Topic: VR Gaming Discussion (PSVR, Oculus, Vive, etc.)

@HotGoomba Cool, thanks. So the Oculus Quest 2 (I'm in the US) has non-gaming stuff like workout programs and things like that? I'll have to check it out. Thank you for your feedback.

OK, so I ordered a Black Friday deal for an Oculus Quest 2. I'm not exactly sure what all it comes with, but are there any accessories or anything that I probably need to make sure to get? I know with the Switch I wanted to get an SD card and a screen protector. Anything like that that is important to get, like an extra charger or strap or anything? Thanks.

@Xyphon22
The bundle includes Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR, two great games for VR.

I'd also recommend a head strap, the best ones being from either KIWI Design or BOBOVR. Some controller grips, like these ones, a better facial interface than the one included in the box, like this one from VR Cover or this one from KIWI Design.

I'd also recommend getting some lens protectors, especially if you and/or any of ylur family members wear glasses.
Prescription lenses are also available, but they're quite expensive.

Sign me up, I never knew that was a thing. Once I get $900 I will get one.

@Kermit1Pineapple They're like sub-$100 but if.you're willing to pay that much, it's sure as hell worth it.

@HotGoomba Thanks for the suggestions. So are those basically to make it more comfortable to wear and use? And does it not come with a head strap, or do you just recommend a different one, because how do you use it without one? That would be difficult. Anyways, I'll look into those. I just wish there would have been different bundles. I can't imagine anyone in our family ever playing RE4, no matter how good of a game it's supposed to be. Oh, well.

@Xyphon22 That is correct, all these accessories make the experience more comfortable.

Do note that the Quest 2 does come with a facial interface and a head strap, but they're not great.

@HotGoomba can you buy better straps?

@Kermit1Pineapple There's a few different ones to get as the default strap isn't ideal long term.

I have a Kiwi Design one and it works well.

There is the official Elite strap but they break due a Design flaw. I went through three (covered by warranty each time) before just getting the KD strap.

@Kermit1Pineapple Yes, KIWI Design and BOBOVR make some good ones.

Today I got an early birthday gift from my wife, the Meta Quest 3 and I am freaked out

I was so afraid that it will not look good when I don the headset ... but I am speechless!

I even discovered that playing FPS games in VR can cause to me to get motion sickness! So I am learning to accommodate myself to that!

I started with Google Earth VR and Half-Life 2 VR.

I did not expect to be literally IN the game and not aware of my real surroundings to such extent! And that is a 2004 game!

In other words, for me VR is NOT a dumb gimmick anymore! I just have to get used to it

@Zuljaras I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying VR!

@HotGoomba It is awesome!

I did not know so many people get motion sick in VR.

And it is so cool that there are MANY ways to combat this in the game options like:
1. At first use the teleport movement instead of the normal motion movement. I see that almost ALL games and apps have this!

2. Games with vehicles can cause severe motion sickness and devs implement not only teleportation for vehicles but things like 3rd person camera, flat screen gameplay when in vehicle!

The accessibility options are more than normal gameplay options and I am grateful for it!

Currently I am in the boat section in Half-Life 2

@NeonMullet Thank you for the information!

Actually, I will get Village (eventually) as well as 2 and 3 for Steam and play with the VR mods on the Quest 3.

@NeonMullet my laptop is with 4060 so I have to do some compromises

Still on Half-Life 2 and I just escaped Ravenholm! Also, I am now moving without teleportation movement so bit progress on the motion sickness in just 2 days

Oh, and I am loving Google Earth VR more and more

And if there is a sale on Resident Evil 4 on the Meta store, I am 100% picking that up!

@NeonMullet Nope. I only played HL2 and viewing around Google Earth VR. Keep in mind this is my first VR experience ever

@NeonMullet I got RE2, RE3, RE7 and RE8 on Steam sale and started RE2 VR. It is DAMN terrifying! And actually, a better way to play the game than normal

Finally finished Half-Life 2 VR and it was a hell of a journey! This MOD is amazing, and I recommend it to everyone!

Half-Life: Alyx is 65% off on Steam for the weekend

I have played just a little of Alyx but ... DAMN! This is NEXT level immersion in VR!

I do not even know how to describe it! I threw things at pigeons and terrorized a sleeping cat ffs
