Ouch. Can you return it? Or are you happy with it?
I can return it but I'm going to keep it, some are saying that no cards exist that can run this at 120hz and I only have a 3070, so I maybe video bottlenecked. Its still the best consumer vr headset currently available.

Is Demeo worth a purchase?

edit: Ahh fuck it I bought it.

What an incredible game. This would literally be one of the greatest games of all time if they let workshop content be added and people created mods and items and cards etc. It has amazing polish and is very fun and addicting. With better levels and interesting cards and enemies would make this game a 10. As it is its like a 7 but its def worth 30$

If I could figure out how to program it, I could be a mega-millionaire. Make a virtual girlfriend/wife that lives around the house. Give her a good voice assistant personality. She can watch netflix with users on the couch, and they can pay buku bucks for some skimpy outfit DLCs. The thirsty dudes would love it. Make it so they have to do shit with her to level up to unlock more outfits or sex positions and such. Could even have her sleep in bed next to them. A waifu pillow with those 3d tracking marks on it. Just gotta figure out how to get physical interaction. Maybe a fleshlight with those 3d tracking marks on the outside. Think of all the money that could be had with accessories. Link her up with Alexa and Google Home so she can talk to them without their headset on like the movie HER. Integrate her into a phone or watch app so they can talk to her at work or out and about or text message her.

Could even have a premium version where real women could get paid hourly to be the voice of the girlfriend. User could put cameras around their house and get a 3d scan, and that could go to a VR set that the RL woman wears and can move around that persons house. Hell, porn ideas aside, users could hire people to eat dinner with them, or have a dinner or watch a movie with distant family members as if they are in the same room. You could even turn it into the next version of online dating. AR is the next best thing until hologram technology actually works.
Ah, Blade Runner 2049 then.

(if you haven't watched it, the MC has a such a virtual GF and yes he hires a prostitute to use as an overlay for the projection for him to get touchy-feely with her)

I just ordered the video wireless adapter to try. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Read an article yesterday that Facebook is going to start putting ads in Oculus rift apps and games, lol. Not sure how much truth there was to the article, but that's going to be some funny shit if it happens.

Wait til those facebook ads start ramping up! Watch 2 ads before you can play your game and 2 ads every hour.

couple of rando twitter accounts claim Valve has stopped all VR game dev and facebook as well has stopped AAA game VR dev and is only focusing on Quest VR, a few devs chimed in and also said they only make money with Quest versions of their games and the PCVR market is dead.

Dunno what happens with PS5 VR coming out next year, but yeah i'm not super into VR at all. sold my OG kickstart rift last year during pandemic for more than I paid, I still have a PSVR but its been in a box for 15 months. i should sell it

Alyx is one of the best entertainment experiences I've ever had. It really is a shame, if it's true (wouldn't be stunned at all).

Someday.

I preface this by saying I haven't played Alyx yet.

But I feel I can understand them going to more Quest type games due to the ability to draw in so much more money.

I dont feel that I need some deep and engaging VR experience yet due to the headset getting uncomfortable after any extended use.

My wife and I have a ton of fun with simple titles like Beat Saber and Walk about Putt Putt. They can take a simple concept, charge 20 a pop for it..and then load them.down with bite size DLC for those that end up loving the games.

I just don't want to see VR capable games go away, such as Elite Dangerous, War Thunder...basically any flight/ racing games.....though I did not get project cars 2 to work well with the quest.

Would like to see a more authorative source than some random person on twitter. I don't doubt PCVR titles don't make as much as regular ones because of the market share, but that doesn't mean there isn't a market.

Whole thing reads like shilling for quest apps tbh.

The only thing my feelings tell me is to not touch anything Facebook is involved in.

Thats bullshit. Thats propoganda to make people more inclined to purchase bullshit FB garbage.

Fuck out of here.

The Valve news blows if true, but by no means is PC VR fucking DEAD lol. The AR industry is predicted to generate 70 billion by 2030. VR has to exist for AR to have any kind of foothold IMO. Maybe Im dead wrong and AR can thrive independant of VR, but if VR continues a downward trend, AR will most definitely not be abandoned. Companies are all in on AR, look at the Zuk announcement with his Ready Player One type project in the works.

Maybe Valve is out, but there are still other opportunities for good content.

Facebook just bought a couple VR companies recently, so guessing the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Other content on the level of Alyx has yet to be seen. I'll gladly stand corrected if it happens, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Factor in Facebook pushing ads on their hardware and you're either going to see a big push for that type of shitty precedent OR people will stop developing for the Oculus hardware.
