Onward is the Best VR Shooter

- Onward is the best multiplayer VR shooter I have played so far. I'm sure that's a hot take for some, there are a lot of good VR shooters, but I'm having so much fun. First person shooters are going to grow up and be like Onward in the future. Multiplayer and single player shooters honestly. If you came to this description looking for links, they are down below. I very much appreciate you being here.

My mind was legitimately blown in Onward when I was on the ship map and I realised that the game was actually making foggy breath come out of my mouth based on the Index mic picking up my breathing. Like, having to hold your breath IRL when aiming to not get fog in your face is the next generation of immersion.
I've been playing this game since 2016 and never realized that.
I am a stupid.
Yes, peak immersion where the maps look like potatoes, have graphical bugs/downgrades, and use pre made $10 player models.
@@-NoodleBoy ok bro as a pcvr and a quest user, I understand why your mad , but when they say that there fixing it, stop complaining,
Also they consistently fix things, but I. Separate parts( which is dumb) so now player models , gun models and every item ( except syringes)
Look the same
TLDR: there fixing it an item at a time
@@carlweeks2399 they haven't done a interesting good update in the past 2 years. There is no reason for them still using $10 pre made models and for the game to look this bad after 4 years?! There are many things you can do in 4 years and they haven't added anything stunning once.
@@-NoodleBoy You can either be a constantly miserable annoyance complaining about everything or let people enjoy things that they like.

@@pooptar5290 you might actually be able to refund the game in steam (without uninstalling it) and rebuy it at the lower price

Love this game! My husband and I play it together. We’re 60 and 62 yrs old! My husband is more used to playing games in VR, so doesn’t get that motion sickness feeling. I did initially, but the more I play, the more used to it I get and I get it only occasionally. As a novice, I used to drop my gun and get shot, but I’m getting better. Much better. I’m more cautious and sneak around doors and corners, and my husband up and running. I like to sit somewhere and pick the baddies off. Never think you are too old for this type of game. You can play on your own or with friends, or join the Internet teams. The funniest moments I have is when I literally walk into a baddie. Scream? Yep, I do! Lol!
Epic!

Somebody once told me

*Mows down entire friendly squad*
oops
We had a standoff because the other team only had one guy and we needed to even the odds between the 4 of us. Another time I launched the vip over a wall with a smoke grenade launcher. We also couldn't stop letting go of random flashbangs to blind everyone, and after everyone started shooting each other, I the vip, shot myself. Another time as the vip we pretended to shoot at each other and so I took a hostage and got shot instantly in the back
@@leyd1642 Sounds like my average R6 teammates
Sorry to be dumb 😔 but how do you know what team you're on
A great experience I had recently was when I was playing, One Bullet mode. For those unaware, everyone has 1 insta-kill bullet in their gun and if you kill someone another bullet is automatically chambered in your gun. My group was vibing so I suggested we all meet in the center of the map. When everying got there I suggested a Western Style Shootout. We all stand in a large circle and at the count of 3 we just go for it and see who wins. Everyone was on board and it took 5 minutes to get everyone in place but it was worth it!
One in the chamber? Such a good game mode
@@BrushEm correct not One Bullet
I did something similar
One in the Chamber?
@@RandomRakkoon It has a different name but I forgot what it's officially called. Everyone gets one bullet that is an instant kill. If you kill someone another bullet is automatically placed in your gun.

My favorite moment in Onward was I connected with this awesome dude in my first match of the day and I normally play for about 20 minutes at a time. We had so much fun that we played for 2 hours. We lost the first few rounds then became unbeatable as we learned how to play the game as a team. We even had team meetings before the round started. It was the best time I ever had playing a video game. Incredibly immersive, well polished, intense, etc. Get the PC version if you can.
Where do you get the pc version from
@@jaackx1457 Steam

This game looks grea-...!
Steam reviews: Mixed
Oh...oh no... what did they do...?
Uh they basically ruined the graphics so that it runs on quest and that made a lot of people salty even though it doesn’t make that much of a difference
They got bought by Facebook.
Downpour Interactive was bought by facebook so they gimped the graphics and capped the player count to ten so it can run on Quest.
@@methyl5682 should've made it run like pc games so everyone can have different graphics

Aight, just gonna pretend Counter Strike doesn’t exist, I see you
I love your videos man. It's been so amazing watching your growth over the past year, and you deserve every bit of praise you get.
All your videos have a genuine, unique feel to them and your blend of reviewing the game you're playing while keeping it lighthearted is amazing.
Keep it up my guy, we love ya
That genuine feel is exactly why I support Habie more than I support anyone else.
OMG you should DEFINITELY play Contractors VR next!!! It's another great Vr shooter too. It's literally Onward and Pavlov combined!!!
I love that game! It really is a great shooter too, I play it more than Onward.
Agreed
Everytime i play i get stuck in a lobby with a kid who doesn’t want to start the match lol…but ive had some good matches. And onward is blurry on quest. I need to buy it on pc
Contractors is most like a fast pace call of duty. Onward is more a military Sim, or most similar to counter strike. Pavlov is most like Gary's mod because its only filled with 10 year Olds with the only servers being ttt, or modded maps of role-playing. All of which will team kill you or ask if you want to play Russian rullete. No idea why anyone enjoys pavlov.
@@ingots4353 one reason, Black Ops II zombies in VR!!!!
I'll never forget one of my first matches in Onwards, i ended up alone in the jungle map against 3 players, won the match with the knife and pistol, felt like snake.
Sounds like you remembered the basics of CQC.
Jungle map? Are we sure we’re talking about onward here?
@@thematerialfish3105 i guess you are a new player, there was a jungle map like 4 years ago.
@@Keihart I was going to say they must have removed it, cause I’ve played on almost every map day and night and never seen a jungle map.

dude, i love your content. the humor is so casual that it's almost like i'm just having a conversation with a friend about great VR games. I can see your channel explode in the near future tbh. Also, your content made me buy a VR headset and now i'm stuck in the Matrix.
This game is the most fun yet frustrating game ever
I like sniping in it
Like rainbow 6
I think ima have to buy it during this summer sale
gotta be a patient boi
I think you are describing apex legends
I’m more into contractors this game got me so hooked that I even bought a overpriced gunstock 😭
As someone who plays this game competitively, I'm really glad you've decided to make a video on it! Hopefully we'll see a boost in the fanbase, even if it's small. Love your content, keep it up.
Habie is the only VR youtuber that makes me genuinely want to get in and play these games that I own! The other guys and gals are great but it's always hardware and new features and never good ol fun VR content. And when they do play games it's usually just random laughs and giggles here and there and not well curated and put together content like yourself. Love ya Habie!
hey habie, love your videos and they never fail to put a smile on my face no matter my mood, thanks for doing what you do!
Dude you are one of the most hilarious, underrated CZcams creators. Keep it coming!
Honestly I love onward so much it was one of the first games I picked up after I got my rift a few years ago and it's changed quite a lot from when I got it but it's always for the better. My favourite things are the changes in matches from super serious mil sim stuff to trying to clay pigeon c4s with an RPG. I'm glad you have discovered this game and hopefully one day I'll get to fight along side you or gun you down for fun!
habie: Pavlov is the best vr shooter
habie: onward is the best vr shooter
me: make up your mind
I mean, honestly, they both kinda are, its sort of like regular shooters at this point, which is the best one? you might say CS:GO, or one of the CoD games, but for me its the Battlefield series, realistically though, they're all pretty good in their own ways.
Pavlov and Onward are pretty much both at the same point to me, when I go in and play, there's not really any differences I notice, other than the things they're obviously doing differently, like classes and more realistic damage in onward, the actual shooting and reloading, recoil, movement, gun optics, etc, all feels about the same to me.
@@ImKevan Titanfall 2 tho
I love them both but for different reasons
He just did. That's this video. All those words you're hearing are thoughts coming directly from his mind.
But really, What do you care ? Make up your own mind
I'm really confused about the visual downgrade because online pc games have never needed to use the same graphics settings for every player to function
Its not the same settings. The PC version has much better graphics. Still, the models had to be downgraded so that everyone is interacting with the same mesh. Onward is a competitive game and it would make no sense for one platform to have any advantage
@@Ashley-1917 one word
*Hitboxes* instead of *mesh collisions*
onward got a downgrade to make the quest version align with it, so PCVR is now tied to if quest can run it or not, not the best but meh.
@@kilotheneko2064 yessirskii
@@Cheezus It' wasn't a downgrade. Downpour literally scrapped the pcvr version and now everyone is forced to play on the quest build.
Just wanted to tell you you're my all time favourite youtuber just love the vibes you bring. Have a wonderful day
Finally! A video about Onward! It's such a hard game to come across but it's a masterpiece. Glad to see that you found this masterpiece of a game. Have fun with it.
I keep coming back to this channel and just has a super large amount of growth every time.
I'm just going to use habie as a guide for VR gaming from now on. Had Onward in my library for two years and never even booted it up, wish I had as many wrinkles on my brain as you have.
His content may be asmr cause every time i try to see his videos at night my smoothbrain can't work properly and always falls to sleep. Love you habie keep up the good work!!!
I've always been sort of afraid to do online stuff, but now I may hop into onward multiplayer thanks to this
Great video as always!
If you want a slightly more Pavlov feel in onward then play assault, it’s a nice blend of tactical and chaotic
To me onward is the most genuine multiplayer shooter experience in VR. It feels like squad but in VR to a certain degree, and I really enjoy the player base sometimes (except for the occasional toxic immature toddler)
Yeah on the Quest 2 that occasional is bumped up to "often." still love the game though
@@DangerVA thanks to pavlov looking better and being cheaper i've seen a sharp decrease in the amount of toddlers on onward, pretty sure they're all migrating. though for the pavlov players who aren't fetuses i'm sure thats a bit of an issue
@@waffler-yz3gw It most certainly is, there surprisingly still isn't too many, but there is definitely more then before
Got filled in a lobby of them just not playing the game and shit talking instead
@@DangerVA theyve been contained in ttt
Onward is pog, but I still preferred Pavlov
Same
As far as guns go, I like h3, but pavlov is the best for combat
Same.
Pavlov just has more stuff to do, I feel as if Pavlov is more about the fun and Onward is more about the shooting, Pavlovs community mostly does the work making custom maps and things while onward is mostly just shooting, so I'd say I still prefer Pavlov
They’re not comparable. Pavlov is trying to be Counter Strike in VR, and Onward is a realistic mil-sim.
i am loving these videos the editing is amazing and all the videos are so funny keep up the good work loving them planning on watching all your videos because they are all great!
My favorite part is that all the attachments have some benefit to them. Making gun and class creation feel more customizable to your style rather than a premade gun.
I bought it yesterday, cause of the daily sale on the oculus store, and it was worth the 18$
@Mr. CT that's literally what he said
@@gnfq-ig yeah I know, but was it worth it?
@@Absquatulationist idk
You know the quest version is much much worse than the rift one right?
@@szpecunio yea, but the gameplay is intact and still hella fun, even on my shitty quest 1.
you should try contractors is like a hybrid of the fast paced action from pavlov and the tactical gameplay of onward
And with the new overhaul for contractors, is had smoother graphics and character models who's feet actually match the movements instead of floating through the air
been here since 5k subs. its nice to see that the algorithm picked you up so well!
Just got a Quest 2 last week and have been watching your videos nonstop. Bless your soul
Personally I find onward easier to aim, it feels like the game is simulating actual weight of the gun
Btw game will feel different for new players since there were some controversial updates regarding graphics and the Oculus quest due to an acquisition of this game's game studio by Facebook
Damn looks like another great game ruined through acquisition
4:31 wasn't tabbed in when this happened. I was beyond confused at first
Yoo you did a great job at introducing this game my friend asked me to play and watch this video and I’m definitely buying it I know it’s a older game now but still excited
VR needs more proper full games. Feels like for years the VR community has just been playing Onward, Pavlov, blades and sorcery and that hot dogs horse shoes and handgranades game.
Half life
It feels like for years people have been playing csgo and cod
@@boredbored2bored991 Obviously PC and console have more games to play then just the typical titles.
But in VR you're pretty much stuck with the same games
What I'm saying is VR needs more campaign story single player based games, we need more games like half life alyx. VR seems to just get weird wacky funny games instead of proper games that have a proper story to it like half life alyx, medal of honour. And maybe in the future resident evil 4 (but that's mostly gonna be exclusive to different headsets)
@@BarrySmoother yeah I get what you’re saying but there’s a lot of good vr games now saints an sinners Jurassic world after math lies beneath and just some and if you wanna talk shooters larcenauts just released and hyper dash i
Because of the daily deal I had to explain how to load LMGs to 6 people
Also the smg for volk that you were using is not good because for the same class there is an smg that cost the same but is slightly better
This is exactly like my experiences in Onward, GLORIOUS. Every word you spat out was just how I would have put this game.
Dude I love this guys videos keep up the great work
You should have played this when it was at it's prime before the downgrade.
1.7 was the best MP-VR game ever :(
I use to LOVE joining training ranges. However with the new update u can’t go 2 seconds with out someone throwing flash bangs in night version when u have night vision on
Eh, it has never had more players so it is wrong to say that it was at its prime in the past. A multiplayer game is always judged by how many players are actively engaged with it, not how pretty it looks.
@@TechnoMinarchist In that case every mobile game is a masterpiece.
@@awesome9174 No need to be facetious.
The drama over the graphical downgrade of Onward is honestly the most whiny nonsense I've seen in quite a while in the gaming community. The games mechanics didn't change. It still plays the same and feels the same. The graphical fidelity is not really all that important, and the drop in fidelity allowed for a larger playerbase to exist by dropping rhe entry price required for it.
It's overall a net positive.
I guess we can use the past tense now
You literally make our days better by 300%.
Bro seriously my favorite game. I was gushing about it yesterday to some friends. It's balanced, and is soley reliant on your skill and teamwork. Truly a great game
0:44 I see what you did there...
Hey just a tip for when you are making your loadout before the game starts:
You don't have to save some of the loadout points, and there is no punishment for spending up to the very limit, so I suggest that when making your loadout, if you have points leftover but you already have everything you need/want, just get random stuff like flash grenades, extra syringes, etc. because why not.
Great video, you have talent with editing
“Hey uhhh are you trying to shoot at us because we’re freindlys it’s ok though because you missed like all of your shots”😂😂😂 had me dying bruh
I love this game so much. escort is so fun and i can play with other smoothbrains.
Is it just me or does Habie have, like, the same voice as Thrill?
Thrill definitely uses some sort of mic or software to clean up his voice.
Because on his livestreams he sounds noticeably different.
i noticed that too, its weird
Half way through this video I got up, linked my new card to my oculus account and bought this game. I’ve been getting bored with Pavlov recently after about 6 months of playing it. Contractors just doesn’t do it for me. So I decided to type in “onward review” and this video popped up. You made me by this game so fast after a few days of consideration
Another amazing video Habie
haven’t watched this yet, prolly gonna be good tho :)
edit: it was good
Nothing against onward or pavlov, but contractors is just more fun for me.
Hell yeah!
Also has crossplay and they didn't have to nuke the pc experience to do it
Does contractors have mods akin to Pavlov?
Because that's what makes Pavlov the king of shooters for me.
Onward I only play because I haven't found a game with a better PvE mode.... Also its crazy immersive.
@@Giliver It does but most games I find are just regular modes. It does have ww2 weapons though which is fun.
i love how so far you have managed to find every single VR game around the same time as I did, and you had the exact same reactions as I did!! so weird
Very entertaining content , like every video I watch. Great job
Love onward, my favourite VR shooter because of how fun it can be when you play tactically. also I got no clue why the recoil is so horrible for you, its usually really controllable and pavlov has more recoil than onward. so yeah onward has close to no recoil so you might not have been 2 handing it correctly
The opposite happened to me. I tried onward and liked it, then I got Pavlov and haven’t stopped playing since April. I never got into the onward multiplayer tho so I might try that
Thank you, Habie! Very cool
thanks for making a video on this, I bought this game yesterday and I think it will be my main fps
6:16 and 6:24 are my favorite parts
Also when you missed all your shots on your teammates, I would have just shot myself
Would like it more if i didn't have toxic teammates constantly. Hard to be a new player in it.
Just mute everyone until you get good enough
Man, Habie is a really good CZcamsr, I feel like he should be blowing up _even faster_
Man you got me with the. “Have a good tomorrow if your getting ready for bed.” Just love this man
I used to love Onward, but ever since they ported it to Oculus and destroyed the graphics and layout of the game I cant look at it the same
Onward and Pavlov are different games doing different things. To me Pavlov is more CSGO/Call of duty. Onward is a tactical shooter more like siege or some other tactical shooter
Good explanation to the people that didn't watch the full video ✌
Onward is just vr Insurgency
The balance of watching and playing on a vr game really makes it like re4 vr it does it well too
Just convinced me to download the game. Great video!

osu reference
Gained a sub. About to play this for the first time. Vr gaming is so refreshing and new it’s like playing on the 360 for the first time
Theres actually a whole community and league around Onward, been playing this for about 2 and a half years now and it never ceases to dissapoint!
You sound a bit like thrill seeker
If it had the shots to kill that Pavlov it would be better because you can actually react and people would play more aggressive in my opinion I like more fast paced
Definitely, I've never understood slow paced games like r6s
Glad you found Onward, if you ever want to give competitive PvP a spin I'd be happy to show you around.
Coming back to this video months later this is the reason I got onward and I do not regret it
Onward was the best VR Shooter until Meta bought it and ruined it for the Quest
was...
it got fucking destroyed in 1.8 because quest and children so now it is completely different and you get team killed by squeakers constantly.
1.7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.8
@catlover2543 damn bro.
Yes when ever I find something entertaining I literally never check for other games that I thought would be on the vr
I love this game so much, but god damn when he says the lobby’s can be like a fever dream, he is not lying
Onward is *alright*, but in terms of fun, Pavlov is better imo.
Agreed
Hard disagree. The TTK in Pavlov is WAY to high, clashes pretty harshly with the semi-authentic weapons to then have them do not much damage to enemies.
Disagree
@@paralyzedtortoise8446 But the argument is on how fun it is and not how realistic it is. Onward can be very toxic and you are practically shot on sight in certain maps, however Pavlov’s community can be a lot more funny. Plus all of the custom games add a bit more fun than the regular death match and snd.
Edit: I just read this back to myself, sorry if I come off rude 😅
yeah personally i prefer pavlov but onward is not a bad game at all
Pavlov: VR CS:GO
Onward: VR MILSIM
Contractors: VR CoD.
Onward looks like a VR version of Insurgency
my love for onward will always be there in my heart from the good early days of VR but I think ive almost completely moved to Contractors
This video inspired me to play onward and now im part of a vrml team
A head up to everyone:
If you have an oculus, get the game it's fantastic. If you have PCVR, do not buy this game. The devs sold out to FB and it is terrible on the PC version now.
Nahh the PC version is way better than the quest version. It looks so much better.
I have the Valve index and im thinking about buying this game, cuz I love the slow paced more tactical gameplay, but it seems like recently the game has been downgraded a lot..
anyone here have the game and know if its still worth it?
ive been playing onward since release and the pc version sucks ass after they sold out
@@pixel6173 I really like the PC version and the game in general. Eventhough the graphics have been downgraded a lot, it still looks great and way better than the quest version. I would recommend watching a comparison video from "Eyes on VR". I literally can't go back to the oculus Quest version.
Oculus is a company, not a headset. The PCVR version still takes the cake.
