I don't think there's enough Anons here to warrant one.

Green Hell is barely mentioned in VR lists but its great. I expected a a comfy survival game but its a horror experience thats very stressful as everything wants to eat you , poison you and just fuck your shit up.

despite having owned a headset for a few years the only things that seem compelling to me are project wingman and vtol vr, both of which make me motion sick after a few minutes
maybe I'll try HL: Alyx at some point, but I imagine that would be even worse since you don't at least have the cockpit to ground you
VaM is the only thing I consistently use it for

>>276140 (OP) 
I've always been interested in VR. Can you just throw on the headset and be in your VR gaming room and play on a "screen" there?

>>276154
Alyx can use the teleport method of moving and snap turning to stop motion sickness

>>276162
yes you can play all your games on a large screen where you can set the size of it, they dont have to be VR games.

So I could have it a top some giant anime girls buttocks or something? That sounds pretty cool,  might have to check out this vr thing.

Having been a big FPS fan all my life, when I saw that VR could change the experience in games like Pavlov, it became far more interesting to me. My coworkers and I tried it with one of their high-end gaming workstation in one drunken stupor of a night. One of them was so immersed in Pavlov, he thought he could really pounce on an enemy in real life with a knife- and ended up crashing- tackling and wrecking into the desk with all the expensive computer equipment. Good times. To see him waddle off drunk like it didn't hurt made us all laugh hysterically.

Yes, there are even viral videos now of this one VR game- I forgot which. Where you are inside your 90's bedroom- complete with your old consoles and CRT TV. You can insert the cartridges or disks into the consoles and play your favorite games being emulated, INSIDE the VR game. Which was mindblowing to me

Any anons wanna buy me a new Index kit after my last one was stolen?

>>276330
That's EmuVR.

Once I finally got over the angst of what ((( they ))) did to the Oculus I tried the stand alone Oculus and the augmented reality was really neat but I got sick after playing a full VR game for 5 minutes and my face felt very hot.

My brain must be broken because I don't find VR immersive at all. It feels no different than having a screen strapped to my face, I don't feel "inside" the experience whatsoever. Meanwhile every family member that I've let try my VR headset starts throwing around the controllers and running into walls because they're so immersed and they forget it's not real.

You need to immediately stop when you feel sick. Eventually you build up a tolerance this way instead of teaching your brain to stay sick.

I bought it anyway but are now asspained by game downloads resetting to zero after hours of my waiting for it to download with le pending payments. Then after it's finally done and paid for it wants moar downloads.I hate this. If I realized meta meant facebook rebranded I'd have noped this thing. Oculus and accessories included, plus two games, I've probably already spent 500 dollars and haven't even plaid it longer than 5 minutes....460 usd rather, I did the maths just now....I should have just bought faster Internet and copyright infringed a fuck ton while using half the shekels. Thing is ass.

VR is fun, its just most devs are lazy and dont even try to make something fun beyond a short tech demo instead of a full game. They also dont lean into the VR aspects of manually handling weapons with motion controls very well.
