so this whole VR thing seems to be going nowhere

They added it like 3 weeks ago, and then just released another update improving it.

I'll give it a shot. The game runs very well on my 3070, though it was a bit better when I first got the game because I switched ISPs last month, and this one seems to be a bit worse, even though all the test numbers are about equal.

bump: still vaporware trash.

Lately been playing old SNES ROMS like uncharted waters 2 and Ogre battle.

Demeo is pretty good in VR. Biggest problem is no save feature mid game which kills it for me cause I find it exhausting being in VR for hours. It's a great multiplayer game though. Think Gloomhaven in VR but not as good.

mental/emotional inventory of life might be a side quest.

psvr 2 dropped and im not exactly rushing to buy one.

i think the tech is fine and theres a ton of value there and i fundamentally like the product but the negs for me are as follows;

- when i was using my vive regularly, the most fun i had was downloading these weird ass steam games, and the ones i got the most joy from were usually like, weird projects people tossed onto the market because they had discovered how to do something interesting and just wrapped an experience around it. psvr is a walled garden; i can only install official sony shop releases afaik.

- i can literally take a vive onto a plane and watch movies in a private theater, all i need is a power supply for my laptop and for my vive. the psvr requires a playstation. so not only is it not mobile, its also tethered to the available hardware in the ps5.

i think eventually ill buy it, like someone will make a full fledged port of elite: dangerous to ps5 and ill be like ok fuck it im in.

but id rather see an actual valid vive killer show up and toss a couple of grand at it, thats my dream here.

Havent played my VR in almost a year. Again its just too inconvenient. I want to multi task, I want to eat and drink, I want to be able to know if someone is watching me jerkoff.

For instance I'm playing Elite Dangerous and all I can think of is how much comfortable it would be playing it not in VR which it totally is.

While watching movies is cool in VR who the hell is going to want to put that on in a plane. Quite frankly you don't want anyone near you when using VR cause it puts you in state of vulnerability. Next thing you know some terrorist's is decapitating you like that poor Canadian in Edmonton on the greyhound bus.

I just find that the motion gets me sick very easily. My brain has a hard time matching the motion I see on the unit and the non-motion which is actually occurring, and that results in nausea.

This can also happen to me on cheaply-made motion simulator amusement park rides, if the ride isn't actually moving very much. The better made ones (such as the ones you find at Disney) do not get me sick, because those are built in a big enough area to where they actually move a good deal, just not as much as being portrayed on the screen.

By the way, if you are in Vegas and would like a good motion simulator ride, go to "Flyover Las Vegas". It's located center strip, but isn't part of any casino. Not cheap, but you get a discount if you have a Nevada ID. They have two programs, with the Iceland one being the better of the two. Very cool, and feels fairly real. Even better than Disney's "Soarin'" ride, which is also good.
