@imbad33 Not a ton of folks, but it definitely happens. Most folks aren't too keen on a device that makes them projectile vomit on their carpet. And 'try something sit down first' is advice that seems to go over folk's heads.
I can see it happening if they use echo vr and make the mistake of turning on smooth rotation and all axis turning. Other than that I don’t really get how people get motion sick
@@deanosauree same reason people get car sick. Your eyes detect movement but your ears don't. This confuses your brain and it basically reacts as if you've been poisoned, which is why you throw up when it gets too bad.

I know the Wii was great for senior citizens in nursing homes and retirement centers because it kept them active and gave them some fun activities to look forward too. Now that the Wii is being phased out, hopefully things like the Quest 2 can fill the same niche. I was able to pretty quickly teach my grandma how to use it and she's someone who barely knows how to use a smartphone. Although she gets scared by things flying at her.
I think anything motion crontrolled is much easier for older folks to learn. The controls are just super intuitive . Playing a tennis game? move the controller like a racket. boxing? punch the air. You do everything the way you would in a real life situation, as opposed to learning which button does what. Which can be supper overwhelming for new users.
I remember making my own PC VR with a google cardboard and a couple phones. That ran in Black and white, and at 15-30 fps. At this point, I'm convinced I have Motion sickness immunity.
Here is a suggestion for cardboard Pcvr I reckon it would work well if you use iPhone 12 - 13 since iPhone 12 is an equivalent of normal PS4 so you be able to play at 30-60 FPS Controller will be a tricky one I reckon a Wii controller would work or a phone and Kinetic camera
I looked into getting a Quest 2 about 2 months ago, and your videos have helped a ton. It arrived a few days ago and I love it! Thanks for making all these videos for us, they're a life saver.

Personally, I still think the stock strap for my Quest 2 is just fine once you dial it in.

Or too young, either. I feel like Meta should allow users to create a Oculus account without having facebook, and they can starting from 10 years old. (Like Rec Room) maybe add parental controls to disable voice chat, and not collect data from under 13 users. Of course, facebook would never do this.

When getting my quest 2 I was super worried about Facebook banning me for no reason before realizing that doesn’t happen as often as people make it seem
damn i guess im one of the more rare ones i havent gotten motion sick ever, though i did used t go on the tire swing and spin on it till i almost passed out of motion sickness so idk maybe it is because of that.
I was thinking the same too, I didn't get motion sickness from VR the first time and I used to vomit as a Kid when travelling in a Car for long periods of time. So I had the concept that it's because of what we did as children that makes us immune to Motion Sickness
CONGRATULATIONS DYLAN 🎉 You have won the Synth Riders key! Please respond to me here or over on your channel discussion page with an email for me to send the key to! 😀
For real...I got hella nauseous the very first time. I took it off for 15 minutes and was like "That was sick, let's try it again!" It faded away after the third day, and now I rarely feel it anymore.
The only problem i had with the quest when i first tried it was me still thinking i was in the VR even with the headset off lol ive seen other comments who said this happened to them too and i thought it was funny that i had experienced it aswell
Never had this but my brain did freak out while playing AimXR. One minute I was shooting people and getting shot to death myself, the next second I'm back at work with my friends taking turns with my Quest. Bad graphics or not, the brain is easily fooled.
Same bro like ok yea I played vr chat but some worlds in vr chat kind of got to you it sure did for my cousin and he said no let's play a different game
I have the same thing happen with my PSVR except it's even more extreme, I don't get immersed at all... Not even slightly, I could get flung 100s of feet into the air and feel nothing more than I would staring at someone getting shot into the air on a television screen. Also the screen door effect with PSVR is just insane. I don't know why I don't get immersed at all either, I mean my family freak out at the same things that leave me feeling so underwhelmed. I can't even remember the last time I used the PSVR, hell I can't remember where I put the PSVR that's how little I care for it. Honestly I still want an original HTC Vive if nothing more than to keep as a memento since it was the first VR headset I ever used and the only one I actually felt immersed while using, of course when I tried the Oculus Rift I only had like 5 minutes so I barely even got to try out anything and I felt nothing while playing that mountain climbing game even when looking down at the ground 100s of feet below me, it was all such a massive disappointment and I just wish I had a way to try a VR headset again so I could know whether the PSVR and my brief experience with the Oculus Rift were flukes or if my amazing experience with the HTC Vive was the fluke and VR actually sucks in general!! God I just want to try VR again because ever since that oculus rift demo all I've been left with are questions, questions I can't answer because my family can't afford a VR headset meaning every time I think about VR I constantly have all these thoughts bouncing around my head.
The myth about needing the one with more storage cracks me up. When I bought my Quest 2, I showed my friend and he got one the next day but he got the one with 256gb thinking he needed it. I even showed him how much storage I have left after all of the games I've installed. He admitted he should have used the extra money for a case and accessories like I did.
@@PunakiviAddikti That's pretty weird. I just did a quick Google search and the biggest game taking up the most space is "Saints and Sinners", which takes up only 8gb of storage.
i personally have to charge my oculus near my window, so i put my sleep mask over the lenses while its charging to prevent damage. a bit stupid but,, hey it workz!
most craziest myth is definitely the “boomers can’t use VR” for two reasons. 1) im basically a boomer myself 2) this was actually my answer in the stream :)
these videos are so helpful! as a new ish quest user myself, i find that ive learnt much more in just a few minutes of watching your videos than i ever would have just guessing around and hoping for the best. and on top of that, youre really fun to listen to. keep up the good work!
I’ve never been motion sick and my first 5 times playing vr was with smooth locomotion, web swinging, a pokey bit of plastic on my nose, and a five year old screaming.
Same. I've only been motion sick once in my life after riding an amusement park ride. Still didn't throw up but felt like crap. I can be on a boat with crazy waves and not even be fazed.
Luckily when I purchased the Oculus Quest 1 along with Half Life Alyx, I knew to expect intense motion sickness at first. The best way to remedy this is to ween yourself into with small play times at first. I can say it's not something that you get used to fast, and can liken it to getting used to driving a car. Its different, but definitely possible to start pulling off crazy shit once you're used to the motion of virtual environments.
To be honest, I am one of very few which didn't get motion sickness (With a PSVR as well), however I did have something that really rocked my world and was an insanely weird but also funny feeling. Which is HangoVeR (VR Hangover), basically my hand would feel like it would go through the phone or my vision would start to readjust itself for some reason as if I'm still playing VR lol Weirdest experience ever, had it for a week straight.
How the hell is it not accessible? WE HAVE EYES... (I am Gen-X but same principle, I work in VR an average of 12 hours a day.. ..) ANYWAYS, 'BOOMERS' INVENTED VR. Over and Over and Over again 'till it stuck. Just like 3D photography, (which was invented over 100 years ago actually..)
I’ve had the quest 2 for about 3 weeks and to be honest in MY OPINION the default head strap works fine for me however, it does get somewhat uncomfortable.
Personally I have never gotten motion sick and I got my quest 2 a month back now for Christmas and I am happy that I have been able to enjoy games that may induce ya know motion sickness
Love your vids, I am a 56 yr old VR user, have Oculus 1 and 2 - I love tech more than most, from the pong games to now. The myths surrounding VR are astounding. The feeling I get in VR is akin to the beginning of the pc age pre windows, its going to be massive and the reason that it is not mainstream is it is in fact in its infancy. I hope I live another 20 years, as come on, we all know things are going to go crazy with VR and I just wanna see it : peace.
I got the quest 2 for my bday back in March and to be honest this is an amazing start to vr and I have the 250 gig version and I can’t wait to get a pc to start recording
Lmao same! I got motion sick at the end of the walking dead saints and sinners tutorial but it was probably from hours of prior play. I'm excited to get back on it and play today
Just wanted to say thank you for clarifying the ‘wait for quest 3’ and ‘rift s is better’ myths, i was thinking of going with the quest 2 but wasn’t certain, now i am. Thanks for the great content
If you enjoy the VR experience, i would recommend moving to a wired PC headset like the Index or vive later down the line as they have better tracking, resolution, and frame rates if you have a pc to back them up.
@@phantomcatxd7637 you need power connection trident cable and the 2 other ones so you need 4 and the setup for a vive or index is way harder to do then a quest 2
you guys over react about the stock headstrap imo. Ive had my quest 2 for about a month, getting it from 100 percent charge to 10 percent charge daily, and i havent really had any problems with the headstrap.
yeah I got mine 6 mouth ago and I have short hairs the stock strap us really good you just need to take 5 min to adjust the strap tips : don't forget to adust the rotable parts attached on the headset on the sides it will be more confort
The headstrap is about as good as some of the better cardboard/daydream headstraps. Not terrible, but not great compared to the CV1. I can use the stock headstrap alright, but the extra padding I added to mine is still a night-and-day improvement.
i haven't tried a better strap yet, i find the standard strap totally good enough for having some fun. However, when i play synth riders intensely, the hmd starts to wobble, ruining the alignment and making the image blurry. Tightening the strap would have fixed it, but then these plastic bits begin to dig into my skull, so i can't play for long. I'm sure i'll get some better strap eventually.
I think the biggest reason why people complain about the default strap is because they have it WAAAAAAAAY too tight. I use the default headstrap also and tbh, its good enough. Could it be better? Yea, but really it could be ALOT worse.
I had always heard people either getting motion sick or a headache after first trying a proper vr headset but when i eventually tried my cousins quest 2 i was shocked to find that i was completely fine, even when i used the flying gauntlets in gorn to launch myself into the sky i was completely fine, overall it was the greatest thing I’ve ever done and now i want a headset even more
ive never been motion sick like ive spinned 1 million times in gorilla tag to flex on people and ive even TRIED to become motion sick but ive never been able to :/
As an owner of both a rift s and quest 2, i tend to still stick with my rift s for pcvr. Crank the ss up to 1.5. Link is miles better than it was even a few months ago, but it certainly isnt without its hiccups. A lot of games run perfect but try stormland, the climb, or even hla at times and you will see the link isnt up to worry free pcvr. Rift s for me is just dependable, where everytime i try the link i feel like i need to have the performance hud up to start with.
So in your opinion the Rift S is in some ways better than the Quest 2 for PCVR and not objectively worse at everything than the Quest 2. Thanks for debunking. :-)
Use virtual desktop instead of air link and a good wifi 6 router like the asus ax-55 and there is no problems I don't have any stutters and the resolution looks amazing
Thinking always experiencing motion sickness when playing VR for the first time is what is what is thought when i first got my Quest 2 but is played because the experience is so beautiful. I think this is the biggest myth.
It took me about 2-3 hours to get motion sick after I first got a quest 1 (granted my friend also had one and I had used it before) but it wasn’t that bad and I stopped getting motion sick for the most part after my second time using it for a while but I did get motion sick after I used it for about 7 hours straight once
Thank you for getting rid of my hesitation for getting a quest 2 when i know a quest 3 is in the works, it won't be hard to resell the old headset for the new later
Alright, probably a dumb question but I’m new to all of this, how would I change my name if already set? I don’t use Facebook for anything other than my quest 2 and I just got my quest 2 so I don’t know how to do anything with it
I brought an oculus quest 2 like 2 months ago an I have 128 gigs they game me more idk why but they did and I haven’t used half of it it’s a great vr headset if you have a bad laptop or of like me that can’t us pcvr but it’s amazing bye it’s self
So if you buy a quest 2 but you’re not 13 u get banned? My friend Who’s 12 and pretty mature recently got one for new years (he got it today) But hes scared to make a account as he now knows he needs to be 13 Is there a possibility to make a account if ur not 13 But use your real birth date?
I never got motion sick from VR... Even my first time playing Beat Saber my friends mom made me get off and drink water to insure I didn't get motion sick I just never got sick and can play for 5 hours straight and only feel the back of the head set push into my skull
I used my quest 2s original head strap for over a year until it literally broke on me but it was not the worst mostly because I used quest 1 head strap for 2 years and that was the worst head strap I ever used
Man I was SUPER scared the first time I got my quest 2. I really thought I was gonna get banned from Zuck. 7 months with a quest 2 and still not banned :D
Its still usable. No high functioning computer needed. Gives you access to sidequest and mods. And no, you dont need to stay connected after installing mods. I play custom beat saber songs all the time wirelessly thanks to the link cable.
@@dagambinottv Np! Just be careful when setting up mods. It may be difficult to follow. But its doable. Once I finished, I never had to go back to using the link cable for beat saber. I just load up BMBF and find songs that I want and synch to my modded beatsaber. All wirelessly! Good luck 👍
@@myguitartwerks7825 You can use any USB-C cable, I even think the charging cable that comes with it is fine, at least my Motorola charging cable worked for me, didn't have to buy anything, especially since it doesn't have to be fast if you're gonna be running the games on the Quest, not your PC, anyway.
For Christmas i was so pumped to get an oculus, then christmas came around my parents got me a vive pro 2. i barley met the minimum requirements and within 1 month the link box broke. instead of buying me a 600 dollar oculus AUD they gave me the wireless extension 800 dollars AUD im still sad.. EDIT: Everything good now, i used my syscoin and bought an quest 2
Just want to share my experience the first 3 days with the Quest 2. I tried VR before but not for too long a few years ago. Bought a Quest 2. Installed Half Life Alyx and started to play. All went fine, I was amazed with the detail of the game and the freedoms to move, grab, take and throw things but in a ment I moved forward to a desk and the characters for an unknown reason went on it. The camera moved fast and that's caused me "motion sickness". I removed the headset, and stopped to play. The next day I woke up and I feel like I will fall anytime IRL, that thing caused a very dope effect in my brain. I put the headset again and it feels more stable than IRL. Hope this feelings goes away soon, it's very weird.
After a week of that experience I was able to play almost any game without motion sickness or any weird symptom. So if you are in the same situation as me in the past, keep trying. Eventually your brain will adapt to that. I have to say that it increased my reaction time and body coordination. Too much beat saber.
The boomer myth is obsurd, I'm young and had a very engaging conversation with a 69 year old man on pokerstars. (Yes, he was actually 69) but he was incredibly nice! Large age gap too.
Technically the safety guide for the quest 2 strongly recomends users to avoid using the device outside because sunlight exposure to the external cameras can damage them. They're still little lenses that are capable of bending beams of light and magnifying the rays. It's a length of exposure concern though, going outside with it for a little while isn't going to result in imediate damage, but if left exposed for a proloinged period it can and probably will, under direct exposure.
“The Rift S is a better headset” I’m planning on getting a Quest 2 this week and let me say, the Quest 2 has better graphics, and can still process the same level as the Rift S if you have the right pc.
With that waiting for quest 3 thing you can't go off of how many people are talking about it, just look at iphones, right as one comes out in a week they are talking about the next but then that one won't come out for a year or 2.
I have been playing with the oculus for about a year and a half for long periods of time and I still think the official head strap is fine. Also I have very short hair
Definitely not anti boomer, my dad was obsessed after his first beat saber session😂
Same he played easy and thought he was the best I went on expert and missed 1 😂
My mom also Was like that
My mum gets mad at me when i beat her beat saber high score
My parents were against it until they tried it
My mom was
The part that REALLY shocked me a lot was that people freakin RETURN their headset the second they get motion sick, like what!?!

When getting my quest 2 I was super worried about Facebook banning me for no reason before realizing that doesn’t happen as often as people make it seem
ikr that was my biggest concern
As long as you arent sharing conservative articles, you will be on the safe side.
Same, especially since i got it the day i turned 13, i thought they would think i was sus or something
I was worried for a bit, but just do it correctly and it should be ok
@wolf harrington they were talking about the people getting bricked
damn i guess im one of the more rare ones i havent gotten motion sick ever, though i did used t go on the tire swing and spin on it till i almost passed out of motion sickness so idk maybe it is because of that.
I was thinking the same too, I didn't get motion sickness from VR the first time and I used to vomit as a Kid when travelling in a Car for long periods of time. So I had the concept that it's because of what we did as children that makes us immune to Motion Sickness
I was flying threw the air as an monkey And I didn’t puke
@@Iris_n_Parti - yes. People who grew up on boats for example what get sea sick. same thing applies.
thank you for the entertainment, i watched this during school.
The part that put me in disbelief the most was that people would return their Oculus just because they got motion sickness once.
CONGRATULATIONS DYLAN 🎉
You have won the Synth Riders key!
Please respond to me here or over on your channel discussion page with an email for me to send the key to! 😀
@YaBoyLloyd I mean.. you’re not wrong
For real...I got hella nauseous the very first time. I took it off for 15 minutes and was like "That was sick, let's try it again!" It faded away after the third day, and now I rarely feel it anymore.
The only problem i had with the quest when i first tried it was me still thinking i was in the VR even with the headset off lol ive seen other comments who said this happened to them too and i thought it was funny that i had experienced it aswell
That STILL happens to me when I play mine
Yeah I sometimes try to take off my quest 2 in the real world
Never had this but my brain did freak out while playing AimXR. One minute I was shooting people and getting shot to death myself, the next second I'm back at work with my friends taking turns with my Quest. Bad graphics or not, the brain is easily fooled.
imagine just going to college or your school and just moving your thumb forward expecting to move

I never got motion sick. Even when I played a skydiving game the first time I ever played.
I don’t get motion sick easily at all
Same bro like ok yea I played vr chat but some worlds in vr chat kind of got to you it sure did for my cousin and he said no let's play a different game
The first time i played gorilla tag, i got motion sick for the night and couldnt sleep. The next day i played
For hours and didnt feel a thing
I have the same thing happen with my PSVR except it's even more extreme, I don't get immersed at all... Not even slightly, I could get flung 100s of feet into the air and feel nothing more than I would staring at someone getting shot into the air on a television screen. Also the screen door effect with PSVR is just insane.
I don't know why I don't get immersed at all either, I mean my family freak out at the same things that leave me feeling so underwhelmed.
I can't even remember the last time I used the PSVR, hell I can't remember where I put the PSVR that's how little I care for it.
Honestly I still want an original HTC Vive if nothing more than to keep as a memento since it was the first VR headset I ever used and the only one I actually felt immersed while using, of course when I tried the Oculus Rift I only had like 5 minutes so I barely even got to try out anything and I felt nothing while playing that mountain climbing game even when looking down at the ground 100s of feet below me, it was all such a massive disappointment and I just wish I had a way to try a VR headset again so I could know whether the PSVR and my brief experience with the Oculus Rift were flukes or if my amazing experience with the HTC Vive was the fluke and VR actually sucks in general!!
God I just want to try VR again because ever since that oculus rift demo all I've been left with are questions, questions I can't answer because my family can't afford a VR headset meaning every time I think about VR I constantly have all these thoughts bouncing around my head.
Same bro

The myth about needing the one with more storage cracks me up. When I bought my Quest 2, I showed my friend and he got one the next day but he got the one with 256gb thinking he needed it. I even showed him how much storage I have left after all of the games I've installed. He admitted he should have used the extra money for a case and accessories like I did.
in this case i would be the friend sadly :(
Are you sure? Some of the games I own are over 20Gb in size. I'm worried I can only fit around 2-3 games on it.
@@PunakiviAddikti That's pretty weird. I just did a quick Google search and the biggest game taking up the most space is "Saints and Sinners", which takes up only 8gb of storage.
@@mjkes The games are probably much bigger on PC. I just looked at them on quest and they're barely 4Gb
I have the 256 GB version. But then again I have a ton of games installed.
when i first tried vr i was not motion sick
I WAS PLAYING FLIPPIN BEAT SABER AND JOB SIM and FLIPPIN ... i forgot

TIP: Put a cloth of some description on your Quest when it’s in the sunlight.
Just never take it off and build a helmet around it! Cyberpunk 2077 style
@@ethanmorrison7021 the ultimate headstrap
i personally have to charge my oculus near my window, so i put my sleep mask over the lenses while its charging to prevent damage. a bit stupid but,, hey it workz!
Or just don't put it in the sunlight?
Although I appreciate the tip! :)
most craziest myth is definitely the “boomers can’t use VR” for two reasons.
1) im basically a boomer myself
2) this was actually my answer in the stream :)
these videos are so helpful! as a new ish quest user myself, i find that ive learnt much more in just a few minutes of watching your videos than i ever would have just guessing around and hoping for the best. and on top of that, youre really fun to listen to. keep up the good work!
I’ve never been motion sick and my first 5 times playing vr was with smooth locomotion, web swinging, a pokey bit of plastic on my nose, and a five year old screaming.
teleportation feels weird. I prefer smooth Loco
@@bladebladevr2683 agreed
Same I played rec room my first time 1 year ago and heard a 6 yr old kid SCREAMING
Same. I've only been motion sick once in my life after riding an amusement park ride. Still didn't throw up but felt like crap. I can be on a boat with crazy waves and not even be fazed.
@@bladebladevr2683 if you use teleportation your prob a speedrunner or just dont onow how to change
Luckily when I purchased the Oculus Quest 1 along with Half Life Alyx, I knew to expect intense motion sickness at first. The best way to remedy this is to ween yourself into with small play times at first. I can say it's not something that you get used to fast, and can liken it to getting used to driving a car. Its different, but definitely possible to start pulling off crazy shit once you're used to the motion of virtual environments.
To be honest, I am one of very few which didn't get motion sickness (With a PSVR as well), however I did have something that really rocked my world and was an insanely weird but also funny feeling.
Which is HangoVeR (VR Hangover), basically my hand would feel like it would go through the phone or my vision would start to readjust itself for some reason as if I'm still playing VR lol
Weirdest experience ever, had it for a week straight.
Yo I just got a vr headset and that is kinda happening to me rn lol
The Quest 2 not being for Boomers when it's made to be accessible to everyone is kinda crazy.
How the hell is it not accessible? WE HAVE EYES... (I am Gen-X but same principle, I work in VR an average of 12 hours a day.. ..) ANYWAYS, 'BOOMERS' INVENTED VR. Over and Over and Over again 'till it stuck. Just like 3D photography, (which was invented over 100 years ago actually..)
You even supposed to be 13+ ._.
I’ve had the quest 2 for about 3 weeks and to be honest in MY OPINION the default head strap works fine for me however, it does get somewhat uncomfortable.
How uncomfortable???
I have a short time on mine, but I don't find any discomfort , longest session so far was 2 hours.
@@Novahri It’s like if it isn’t properly adjusted it is uncomfortable but other than that it works
Personally I have never gotten motion sick and I got my quest 2 a month back now for Christmas and I am happy that I have been able to enjoy games that may induce ya know motion sickness
Love your vids, I am a 56 yr old VR user, have Oculus 1 and 2 - I love tech more than most, from the pong games to now. The myths surrounding VR are astounding. The feeling I get in VR is akin to the beginning of the pc age pre windows, its going to be massive and the reason that it is not mainstream is it is in fact in its infancy. I hope I live another 20 years, as come on, we all know things are going to go crazy with VR and I just wanna see it : peace.
I'm 33 and cant wait for VR to go boom
you can also bring the quest anywhere unlike the rift which you have to plug in (I think)
That is true
Except for outside during the day

Record? Try playing real games the PC can power.
“That’s a kid’s toy”. Just LOL 🤣
7:01 well I actually haven't I was too distracted being eaten by zombies,psvr Is kinda annoying
girl I didn't get motion sick when I first got mine, I was high as hell and enjoying every moment of it LMFAO
Lmao same! I got motion sick at the end of the walking dead saints and sinners tutorial but it was probably from hours of prior play. I'm excited to get back on it and play today
He's not a girl
Just wanted to say thank you for clarifying the ‘wait for quest 3’ and ‘rift s is better’ myths, i was thinking of going with the quest 2 but wasn’t certain, now i am. Thanks for the great content
If you enjoy the VR experience, i would recommend moving to a wired PC headset like the Index or vive later down the line as they have better tracking, resolution, and frame rates if you have a pc to back them up.
@@phantomcatxd7637 ye but air link kinda helps and oculus link does to because its one cable not like 7 cables for it to work
@@Exenura pc vr also uses only one cable.
@@phantomcatxd7637 you need power connection trident cable and the 2 other ones so you need 4 and the setup for a vive or index is way harder to do then a quest 2
@@Exenura they are coiled together making them behave like one. The set up is still worth the better performance.
Lol I did multiple hours in a rollercoaster game when I first got it. Never had a problem with motion sickness since
you guys over react about the stock headstrap imo. Ive had my quest 2 for about a month, getting it from 100 percent charge to 10 percent charge daily, and i havent really had any problems with the headstrap.
yeah I got mine 6 mouth ago and I have short hairs the stock strap us really good you just need to take 5 min to adjust the strap tips : don't forget to adust the rotable parts attached on the headset on the sides it will be more confort
The headstrap is about as good as some of the better cardboard/daydream headstraps. Not terrible, but not great compared to the CV1. I can use the stock headstrap alright, but the extra padding I added to mine is still a night-and-day improvement.
i haven't tried a better strap yet, i find the standard strap totally good enough for having some fun. However, when i play synth riders intensely, the hmd starts to wobble, ruining the alignment and making the image blurry. Tightening the strap would have fixed it, but then these plastic bits begin to dig into my skull, so i can't play for long. I'm sure i'll get some better strap eventually.
It's the stock facial interface that's the problem
I think the biggest reason why people complain about the default strap is because they have it WAAAAAAAAY too tight. I use the default headstrap also and tbh, its good enough. Could it be better? Yea, but really it could be ALOT worse.
I had always heard people either getting motion sick or a headache after first trying a proper vr headset but when i eventually tried my cousins quest 2 i was shocked to find that i was completely fine, even when i used the flying gauntlets in gorn to launch myself into the sky i was completely fine, overall it was the greatest thing I’ve ever done and now i want a headset even more
ive never been motion sick like ive spinned 1 million times in gorilla tag to flex on people and ive even TRIED to become motion sick but ive never been able to :/
As an owner of both a rift s and quest 2, i tend to still stick with my rift s for pcvr. Crank the ss up to 1.5. Link is miles better than it was even a few months ago, but it certainly isnt without its hiccups. A lot of games run perfect but try stormland, the climb, or even hla at times and you will see the link isnt up to worry free pcvr. Rift s for me is just dependable, where everytime i try the link i feel like i need to have the performance hud up to start with.
So in your opinion the Rift S is in some ways better than the Quest 2 for PCVR and not objectively worse at everything than the Quest 2. Thanks for debunking. :-)
Use virtual desktop instead of air link and a good wifi 6 router like the asus ax-55 and there is no problems I don't have any stutters and the resolution looks amazing
Thinking always experiencing motion sickness when playing VR for the first time is what is what is thought when i first got my Quest 2 but is played because the experience is so beautiful.
I think this is the biggest myth.
It took me about 2-3 hours to get motion sick after I first got a quest 1 (granted my friend also had one and I had used it before) but it wasn’t that bad and I stopped getting motion sick for the most part after my second time using it for a while but I did get motion sick after I used it for about 7 hours straight once
Informative, quick, enjoyable. Thank you, keep up with good work!
The background music is great, also I'm super glad that you cleared up my stupid idea that the second I get an oculus they're gonna ban me!
I am happily surprised that the quest 2 holds up in quality and that any lacking is made up with content and gameplay ability. Great vid
Such an underrated channel, you're a big part of what influenced me to buy the quest 2
Thank you for getting rid of my hesitation for getting a quest 2 when i know a quest 3 is in the works, it won't be hard to resell the old headset for the new later
Alright, probably a dumb question but I’m new to all of this, how would I change my name if already set? I don’t use Facebook for anything other than my quest 2 and I just got my quest 2 so I don’t know how to do anything with it
i never got motion sick with a quest 2 i can play for hours upon hours with the only promlem being my sweat

I never got motion sick from VR... Even my first time playing Beat Saber my friends mom made me get off and drink water to insure I didn't get motion sick I just never got sick and can play for 5 hours straight and only feel the back of the head set push into my skull
I feel like in beat saber it is very rare to get motion sick, but in zero gravity game where u can't tell up from down you get very sick
I’ve only gotten motion sick form boneworks and even then after dealing with it for like an hour I got over it
I used my quest 2s original head strap for over a year until it literally broke on me but it was not the worst mostly because I used quest 1 head strap for 2 years and that was the worst head strap I ever used
Man I was SUPER scared the first time I got my quest 2. I really thought I was gonna get banned from Zuck. 7 months with a quest 2 and still not banned :D
I really thought the link cable mattered so I ended up blowing 80$ on the official cable lmao
Its still usable. No high functioning computer needed. Gives you access to sidequest and mods. And no, you dont need to stay connected after installing mods. I play custom beat saber songs all the time wirelessly thanks to the link cable.
@@myguitartwerks7825 thanks for the info! I’m still new to vr so I really appreciate the insight
@@dagambinottv Np! Just be careful when setting up mods. It may be difficult to follow. But its doable. Once I finished, I never had to go back to using the link cable for beat saber. I just load up BMBF and find songs that I want and synch to my modded beatsaber. All wirelessly! Good luck 👍
@@myguitartwerks7825 You can use any USB-C cable, I even think the charging cable that comes with it is fine, at least my Motorola charging cable worked for me, didn't have to buy anything, especially since it doesn't have to be fast if you're gonna be running the games on the Quest, not your PC, anyway.
@@originami9199 Its still nice to have if you plan on having a PC in the future to run high quality games on the quest. Which I might do.
For Christmas i was so pumped to get an oculus, then christmas came around my parents got me a vive pro 2. i barley met the minimum requirements and within 1 month the link box broke. instead of buying me a 600 dollar oculus AUD they gave me the wireless extension 800 dollars AUD im still sad..

hey quick question, what's the racing game you play and is it available on oculus quest 2. Also, how did you connect it to the wheel?
Just want to share my experience the first 3 days with the Quest 2. I tried VR before but not for too long a few years ago. Bought a Quest 2. Installed Half Life Alyx and started to play. All went fine, I was amazed with the detail of the game and the freedoms to move, grab, take and throw things but in a ment I moved forward to a desk and the characters for an unknown reason went on it. The camera moved fast and that's caused me "motion sickness". I removed the headset, and stopped to play. The next day I woke up and I feel like I will fall anytime IRL, that thing caused a very dope effect in my brain. I put the headset again and it feels more stable than IRL.
Hope this feelings goes away soon, it's very weird.
your plugged into the matrix
It seems as though you’re stuck in be forever
After a week of that experience I was able to play almost any game without motion sickness or any weird symptom. So if you are in the same situation as me in the past, keep trying. Eventually your brain will adapt to that. I have to say that it increased my reaction time and body coordination. Too much beat saber.
The sickness is the big one here , I have friends that say it literally every time I play VR
Crazy I’ve never got it before
I have a 128g and I think it’s perfect for mobile access in streaming movies, but not nearly as pricey
The first game i got was mission iss and i had no motion sickness
I made the mistake of playing on couch mode and almost throw up lol
@@jacobtube2429 You OK now though right
Quest 2 was my first VR headset so when I played RecRoom for the first time i would get motion sick and end up just playing while sitting down

The boomer myth is obsurd, I'm young and had a very engaging conversation with a 69 year old man on pokerstars. (Yes, he was actually 69) but he was incredibly nice! Large age gap too.

the "anti boomer" myth is complete crap, my dad who is 74 was able to enjoy bashing heads in on superhot vr.
Technically the safety guide for the quest 2 strongly recomends users to avoid using the device outside because sunlight exposure to the external cameras can damage them. They're still little lenses that are capable of bending beams of light and magnifying the rays. It's a length of exposure concern though, going outside with it for a little while isn't going to result in imediate damage, but if left exposed for a proloinged period it can and probably will, under direct exposure.
ok i know i'm a bit Late but using oculus quest 2 outside when there is no sun RN is safe right?
@@Hunterek41 i tried it and it did no harm to my cameras when there was no sun

“The Rift S is a better headset”
I’m planning on getting a Quest 2 this week and let me say, the Quest 2 has better graphics, and can still process the same level as the Rift S if you have the right pc.
I agree, but also the rift s got original hype games like half life alyx and blade and sorcery, boneworks etc.
With that waiting for quest 3 thing you can't go off of how many people are talking about it, just look at iphones, right as one comes out in a week they are talking about the next but then that one won't come out for a year or 2.
I have been playing with the oculus for about a year and a half for long periods of time and I still think the official head strap is fine. Also I have very short hair

Have a question how do you stop the pain on your forehead when wearing the headset I keep on adjusting my head strap but still hurts
I’m getting a quest 2 and I was just wondering what it feels like? I’ve never been in Vr before!
The very first VR game I played was Gorn, I ran away from Gorn as soon as I got blade and sorcery.
I googled does vr... and one of the first things that showed up is "does vr cause cancer" like what
I literally got soft spots on the back of my head thanks to the default strap, like How is that ok!?
A have I think a 165 gb or 185 gb quest 2 and I bought it in person at a local beat buy
the head strap is not that bad I have had my oculus for a year and play for hours so unless you are violently shaking your head then you are fine
Anybody else here owns a 128gb quest 2?
directly when i first played vr i was never motion sick - i played for the entire day - i was never able to be immersed.
But I AM going to wait for the quest 3 just because it's coming next year
I got the quest 2 128gb version and I saw there’s about 30 games
