The Hardest VR Game Ever Made - Bartender Simulator VR

VR games and simulator games go together like cranberry juice and bitters. Or something like that. Being a bartender in VR is impossible. This game is barely a game, it's a job. It's fun, and it's a well made VR game, but it's so hard. I have failed every drink at least 10 times. All because of a meme I saw. Which is apparently the story with everyone because this game is on Steam's top selling VR games list. So hopefully my ineptitude was entertaining but other than that, that's all I got here.

To play this game not only do you need to have a really good memory, but you also apparently need to understand the concept of 4 dimensional limes

I feel like this game could use a "casual mode" where it just always says what to do for each drink. This looks like a super fun game but idk if I would want to play it

I bartend a couple times a month in a student dorm, we have roughly 200 guests a night and it is pretty stressful. Giving out Beer and Longdrinks goes fairly quickly but the moment someone orders a cocktail my brain goes "oh shit why did I get this customer". Since most of us don't have much experience we simply printed out the most common drink recipes and hung em up and after a while you just know what to do. This honestly looks really realistic, although different type of equipment exists that makes the job easier. The only thing missing from this is the customer interaction but I guess VA-11 Hall-A exists for that.

I loved this one game where you are a dwarven bartender and it’s extremely simple. Always wanted to do more of it, and now I can. It’s called tap house vr.

I work as a bartender in a cocktail lounge and I've made around 10 to 15 mojitos today, that recipe is accurate. Honestly it isn't that hard to memorise when you make them constantly.

"What's a dash?" It varies depending on how polite the customer is

This seems to be an interesting overdose simulator. Hopefully they add a stomach pumping DLC.

That compliantly defeated “gimme a hint” made me chortle.

Props to you habie for continuing to stick to a weekly video essay schedule about the cool shit you experienced in vr over the past week. May it continue to be fun for you 😊

They need to add multiplayer so I can be a customer at the other side of the bar drunkenly shouting "BARTENDER HERE.. ME.. I'LL HAVE A WHISKEY.." and aggressively waving $20.

I had an idea for a VR bartending game a while back. Of course I have no dev experience so it remained an idea. This is pretty much it on the technical side, though it seems a bit unforgiving in the gameplay.

In my imaginary version you'd be scored based on speed, accuracy and style/tricks. I think it'd make for a fun multiplayer challenge.

As a man who worked years in pubs, clubs for scrubs I'm really curious how the VR version of this feels

[JubulusPrime]

I'd love a mmo vr game where fighting is not the focus and its more about jobs, like the higher quality drink you make the higher the positive effects for the person who drinks it and the positive effects help them do there job better

[CreamyMayo]

"we have to pay people to bartend" It requires more focus than you'd think. It's all the difficulties you experienced, while engaging drunk people in a patient and friendly manner, no matter what.

Me who makes drinks at home: “I see this as an absolute win!”

I honestly like this game a lot, if you’re good at bartending this game becomes even better trying make them fast af and actually expect you to know things. I like this it’s definitely not for everyone, you actually have to work and practice, but dont give up it gets a lot more fun when you progress and you feel a rush after.

I was an actual bartender and I've got a few on my page of this game from a while back (when I was bartending)

Feel free to check it out if you are interested in seeing one us do it. Cheers yall.

It’s been a long week. Some days you sit down, sip a tall Coo Ba Lee Bray, and wonder what’s it all for? Then you get that ping. That one YouTube ping. Noon on a Saturday. I rapidly skip to 06:22 and it’s there. I’ve made the big screen. This is what it’s all for.

[eloryosnak]

I guess im more dedicated to the Cult of Habie than I expected.

Hahaha yeah I work at a cocktail bar and this is definitely what the first couple of days of a new menu feels like every time.
Worst part is these are easy cocktails I know by heart.
One cocktail we make has three ingredients we need to preemptively make before the day starts and take 10 minutes each on average.
I made all 3 and then the drink in 10 minutes.
Now I don't want to give ingredients away since it's a house cocktail but one is freshly made Grenadine.
So yeah as a cocktail bartender memorization is life.

I've been training for bartending the past few weeks and this video gave me existential dread
