Oculus Quest solves the wire problems of old VR, but the entire medium still has far to go to be truly worthwhile
and a few others. These are the cream of the crop when it comes to current VR, and yes, they are fun! But VR games still feel like a totally different plane of existence when it comes to what they contain. As a “core” gamer, I’m used to 10 hour linear stories, 100 hour RPGs and thousand hour loot shooters. But these games all feel like…minigames. Fun minigames, but minigames all the same. Gimmicks to show off what you can do in VR, but only baby steps for the concept.
VR still feels like a small collection of hit games that are fun, but far from the traditional gaming experience I enjoy on PC and console. The social aspect of VR is practically non-existent, as is the media aspect, and it remains something that I can really only consume in small doses, or show off to friends to impress them with my wizard-like tech, only to not touch it again for months afterward.
Fool me twice, I suppose, but knowing me, this will not be the last VR headset I purchase. I am looking forward to continued expansions of VR, and in particular, I think I’ll really get back into the Quest whenBut for now, the Quest mostly sits idle in favor of my PC, PS4 and Xbox. Beside it is the Rift. At least it has a friend now.
