Expedia Cenote VR

☀️

Bad framerate on vive until you go down the stairs and complete a lap around the cenote. Then it's good.

This worked fine with my Rift/Touch, although I didn't spend all that much time with it (just .3 hours according to Steam). But clearly I missed some areas, like one of the other reviews mentioned, since there are screen shots that I didn't see there either, so will likely check it out at least one more time to see if I can't find what I missed the first time. Saw the sign that said you couldn't teleport into the water but that you COULD jump in, something I never quite figured out how to do, at least not from that spot where the sign was. Maybe you could jump in elsewhere? I actually visited and swam in a Yucatan cenote as an off ship cruise excursion 2 years ago and loved it, so was looking forward to checking this out to kind of revisit one again. Not quite the same, but hey, for free, it's all good. :)

Interesting. Framerate is terrible though. Jittery and lags, even with gtx 1080FTW / core i7-4770.

"Expedia Cenote VR" is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, "Expedia Cenote VR" is a software application that presents an educational experience... you get to look at some cave forms (Cenotes) and learn some facts about caves. Or not... this barely works and isn't compatible with most modern VR headsets (it's 7 years old, too, so good luck getting updates). For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB shows this peaked at [b]only 10 concurrent users[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.
