Is Meta Quest 3 Worth It for Gamers?

[@SuperPaperPokemon]

I have a feeling Jon is really enjoying his Meta Quest 3. Just a feeling.

[@toututu2993]

Meta Quest have some very decent fun paid games. I am 200% sure he does absolutely very much enjoy it if he taken the time to try 20 plus games on it

I literally got a headset when fans announced the halo vr port. Just streaming to my headset being in halo 1 is a dream. Holding the halo 1 pistol alone made me smile

[@RussBlake80]

I played halo in flat screen mode before I tried the VR mod and I couldn't believe how old it felt, I didn't feel how I remembered it. When I jumped into VR it was so much better.

[@ninjabiatch101]

Now you should try Half Life, Half Life 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Doom 3.

[@Jaggith]

Doom 3 with gfx mods is good. Half life 2 vr, especially with the mod that let's you dual wield, feels like the game could have been made in 2024.

[@RhombusLabs]

For PC gamers: - Upgrade your WiFi to 6E or 7 - Make use of WiFi tethering to your PC and Steam VR - Get Sidequest and sideload games and applications from the VR community (Doom3Quest is excellent) - Get UEVR, an app that interrupts Unreal Engine games and makes them work in VR even without official support (RoboCop and System Shock remake are excellent) - Get Virtual Desktop on Quest then play all your PC flatscreen games with a virtual big screen Do all this and you'll maximize what the device can do. On top of that you'll feel like you're kinda hacking the device, which will make it feel much more like PC gaming than console gaming.

[@aonodensetsu]

virtual desktop especially, it seems like a gimmick since air link is free, but it changes a lot first of all it forwards more tracking data to the pc than air link, so for games that support it, you get extra tracking, secondly it seems to make better use of whatever connection you do have, and lastly the passthrough isn't good enough to use your monitors in vr, so having them inside the headset is actually very useful

[@Angelo-wf4kf]

@@aonodensetsu SteamVR also does hand tracking and you can even map controller buttons onto your fingers with steamvr

I have a wifi 6 router and it usually plays fine on virtual desktop but is kind of a gamble whether it'll start stuttering for a little bit or not. I'm eyeing this Prism XR router, is it as good as they say?

[@xen._]

For anyone interested to buy one of these: look into 3rd party headstraps, like the the BoboVR. Much better long term comfort!

[@MethosOhio]

Yes. A third party headstrap is a must have. One with a battery is even better. The battery not only gives you more playtime but acts as a counterweight to make the headset more comfortable.

[@aonodensetsu]

@@MethosOhio it's not a must, the default headstrap isn't awful, but it definitely is a noticeable upgrade and the battery is great

I’m so glad a GvG member has quest too. Genuinely one of my favorite platforms.

[@mattcy6591]

Even playing my non-vr Steam Library in theather mode while sitting in bed is pretty great.

[@sboeke91]

I’m a big VR fan. And I love seeing people discover just how good it actually is. It’s so different from traditional gaming. It sucks Meta is behind it. But it is a damn good device and platform.

[@turboshell]

I can only hope meta sees the success of Arkham shadow and sees people are here for the games before the meta horizons shit, funding more games like that is the move

[@Just_Shaun]

I agree that Meta being behind it is frustrating, but Horizons isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Some of the experiences on the platform are actually pretty fun. There was a collab with the office fairly recently, which was really fun to explore. And horizons objectively, is far better than VR chat in its current state.

[@ZFCaio]

Dude is just me or Quest feels like the Wii 2 ??? I even dreamed about Red Steel 2 port on Quest...

[@artoriasoftheabyss1575]

@@artoriasoftheabyss1575 its not facebook locked anymore, you only need a meta account which isnt different frmo having to make a sony account to play playstation games

[@toututu2993]

Well according to how poorly console gaming today has became. VR and Meta Quest is basically a reboot of golden era of gaming which is still in its infancy just like Atari was as a flatscreen console gaming.

[@Giants83]

Agree. Playing VR makes me feel like a kid again discovering video games for the first time. Such a cool experience.

[@VRnamek]

yeah, well. I was there on Atari and pretty sure we had nothing even remotely alike Batman or Asgard's Wrath 2. Not even on NES, SNES or PS1. I do understand what you're trying to say tho, but I'd say Quest is more like NES, bringing VR to a wider audience, many great games, even with sequels. In many ways, the savior of VR, just like the NES, after all the overhype with 2016 VR didn't pan out...

[@nm2544]

This. By an old gamer :)

[@Crazy09starkillor]

Exactly, just got a meta quest 3 recently and it gives me the same wonder and "wild West" feel of earlier gen video games. Amazing

[@13Hyrule]

A couple of great VR games to play if you're just starting to get into it because of the Quest 3, Espire 1, I Expect You to Die, Sairento VR, The Room VR, and Jet Island. Jet Island is easily the most underappreciated of the lot though, imagine exploring a large floating island with grappling hooks, jet boosters, and a hoverboard, at 500kmph, and killing giant monsters like you're playing Shadow of the Colossus.

[@CloudDealing]

BEHEMOTH, is literally Shadow of the Colossus in VR, check it out!

[@stlwill]

Try Lego Brick Tales! Building with Lego in VR is another one of those “wow” experiences.

[@XiphosGaming]

I returned a Meta Quest 3 last week, due to a Dead Pixel, didn't want to wait on the replacement arriving, so I bought one today and asked for a refund from the original retailer. Jumped straight back into Batman and gonna start Half Life Alyx later. When I was in University studying video game developement, during the early years of VR, we had some headsets to mess about with and it put me off it, glad I decided to give it another chance :D

[@IfItsNotFun]

I used to not care about VR for the most part. I hadn’t really tried much except for terrible phone stuff (like google cardboard), and I wasn’t against it, but I didn’t think much of it. The only reason I first tried a headset was when I was gifted a Quest 1, for Christmas. It’s far away from what the Quest 3 is now, but it was a game changer for me. I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that you’ve got to try VR properly to really get it. It flipped from disinterest to believing this is a new horizons of games that can’t be replicated through traditional means, and it’s awesome, and a huge part of that was the Quest being standalone. It can’t be undersold that it’s internal chip and ability to draw boundaries in whatever room you fit in makes it by and far the most accessible and easy to use headset on the market, and allows for even people with little room to enjoy themselves. (now i’ve got a pic and can play more intensive games and pc exclusive stuff, but the magic of just putting it on hasn’t been lost). There’s even more games out there that you haven’t tried that I think you’d probably love. The VR market is small and stagnates but it’s developed such a lovely library, and it’s awesome to see this excitement for it

[@toututu2993]

A lot of people are the same. They don't care about VR nor have try it for real with proper games and softwares while spending time to learn how this awesome tech works, which hold potential far better than any other device before it. People are too used to useless gimmick so when they heard about VR, they think about 3d glasses, Nintendo Wii, and other gimmick but VR is like that one magic system that it can do what those can but far more and better

[@Mephelis11]

here its a list of fun games for the quest 3: batman arkaham shadows, the ligth brigade, bulletstorm, asgard's wrath 2, triangle strategy, resident evil 4, the last clockwinder, thrombone champ, PISTOL WHIP, eleven table tennis.

[@toututu2993]

Good list.

[@SpiderLuke]

I have a PSVR2 but recently got a Quest 3 and I’ve been loving it. I like both headsets but no wire has been great because I have a ton of animals lol. I’m using it for a lot of other dumb mixed reality I didn’t think I would use it for. The Meta Plus trial with how many games I got was surprising to me. Sure things look better on stuff like PSVR 2 but in my living situation, I’m playing the quest more. I don’t regret either though.

[@aliaadels3]

I bought PSVR2 and I don't know why it is stated that it has a quality of 4k with oled it wasn't that clear. Also, I bought re4 and I just couldn't enter the ps vr mode. Also, I bought no man's sky and the quality was so horrible. I had one of the worst experiences ever and I just returned it. But can you tell me if it's worth it to get the meta quest 3 please.

[@SpiderLuke]

@aliaadels3 you may not like the fresnel lenses. It causes almost a screen door effect and is only clear in the very middle. I got a better head strap to keep it still and clear but was bad with the stock strap. I'd recommend a different strap from like Kiwi for Meta Quest 3 also. The pancake lenses of Quest 3 are much more clear but the colors won't be as black as PSVR2 and the graphics may be less, but some people just prefer a clear image. (3S has the same lenses as PSVR2. Quest 3 is heavy in front though so you'd have to remember to get another strap. I liked the latest from Kiwi again. Didn't care for Bobo strap.

[@richpeltier9519]

A few months after getting my Quest 3, I gave away my PS5. Before that I played it every day. After a life time of playing video games, my desire to play flat screen is gone. Between the stand alone games on the headset it itself and the PCVR games I can play through Steam... I'm good. From Beat Saber in the morning, to space adventuring on the weekend in No Man's Sky. Don't even get me started on Skyrim in VR... OMG.

[@KevinCow]

I recommend Assassin's Creed Nexus and Powerwash Simulator! AC Nexus really feels like a proper AC game in VR, and even if you aren't into the series you'll probably still enjoy parkouring around Renaissance Italy, colonial America, and ancient Greece in VR. And Powerwash Simulator feels so natural in VR that it's hard for me to go back to the flat version. Oh, and Audica and Pistol Whip are great games if you've ever been playing Beat Saber and found yourself wondering, "But what if guns?"

[@ZFCaio]

Yes, I picked mine a few months ago, best platform I've bought in a while I even have the SteamDeck, Xbox, Switch But this one is the coolest gaming device I picked since the Switch (which I bought in 2018) And guess what, is not just for gaming You can have the same use cases of Apple Vision Pro, like watch videos, browse the web, use certain apps (there some apps for everything, for architecture, for taekwondo, Yoga, fitness, to learn piano and so on) The games are great, I love Assassins Creed Nexus and Batman Arkham Shadow, and I picked Triangle Strategy and I think is the best version of the game, is so immersive to see your pixel art characters from the VR perspective

[@Bloops]

The magic goggles are great, but I think the controllers deserve so much praise for reviving the height of motion controls. Being able to simply talk with hand gestures in a game feels so nice, and the games that actually do motion stuff bring back so many fond feelings of the Wii days. This stuff is all incredible!

[@CANTHATEmeNAME]

I’ve said this for years, I also think a huge category you missed was multiplayer shooters. Specifically Contractors VR, it has built in mods and you can play Call of duty maps with the actual guns plus zombies as well as Halo, TF2, Battlefront 2 etc. Its an incredible game

VR is amazing and almost no one really gets that until they try it. KZbin clips just can't to it justice. Thought Mixed Reality clips certainly help. You showed some great clips of that. A video called "If You Want to ESCAPE with Me...Beat Saber ft SwanVR" is what made me want to try VR back in 2019. It has been a wild and amazing ride ever since.

[@toututu2993]

Putting a VR headset on for 10 second isn't really enough. You got to get used to VR to become immune to motion sickness then try some decent games. Even that isn't enough of experiencing true capable of vr, you also need to wait until other games and softwares to mature more so the design is not only based of flatscreen

[@xander396]

Time Crisis HAS been done in VR. Its called Crisis VRigade or Crisis Brigade. It also has a sequel, Crisis Brigade 2.

[@WesleyFiles]

My Quest 2 has felt like a portable game system in an age without a dedicated portable on the market. I loved my Switch's portable function, although the now 7 year old battery just calls it quits when my charge is below 86%, that portable function feels like a feature to what is a home console type of experience. The games are big, and big intimidating time-sinks. The Quest platform is full of short and sweet experiences that really charm me, and has a growing library of bigger, grander adventures. The last year especially feels like the platform and VR as a whole is ready to satiate a more typical seasoned game consumer.

[@wokeupinapanic]

One thing that interests me about Quest is that it’s untethered, and untethered to the point of you can use it outside. I adored my PSVR1, but it was not without issue. Primarily, it never felt “pick up and play” the way that any other game console has, and while it was pretty dang comfortable, extended use definitely brought on issue with fogging, and having to wear my glasses was always partially unpleasant. Playing mini-golf in my back yard? Oh hell yeah. Putting an old school arcade in my bar downstairs? Sign me tf up! I’m honestly still on the fence when it comes to getting a PS5 or Xbox X/S… there are games I want to play, but nothing that feels like a “must play” for me. GoW:R, SM2, maybe H:FW? FF7:R? I never even finished the first FF7:R lol But a VR headset with actual, inventive new games? I’m all over it! And being able to *actually* sit there and wear it while my gf does her own thing on the tv and I watch something else? Goals. The PSVR1 was so close, but never really had that level of ease where I felt comfortable wearing it while she watched TV and the cats were running around. With the augmented aspect, that solves a dozen little problems for me and makes me honestly want to try it, if not just take the plunge entirely!

Honestly Half Life Alyx and RE4 VR are the main reason I want a VR headset.

[@mattcy6591]

Honestly, don't pass up on Half-Life 2 VR. It feels like the game was originally made for VR

[@ZFCaio]

I played those two, both are fun But to be honest my favorite games are Assassins Creed Nexus VR and Batman Arkham Shadow

[@JoonasKarp]

You should buy BOBOVR S3 Pro Super Strap you will get 3-4 hours more additional battery (plus headsets own battery so 5-6 hours) also best comfort

I have some great friends, because I just got one of these from a couple friends of mine as a gift. I don't have a lot of games yet unfortunately, but I've had fun with the couple that I do have. I did get that Batman game too, and yeah it's surprisingly good.

6:13 w-WHAT !?? woah (Somehow i never heard of that port. ...might pick it up next time i get paid)

If you like half-life, i ***highly*** recommend boneworks/bonelab. They are easily some of the most well crafted, fully realized experiences you can have in VR. It does pull heavy inspiration from half-life in terms of the general aesthetic and even having a crowbar as a common melee option (not the only option, but its heavily implied to be the main in art and the first level). The physics interactions are also immaculate, honestly giving the same feeling half-life 2 did to traditional games all those years back. Just an incredible pair of games, though i do recommend going with boneworks first. Its the longer of the 2 with bonelab working better as a companion title that you can play standalone on quest (though, you can play the boneworks campaign that way too via mods, which bonelab natively supports). Sorry for the ramble, i just think boneworks deserves so much more recognition for how well it utilizes VR. It's truly a AAA level experience made by a surprisingly small team.

Yes. Yes it is. Also vrchat and its endless amounts of video game copyright infringement are so amazing! Being in botw IN VR?!

[@Chase64CubedVR]

Espire 1 and 2 for Metal Gear fans Zero Caliber 1 and 2 (specially 2) for CoD fans Spatial Ops for Time Crisis fans DEMEO for D&D fans

[@KARLOSPCgame]

Not even counting the PCVR side of things Not only you can just play your pc games while lying down in bed, you can even use mods in some games to play in VR mode or a simple 3D screen using Reshade or Vorpx, *or emulate 3 ultra wide screens because why not*

I play my Quest 3 more than my PS5 nowadays.

[@ninjabiatch101]

If you don't have a bad stomach or knees. yes.

[@BBWahoo]

This is so wholesome, I love your adorable baby!

Timely! Got a quest 3 coming next week. We share a lot of similar game sensibilities Jon. I'm looking forward to trying Home Sports next week (looks like wii sports!) Also, 'Age of Joy' and the feature of having consistent pass-through retro arcade cabs per room in my house. 🔥 PPSSPPVR is also exciting with PSP games having a VR-like 'peek into the world' toy box feel. When it comes to Nintendo IP on Quest, Mario Kart 7 has a fantastic first person VR mod via Citra3DS (personally looking forward to trying Pilotwings and Kid Icarus on 3DS!). Also, check out the VRCHAT N64 worlds. OoT (3Ds) and Goldeneye maps (particularly in Pavlov where you can play multiplayer) look incredibly captivating. Golf+ also looks like Wii Tiger Woods Golf on steroids. Looking forward to trying that out too! 🔥

[@tapedex]

I forgot to mention 'carve' which was made by Giles Goddard as a spiritual successor to 1080 snowboarding on N64 which he worked on while at Nintendo.

[@oOPrettywinxOo]

I've actually never tried this for gaming but we have 3 of these (well not the S one, the normal Meta Quest 3) at work (for educational purposes, it's a long story) & when we set them up I realized there was a whole new world out there. 😂 But idk if I would enjoy gaming on them

[@ThiefofRPGistheWanderingSoul]

VR is a neat concept, but as someone who has light sensitivity issues, I can't justify getting one if I think that it'll exacibrate thoze issues

[@Kritigri]

As an owner of the old PSVR 1, this is exactly where I was hoping VR was going. I really want one of these someday. It's still a little crazy to me how niche this platform is in comparison to what it can do. I'm especially interested in revisiting old games like DOOM in VR, though. Thanks for sharing, Jon!

[@ZFCaio]

There is a super cool game like DOOM is called COMPOUND
