This is Why

This week I jump into bed with Rockstar and review Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PS4 Pro, and I gotta say, it’s an absolute nightmare. Really though I think from watching this you can tell I like Red Dead Redemption 2, I am just focusing on the negative aspects to question the many reviews saying Red Dead Redemption 2 is a perfect game. It just seems worse than it is in this video because of my ranty “this is why it’s an absolute nightmare” style.

We all know existence is an absolute nightmare. It is partly why I play so much VR… BUT so is understanding it, and this is why. Note: I will alternate science videos with VR reviews for a while. I haven’t given up on reviewing VR games, I even use a fair bit of VR in this video. Ever since I mentioned I was a science teacher in my Elite Dangerous VR I have gotten manyyyy emails about it. So, I decided let’s combine VR and science into a video series about teaching science.

I am back to reviewing Virtual Reality games and ohhh deary me Blade and Sorcery VR is a nightmare and this is why! Like GORN VR, the nightmare here is more the effect this game has on my young mind. Rather than any huge issue I have with the game. Blade and Sorcery VR like many new VR games is still very early access, but it is one of the most promising VR games I have seen on Steam in a while. The sheer amount of mechanics on display is crazy, and being able to do it all within a VR game is the icing on the… cake.

We all know existence is an absolute nightmare… (Part 2) Time to unwind again away from VR with some science lessons with your internet teacher UpIsNotJump. This week I continue the story of the big bang but also focus on teaching the science around atoms and elements, namely hydrogen and helium, in the hopes of finally talking about stars next week. Existence is an absolute nightmare is inspired, it it’s entirety, by the audio-book “Astrophysics for people in a hurry” read by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It is where I got all my facts about the big bang and has helped me make existence a little easier to understand, even if it is an absolute nightmare. As I said before ever since I mentioned I was a science teacher in my Elite Dangerous VR I get regular emails about science, with people asking e to do an absolute nightmare video about physics or chemistry, and this time UpIsNotJump delivers both.

We can finally review Nintendo games, so what else to start with than Mario Maker 2!? I intended on doing Mario Maker 2 in this review, but I got carried away and just gave a history lesson about Mario and Nintendo instead. This will all be relevant in the next Mario Maker 2 video though, I promise!

Following the hilarious popularity of Elite Dangerous VR Is A Nightmare – This Is Why. I’ve decided to come back to the game and mess around with Voice Attack. Voice attack allows you to add your own commands into Elite Dangerous, so you can fly it without relying entirely on the joystick. This is particularly useful with Elite Dangerous VR as you are blinded by the Vive (or whichever VR headset you use…)

Alien Isolation VR may have been out for a while, but it’s still definitely still an absolute nightmare… And worth trying. This is why is back! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Since it’s Halloween I’ve gone all out and reviewed the scariest (and best) VR game I could find. For once the title absolute nightmare will make sense… If you watch the video you will see this is one of the best full VR games you can get, and it’s technically free as it’s just a mod! Most VR games are fairly short so Alien Isolation VR really stands out in the VR market. I am so shocked this game never got fully released by Sega, I honestly thing Alien Isolation VR as an official release wouyld be the best Vive/Index/Oculus/whatever game out there. As it stands Alien Isolation VR is still a bit clunky (as it’s a mod) but it is definitely one of the best VR games I have ever played. It’s also terrifying. So sit back, relax, and let Alien Isolation VR scare the heck out of you on this Halloween eve!

IT'S CHRISTMAS! Which means it’s time to play and review Christmas games. VR Christmas games to be precise, because after all, every Christmas VR game is an absolute nightmare. I go back to my roots and try a load of Virtual Reality games about Christmas, all from Steam. No not Boneworks… Maybe next time. It occurred to me that every Christmas video game I had ever played was pretty bad, so I thought, would VR Christmas games be any worse? So it was decreed. I would play and review every virtual reality Christmas game on steam. And oh boy, there were more games than I thought. Virtual Reality is really taking off again, and since it’s Christmas I wanted to do some special VR reviews with my Index. I hope in the new year to review the newer, more specific games that are coming out, but honestly, I really enjoy just reviewing as many VR games as possible in one go. As I say at the end, although I am am focusing on the downsides of these virtual reality games, making any game, espec
