Beardo Benjo plays Dark Souls II in VR!
Half an hour of thrilling first-person gameplay from VR connoisseur extraordinaire, monsieur Beardo Benjo!
Let's be honest about it: Dark Souls games are HARD. I can barely survive 5 minutes, and that's only if I don't move around too much and wake up too many undead enemies. Yet he makes it look sooo easy, even with the added challenge of playing in first person, with his face right up in the belly of the beast.
It's a pleasure to watch him play, because I almost feel like I could slash through dozens of enemies like he does, if only I wasn't so greedy and I didn't always try to squeeze in one more blow.

how do you change the resolution? I cant find the PPD slider like in CP2077 or Doom. I'm trying to find any info on Patreon but the only DS-related post I can find here is this one
Check the game settings. There should be custom resolutions added in there.
It's probably specified somewhere already (didn't see it), but does the mod work with all STEAM versions of the DS2? There's a standard edition and then a reworked one (forgot its name, but it's the one with better lighting, etc)... don't want to buy the wrong one by mistake, neither are actually very cheap given the age of the game.
I would get the Scholars of the First Sin edition. That is the one Luke had when making the mod so the older versions could possibly have issues or not work. We don't know for sure. Plus Sotfs has all the DLCs and some new stuff added. I have played through almost the entire game now including DLCs. Only issue I had sometimes is when scripted events happen or there is a lot going on, I get a heavy frame drop and it has to climb back up to 180. I can just lower PPD and that solves it, but I'd rather enjoy it at high PPD with occasional drops :) I am farming the Giant Lord ATM and when the head comes rolling across the screen with all the enemies fighting, I get a big drop like that. Rest of the battle is perfectly fine though.
Just figured i would pop in here to literally BEG FOR KINGDOME COME DELIVERANCE 2 VR! 😂🤣🤣 THIS GAME WAS MADE FOR VR AND WOULD LOOK AMAZING!
Hi Brandon, i would like to ask two things: 1) What is the most suitable refresh rate for headset (among 72, 80, 90 and 120 Hz) when we are playing with Legacy AER? Somehwere i have read that the highest is not always optimal to reduce ghosting in Legacy AER. The other two 1/3 and 1/2 mods are unfortunately not options for me since my pc cant handle it smoothly enough (i have rtx 4070 super), 2) By 4 March GTA V pc will get an update with improved visuals and DLSS 3, so even unofficially a return back to the game would be nice. Does anybody know whether we can be able to play it still with version drawback (old exe but new dll files)?
Generally for frame pacing 120hz would be best, but you may notice the judder more since the refresh may be quicker. There is no best I don't think.
CMON WHAT ABOUT KINGDOM COME DELIVERANCE 2!!! IT WAS MEANT FOR VR! LOL
Yeah I am now on the second map and I want to explore Kuttenberg so bad in VR. Walking through horse shit. ^^ Nah kidding but the visuals of that game are just amazing.
Is there any news about Witcher 3? I read a while ago that it might get added. Asking because I tried W3 with "competition" VR software and its not even close to the level I got used to with CP2077 :(
Came here to ask exactly this. With the amount of hype that The Witcher 4 announcement has been drumming up around the series as a whole, it seems like it'd be a great move to try for Witcher 3 VR.
Hey, quick question since I may have missed it..Has the "Really big thing" for Cyber punk happened yet? I remember that being teased earlier. I been waiting to play it in VR when whatever that is comes out.
Yeah, it was DLSSS :) https://www.patreon.com/posts/s-is-for-santa-118426847
Atomic Heart exits VR after the opening screen and does not register my dualsense controller. I'm not sure what happened. I had originally been able to sit through the menu and change settings in VR. Hope it's something stupid on my end. :) RealVR64Log below: https://pastebin.com/yYPZw935
You could try disabling Steam Input if you have it enabled in the Steam controller settings for the game. Also make sure the update didn't change any important game settings like turning on frame gen or set the fps cap in game to something low like 60 or 90. Basically, double check your settings :) I tested it today with the latest mod version and it worked just fine for me. Do you have any other input devices plugged in other than your keyboard and mouse? Have you tried with the controller wired if you are using it wirelessly?
Indiana Jones just patched - and broke the mod :(
I was just updating it. Will confirm. Thanks for reporting.
Hi Brandon, Atomic heart not working with https://pastebin.com/0BGB8kaN - crystal light, get opening titles then nothing https://pastebin.com/s751ECyz - quest 3 crashes straight away
The log file is for AFOP ;) The RealVR.ini file still has the mipmap options set to on, you should disable those. If that is when using the Pimax. I haven't tested the actual release version with AH, I'll give it a shot but the test version with the DLC fix worked fine for me. Unless the game updated again in the last few days or something.
ds2 perfect on crystal light
i am one of the small few that thinks its the best souls game and in vr its fantastic
Is anyone else having massive frame drops in CP2077 when leaving the inventory, the map or even occasionally when doing finishers? After 10 to 15 seconds the frames go back to normal but it's a slideshow when it happens. This only started about a month ago and I haven't changed any in game settings at all from when it was stable. I use Vive Pro 2 and software is the same since Nov. 24. My guess is Nvidia drivers, windows update or the Mod itself. Before I roll back the mod or drivers to test I'm curious if I'm the only one with this issue.
There seems to be a bug where the inventory screen doesn't use DLSS. It has seemed to cause frame spikes like that for a few people now. Maybe your system is being hit a lot harder for a moment when exiting or something. Still not sure but you can open the REAL overlay when you are in the menu and see that the render resolution is rendering without upscaling. Not sure why that is.
I am surprised at his approach to the game since he has played through it already. Since I have also played through it multiple times, my approach was much more methodical. I didn't head through the forest for the first 5 or 6 hours. By the time I got there the hippo was a piece of cake :) Already had a really solid weapon and armor and a bunch of levels. Of course, that would not be as fun for people to watch 😁
I can't stand that guy (watching him, anyway - never met him in real life), but I admit his channel is useful for occasional VR news, and I was glad to see the mod getting well-deserved attention. Might have to reinstall DS2, but I'm enjoying Elden Ring in VR too much go back. DS3, though (hint, hint)...
