I have been really tempted to jump into VR for a little while now, I tried it when the quest first came out, the very first one but it was too blurry and made me dizzy. I've considered getting back into it again, but the thing that has made me really hesitant is I've heard that VR is not in the greatest place and that it's really tough to find good VR games to play. For example, there's Fallout and Skyrim VR but they're not really in good shape, and it takes a lot of modding and tweaking to get them to actually work properly. But I'm curious what other people think. Do you think VR is in a good enough place to be able to play it and enjoy it long-term? Or is it some sort of short-term hype thing?

To give you a real unbiased answer as someone who's actually used the headset, the Quest 3 is the best VR headset you'll get for the money. Pancake lenses are amazing, performance is really good, software has gotten ages better since launch. Meta throttles the chipset a lot, with QGO (an app) you can meet or be just under PC quality on most games, but the base headset is fine by itself.

As for games, there's never been a better time to hope in. But I'll be honest my Q3 is practically a beat saber machine at this point. I haven't found another game to be as enticing. Pistol whip was meh, I couldn't get into B&S or Asgards wrath, Metro Awaking isn't my type of game. It's really up to you to decide how valuable VR is.
