Is a Quest 3 really worth it? (lemmy.world)

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?

I don't even think you need the PC to go with it, really. There's not much now that is both worth playing and isn't also just natively on the Quest besides Alyx. And even Alyx is mostly just a "once through and done" game that is fairly short. Worth getting if you already have a PC; not worth building a PC for.

I built my PC for PCVR and the Q2. But with my Q3 there is literally only 1 VR thing I still do on the PC and that's Heat. I also play non-VR games in it for a larger screen. Not to mention that VRChat now looks better in the standalone VR app than my now aging PC does (I'm still rocking a 1660 Super).

If you just wanna dip your toes into VR and see if it's worth it, the Quest 3 is perfect for it because you don't need to also buy or build an expensive PC unless you really want some PCVR exclusives.
