Alyx is wonderful but it is not the Killer App for VR; Beat Saber is.
Beat saber’s popularity is absurd. Someone here on HN once mentioned it’s like if the most popular app on the App Store, ahead of WhatsApp, YouTube and all such free apps, was a game that costs 20 bucks.
- justinclift 5y agoYeah, that was going to be my major driver for getting a VR rig. I used to do Arnis/Escrima (stick fighting martial art), so this appeals to me greatly. Then Facebook bought them. So, all plans for getting a VR rig have been permanently shelved. :(
- scrollaway 5y agoAh i understand. You still have the option of buying a non-Facebook rig such as a VIVE or Index and not buying any DLC (there is an extremely active modding scene). If you really don’t want to give Facebook any money, nobody will judge you for acquiring the game itself via other means, either. As a fellow player, it’s worth it. I have TWO VR rigs and both of them only have beat saber on them.
