VR is literally the only generational leap in in video game technology since the early 2010s, so why does /v/ hate it?

Outside of that all we've gotten have been tiny marginal improvements lighting(ray tracing) and anti aliasing(TAA, DLSS) both of which come with huge performance costs.

I only use it for cooming to VaM and probably won't buy one again

More like 1995.

vr sucks ass and is just walking sims, and shooting tech demos.

VR doesnt lend itself to a wide variety of play styles and the available games suck.

Wake me up when we get holodecks. Until then, it's a gimmick that inherently limits what you can do.

VR hardware is moving as such a pace it's crazy. We've got headsets with 4k screen PER EYE. It's fucking nuts.
Meta revealed a prototype HMD with 180 horizontal fov and 120 vertical. They claim it's almost rivaling human vision and doesn't feel like ski goggles anymore.
Hand tracking is nutty and I hope there will be a day where I can use my real life racing wheel or joystick and hand tracking in the same game and play in a big ass fucking mecha switching from RL sticks to hand tracking and flipping switches.

vr is a dead meme

Good for flight sims and Melody Marks creampies but that's about it

I think you don't know the first thing about TAA or DLSS, considering you're speaking utter nonsense like this.

how? vam is possibly the ugliest ero game ever made

It's gimmicky and requires a bulky headset.

We've had headsets with 4K screens per eye like 6 years ago.
Meta's R&D lab also showed off varifocal 6 years ago and hasn't shipped a product with that feature. So we won't get anything with that FOV for 6+ years, if ever.
Hand-tracking has nothing to do with hardware, it's been entirely a software solution.
VR hardware is stagnating hard.

>>716495024 (OP)
My Index controller's stick broke for like the sixth time and it's out of warranty and I don't feel like buying another. So I guess I'm done with VR for now.

only if you play FPS

only 7% of the total vee audience likes that

>>716496447
mine is as pristine as it first came (that is ignoring that it comes with a huge ass deadzone already from factory)
your doing something wrong with it

Every game is either a FPS with gimmicky reloads and repetitive wall climbing sections or a rhythm game. It's boring after a month, and the 3D effect starts wearing off around the same time after your brain gets used to it.

>>716495024 (OP)
My main problem is that it takes like 20 minutes to set up (cables/virtual desktop, moving furniture, charging headset etc etc) and I have to take breaks every hour or so
I just want to sit down and play

no it doesnt bitch

>>716497206
>steamvr doesn't launch properly
>have to take off goggles and figure out why it's not launching
>hands don't track in game have to retart goggles again
fuck vr

>>716497320
that never fucking happens to me. everything just werks.
your using discontinued hardware/budget/diy shit

i have a quest 2 and only use it for vr porn

I have literally never even tried anything on my Quest other than porn and I've had 3 over the past 5 years

melody marks is too skinny now and looks bad with the braces. For me, its Agatha Vega and Lexi Lore

>>716497905
i have a ps4 and i only use it to watch netflix

>so why does /v/ hate it?
/v/ is 90% indian poorfags who just can't afford even the cheapest standalone hmd

I think its the future, i just have no interest in buying shitty prototype hardware with no games.

kek I made that reply in your pic

it was a good one, "i'm brown" was a chief's kiss.

>>716495024 (OP)
Call me when we have Sword Art Online in real life. The current tech is pathetic.

>>716495024 (OP)
Quest 3 is the first one where the quality of the headset and price outweighs the downsides associated with it.

Even then to get the most out of it, you need a nice gaming Desktop PC which is a decent chunk of change, and have to be determined enough to go through the break-in process of removing motion sickness from your body.

Not many people are willing to fight physical ailments to have fun playing video games.

Play Bugsnax in VR though......its peak..... it has a built in developer made VR mod for it than can be enabled with simple steam setting.

maybe as a neet but as a family man I care about how my living space looks like

I recently grabbed a Pico 4
For VR porn I noticed that VaM looks to be pretty fucking janky and I think I'd rather just buy a blow up doll
3D porn videos made me have to buy an expensive fucking player not to get stupid dizzy because the default shit doesn't have a separate IPD setting
I have to position the headset in such a way that it fucks my nose bridge, or the lower half of the lens will look really blurry (and the top strap is absolute garbage)
I'm using ALVR because I refuse to pay for something that may not work at all on linux (VD) and Pico Connect has some nasty spyware
So far I'm mixed on this shit, clearly headsets need 16K OLED and eyetracking, I guess that's why they're still so pricey but people aren't gonna pick those up, which makes it more of a niche

>>716495146
Same

Speaking of which, if anyone uses ALVR, does AV1 even work? I have a novidia 4070 super and SteamVR keeps crashing and restarting

>>716503945
not worth it
higher bitrate > more complex codec
