I recently got mine. (Got it on a blackfriday sale at $349 with resident evil 4) I already have an index for my pcvr, sims, DCS. However I use my quest 2 for media consumption, watching videos, netflix and youtube. Lying down in my bed with a huge screen on the ceiling is a game changer. I use a 10ft cable to plug into while watching so battery life isn't an issue . Also using hand gestures instead of the controller for surfing and watching is awesome. The tech in this standalone headset is mindblowing.
I got mines as a suprise on christmas, and I think its great. Some VR enthusiasts that just have absolutely everything might call it really bad, but as a person that has no access to VR otherwise I think it is great.
If your quest 2 is losing charge while off it's either not fully off (in sleep mode) or it's defective. I turn mine off and don't use it for a week and then turn it back on and it's still 100% charge. You have to hold the power button until the power off prompt comes on the screen then select it. if you just click the power button it's the same as turning off your phone screen.
I use my Quest 2 for PCVR, pretty much. If there was a dedicated PCVR quality option for around $600 that had the all around quality to match the price (visuals AND controllers), I would probably own that one instead.
Pretty accurate but a bit incomplete. While not applicable to everybody, it should be mentioned that if you have a VR capable PC, the Quest 2 can also function very adequately as a PCVR headset, and in fact will let you play WIRELESS PCVR right out of the box. Also, yes the battery life could be better, but that's easily resolved by buying a 3rd party headstrap with an external battery, which can double your battery life or more. Yes it costs a few more bucks but if you're playing it that much where 2 hours in a session isn't enough for you then it's a very worthwhile upgrade.
I agree that the Quest 2 can be an adequate PCVR headset but it's no match for a dedicated headset like the Valve Index and after a while you'll get really frustrated with the Quest 2. Personally, I found the following issues: 1) poor tracking, 2) low frames per second, 3) had to restart the headset multiple times, 4) overheating, 5) the controllers EAT batteries like nothing else and the covers are so annoying to remove that I ended up playing with them off!
@@burgerjointgame Hmmm, I wonder if maybe you have a defective unit. I honestly haven't had any of those problems. Framerate could be better in some games I guess, but I can usually hit 90 no problem with high graphics settings (3080), I've had zero tracking issues, and my controller batteries still last around a week with 2yo rechargabiles. Anyway, I'm getting a HP Reverb G2 for Christmas for my sims so I guess I'll see for myself soon :)
Bobovr m2 plus strap w 2 battery pack is a game changer... so comfortable balanced on your head and you can charge a battery pack while playing w another one. Never run out of battery again
Agreed. Although even a new head strap without a battery is an improvement - almost a necessity. I always felt the PSVR is the most comfortable headset because of the way it balances the weight on your head, and I was so annoyed with the Quest 2 strap. Luckily, I found a cheap one on aliexpress and it's so comfortable, although it doesn't have any battery pack.
Great video! I really enjoyed this review of the Oculus Quest 2. It was helpful to hear about your thoughts on its value. It's good to know that it is still a high-quality VR headset in 2022. I appreciate the detailed and unbiased perspective you provided. Thanks for sharing! I've owned a Quest for over a year and it was a huge step up from what I had before, the PSVR, especially in terms of tracking, hand tracking, accuracy, resolution. After a while, I realized, (like everyone) that you can get better performance by plugging it into a PC as you get better graphics and can play better games. I then started to realize all the downsides of the device, like battery life, having to change the controller batteries all the time (why is there no charging port?), overheating, the fact that the frame-rate drops when you increase the resolution, it's bad to record on/with, and it's so ANNOYING having to always recalibrate the floor. This led me to get the Valve Index which is better in every respect and works seamlessly with Steam, unlike the Quest 2. I'd say the Quest 2 is ideal for anyone who doesn't have a PC, it's a fantastic stand-alone device, but it certainly has it's limitations. The best advice I have for anyone who buys one is to get a new headstrap. I found a cheap one on Aliexpress that is almost like the PSVR in terms of comfort and much better than the stock strap.
@@darkprince6543If you don’t have a vr headset yet, the Quest 2 is still worth getting as it’s currently on sale at the moment with 2 games (beat saber and res4) Quest 2 is still gonna be relevant for the next 1 to 2 years or more at least! You can always sell it, upgrade and put money towards the Quest 3 when it’s released if you really wanted to. To be honest, I’m not that impressed by the specifications of the Quest 3. It doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade. It will have pancake lenses and colour pass-through which is good, but will still have the XR2 chip (same as quest 2) No eye and face tracking from what I’ve seen and read which is disappointing and the aesthetics make it look very retro/older then the Quest 2. It will still be the best and cheapest standalone headset with plenty of great content and games library. You won’t go wrong with either the Q2 or Q3 imo. Although, if you are into pcvr gaming, you may want to look at the Pico 4 (it’s direct competitor) If you are wanting to just play standalone vr, Quest2 or 3 will be better.
Just got one for Christmas can honestly say I’m blown away with it I’m a Series X player usually and not so much into VR but I thought I’d give it a go and see how I get on anyway and honestly I absolutely love it RE4 & TWD are class! I’d 100% recommend to anyone who’s never played one before so much fun.
Ong bro im only 15 and from italy but i rly wanted to know if i should save money for 4 months to buy this, let me explain. Since i can't still get a job and i go to school my only way to make money rn is to do the chores and my parents pay me like 25 euros (which are similar to dollars) a week.. so if i wanna get the Oculus i have to wait for 4 months of saving money and thats why im still not sure if i should buy it. Also i haven't got a pc i just have got a nintendo switch from almost 4 years and never had any other console (by not counting the wii lmao). So.. idk if i wasted ur time or smt but i wanted to ask u if i should do this sacrifice for it xD The thing i wanted to ask u is basically what i can expect from it😅. Thanks bro cya, have a nice day
@@off.nico1 dang I should do it if I was you. I get 1.50 money per week and right now I have around 150. So I need to wait a looong time before I can get it. If I could get in in 4 months I would have bought it. But it's your choise. Are you gonna use it often? And are you gonna play games or just watch youtube and stuff. Cuz if you only wanna watch videos on it you can get way cheaper ones especially made for that
@@NinjacatCreative Yea bro im definely gonna wait for that because i've always wanted to have one and i would literally play videogames all the day😂😂 but anyways gl for u too on getting jt😅👍
when I used the quest 2 at a convention they set it up with just a standard battery bank velcroed to the back and it ran the full day with no problemsn I'm about to buy one and I'm planning on the same thing
I have had mine for just over 2 years, with all the updates since then, it's a different headset now. You forgot to mention that you play VR titles on PC wirelessly even, so you get the best from both worlds. Can't wait for Quest 3 to come out.
I think it depends on the types of games you like and how long you can enjoy a game before you get bored of it. I bought two for my boyfriend and I at the beginning of the year before the price increased and the novelty wore off pretty fast. It’s hard to find decent multiplayer games that we both enjoy, and I even struggle to find single player games for just myself. I can’t even link it with with my computer anymore and it’s only 2 years old.
Why can’t connect to computer?? What do you want out of VR ?? I am mostly weapon based vr gamer but whatever you want out of VR I bet I can suggest at least 3 you will like from your description of want
@@wolveraza9896 I don’t know why it suddenly decided to stop working with my computer - earlier this year it did work, but now it won’t. Something about my hardware being suddenly out of date. I don’t have a gaming PC and don’t intend on owning one for the sake of being able to play extra games on my Oculus.
@@bethanyp321 also virtual desktop might help connect to computer again , can return if it doesn’t work although not sure why you need to hook up to non pcvr capable computer but whatever it is VD can prolly help
Pistol whip, beat saber, synth riders, poker vr, trover Saves the Universe, Pavlov shack, smash drums, golf+, demeo are pretty fun games. You have to dig through thr shitty titled and yea dome of them the novelty does wear off
It was originally £400 for the bigger storage then put down in price for bigger storage and done away with the lower one ,giving buyers a chance on getting the bigger storage at the lower storage price ,then meta put the price back up to original price of £400,hoping all would be on higher storage,I bought mine as soon as it was out for £400,was pissed it dropped in price after that,but can see why,more players and developers,it works at the moment.
I want to buy a quest 2 for 5 games -the hitting sim thing -GTag -Baby hands -Amongus -Job simulator Games that I prob won’t play -Superhot (It’s on the Xbox) -Beatsaber (too hard) -Boxing games (probably break something)
I need to know! Is it good for VR pron? Watching stuff in general? Can you play Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR and everything else? Can you play non-VR games "on" it, like use it as a monitor for extra immersion, so you're not seeing the real world in your peripheral? I know it's probably definitely not as good as say, a Valve Index, but can it? Is there anything it can't do? I would just go for the Index but I don't want to buy or upgrade my PC just for VR. I mainly play older games. I might not need to but eh not worth the risk for that kind of money. Thanks.

Hello, Can you recommend the Quest 2 or 3 to me because I am wheelchair bound? I'm going to (once) an Apple Vision Pro later because I'm an Apple enthusiast. But I don't know with that either whether it is useful for wheelchair users, or lying on the bed. I would love to hear from you. Paul
It's still the best bang for the buck. There isn't a cheaper standalone headset out there. Most require additional equipment like the Sony which require as PS 4 or 5 and the latest headset from Sony was announced at over $500. Figure in the cost of the PS5 and you're around $1000. Valve's set is also close to $1000 and you need a pc. The others are way more expensive than the Quest and the Pico is owned by Bytedance which plays pretty loose with personal information going to the Chinese government. As much as I really dislike Meta, at least it's a domestic company.
Not to mention that if you decided that you wanted a Pico. You're thousands of miles away from the nearest server. Your experience would be absolutely terrible as the end user. Just not worth it all around.
Yes, I agree - for a standalone VR headset the Quest 2 is unbeatable. I found it a huge improvement over the PSvR (1) in every area like tracking and hand tracking. The only downside is the Quest 2 is uncomfortable and really needs an aftermarket headstrap. I bought a cheap one from aliexpress and it makes the Quest 2 just as comfortable as the PSVR.
Just ordered it! I chose quest 2 over pico4 (even with the better hardware, apparently) because of the Quest exclusive games! I'm hoping this is worth the higher price point! Excited to get it :)
I hate facebook, but the price hike is due to the drive space. I bought one on launch years ago for $249, but it's only 64 gig. You can't even buy this model any longer. While it's a downside, there is really no competing headset on the market that can offer stand-alone and tethered VR like the quest. It's still an insane value. Being able to wirelessly stream PCVR to the quest is just icing on the proverbial cake. I played though Half Life: Alyx completely untethered and it was amazing. I kinda feel like you're selling this headset a bit short by not mentioning these capabilities.
Are people still getting wrongly banned for bogus reasons making it a brick? Also how's the tracking? Will my hands fly away from me if i get to low like beatsaber on psvr?
I won mine at a Christmas drawing at work. I am an old bastard so maybe I am just get as excited about this stuff, but I would never pay $399 for this. It is interesting, but as he mentioned in the review, the battery life is ridiculously short. Barely enough to watch a movie. If you have money to throw away then maybe it is worth the experience. I just might end up selling mine.
Lucky you! I think everyone has an issue with battery life. You can buy aftermarket head straps with battery packs if you want more battery life and they are much more comfortable than the standard strap. The really annoying thing is the controller battery covers - they are so difficult to remove every time you want to change the batteries and the controllers don't have charging ports or anything. Before selling it, I'd highly recommend you try some apps that let you explore the world, like take VR trips, create art, etc. You don't just have to stick with RUclips and kids games, VR art is really fun!
That may just be yours, mine is pretty well at keeping battery life. Although, you may be able to find an extension to the battery life on amazon, and or plug it into a pc, which provides infinite battery life.
your battery problem is your fault. you don't turn off the headset, you just put it to sleep. it doesn't eat the battery at all when it's fully switched off, and it's still the same charged state for me even after a 2-month break
I tried vr at an arcade for the first time doing beat saber and it really made me want a vr even more. I do worry about getting it for one game as it can burn fast but games with music tend to deteriorate slower.
@FooGaawz it's a fun system but debating getting it and whether it is getting used to its full potential, not just buying it for one thing then once you get burnt out of that game it becomes useless
Well, you don't have to leave it in sleep mode. You can power it down by holding the power button for 5 seconds. Secondly, vanilla quest 2 is trash. For about 60 dollars you can upgrade it into a more premium headset. Better head strap, extra battery bank that can extend its life up to 6-7 hours, and controller straps like the index's. The quest 2 is not only worth it, but the only standalone headset worth buying in the US right now. Not to mention that you can literally just link it to your PC for the high end experience. Because of its high resolution and regresh rates. There really is no question about it. If you want a real VR experience without breaking bank or making compromises on the specs. Quest 2 is the only answer, and will be for the next couple of years. As the quest 3 is going to be between 5-600 US dollars, so.
I just sold my Meta Quest 2 for the Pico 4. I know the Pico 4 doesn't have much right now, but the potential seems great. For the future of the Pico 4 i can imagine a world of modding and using it for PCVR makes it even better. The hardware is just plain better on the Pico 4. In my opinion that makes the Pico 4 superior! I didn't have any games for my Quest 2 because i used PCVR ALL the time. So this makes my decision easy
Not a fan of standalone headsets. Those XR2 chips are way behind console and PC and has literally moved devs from making good games away from PCVR. The Quest took VR game development backwards a couple generations.
It really didn't. Gaming is an afterthought in the long run. VR gaming will always be niche for a lot of reasons. The standalone headset falls pretty low on that list. The more attainable segment of this market lies within the realm of productivity and desktop replacement. Up the res, drop the weight, and integrate the workspace. Devs don't develop for VR because the tech isn't there to develop. Alyx, the single best game in VR. While visually stunning. Is still just a point shoot carnival game. The movement is clunky and let's face it. The real reason that VR gaming is a dead end. It just not immersive enough. Think about it. The most popular games in VR either have you standing still and doing something very simple. Or is oriented around socializing. Which has very little to do with haptic feedback. VR isn't there yet. It will be some day. But, right now. We may as well be calling this the Atari quest 2. Because that is what it is comparatively.
We need games like Skyrim that offer massive open worlds to explore, or a game like Shadows of Doubt that let you explore the world to search for clues in a mystery. Most VR games seem to just be shooters or beat 'em ups, and that puts a lot of people off.
So i got the black friday bundle $350 but i hate it because it doesnt fit. Feels like it was made for little kids, i also wear glasses.. got the oculus link to play pcvr and thats kinda fun but resolution is really bad. Ive been thinkin about psvr 2 but i heard it doesnt work for pc and needs the ps5 to work. Kind of a bummer but the resolution is supposed to be a lot better? Should i keep my quest or sell it?
I want to but the meta quest 2 it’s 350 euros but I want insurance so if it breaks then I can get a new one and the total is gonna be then 429,98 euros Im sure I won’t get it :/
Its a bit fun that back when this video released 399 was much for a vr headset, but now we have the quest 3 at around a whopping 599-699(don't really remember but it was something like that)
@@Ghillie_Beast_yt Depends, quest 3 has better graphics and cameras etc, but the quest 2 is cheaper and still has pretty good graphics and you can get almost every game you can get on the quest 3.
Got my meta quest 2 for a bday gift a few days ago. Im not a big vr guy but i love beat saber, supet hot, and re4 so for me it is more than enough for that. Like that i dont have to have it tethered to my ps5 for the few games i will play.
I really hate when I just get something and then these types of videos come to roll 😭 This has happened to me in multiple occasions such as: My mom finally buying me a fidget spinner just when it became old And when my mom got me light up shoes juts when they were starting to call it cringe 💀
For my opinion, Im gonna wait for the oculus quest 3. Its coming out in 2023. I have never bought a VR and always wanted it since 2020. Im excited to get my vr :)
I mean it’ll still be about a year ‘til the Quest 3, and the Quest 2 is going on sale tomorrow up until Black Friday. There’s no harm in waiting another year but the Quest 2 is still the best value in VR even today.
@@juneru2 Yeah, I read about the Black Friday thing today. You also get 2 popular games for free. I hear the Quest 3 could "start" at $500, and possibly the main differentiator is that it'll support AR (which is cool but I'm in it for the VR). I'll prob pull the trigger on the Quest 2. :)
@@sqatergs It was on at least Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. I got it at Target because it is close to pick up. It was a one day only sale. But probably in a few days from now (real black Friday) there will be another deal. Edit: Target was a one day deal, but it's still a deal on Amazon and in stock at the time of this post!
He said he had a little bit of dizziness but after a few minutes of playing it wore off . Lol it took a week before I stop feeling like I had to vomit 😂😂 my head was swinging for hours my first time
hey man just wanted to suggest that its better to have your mic behind the camera and not holding it with your hands and maybe hold the quest 2 instead! it will look better for the videos and it just doesnt look right when your holding that mic.
Yep, meta software is insanely buggy and breaks all the time. The more i use it the more bugs i find. For something they have been working for so long its in an embarrassing state, both the occulus app and quest 2 os are way more buggy than Steam VR.
The price of the games are far to high in my opinion. The graphics quality of most games are laughable. Most games you stand there swinging your arms around like a lunatic. Wheres the fun in that. Tut tut!!!!
My 26 year-old grandson was here for Christmas and he has one. I've always wanted to try VR but he said the technology just isn't there yet. We were playing our 15 year-old Wii on a new 70"4K Sony TV, and he said it was still way better than what Doogie Zuckerberg has for sale. Guess I'll stick with good old "reality" reality.

@@wolveraza9896 I don’t know why it suddenly decided to stop working with my computer - earlier this year it did work, but now it won’t. Something about my hardware being suddenly out of date. I don’t have a gaming PC and don’t intend on owning one for the sake of being able to play extra games on my Oculus.
@@bethanyp321 ok there is plenty on quest , what you like ??
@@bethanyp321 also virtual desktop might help connect to computer again , can return if it doesn’t work although not sure why you need to hook up to non pcvr capable computer but whatever it is VD can prolly help
Pistol whip, beat saber, synth riders, poker vr, trover Saves the Universe, Pavlov shack, smash drums, golf+, demeo are pretty fun games. You have to dig through thr shitty titled and yea dome of them the novelty does wear off
I got it when it frist came out. About 2 years ago, and it still work as good as it did the day i got it
This was a very well done video. Figured you had like hundreds of thousands of subs. Shocked you only have like 400. But you’ll get there bro
It was originally £400 for the bigger storage then put down in price for bigger storage and done away with the lower one ,giving buyers a chance on getting the bigger storage at the lower storage price ,then meta put the price back up to original price of £400,hoping all would be on higher storage,I bought mine as soon as it was out for £400,was pissed it dropped in price after that,but can see why,more players and developers,it works at the moment.
Quest2 still holds it I think, 400 is still chip for all the entertaiment offered
I want to buy a quest 2 for 5 games
-the hitting sim thing
-GTag
-Baby hands
-Amongus
-Job simulator
Games that I prob won’t play
-Superhot (It’s on the Xbox)
-Beatsaber (too hard)
-Boxing games (probably break something)
I can’t believe you only have 800 subs because the quality of the vid is amazing 🗿
I need to know! Is it good for VR pron? Watching stuff in general? Can you play Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR and everything else? Can you play non-VR games "on" it, like use it as a monitor for extra immersion, so you're not seeing the real world in your peripheral? I know it's probably definitely not as good as say, a Valve Index, but can it? Is there anything it can't do? I would just go for the Index but I don't want to buy or upgrade my PC just for VR. I mainly play older games. I might not need to but eh not worth the risk for that kind of money. Thanks.
Not sure if you have heard of it but have you looked into the battery bank strap? It gives my oculus about a other 2 to 3 hours. Totes worth getting
Bobovr m2 plus strap w 2 battery pack is a game changer... so comfortable balanced on your head and you can charge a battery pack while playing w another one. Never run out of battery again
Hello, Can you recommend the Quest 2 or 3 to me because I am wheelchair bound? I'm going to (once) an Apple Vision Pro later because I'm an Apple enthusiast. But I don't know with that either whether it is useful for wheelchair users, or lying on the bed. I would love to hear from you. Paul
thx so much for this review bc I didn't know if it was good so thx
It's still the best bang for the buck. There isn't a cheaper standalone headset out there. Most require additional equipment like the Sony which require as PS 4 or 5 and the latest headset from Sony was announced at over $500. Figure in the cost of the PS5 and you're around $1000. Valve's set is also close to $1000 and you need a pc. The others are way more expensive than the Quest and the Pico is owned by Bytedance which plays pretty loose with personal information going to the Chinese government.
As much as I really dislike Meta, at least it's a domestic company.
Not to mention that if you decided that you wanted a Pico. You're thousands of miles away from the nearest server. Your experience would be absolutely terrible as the end user. Just not worth it all around.
+ at the moment pico software is bad
@@FlockofSmeagles And the fact that US won't have it, meaning you are pretty much stuck with Meta or PCVR headsets.
@@DeterminedTorres Well, we can have them here. It just not worth importing them here. That was kind of my point.
Yes, I agree - for a standalone VR headset the Quest 2 is unbeatable. I found it a huge improvement over the PSvR (1) in every area like tracking and hand tracking. The only downside is the Quest 2 is uncomfortable and really needs an aftermarket headstrap. I bought a cheap one from aliexpress and it makes the Quest 2 just as comfortable as the PSVR.
Just ordered it! I chose quest 2 over pico4 (even with the better hardware, apparently) because of the Quest exclusive games! I'm hoping this is worth the higher price point! Excited to get it :)
What are some of the Quest exclusive games?
I hate facebook, but the price hike is due to the drive space. I bought one on launch years ago for $249, but it's only 64 gig. You can't even buy this model any longer.
While it's a downside, there is really no competing headset on the market that can offer stand-alone and tethered VR like the quest. It's still an insane value. Being able to wirelessly stream PCVR to the quest is just icing on the proverbial cake. I played though Half Life: Alyx completely untethered and it was amazing. I kinda feel like you're selling this headset a bit short by not mentioning these capabilities.
Are people still getting wrongly banned for bogus reasons making it a brick? Also how's the tracking? Will my hands fly away from me if i get to low like beatsaber on psvr?
I won mine at a Christmas drawing at work. I am an old bastard so maybe I am just get as excited about this stuff, but I would never pay $399 for this. It is interesting, but as he mentioned in the review, the battery life is ridiculously short. Barely enough to watch a movie. If you have money to throw away then maybe it is worth the experience. I just might end up selling mine.
Lucky you! I think everyone has an issue with battery life. You can buy aftermarket head straps with battery packs if you want more battery life and they are much more comfortable than the standard strap. The really annoying thing is the controller battery covers - they are so difficult to remove every time you want to change the batteries and the controllers don't have charging ports or anything. Before selling it, I'd highly recommend you try some apps that let you explore the world, like take VR trips, create art, etc. You don't just have to stick with RUclips and kids games, VR art is really fun!
Just plug it to your PC while you play. Provided your PC has the option!
That may just be yours, mine is pretty well at keeping battery life. Although, you may be able to find an extension to the battery life on amazon, and or plug it into a pc, which provides infinite battery life.
@@burgerjointgame I agree its a whole another experience
You gotta keep it for the porn alone is worth it 💋
I mostly use mine for watching videos and I use Bigroom a lot.
your battery problem is your fault. you don't turn off the headset, you just put it to sleep. it doesn't eat the battery at all when it's fully switched off, and it's still the same charged state for me even after a 2-month break
I tried vr at an arcade for the first time doing beat saber and it really made me want a vr even more. I do worry about getting it for one game as it can burn fast but games with music tend to deteriorate slower.
what the hell are you talking about?
@FooGaawz it's a fun system but debating getting it and whether it is getting used to its full potential, not just buying it for one thing then once you get burnt out of that game it becomes useless
Well, you don't have to leave it in sleep mode. You can power it down by holding the power button for 5 seconds. Secondly, vanilla quest 2 is trash. For about 60 dollars you can upgrade it into a more premium headset. Better head strap, extra battery bank that can extend its life up to 6-7 hours, and controller straps like the index's.
The quest 2 is not only worth it, but the only standalone headset worth buying in the US right now. Not to mention that you can literally just link it to your PC for the high end experience. Because of its high resolution and regresh rates. There really is no question about it. If you want a real VR experience without breaking bank or making compromises on the specs. Quest 2 is the only answer, and will be for the next couple of years. As the quest 3 is going to be between 5-600 US dollars, so.

The battery issue is just your device defective, mine will hold the charge after 3-4 weeks for sure
I just sold my Meta Quest 2 for the Pico 4. I know the Pico 4 doesn't have much right now, but the potential seems great. For the future of the Pico 4 i can imagine a world of modding and using it for PCVR makes it even better. The hardware is just plain better on the Pico 4. In my opinion that makes the Pico 4 superior! I didn't have any games for my Quest 2 because i used PCVR ALL the time. So this makes my decision easy
you can mod on quest 2

Not a fan of standalone headsets. Those XR2 chips are way behind console and PC and has literally moved devs from making good games away from PCVR. The Quest took VR game development backwards a couple generations.
It really didn't. Gaming is an afterthought in the long run. VR gaming will always be niche for a lot of reasons. The standalone headset falls pretty low on that list. The more attainable segment of this market lies within the realm of productivity and desktop replacement. Up the res, drop the weight, and integrate the workspace. Devs don't develop for VR because the tech isn't there to develop. Alyx, the single best game in VR. While visually stunning. Is still just a point shoot carnival game. The movement is clunky and let's face it. The real reason that VR gaming is a dead end. It just not immersive enough.
Think about it. The most popular games in VR either have you standing still and doing something very simple. Or is oriented around socializing. Which has very little to do with haptic feedback. VR isn't there yet. It will be some day. But, right now. We may as well be calling this the Atari quest 2. Because that is what it is comparatively.
@@FlockofSmeagles ITS CALLED ASSETO CORSA VR..THATS ENOUGH FOR ME
Bruh, it literally did the opposite. Stand-alone Vr headsets is what’s pushing Vr forward and making it consumer friendly
We need games like Skyrim that offer massive open worlds to explore, or a game like Shadows of Doubt that let you explore the world to search for clues in a mystery. Most VR games seem to just be shooters or beat 'em ups, and that puts a lot of people off.
So i got the black friday bundle $350 but i hate it because it doesnt fit. Feels like it was made for little kids, i also wear glasses.. got the oculus link to play pcvr and thats kinda fun but resolution is really bad. Ive been thinkin about psvr 2 but i heard it doesnt work for pc and needs the ps5 to work. Kind of a bummer but the resolution is supposed to be a lot better? Should i keep my quest or sell it?
I'm stuck on PSVR and can't wait to get a quest 2! I'm not sure whether or not I will get it now
I want to but the meta quest 2 it’s 350 euros but I want insurance so if it breaks then I can get a new one and the total is gonna be then 429,98 euros Im sure I won’t get it :/
I Jailbroke mine to get any pc steam vr and oculus games and apps Along with playing with a 15 foot charger it’s been amazing
I love your content keep up the good work.
Its a bit fun that back when this video released 399 was much for a vr headset, but now we have the quest 3 at around a whopping 599-699(don't really remember but it was something like that)
Does the quest 3 make the quest 2 more worth it?
@@Ghillie_Beast_yt Depends, quest 3 has better graphics and cameras etc, but the quest 2 is cheaper and still has pretty good graphics and you can get almost every game you can get on the quest 3.
@GGLVIGG0 I just bought the quest 2 and it's definitely worth it even though it came before the 3
We need more games on meta
Is great for simulator, airplane and car games
Got my meta quest 2 for a bday gift a few days ago. Im not a big vr guy but i love beat saber, supet hot, and re4 so for me it is more than enough for that. Like that i dont have to have it tethered to my ps5 for the few games i will play.

@@argeltalthecustodiankiller6552 No, other than initial set up of your headset. The app on your phone is pretty much just a companion app
Should I get a oculus quest 2 or a meta quest 2 or are they the same thing?
it's the same, they changed the name because the company was bought by meta
I’ve never owned a meta quest, but I have played in one, I played a lot of VR Chat
They are cheap i see used quest 2 selling for like 65 bucks on marketplace
I really hate when I just get something and then these types of videos come to roll 😭
This has happened to me in multiple occasions such as:
My mom finally buying me a fidget spinner just when it became old
And when my mom got me light up shoes juts when they were starting to call it cringe 💀
For my opinion, Im gonna wait for the oculus quest 3. Its coming out in 2023. I have never bought a VR and always wanted it since 2020. Im excited to get my vr :)
Even though the meta quest 2 and 3 are gonna be the same, Im still gonna wait for the 3 because it comes out in 5 months (Maybe)

I'm not sure if I should get this now (2 yr old device) or wait maybe a year for Quest 3.
I mean it’ll still be about a year ‘til the Quest 3, and the Quest 2 is going on sale tomorrow up until Black Friday. There’s no harm in waiting another year but the Quest 2 is still the best value in VR even today.
@@juneru2 Yeah, I read about the Black Friday thing today. You also get 2 popular games for free. I hear the Quest 3 could "start" at $500, and possibly the main differentiator is that it'll support AR (which is cool but I'm in it for the VR). I'll prob pull the trigger on the Quest 2. :)
@@JBuchmann what? where is the sale about you are talking? i didn't see the sale on meta website. Only a promotion that gives you beat saber for free

Switch lasting a week in sleep is bad. You may have killed the battery by not keeping it plugged in.

hey man just wanted to suggest that its better to have your mic behind the camera and not holding it with your hands and maybe hold the quest 2 instead! it will look better for the videos and it just doesnt look right when your holding that mic.

What kind of question is this of course it is
The price of the games are far to high in my opinion. The graphics quality of most games are laughable. Most games you stand there swinging your arms around like a lunatic. Wheres the fun in that. Tut tut!!!!
My 26 year-old grandson was here for Christmas and he has one. I've always wanted to try VR but he said the technology just isn't there yet. We were playing our 15 year-old Wii on a new 70"4K Sony TV, and he said it was still way better than what Doogie Zuckerberg has for sale. Guess I'll stick with good old "reality" reality.

Because different things appeal to different people?
