I am not sharing a 3k device with anyone :) No one wears my $600 PSVR2, including myself. 😑

Why sex? Why not just “that’s 3k don’t even think about it—“

I have a PS5 and have considered getting a PSVR 2.

I’ve never used VR before. How do you like the psvr 2?

[–] basskitten 6 points 1 year ago

I'm going to disagree with the other guy. I got the psvr2 at launch and I have been having a blast with it. I did have to work at it a bit though - I wear glasses so the first thing was getting prescription lens inserts. I also bought a comfort kit which adds a velcro top strap and counterweights for the back of the hoop. Once you get it all dialed in though, it's super fun. Resident Evil 8 (Village) was one of the most amazing gaming experiences I've ever had, and I've been gaming since Atari in the 1970s.

VR gaming for sure will be better once these devices are much lighter and smaller, but I still think you can have a lot of fun with it right now.

It’s a waste of $600. Don’t get me wrong, it’s neat, but until VR has a form factor of like, swimming goggles, it sucks wearing a headset.

I will say that it offers the very best racing experience you’re going to get out of Gran Turismo 7, especially if you have a racing wheel.

[–] richard_wagner 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, thanks for your opinion, that’s helpful. I’m not particularly into racing games but would get GT7 just because it’s so highly recommended.

I’m sure I can find a better use for $600, though, after seeing what you said.

[–] Boiglenoight 2 points 1 year ago

You're welcome! It might be worth it for say, I dunno. $300? But $600...

I'm waiting on Firewall to come out for PSVR2. Personally that was a reason for using the first PSVR, and the second one should be a LOT better without having to deal with tracking issues due to Move controller/PS4 camera.
