    really cool that the Beat Saber modding community have decided that ever having OpenComposite installed means you pirated the game there are so many ways you can detect a modified Steam API, and they decide not to do that and instead decide any INI file existing means you are a pirate

    I’ll be the first to admit that in terms of sheer numbers Beat Saber moved orders of magnitude more headsets than any other game. It’s more just a question of playing something brilliant and being confronted with the idea that it’s singular.

    The thing I've never said here is that I love VR. I dreamed about it for 10 years before finally taking the plunge in 2020 with the Quest 2. A fantastic device. Half-Life Alyx is my biggest slap in the face in recent years. Beat Saber (modded) is probably the game I've played the most in my life. 😁

    and it isn't Just Valve's games/apps tried on a friend's game (who had no choice) and that didn't work tried on Beat Saber, a game where downgrading versions is *key* to getting mods working if you update, didn't work tried on GTA 4, a game where downgrading is almost required for most mods, nada

    Install BS manager. without it the game doesn't have a lot of content unless you wanna pay for each song like its iTunes in 2004. Also don't play the campaign, its only there to test your patience.

    Works fine on Linux, probably one of the best VR games ever made. I don't recommend buying songs, use custom songs and you'll be fine. Also, have a backup of your modded game in case of useless updates devs ship every now and then

    Since Beat Saber wore out my shoulders (probably forever), I've been playing Pistol Whip as my VR exercise game. Really gets you squatting. Just found it has a lot of community-made levels too. Very good game. I reckon it's much better for your health than Beat Saber.

    As a small chud I cannot recommend this game. the blocks are WAY too high for my frail stature to hit, and the controllers are far too heavy. I have tried tirelessly to reach my goal of hitting just ONE block and it still eludes me . I know i have 3000 hours but i will be reaching out to steam support for a full refund. sincerely, The Small Chud Gaming Community

    going down the songs I tagged as favorites in vivid/stasis and listening to them individually outside the game. it's funny how real rhythm game cross-pollination is. so many of these songs are like "from Muse Dash" or "composed for Beat Saber" or literally just BMS stuff

    [This review comes from a longtime quest player, so most of my hours are there] This game on itself is just, fine. You kinda need to play modded or else the 30 bucks you spent on this game will never be worth it Meta bought the game and ruined it for everyone, focusing on DLC packs instead of the free OST packs and there's no variety with the OST packs the same three or four artists with the same sound all throughout Beat saber peaked in OST 5, most songs, most variety feels like new songs…

    Love this game. But it has a really bad model. The fact that this game isn't all in for modding is amazing to me. Because a company can never reproduce thousands of songs in Beat Saber but dedicated people can. If you get this game you better be modding it because it's junk otherwise. Truly a downfall for the devs not to completely lean towards the modding aspect.

    Good game, bad experience ever since devs went full sellout years ago. It's the classic early access cycle of get a hit, get bought out, and then stop caring about the actual players. You CAN still enjoy this game with mods + custom songs, but you need to go to the settings -> betas -> and lock in one of the legacy versions. (stay around 1.29.1 or 1.32 if you want a stable experience). MODS ARE THE ONLY REASON THIS GAME SURVIVES. Period. Devs are lazy, they just pump out DLC packs and call it…

    As a lifelong rhythm gamer raised on Guitar Hero and Rock Band, I've been aware of Beat Saber since its earliest days - watching YouTubers play early access builds, then occasionally trying it myself on friends' setups. I first played in 2019 on PS4 with PSVR, then again in 2024 on a Meta Quest 2, and every time I walked away thinking, "Yeah, this is my jam". It's funny, I refuse to buy consoles because I can never justify spending $500-$800 just to play the one game I want at a given time.…
