Is there anything better than your standard VR videos or modded Skyrim yet?

Used the HTC vive pro to play half-life: Alyx
One of the biggest jumps in tech I've experienced in years as everything else feels incremental
Problem is price and no software

Alyx seems like the only thing anyone ever cites. It's definitely something I'll check out, but...
Also, what is there for the gooners?

you have to download vr porn since most sites dont offer the resolution / bitrate you need in streams. vr porn is crazy to try once or twice

And then the novelty wears off and you're left with a hunk of plastic gathering dust?

Yes.
Porn quickly gets less exciting after a few times and it's all generic mainstream trash from clueless producers that don't know how to record for VR.
Also: No games.
VR ultimately is only for fitness right now, but even that is problematic because the fitness app have no content either.

>struggle snuggle
Haha, of course not.
>bondage
There are a few "bondage" videos where the female decides what's going to happen and doesn't even wear a ball gag

Not anytime soon.
VR porn is niche and the recording equipment is a few thousand bucks so there will only be corposlop.

quest 3 is the best value.

If you are a sim autist, one of the pixmax headsets.

you can buy cheap vr180 cameras nowdays.

Even the "high end" setup is only a couple thousand dollars (canon r5c with vr kit.) The studio lighting probably costs more than the camera.

For all the whining about the internet being a cesspit of the most vile evils, all of the convincing shit (that is still clearly staged, with good lighting, etc) gets taken down and permanently disappeared fairly quickly.

8K60FPS is the minimum for 180° VR videos and and even that looks like 720p

Price, weight, and diminishing returns on FOV and resolution.
