For flat games this is true, there is still work to be done for the VR side of things, even that has advanced by leaps and bounds in just the last 2 or 3 years

Are there really people playing VR stuff regularly? I only know 2 people in my circles that bought equipment for it, and both of them got sick of it after a couple weeks.

I don’t know, what I’ve tried was fun for about 10 minutes, but that’s about all I could take before the headache starts.

I have put over 9k hours of play time since i got my vive in 2018. usually play for about 2h at a stretch 7 times a week. VR has destroyed my ability to play flat games, I just can’t put more than a half hour into them these days. Usually load a game, look at the main menu, may start the game then in a few mins, turn it off.

I play mil sim, zombie shooter, vr mods of flat games I have enjoyed in the past like raft and The Forest.

When I first started there was a time i couldn’t play long but after a month 2h was no issue except for tiredness.

Your brain acclimates to being in VR the more you play so the headaches should disappear after a few sessions.

I’d say the issue these days is there aren’t enough fresh VR titles coming out.

Yeah that’s the biggest reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on a VR set.

The pace of hardware for the last few years has been crazy rapid with almost zero thought given to non-windows OS’s. The people working on reverse engineering drivers for headsets get one operable just in time for it to be out of date.
