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?

A note about battery life, Bobovr makes a great strap that has modular batteries. I don't think they've made a full kit for the q3 that has multiple batteries and a separate charging dock for the batteries like they did for the q2, though... Happy to be corrected on this! Either way, they greatly extend playing time.

The strap itself is really comfortable and the battery helps counterbalance the weight of the quest itself. I know one of the q3 versions has a fan built in and the design lets you lie on your back and just watch movies.

Edit: seems they sell the s3 batteries separately and the charging dock now, nice. Wish it came in a whole kit.
