Purely in theory.
Seriously. I have a Quest 2, sidequest and all, and the selection of actually good stuff is incredibly minimal.
I have a big picture theory about all of this; the experience of "computer entertainment" is FAR MORE STRONGLY rooted in "other humans" than many geeks would believe, and VR (oddly) hasn't really done much significant at all in that space.
For me and the family and people I know, first the Wii, and later the Steam Deck (esp with Jackbox games, that brings MY parents into the fold, and I'm in my 40s) has been SIGNIFICANTLY more impactful than an individual putting on a headset.
- ianbutler 3y agoI like VR a lot, but pretty much all my gaming time these days is to connect with friends. Most don't have VR and of the few who do we've tried to game together and the networking was so clunky that it was more frustrating than fun. The solo experiences can be really neat but I already live alone so if my choices are the more isolating activity or the activity I'll do with friends, I'm choosing the second every time. In practice this means good old PC fps games.
- wkat4242 3y agoOh yeah good point, I exclusively play single player games because I don't like multiplayer at all. I used to do some call of duty but the screaming kids annoyed me too much.
- ixaxaar 3y agoThe "no thanks, I have friends" argument?
- jrm4 3y agoLiterally, yes? Or I like to go online and make them?
- wkat4242 3y agoOh yeah I do have a PC so my catalogue is a lot larger. I do play a lot of sims also (I used to pilot real planes also). But the solitude of the current generation is just because most headsets can only support one player in the experience. Vive Focus 3 can do this pretty well already, I've done interactive experiences with many other people in the same space.
