect operation of them being very common, and large gaps in models being everywhere. Entire parts of the guns are just missing on top of that, like the bolt release on the "SMG 45" having some parts of it just completely gone. Also, some guns fly out of your hands if you try to shoot them one handed, but it's very inconsistent and doesn't happen reliably enough to feel like a real mechanic rather than your controllers losing tracking. Good luck removing attachments, by the way. You need a second loose one of the same type in order to remove it. What about the rest of the game? Well, it's like a VR Call Of Duty. The campaign missions consist of running forward and shooting enemies. This wouldn't really be a problem if the guns felt good, but it's clear I have a strong dislike for them. There's climbing, which feels really janky but I am glad it's there for the most part. Sitting on a roof shooting enemies would be really cool (if I liked the guns, that it). The campaign story isn't very engaging since the story never really matches with the location, like the section of the game that takes place right after a large natural disaster looks practically pristine aside from the occasional pothole. The game also can't make up its mind on whether or not to censor swear words. Random NPCs will have loud censor bleeps on one line but say a loud hardy f-bomb immediately afterward. It's a nitpick, but it's really funny nonetheless. The menus constantly bug out. I was able to use items I didn't even unlock by bringing them back from a level and putting them on the loadout dummy. Then when I went to equip the weapons for the next mission it showed completely different weapons available, then gave me the set of guns I smuggled in instead after I selected a completely different third set of weapons. Voting for a new level at the end of the previous never seemed to visually update the menu either. I even got softlocked in the tutorial when the game spawned in infinite sniper scopes and didn't realized I already put one on my rifle. I got the game for $8 dollars, and quite frankly, I wish I spent less. Apparently the sequel got rid of the climbing mechanic and made the graphics notably worse for what was a higher price tag until lowered due to community feedback, so that's neat I guess.

I don't know what happened between 2021 and today but uhhh... Yikes. Settings cannot be accessed whatsoever on Quest 2, regardless of offered workarounds or SteamVR bindings. Zombies mode is honestly a joke. (a VRChat world offers a much better experience for the very thing y'all were trying to recreate lol)

Playing it on Quest 2 via Virtual Desktop and I am having a really good time with it. I did struggle a bit with the controls during the tutorial, but once I found a gun of my liking (SMG) and got used to manual reloading, it all really clicked for me. At this rate I'll probably finish this one and grab Zero Caliber 2 :)

this game is unironically made for kids, don't get it
