Ah, the Facebook owned gaming platform where you can now call homosexuality a mental disorder.

The issue is that there aren't good competitors to the meta quest platform that does what i need. They poored tons of cash in developing it and it shows compared to other brands. The closest i could be interested in would be by HTC or Pymax but the new valve deckard and samsung's project moohan will come out this year anyways so i'm not gonna switch just yet. I've been looking forward to ditching meta for years without real options for me unfortunately.

The trick is to not consider meta products to be a viable option. What you are left with is the actual playing field.

❌ Geforce Now ❌ AAA gaming ❌ Meta Quest 3

So close…

Someday we will have the technology to play a AAAA game like Skull and Bones

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What about AAAAA games? Is there a limit?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Only when you run out of breath.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA inhale

The real news is that AAA vr games are dogshit.

Even if I enjoyed a lot of that game, I feel sad that it often felt small-scope; tight hallways, no "canal/highway" type sequences, and only three guns. You don't even use the gravity gloves in the innovative ways you use the gravity gun.

Valve gets a free pass, of course.

Isn't the Arkham game supposed to be good?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Haven't looked at it, but from what I've seen, big studio titles seem to be either a shitty port or a "Hey look you can interact with things!!" style vr tutorial instead of a game.

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I heard Arkham was the real deal, but I didn't get a Quest 3 for Christmas

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

This is a VR app for streaming 2D games on a virtual screen, AFAIK. Not for actual VR games.
