Holy crap !!! 67 year old guy here..haven’t played a video game in 40 years. I was blown away by the Oculus2 that my wife gave me the other day. How do they make this stuff ??? Totally immersed in another world, and so realistic ! Confused as heck trying to figure it all out, but your video helped me immensely !! Thank you !!

[@whodave6358]

Great video!!! U answered most of my questions besides Is there a height requirement for your rooms/gaming area ? I have some low hanging ceiling fans lol . And does this come with any free games ? And can u get any extra memory for it ? Thanks

[@kwakking]

Well you don't have to be super tall for games, but if you ARE too short that you can't play properly, you can go to settings and enable height adjustment so it makes you taller in-game. There's also not THAT many great games that are free but you can get some really good free games like Rec Room, Gorilla Tag, ROBLOX, and such. And no, you cannot get extra memory but, don't worry. VR Games aren't very large in size so even 64 GB is way more than enough, unless, you really just plan on downloading half of the marketplace 😅. Also, about the roomscale and stationary modes, it's perfectly fine if you use stationary in like standing positions if you can move in the game with the thumbstick and such but for games like Job Simulator where you need to physically move around your room you will NEED a roomscale mode. And also, in games like Gorilla Tag, it's just almost impossible to play while sitting you have to move around with your actual arms so you have to be standing.

Now that these are down to $200 I think a lot more folks will give it a shot. Mainly I’d like to try it with RealFlight Evolution (RC aircraft simulator) and MS Flight Simulator.

Yes buy one, now on sale for $199, I was going to get a Quest 3 but it's $500 and the most of the games haven't even been optimised for the extra power and has hardly any augmented games out , Quest 3 is a waste of money at the moment save the $

What to do if the Meta App won't let be log in via facebook or whatever is called now? "Something went wrong. This may be because of a technical error that we are working to get fixed" Needless to say this went on for quite a while (bought this 2 yars ago, trying to set this up for a relative...and got it unusable for me :D . Yeah, way to go!!

[@abingdon66]

Is a smart phone required to operate the Meta Quest 2? Or can a PC and/or WiFi do the same job? Thanks.

[@utarefson9]

No, you don't need a smartphone at all. The quest 2 comes with its own build in hardware for processing games, but you can connect it optionally to a pc if you also want to play pc vr games.

[@augustovazquez2641]

Sears tower always!

[@thegamingcolossus7004]

So the quest 2 doesn’t even need to be hooked up to anything to work? It’s Litterally its own console?

What is the best equivalent of Google Earth VR app for Meta quest 2?

My stepdad got one for my daughter for Christmas and it keep saying I have to make a business account. It won't get off the screen can even see the main menu. Reset didn't fix it and I can't find any information to help me. Please help me. This was the main thing my daughter wanted this year and it kills me that it won't work. He got a used one to. They man deleted his account on it and we made a new one. It won't get off the screen there no back button or anything it's says it has to have a business account and you have to pay for a business account

Good video. I'm from Illinois too! Very helpful info!

[@im12runb4trouble]

Thanks, I've been researching all kinds and was so mad because I didn't know most of the time what they were saying. You know like 6 DOF...or For devices running v55 or later...or Fast-Switch LCD Display...and certain graphic cards did not work, and 1832 x 1920 Resolution Per Eye , well I know what resolution is on tv but per eye? Makes sense now. Oh and then you had to purchase some $80 cable to attach to pc etc. etc. But anyway you made it easy from beginning to end and I got one. Target had 'em on line for $239 , E bay was $259 and Walmart for $269 So Target won this time. Am very happy with it , was easy like you showed and was playing right away. Only thing I didn't like was having to put my card number on line. Thats just a rule I have and I never do but they don't take PayPal or whoever so I might have to get a different account for a different card to use on internet. Because I don't see any other way to to complete the quest 2 download to buy games. But still I gave up on buying one until I saw your video. VR is really cool and fun so Thanks

[@Braden567]

Can you make it where what ever your playing it shows up on a TV?

[@kwakking]

when casting to any device it shows everything you're doing on the quest 2 whichever app you go in or whatever, the only thing it doesn't show is if you're in passthrough mode. Then, it doesn't show the camera the background is black on the casting, but you can see your surroundings on the headset.

[@hardyjoe4278]

Some of the Quest 2 don't have the meta logo on it, lol.

[@kennyub1]

The oculus Quest 2 or Meta. Is a great concept. It lacks in a few areas. One is battery life. After an hour or hour and a half. It needs to be recharged. If you know how install a better battery. Do it. The battery will last a lot longer. No. 2. The chargung port. After about 6 months to a year, the battery port has a tenancy to fail. If it is used daily. The reason i say this. Is I bought a quest 2. My grandson loves it. So now its his VR. The battery and the charging port both failed. My son replaced them with a better battery. More durable charging port. So if you are the the market for a Oculus. Watch out for these issues.

is it still worth buying, even after they announced the quest 3?

[@zarhipatit5165]

no. purchase psvr 2 or wait to quest 3. I already have quest 2 but im going to sell it when the quest 3 release

[@youjustboughta]

Yeah, I'd say probably. We talk about this in the video as well. But it should be future proofed for awhile as I'd imagine all the big titles will release for both for the first year or so of the Quest 3's life.

[@kwakking]

The Quest 2 in my opinion is still very good, but quest 3 has some improvements like higher resolution, stronger hardware, mixed reality, better camera (i never owned or tried the quest 3 thats just what i know it has) but personally i'm still fine with the quest 2 it's still a really great VR Headset.
