I have to agree overall. I enjoyed my Meta Quest 2 but it's sat unused for a while now. There were a few games that really were awesome (Beat Saber, Walkabout Mini Golf, and Breakroom) but the last 2 really only shine with other friends and coordinating a time we can all play isn't the easiest. This doesn't even touch on the motion sickness aspect. The Q2 further hampered by the piss-poor UI/UX on the Q2, it really is astounding how bad it is. Once you are in a game it gets better but joining a party or joining an in-progress game is a roll of the dice. When it works it's almost magical but the failure rate is way too high.

The resolution on the Q2 is also just way too low for certain games, I think a MtG-type game would be super cool on the Q2 (and the games I tried in this vein had /massive/ potential that was thrown away completely due to blurry text). In the ends the Q2 has way too many downsides and not enough upsides to keep me using it. I will be getting a Vision Pro at launch though, the resolution alone almost would sell it for me but the emphasis on AR and productivity are the clincher.
