Basically the title. Do you play games with your family over the holidays and if yes what kind of?
I have my Xbox Series X at my parents house because I lend it to my brother so he could play starfield on release and he brought it here.
Just bought Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and because of the stormy weather here in germany there is nothing else to do, so we are playing terroist hunt in splitscreen together with my two brothers all day long in between the quality time with my parents and eating.
Such an amazing game and just like the old days. The Xbox is really the perfect retro console imho!
My parents asked me to bring the VR kit like I did last year. It’s an old HTC Vive I lucked into for cheap from a friend who didn’t have space to really use it once he’d moved. I run things through SteamVR.
Had to bring the whole desktop but it was worth while - my brother and mum get a kick out of Beatsaber, my dad and cousin were all about The Lab’s archery game, Longbow. Nothing else was played on it, but those two are enough. Kinda like a little side-room arcade.
Of course you can’t really play with each other, not with my one headset and PC but someone playing draws a small crowd so it’s entertaining for all.
I wouldn’t really recommend anyone to get VR at this point unless they’re super into that kinda thing as the ecosystem of games is pretty weak for the price and setup, and it doesn’t seem to be developing very fast.
However, it was a real joy to have at Christmas. Even my very aged grandpa shot a few arrows and had a marvel at it.
Otherwise, I’ll always play a game or two of FIFA on the Xbox with my brother for old times sake!
Do you mount the lightboxes when you bring it with you? Mine has been languishing in a corner for a year because I have high ceilings in my current apartment and don’t feel like going through the trouble to mount them
