Man, this is high quality content. I love seeing new channels pop up that are as excited about VR as I am. And not only that, put a lot of work and love into said content. It's nice.
Probably my favorite vr moment of all time was when on pavlov, on Hageru, I was hiding inside a house with my group mates, sniping germans, physically wracking the bolt back, yelling at my teammates telling them where the enemies were, watching my comrades get slowly murdered all around me. There were tears, there were laughs, and there were dead headsets. And like you said, when I think about this, I dont think "I saw everyone around me die and then shot everyone" I think "I physically dodges bullets, hid behind bullets, made connections with people, and pulled back bolts."
I love your point about how memories in VR feel like you’re actually there. I think when you’re playing VR, obviously you’re always somewhat aware that you’re in VR. You can feel the headset on your head, your field of view is lower, you can feel controllers in your hands, etc. But when you revisit the memory, your mind kinda filters out the minute senses and focuses on the more straightforward things: sight and sound. So when you look back, it really just feels like you actually experienced it
I love VR. It’s just a beyond amazing experience and just feels more in depth than 2D can ever do. I really hope it takes off and we get more impressive games, like a survival game and a stealth game similar to splinter cell and metal gear solid. I’d kill for that man
I honestly love video essays, even when it's about stuff I already know about. It was nice to see what kind of thought process and the little things I hadn't picked up on that someone else did. Thanks for making suck a wonderful video about vr (I don't own a headset but I will soon since I got a good setup now), and I hope everything goes well for you.
The best part is the steamvr compatibility. The amount of wrestling you have to do with other headsets like the quest to work with steam vr is crazy. Also 100000 steam points
my favorite part of that new years in VRChat... was the servers crashing at exactly midnight, i was with a group of recently made friends, and we were all counting down, i was absolutely trashed drunk, and when i counted down to ONE, i closed my eyes and yelled HAPPY NEW YEAR... i opened my eyes... and got greeted to the steam VR VOID... i had never felt so alone... almost made my feel schizo
Vrchat is one of those games that i play in bursts, I simply dont have as much time as i used to for it. But man, social vr is really on a different level. I'm glad my index helped me meet lots of cool people and create good memories. But after years of vr, it really still leaves me longing for more.
Not gonna lie, I saw a recommendation for this video and an blown away by the quality of your script, pacing, and editing... This feels like a big RUclips channel vid
I have an Index, I got it like week 2(?) of it on sale. I only recently have to replace one of the base stations which actually was really easy. Just contacted valve support and they did a free RMA for it even though i was out of warranty. Other than that it's been great to me
Luck you. Bought mine used from a friend and after about 50 hours of use, the left controller is dead and the tether cable is degrading, so sparkly pixels and popping audio. Support told me neither is covered and it’s $129 for each. This has definitely left a sour taste in the quality control of the Index.
I bought an exhaust fan for my Valve Index and it’s literally a game-changer! My initial thought was that it would be a cheap and low-quality product made by companies that wanted to make a quick buck. However, the huge amount of heat it actually manages to deflect is amazing. I can play high-intensity games like Lightsaber, Ragnarock, and Pavlov for so much longer without having to take a break and ruin the immersion because of sweating. Also my joystick got worn out and started drifting on my left controller after 15 months..I contacted support and they sent me a new one even though the insurance was no longer valid! . I love their customer support! Really High tier content my man! you deserve more subscribers! Subscribed :)
That high pitch whine around 0:50 though… as it slowly ramped up I initially thought it was my ear (happens sometimes for a few sec) until it became so loud it was obviously external of nature.
bro from such a small channel i was supprised from the super high quality content. your editing is top notch and feels like something from 10mil + channels. you really deserve more subs for content this good. Should be proud of your content, its amazing.
Switching from a reverb g2 to index now, I realize that everyone has such a different experience that some people hate a headset and some people love the headset. I’m always nervous picking up a new piece of technology especially seeing all the complaints around the index, but this has been my dream since getting the original reverb g1 in 2018, I’m ready to see what the best of VR has to offer
Love the video bri. I completely agree with every point you made especially with you remembering vr as you were there and not playing a game or how like vr now is very much the 360 late 2000s/early 2010s vibe. I love it and I don't think many people realize how emersive vr really is. I'm glad I caught this vibe while it's Still in its early stages
Quality content right here, keep it up! We need more vr content. More vr content creates the means for a more expansive and hopefully increasingly great vr community
Dude, what a great video. Informative, nicely edited, funny bits thrown in. And you were absolutely right about BoneWork and Alyx, every video talks about them, so nice skip. Keep making vids!
Some great intro music. That's all I got for talking about the video. Uh thanks for giving me excitement to own one of these. In 2 years or something like that.
You earned a sub today brother. I ordered my kit last weekend after giving up a kidney! In actuality, I have a quest pro.. But, I want to properly experience full body without a bunch of issues. So, the index was a full send for me. Keep up the good work!
First video i saw, and.. im in love. The Quality, jokes, comedic timing, the flow of the script is all so good, that I would expected you to have like 500k subscribers at least. I subscribed, kissed that bell good night, and im here to stay. Keep the good stuff coming, I will be watching all of it.

@@c.h.7580 I'm actually an introvert. And I don't know why you are so aggressiv and negativ...

Index is still my main headset to this day. Got it a few months before this video released and I haven't used anything else since. Yeah these new headsets like the Q3 are apparently better, but I don't want to buy from Meta anymore. They are a bad corporation that couldn't care less about innovation if it doesn't make them the money. The thing I LOVE about the index is it's modability. This is THE developer's HMD with it's seamless support for Full Body Tracking, Open Source Tools, etc. With all the Meta shilling on yt nowadays you've earned a like and a sub. Amazing video that still holds up.
Had index since summer of 2020. Never had any issues that people talk about and only 2 weeks ago I got one of my controller to rarely give me "thumbstick drift". Absolute blast of a headset and always gets the job done to immerse me into any game
You can Get the Samsug Odyssey+ Has an AmOled & Same Resolution & Inside out Tracking that is pretty good & Can be found for $150 or less used! I have tried many other Headsets & it is Currently my favorite. It's Display is Absolutely Beautiful. Poor Man's Bigscreen Beyond!
I was recently just thinking about upgrading from a Rift S. I had no idea that the index had quality issues that you mentioned. Definitely something to take into consideration. I also didn't know about the HP Reverb G2. That looks pretty solid.
Yeah the Index can definitely be a bit of a pain, but when it does work it's a great all around package. If you can spare the cash and don't mind things occasionally being janky, Index. Otherwise, Quest 2 or Reverb G2 are the way to go
I upgraded from spending 1000 hours in a quest 2, to having an index, four base stations, and full body tracking. I love this headset. It may not be a Paimax 4k, but its easily the best investment ive made in terms of enjoying VR a whole lot more. This headset is going to be main way I experience VR for the coming years and I don't see that changing any time soon. Great video. I'm glad RUclips finally recommended me something I was actually interested in watching.
This was super helpful, thank you. I got a valve after having the quest 2 for some time and was wondering if I made the right decision. I feel much better after watching this! Thanks!
Great review. love my Index, I’ve had it 3 years now, and use it regularly. Still not convinced anything objectively better has come along. Also..I actually had to check if my base stations were on for that moment of this video…
Really great video sir! Keep it up. Im a vr user almost everyday - games and mainly art but, I always wanted Index (Im quest 2 owner) bcs of the budget I couldnt afford it. So anyone who really wants to get some vr Oculus is so far after a year a great choice but index superior mainly in that audio quality and finger tracking as u said. Also I tried Index so I'm not just blindly typing this.
Nice video! I'm personally doing wireless PCVR over airlink with the refurbished Quest 2 I bought before they bumped up the price, alongside third party add-ons and stuff to use with it. I likely won't get an Index (despite some of the really nice features), but eventually I hope to somehow acquire a Deckard (you know, whenever that may possibly come out). Plz gimmie that valve-made wireless PCVR Index successor, Valve!
The index was a great headset at release. But now it is over 3 years old and pretty outdated. Now It's just the kind of "If you find it at a good price second hand then sure" type of headset.
The Index is still king despite its advanced age. That says a lot more about stagnation of the VR industry than anything else. Several VR headsets have released since the Index, but most of them aren't even intended to be in its class. They're cheaper, more accessible, mobile, whatever. But there's been very little focus on making VR headsets which actually provide a better VR experience. The advantages of the Index become even more substantial if you're big into VRChat where you can get into full body tracking.
@@beanieteamie7435 pimax has a lot of issues and compromises, at least on all of their headsets that you can buy right now. They overpromise and underdeliver.
@@weepgamer I know lmao, I own one and my friend owns 3. The thing is, if you just disregard all their marketing bs and buy the hmd based on what it actually is or isn't, then the whole "overpromis underdeliver" thing is irrelevant. Do your research before buying stuff. As for all of the issues? The constant issues? I have them :) But despite that, I literally can't bring myself to use any other VR headset. If someone else made headsets with similar specs with better customer support, better quality control, better software etc. I would buy that instead in a heartbeat :) But no one is.
Excellent video. My brother got us a quest 2 recently and I'm gonna take it slow for my next step in VR and thats with the vive cosmos elite kit then get the index controllers as a test to make sure for when I eventually get the index that it arrives etc. :)
That Pavz story reminded me of when I was playing on Blood gulch and I was sneaking to red base through the caves on the side when I ran into an enemy who shot at me with his shotgun... and then realized that gun doesn't really work. I just stopped and talked about "yeah that gun is kinda glitchy right now, you have to basically break your arm to pump it." And a couple more guys from each of out teams just kinda wandered in and just joined the conversation. Then we eventually decided to take the party to the rest of the lobby. One of them started playing music through OVRtoolkit or something and we just ran into the middle of the map and started dancing and shooting into the air to the rhythm untill everyone joined in. We eventually had a mongoose race around the map which I barely won and as a prize got a free cap of the enemy flag. Still have a couple clips from that experience saved. Good times.
Great video, I am excited to get started with VR. My quest 2 arrives this week and I think I made the right choice at-least for value for money. But now I think I will watch the valve index for sales in the future when it comes time to upgrade.
I have a quest and man the update glitches are so annoying , I haven't played vrchat for a week no , ever since I updated it , I didn't even wanna update , so I would ignore it, until quest forced me to update , and that's when I got the wifi glitch error , and it won't let me connect to the wifi, I'm updating to htc , total waste of money , due to all the glitches
"The quality control issues arent common" The trigger of my left controller squeaks like a stained motel matress, also has joystick drift and to top it all off the headsets usb cable is trying to liberate itself from its insulation. thenks velv för quelitee prodükt
Boneworks, Bonelab, Half Life Alyx, Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber, VR Chat, Lone Echo, Battle Talent, Pavlov, Onward, Resident Evil Village VR, Hitman VR, No Man’s Sky, all seem pretty good to me.
Being a heavy VR user with a valve index with 2000 hours in steam VR and 1600+ in VRchat, I have gone through 4 controllers, a base station, and one headset cable. Would I trade my Index for anything else? Not a chance in hell.
I think I have one of those preorder index headsets. had to rma right controller when it started to drift. good service. After 3 years daily usage it start to show wearing. I hope Valve will come new headset pretty soon because I want to reason for upgrade. Hit few time so hard that my hand didn't work but controller was fine. Only time it needed little superglue was when I dropped it to floor with nice angle and trigger broke it's clips.

One of them started playing music through OVRtoolkit or something and we just ran into the middle of the map and started dancing and shooting into the air to the rhythm untill everyone joined in. We eventually had a mongoose race around the map which I barely won and as a prize got a free cap of the enemy flag. Still have a couple clips from that experience saved. Good times.
Great video, I am excited to get started with VR. My quest 2 arrives this week and I think I made the right choice at-least for value for money. But now I think I will watch the valve index for sales in the future when it comes time to upgrade.
I have a quest and man the update glitches are so annoying , I haven't played vrchat for a week no , ever since I updated it , I didn't even wanna update , so I would ignore it, until quest forced me to update , and that's when I got the wifi glitch error , and it won't let me connect to the wifi, I'm updating to htc , total waste of money , due to all the glitches
I love Valve's products, can't wait for their next leaked/rumored Valve Deckard VR headset.
Love the BattleBlock Theater music
Thanks for this video mate
"The quality control issues arent common"
The trigger of my left controller squeaks like a stained motel matress, also has joystick drift and to top it all off the headsets usb cable is trying to liberate itself from its insulation.
thenks velv för quelitee prodükt
"Don't talk about the steam controller"
Why not? Its amazing.
If only there were good VR games out there
Boneworks, Bonelab, Half Life Alyx, Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber, VR Chat, Lone Echo, Battle Talent, Pavlov, Onward, Resident Evil Village VR, Hitman VR, No Man’s Sky, all seem pretty good to me.
This was a very well made video
Looking at getting an Index used, this convinced me, thanks!
Being a heavy VR user with a valve index with 2000 hours in steam VR and 1600+ in VRchat, I have gone through 4 controllers, a base station, and one headset cable. Would I trade my Index for anything else? Not a chance in hell.
I cannot wait to see you blow up, this fucking editing is masterclass and you genuinely deserve the views that yt rationed out to you
I think I have one of those preorder index headsets. had to rma right controller when it started to drift. good service. After 3 years daily usage it start to show wearing. I hope Valve will come new headset pretty soon because I want to reason for upgrade.
Hit few time so hard that my hand didn't work but controller was fine. Only time it needed little superglue was when I dropped it to floor with nice angle and trigger broke it's clips.
I was hyped about vr since 2017. Vids like this one always make me both excited and extremely sad. Good content 👍
Bro called out my whip 😭😭
I'm still surprised Valve hasn't made standalone off ear headphones
