If you gave me a VR headset for free, I wager after a week it would sit unused in a closet. Price isn't the problem.

- seanmcdirmid 7y agoI’ve been using my Quest daily for working out since I bought it in May, hard to argue with 30 pounds of weight loss. On the other hand, I’ve never actually gamed with it, or used it for anything other than about an hour of fitness daily. Totally worth it for me, I can’t wait to see what comes next.
- skellera 7y agoWhat app are you using?
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoMostly BoxVR but with some BeatSaber mixed in. BoxVR is super effective once you’ve learned its quirks and really commit to shadow kick boxing (putting a lot of force into your punches). BeatSaber is more fun and less of a grind, but its lack of a fitness mode means you fall out of zone too much inside and between songs. I want to try some more games with fitness potential like PistolWhip, and I’m still hoping for something better than BoxVR, which has a lot of usability deficiencies.
- abraxas 7y agoYou should get the "Thrill of the Fight". Better workout than BoxVR and truly feels like a real boxing match (except for the part where you don't end up with a black eye).
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoI have it and it seems to require way too much space. Would nice to have a tutorial or something, and also because it is like real boxing, it is much more difficult to grind. There really isn’t a rhythm you can easily get into, you have to keep thinking and reacting. Rhythm games have a huge advantage in the grinding department. I’ve bangered up my hands with BoxVR enough by hitting my controllers against my headset. Really should wear glove or something.
