RUNS LIKE BUTT AND FORCES YOU TO USE OCULUS AS UR OPENXR. BAAADBSDBAD
O jogo é muito viciante. Tentei usar metanfetamina para substituir esse vício por outro, mas não funcionou. Agora estou viciado em Pavlov e em metanfetamina.
VR’da Counter-Strike hissi veren en iyi oyunlardan biri. Silah mekanikleri tatmin edici, reload sistemi var ama bende yok. Ayrıca Workshop modları sayesinde içerik bitmiyor. Tek sorun: iyi lobby bulmak bazen zor. Reload yapmayı öğrenen olursa banada söylesin ampute gibi takmaya çalışıyorum
The game is lots of fun. I mosty played with bots but when i did go online there is alot of bigots. I don't really wanna play this online anymore. Could you update the bot ai? I play on hard and they are still kinda easy. But the gane is fun. I play it on pc and standalone quest. I find if you use virtual desktop to run it, It runs alot smoother. On Steam vr is was unplayable. It still has bugs that need to be fixed. Like how my gun keeps randomly dropping. Needs a random map button.
Pavlov used to be one of the best VR shooters available. At its peak, it felt like the closest thing we had to CS:GO in VR: focused, competitive, simple, and genuinely fun. That version of the game is basically gone. The current game feels scattered between too many modes, custom content, and community-server gimmicks. Instead of strengthening the core shooter experience, Pavlov became a fragmented mod playground where the active playerbase feels split across whatever random mode is populated that day — usually TTT or other casual lobbies. If you are looking for a serious VR tactical shooter, this is no longer the first game I would recommend. The numbers do not help its case either. SteamDB currently shows Pavlov sitting around 127 players, with a 24-hour peak of 154, compared to its all-time peak of 3,221 back in January 2021. That is a brutal falloff for a multiplayer-only VR shooter. Steam also shows recent reviews as Mixed, despite the older lifetime score still being positive. The mod situation also did not help. Update 29 retired Steam Workshop support, moved content delivery to mod.io, and made older custom content incompatible unless it was updated. The developers framed it as part of the engine upgrade and cross-platform future-proofing, but from a player perspective, it felt like a hard reset that damaged a lot of the community content people actually cared about. Pavlov should have stayed focused: a strong CS-style VR shooter with a handful of polished modes and maps. Instead, it spread itself thin, divided the playerbase, and lost what made it special. There are better VR shooters now for almost every individual thing Pavlov tries to do. Not recommended. Honestly, if you’re looking for that CS-style experience in VR now, you’re better off elsewhere. Just go play Breachers. Yeah, it leans more toward Siege than classic CS, but it’s one of the only solid defuse-style shooters left in VR right now. Or you could try Vail… but let’s be real.
Destroyed all of the cool custom maps. New custom maps suck. Official maps suck even more. I've tried to enjoy the game but honestly its just NOT fun anymore.
after recent updates the game has entirely died.
Do not recommend why they updated this to no longer use workshop on steam I will never know. Only way you can play good old zombies maps is if you down-patch to DEC 15th 2021 thats last update where workshop mods and maps still work. Idk why they moved it to Mod.io they really ruined everything that was good about this game, And no zombies maps did not get moved over to Mod.io there is like 3 maps. Its honestly so sad I had not played in years and wanted play some zombies only to be crushed and sadden. So all in all do not get idk why they ruined the game this way steam workshop is so much better and way more simple and its the easiest thing ever. just so dumb.... Sorry boiz game is over done cooked and not worth the money anymore...
CS в VR? Не в этот раз. Задумка отличная сделать CS в виртуальной реальности. Но исполнение подкачало. Главная беда комьюнити. Вместо режима с бомбой все сидят в TTT и другом тухляке. Найти нормальный сервер с классикой это задание со звездочкой. Добавьте к этому мёртвый матчмейкинг и обновления раз в полгода получается грустная картина забытой игры. Без русского языка играть можно. Геймплей хороший, но его просто негде применить так, как хочется Не советую, если хотите серьёзный тактический шутер. Только для любителей TTT и прочего мусора. Если кратко: Покупал CS2 в VR. Получил выкидыша от Garry's Mod.
I was one of the last two traitors alive, with one innocent left. My teammate was telling me to buy him a C4, I don't know how to do that, and tried telling him that. Insisted that I buy him a bomb, so I shot him in him in the face as the last innocent came to see what was going on and I shot him too 10/10 experience for those watching the stupidity unfold.
