I've been big on VR since the Oculus kickstarter days, and I have to admit that I don't play it every day.. but that's just because there aren't any polished high-end multiplayer games for it yet*. All my friends are on WoW, Fortnite, and League of Legends, and old pancake games with friends are more fun than VR indie games with randos

You should check out Half Life: Alyx to get a glimpse of what VR could be someday. It's a super-polished, super-fun game, and even just standing around in it doing nothing is mindblowing compared to any non-VR game

* There are some good multiplayer action games, but so far as I know they all require you to "get your VR legs" which is a non-starter for me



I appreciate the suggestion, had never heard of Alyx before seeing this thread. I’m admittedly quite reticent to use VR in my personal time but mostly because I don’t play many video games (and have never “happened upon” any VR exposure thus far) - small amounts of time gaming is often something on the N64. The technology is immensely impressive, though, and hope the games gain polish over time!
