Eban Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 So a while ago now I bought an Oculus Quest. (The first one not second) I played beat saber mostly, did some side loading. Watched some YouTube VR exploration videos. Tried to get skyrim VR tethered on my AW17 Anyway my son stole it for a while and I havent seen it in over year or so and now he is moving out and wants to return it. Has anything magical happened with these? some great game Im missing out on? Interesting hacks?

You've probably heard of it before, but it is a really, really fun game. I would say it is one of the best games I've ever played. The physics are great, the puzzles are challenging, but not too hard, and there's no rush for anything, you can work at your own pace or just play around with the physics if you want.

HWI Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I have 2 Quest 2's, mostly the kids play on them, I personally find VR headsets to be in their infancy so the games aren't yet equal to just playing a normal PC game on a normal screen. That being said, I think the best game on Oculus with a doubt is Zenith, it's still in beta, but you get access when you buy it. It's basically an MMO developed specifically for use with VR headsets. I am a RPG/MMO junkie, so I may be biased, but I haven't found another VR game that compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember not so fondly how quickly I gave myself motion sickness with it. Eventually I did work up to almost 1 hour long sessions of jumping and climbing around but sadly I haven't touched it in over a year now. I should really pick up VR. I have a shiny Index sitting and waiting for me to set it up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eban Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 I did a sideload of Quake (or maybe quake 2, dont remember) anyway the fast paced motion on that made me feel queasy real quick. Yes I have heard of Boneworks. I will try that and have a look for Zenith.

LucioGarvey Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Have you tried out Vader Immortal? It's a Star Wars game that's really immersive and lets you use a lightsaber, so it's kind of like Beat Saber but with a story mode. Superhot VR is another really cool game that's been out for a while now, but if you haven't played it yet, you're in for a treat. As for hacks, I'm not sure if there have been any major ones since you last used your Quest, but have you checked out https://multitechverse.com/? They've got some cool articles on VR and gaming in general, so they might have some tips and tricks for you. Anyway, it's awesome that your son is returning the Quest to you. You've got some catching up to do, but I'm sure you'll have a blast getting back into it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 quest 3 is out. Getting great reviews looks like the 30 percent bump in resolution over quest 2 as well as the improved lenses is stirring things up 1 ZEUS-COMING SOON Omen 16 2021 Zenbook 14 oled Vivobook 15x oled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
