VR Headsets
Grim_Fandango:
I've had my Quest 2 for a few weeks now.
Initially the headset felt a bit awkward and cumbersome, but I've since grown used to it.
One of the best games I've played on it so far is Pistol Whip. I tried the 20 minute demo first, that was enough for me to splash out for the full version.
The music is awesome, the gameplay is immersive, and it's a great workout :)

Aye fair play, I made sure not to include my fb profile when prompted by the quest 2.

Aye nice one, certainly takes a little to adapt, that game looks pretty cool, I bought a couple: Iron man and super hot vr. Iron man isn't bad, quite funny using thrusters and trying to aim at the same time. Super hot is alright, I just need a bit more room to move a little. Too used to playing RE4 sat down, I loved it on the PC anyway, just a bit more fun in vr, same graphics though. I've got beatsaber as well but haven't tried it yet, other than the intro.
Kinda tempted by one of the boxing ones... Although probably no point in buying more games for me, I have a backlog of steam games that I've got from various sales but haven't got round to trying yet!

Playing the climb 2 at the moment, great game unless you suffer from vertigo or similar issues. Climbing up a cliff or jumping from girder to girder 100s of feet up: is quite hairy, yet the simplicity and mechanics work really well in VR. This also has some of the best graphics I've seen soo far in VR, yet far below current PC standards, it's probably about 12 years behind PC tech (graphics wise)?
Also playing the thrill of the fight, being into muay thai has been slightly beneficial. Another great little boxing game, good workout too once you've tweaked some settings. It's so stress relieving being able to break peoples noses and not get done in the process :)
This headset and controllers were probably a better buy than my gfx card! As blub and Holy said, there needs to be more done to use it through the PC for blistering graphics and just use the headset as a monitor type thing.

Not sure I'd like The Climb. I don't mind scrambling up a Munro, but I wouldn't last one minute playing that.
I lose my balance player the roller coaster games.
I might give Half-Life: Alyx a go now that I've treated myself to a new laptop. The visuals are impressive.

I was the same grim, I'm not great with heights, probably why I always get sweaty palms when playing the climb 2. It's kinda nice to face fears in a safe environment, there is definitely a lot of good cardio work to be had from VR, I recommend it regardless; as Crytek did the original farcry and their stuff is/was still used as a graphical benchmark for PCs :) To be honest I was the same - till I found out who developed it :D
Loved Half life back in the 90s, never really got back into it sadly, I have a sequel to something in half life but I haven't played more than an hour into it before I got distracted by something else :)
