Depends on the mod, not that mod.

Disagree there, though maybe new one.

Sure, VRC the issue is getting away from all the screaming kids.

Join the drunk furries then...

And yes the children in public worlds is a issue they're going to have to sort out soon because it's gotten severely messed up in the last year. I blame the parents.

Very excited for Among Us to come to VR

EDIT:
Zenith VR MMO, probably the first proper MMO in VR

Nope, a bit busy currently, does look interesting but will probably only pick up in a few months to see how endgame etc. looks, but guessing player base might be an issue, so maybe will time it within a week or two of the PSVR 2 launch that will be this year some time. Good chance Sony will become the VR market leader, will be interesting.

I've played it now, both on Steam with WiFi streaming and Oculus, ended up doing so because I think my laptop is giving up the ghost, random stuttering on anything GPU intensive (so Phasmo, Smite, etc. still run fine, but doesn't work for anything VR as any stuttering will make you ill, so had to stop playing Phasmo in VR which is sad).

Zenith I first got a blade master tank to level 4 the first day, the second day I got him to level 7 about while questing with a group, quite a bit of fun, recommend you don't play tank as a blade master and rather go dps, haven't tried support yet.

Then today started an elemental dps, quite a bit of fun, hand gestures need a bit of work as all the stuff in front of you gets in the way, but the combat is nice. I kind of was trying to cast spell gestures like in the Wizards (https://store.steampowered.com/app/586950/The_Wizards__Enhanced_Edition/ I do not recommend buying it anymore, for 2017 it was great, but even by 2020 it was already meh, and now it's just bad outside of gesture system; this game still makes me motion sick as teleports always cause black bars on the side, so does "intense" combat since stylistic, absolutely atrocious), but this game requires you to be a bit slower to make the gesture, then fast cast rather than doing a smooth gesture, they have to work on that. Got to level 7 today in about 1.5h, compared to the other ~6 hours to 8, since knew how to go about the quests and stuff, figuring it out was fun though.

They also need to work on the mini map showing where stuff is, the hand mini-map on left hand is great, but should have quest names on it imho. Was helping a guy explaining how to use the world map, but the world map is also not that great. Map is huge though, for a R150/30 EUR game, it's pretty solid.

But yeah, good game, not sure how latency is from South Africa, but think it would be fine, if have a quest, would definitely get it. The flying system in the game is absolutely great, it's one of the things I enjoy most about GW2, having it in a VR game is awesome.

The people on it are generally friendly as well, mostly an older audience I've met so far with a handful of kids that are basically paired with other adults, which is interesting.

Oddest thing so far was some girl was touching up one of the male quest givers saying how handsome he was, after I asked if she knew others could hear her, she was like "it's fine, he's pretty, everyone should know". Odd when the guys are the ones being appropriate in a VR game, @Tribble would probably love the game. :p

Graphics are good enough to be immersive, screen shots and stuff don't really matter when playing VR, don't try to compare it.

So I tried Zenith, and it was quite fun but I think the issue for me is that it's an MMO, no getting past that. They're just not for me, even in VR. I refunded it and bought Lone Echo.

Having a ton of fun in Lone Echo. I love the movement mechanic.

Have you tried:

If you like magic and stuff as well.
Lone Echo is an amazing game, think number 2 released end of last year as a quest exclusive, haven't tried the second one yet.

I think I tried the demo of Journey of the Gods, but it didn't enthrall me. Seemed fun enough.

I must also continue with HL: Alyx, but it's so scary!

Playing Half-Life 1 since last night with the HLVR mod.

Actually pretty fun but you need to really dig into the controller bindings.

I now have too smack things manually with the crowbar. :p

Hand tracking 2.0 out on the Quest 2, apps need to update to support.

Also starting "playing" VRWorkout
Free, and supports hand tracking, hand tracking 2.0 support is coming soon based on dev feedback. Quite a bit of different movement, it's a full body workout, you can also set difficulty to include pushups and stuff.

Also played unplugged
Review says held back by hand tracking, that will change within the next little while, ended up refunding though as wasn't really enjoying it, think it would be great with a proper guitar in hand and then having it overlay.

And jumped into VTOL VR again, kind of interested in the DLC, they added an attack helicopter with 2 seats, so you and buddy can fly in the same plane:

So this happened last night and I nearly pooped my pants.

Why do I keep doing this to myself? On a discord call I was so shaken up I couldn't point the controller to the save button while my friends laugh at me on discord. :/ I'd like to see them try fucken dicks.
