Thread 715234554

is vr worth it? or just a toy that you use once?

dunno, you tell me

>>715234554 (OP)
Just got the MQ3 last week, I have played it every day since, and think about going back in all the time. It's really cool.
Definitely adds something you just don't get from flat screen gaming.
Treat it like a separate console rather than a peripheral.
My only issue is the resolution is still not good enough, you can see each pixel, and it's a bit blurry, but your brain quickly corrects for it.
I would say yeah it's worth it, but I would also say if you are interested, wait for the next generation.

>>715234689
How much of that play time is porn?

>>715234554 (OP)
Save up for the Valve Deckard (release date 2026), try it out, if you don't like it return it. Don't but into the Meta Quest crap. It's cheap, but as a result it looks cheap and feels cheap. Meta Quest hurts my eyes, whereas my Vive doesn't.

I personally love VR and play VR even more than normal computer games at this point. I highly recommend all people try *quality* VR (basically Vive or better, but again save up for a good headset so you can enjoy it for nearly a decade instead of not enjoy it for a year!)

>>715234554 (OP)
I got one of these meta bitches and after only a few uses it just loads infinitely while "updating" for hours.

>>715234991
With a tethered connection steam link gives very high quality visuals. Sucks OTA though.

>>715235036
You can factory reset it.

>>715234554 (OP)
It's great!

>>715234947
ALL of it is porn time. What the fuck else would it be? Games? VIDEO GAMES? ON VR? LOLOLOL

>>715235269
>>715234947
I wish there was an easier way to do 8k 120fps porn. 4k60 just isn't enough

>>715235269
games like pic related I assume?

It's worth it only if your PC can handle VR games.
Native Quest games are okay, but PCVR is where it's at.

Do you need other people to tell you what to do in life?
Are you incapable of making your own decisions?
Do you have the money?
Are you interested in VR?
You should be able to figure this out yourself.
You can always return things you are unhappy with, don't be such a fucking lazy cunt.

>>715236148
How can he make an informed decision without getting information?

>>715236398
What information do you even need?
It's VR, fucking go figure.
The differences between the headsets are inconsequential, if you're interested in VR, get any headset. It's that fucking simple.

>>715236148
Unfortunately, this is a lot of money for me. I just wanted to make sure it’s not le gimmick.

>>715234991
>Release date 2026
>For a Valve product
Oh my sweet summer child.

>>715236718
Not really. There's a big and noticeable difference between lenses. Pancake is objectively better

>>715236915
Its immersion is second to none, but the control scheme leaves a lot to be desired. Still waiting for consumer-grade haptic gloves instead of the clunky controllers, also, personally I experience a ton of motion sickness when a game has sliding movement, but everybody's experience will be different
people who call it a gimmick don't own a headset

>>715236915
It is a gimmick. There's no VR exclusives you'll be missing out on. But vr is more fun and immersive than flat screen.

How come there's no good VR RPGs? This is the perfect medium for it.

>>715237223
The only time I felt sick in VR was during the vanilla skyrim VR intro because the cart is bugged and launched me into the stratosphere. I don't mind sliding around.

>>715234554 (OP)
Why does a VR headset have storage?

And why is 128GB $100 ?

>>715237384
It's a standalone Android device.

>>715234554 (OP)
>3S over 3
Don't bother. The QOL improvements of 3 are not to be found on the 3S, and trust me, you are gonna get ass blasted because you wasted that much money on an inferior product.
I suggest to wait a bit longer, let the new "premium" solutions start being the norm. Meaby wait until a non-facebook VR headset equivalent hits the market. We are not too far away from that, but it's gonna take at least 3-5 years before appening.

anyone else lose the ability to play VR?
i had no issues when i first bought an oculus in 2018 and played probably over 500 hours of beat saber and 200 hours of Orbus. right around when half life alyx came out i started getting motion sickness to the point of vomiting after just a few minutes of VR.

i wish so badly i could play VR. beat saber was so fun.

>>715237384
So you can install things on it. Its a console, not a monitor, though it can be used as a monitor.
Something like beat sabre is better to play on the headset itself wirelessly rather than having a tether.

>>715234554 (OP)
I want a 3S but I am not paying what I could get a new console or video card with it. I already have a quest 2 and just want the better resolution it supposedly has

>>715237707
Don't get the 3s. If you're going to get a upgrade, get the 3. The pancake lenses make a huge difference

>>715237597
No. I got the point where the immersion is gone and its obvious I am wearing a screen on my face.

>>715237597
Maybe your eyes are deteriorating as you get older. Get an eye check.
I feel sick if I don't wear my glasses in them and I have a weak prescription

>>715237608
The wifi streaming with wivrn seems to work with no delay that I can notice, at least on beatsaber, so it's not like that needs to be stored on the headset.
>>715237280
They're too large in scope for most companies and any dedicated VR effort gets caught up in scope creep.
It's a shame that all of the old 90s and 2000s RPGs aren't as easy to port as modern titles.

>>715234554 (OP)
the porn is pretty nice

>>715234554 (OP)
UEVR makes up for the lack of attention it got is all i can really say. So it's nothing something you just throw away if you're determined to play your games in the way that you want to play them. The issue there however is that you need a really good system to make the most most of PCVR in general. So it filters a lot of people with toasters financially.

>>715234554 (OP)
still decent for porn
you only need to coom once a day

>>715238442
*So it's not something you just throw away
I need to turn off auto complete sentences, typo.

>>715234991
>release date 2026
No it's approximately never ever

>>715238303
Really hoping Light No Fire releases with VR out of the box. Skyrim VR is cool but I have played that game for hundreds of hours already so it doesn't feel new.

>>715234689
>9 year nephew visits
>sees my VR steam VR playtime (1.5k hrs)
>ask excitedly what I play

>tell I don't play VR. It must be a bug because I left it connected to my PC since I got it.
>brother chuckles

why did meta shutdown all their vr studios if they were gonna continue releasing headsets?

>>715238870
>wow what do you play?
>beat saber ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

>>715238958
Because they made shit games. Better to leave it up to real developers.

>>715237384
Quest headsets are standalone VR/MR/XR headsets, not PCVR headsets like the Rift, Vive, Index, or Beyond.

>>715237762
Being pancake isn't what makes the difference. There are headsets with pancakes that look a lot worse.

Meta's just made really fucking good lenses and paired them with screens that hide their flaws.

>>715238958
Producing games is a negative investment for a publisher.
It's bad for speculative investment and bad for business administration.
We're not even two centuries into the global IP law enforcement experiment and we're already discovering that publishing as a business collapses into complete non-producing bullshit at the expense of everything else.

>>715235269
Flight simulators.

>>715241239
This. When it comes to VR, the only thing you can reliably play is either some VR loli blowjob simulator or hardcore military flight sim.

>>715234554 (OP)
I'm writing this in VR right now.

>>715237280
Vr development is hard and bad, nobody wants to spend extra time and effort making a janky vr game 1/10th if the market can even play

>>715241727
Ha ha, based.

>>715236148
>You can always return things you are unhappy with
since when? did retailers start taking back used electronics at full value just because of karens or something?

It's fun.
Not the future of gaming obviously, but nobody claims it is nowadays, that was just recency bias, nowadays it's just another way of playing games.
it's got a lot of good games but not a lot of Triple A, but most AAA games are garbage nowadays so whatever.
I think the main problem is that i find myself playing the same stuff in vr and never anything new, a lot of the games are pretty samey.

>>715241856
This the one thing that's holding VR back, there's ton of innovation in hardware but in games?
Not really.
I can only play so many rhythm games, shooters or physics sword games before i get bored.
I still think a CAG style game is totally possible in vr but ain't nobody doing that shit.

Is passthrough grainy or is it just me?

>>715241786
>loudspekaer in the corner
Bro, move your desk away from the way. The bass response will be much better.

>>715234554 (OP)
No. Wait another ten years.

>>715234947
nta but porn doesn't use steamvr so it wouldn't track anyways

>>715238870
>say "Google Earth"
>actually wouldn't even be suspicious or absurd

>>715234554 (OP)
it's worth it if you're unattractive enough to cope by being a furry and hiding behind a fursona and wearing the world's most expensive brown paper bag known as a fursuit

Looks like the VRlets have arrived

>>715242000
>CAG style game
What like Asgard' Wrath? Didn't Batman come out?

How's Hard Bullet on Quest 3? It's either that or Action Hero that I'm gonna buy

>>715244219
Batman being an exclusive is retarded. My PC is significantly more powerful than the headset.
Is the game any good though?

>>715244367
They worked their asses off making it feel good, the gestures feel natural and it never felt like I was awkwardly just swinging my arms around like other games like Gorn or some shit, how you swivel around to tackle multiple dudes reminds me a liiiitle bit of God Hand. I would say it pretty much feels like a Rocksteady game instead it's in VR. Roger Craig Smith is fucking awesome as Batman, plot was okay.

i'll wait for the deckard

>>715245373
When you get shot does the pill unit send a mild electric shot through your colon to simulate being hit?

so what decent games are there for vr?
i mean deep cut actually fun janky shit like payday 2 or borderlands 2 vr
none of that nonsense like superhot and alyx that everybody and their mothers has already played

>>715234554 (OP)
i just use it for porn and vr chat beat saber
