Just got the oculus quest, and I am not impressed. Head still fking hurt after 30 min of use, content isn't engaging at all. VR porn is overrated. This whole thing is a fools errand. FB, this shit is going nowhere
Ehh I agree with you in the sense that it’s not there yet. But the progress has been spectacular. Went from 1500 gaming pc plus 400 dollar unit plus wires plus two external sensors (rift) to 400 bucks standalone (quest), about the same quality. Software will follow the hardware sales. Next two-four years I expect VR to be mainstream.
any evidence to back the “same quality” claim? if so, what’s the demand for rift?
Anecdotal evidence, I’ve used both. Have you used either? VR is a pretty magical experience for the first 20 min or so. Extending that 20 min to a typical gaming session of 2 hours or so is a technical problem, not a market problem. I don’t think it’s a demand problem, I think it’s still just a technical problem. The quest was a huge step in the right direction and I expect good software to follow because it will introduce more people to VR. No need for a gaming pc basically reduces the cost by close to 80%.
Same bought and return after two weeks
Any serious gamer out there use an oculus or other VR headset as their main gaming device? I’m not a huge gamer but all that I’ve talked to said they tried it, thought it was cool, but really fast just went back to their PC/console and almost never use VR
That's me, u can't play FPS or anything in it without puking after 30 min. It maybe great for some 3d movie or virtual ping-pong but that's it
Tried all the high end ones too. Was told by the test person that 50% can’t handle them. Me, I don’t get seasick or motion sick but had that headset off in less than a minute. He is Fairly immune to them but says when he drives a real car later he is fkd up. Imo they are not a game changer at this time
It was overrated in 2015-2017, and I think it is correctly-rated nowadays. 😉
resolution and viewing angle is still shit.
Thanks for your input. People have been reluctant to accept change since forever. They said the same about the printing press, the radio, the TV, the internet and smartphones. I guess this is where I call you a boomer?

Lol you got the Oculus Quest for $400 just to watch porn? Might have spent that on 2 years of Tinder Gold and remove the virtual from VR.
Tinder gold can get you what? Unlimited free sex?
