It does allow for some awesome games though.
You’d think, and yet all the gamers I know who own a headset has it gathering dust on the shelf.
You’re not wrong, and I’m included in that because I’m a dumbass who bought an Oculus Rift (i.e. not a Vive) some 6 years ago or so, and I’ve since gone 100% Linux. But man was it a magical upgrade for my sim racing setup. In many ways better than a triple screen setup, but occupies less space.
My headset was extremely immersive for DCS and IL-2, but I could never use the keyboard well enough with it on.
That’s because it doesn’t take very long to blow through all the great games. They exist, just not that many.
Guilty as charged…
Which one? Beat saber or beat saber?
Half life Alyx. Superhot VR. Walkabout mini golf. VR boxing. Any VR flight/racing sim.
VR’s ability to control the atmosphere more could make for some next level horror games, too. Like something where there’s a reason the player can’t run, like they are wheelchair bound or sailing through a lake of lava.
I really liked the “I Expect you to Die” series. Basically VR escape rooms.
