i still havent tried VR. I think its time i did
In the UK I have never seen anywhere in the shops where you can try it.
The alternative is to buy it and then return it ?

I got my Son a Oculus Quest 2 for xmas and finally had a chance to put a few hours in and I have to say its really impressive, so far I tried
Ugh, I'm gonna have to invest in a Quest 3 this year I think,
- Half Life Alyx - Which was fantastic, I bought this on sale a while ago for the No VR mod, but needed to try it in VR first, loved every second of it to the point that I may have to actually complete it
- Super VR - a showcase game and a great one at that
- Vader Immortal - Finally being able to Wield a Lightsaber is so damned cool
- Batman: Arkham VR - Surprisingly good and more depth to it that I thought, I thought it was a demo ish game at first but nope its a fully fledged game
Heads up, any referrals after December award $30 for both parties. The $60 credit was a December promotion.Same thing happened to me. I tried out my nephew's Quest 2 on Christmas day and ran out to get a Quest 3 the next day. I'm so happy with my purchase too. Virtual Desktop is awesome for untethered PC VR, so I feel like I have the best of both worlds with the Quest 3. Also... someone hit me up for a referral. I want that $60 credit. Haha.
Poop. I thought the $60 was for the Quest 3 and $30 for the Quest 2.Heads up, any referrals after December award $30 for both parties. The $60 credit was a December promotion.
That was the case, and who knows if they decide to extend the offer. It was originally advertised as a December only thing though.Poop. I thought the $60 was for the Quest 3 and $30 for the Quest 2.
Cool. Find someone for me to send a referral to, and then I'll let you know how much I get.That was the case, and who knows if they decide to extend the offer. It was originally advertised as a December only thing though.
SEGAvangelist I added two screengrabs and they both describe it differently. The front page mentions December but that language is not carried over into the more detailed description.
Subnautica in VR, modded (I use the VR Enhancements mod), is something special.
An incredible experience.
It's awesome. The feel of the headset is not terribly unlike wearing a snorkel mask. The immersion is next level.I would never play that game in vr. Even in flat it made me anxious.
In Greece too, there is no place to try it. Not; sure if you can return it since its something you “wear”In the UK I have never seen anywhere in the shops where you can try it.

Did you try out porn
VR is the most slept on part of gaming, in my opinion.
Some of the best games of 2023 were VR games.

This. SO MUCH this.I’ve said it a million times, if you think VR is a gimmick or a fad you probably haven’t tried it yet. It’s the real deal. It’s a real leap forward for games. Now whether it actually delivers long term and becomes a sustainable part of it is a different question.
Theres a lot of truth to that, I've seen people say VR doesn't work but then they use google Cardboard with some weird tech demo that only half worksMy theory about people who doesn't like vr is that they tried a sweaty demo vr headset in some mall or a shit vr headset that use smartphones as screen or some terrible demo/software.
When they properly try vr with a clean, non-wet high end headset, with proper softwares and demo, it's incredibly hard not to like it unless you have very weak vr legs/stomach.
I turned dozens of people just with the old trex demo or skyscraper demo when you look down from and high place on the old oculus rift...
You in the thread "was xbox right to drop its VR plans for xbox":I’m shocked that MS hasn’t wanted to partner up with Meta yet, and use it for VR on the Xbox consoles.
I guess they just did the old "we're listening" to their fans.I’m sure I’ve replied to this already, but I’ll say it again, YES.
VR is cool, but not worth the price of admission, at this point.
yes and no. there's definitely something new the tech brings and that seems to be... presence.I’ve said it a million times, if you think VR is a gimmick or a fad you probably haven’t tried it yet.

I think for some people 3d vision just isn't as important to their perception of something as 'real'. For me it's like a PS2 to PS5 level jump in graphics just having that depth perception and sense of scale. In regular games when a boss is huge I never really get that sense, and if they zoom out it just feels like my character shrunk. For others I think they rely more on visual clues to get that sense of depth, like if you close one eye you don't lose all sense of depth or scale because you can still interpolate a lot of information from your viewpoint, shadows etc.My theory about people who doesn't like vr is that they tried a sweaty demo vr headset in some mall or a shit vr headset that use smartphones as screen or some terrible demo/software.

IMO it's not as bad as you described. Not in 2024 and not for new-comer.Unfortunately the lack of consistent high quality game releases kills off your VR love once the novelty wears off.
My PSVR2 and Quest 2 gather dust most of the time, until they finally put something worthwhile out.
That’s what I did and the quest is much much betterIf I didn’t already own a PS5 and PSVR2 I’d definitely get a Quest 3. In fact, if a few more decent looking exclusives come out for it, I might pick one up anyway. I still love standard gaming, but I can’t imagine being without VR now.
i think the first few hours always going to be impressive.
...because the tech is cool.
Not so sure that it's there yet for the longer run.
All VR need is like some ultimate AI VR converter to convert non VR content.
I wanna hear the "previously not interested" part. What were your expectations of VR and why weren't you interested before? What did you imagine it was like? Did you try some form of VR previously?I got my Son a Oculus Quest 2 for xmas and finally had a chance to put a few hours in and I have to say its really impressive, so far I tried

I tired a PSVR (the first one) with a few games and it was fine but felt very much a gimmick that I thought was at its limit so pretty much ignored it until I saw the Oculus Quest 2 and people were saying how good it wasI wanna hear the "previously not interested" part. What were your expectations of VR and why weren't you interested before? What did you imagine it was like? Did you try some form of VR previously?
I say that because I kind of was in the same boat until late 2017 (Meh, VR is a gimmick) until I tried cardboard, then had my own PSVR1. I haven't looked back since.
So someone used my link and I got $60 this morning. I looked into the "tos" and the $60 offer is good until January 7th. So you have 2 days to get hustling for that double store credit.Cool. Find someone for me to send a referral to, and then I'll let you know how much I get.

They haven't even bothered to port it to PSVR2 because it would require remaking the levels that require the DS4 light, so I don't think that will ever happen.If you got the legs/stomach for it, it really is the future of gaming.
Now, If only PS ported Astrobot to PC, more folks would understand how irrelevant Mario is in the 3D platforming realm. Astrobot for LIFE.
