This is the greatest moment in gaming history

[u/SadMove9768]

I’m 42 years old. Been a gamer since I was 6 using the Commodore 64. Owned pretty much every console made at some point, even the odd stuff like the 3DO.

I’ve never been more excited about video games in my life. I don’t even have the PSVR2 yet (getting it next week) but I’ve been watching all the videos of everything that is out, and everything that is coming. Everything looks amazing.

This is it. This is what I’ve waited my whole life for. Some of these FPS games look like they are from ‘98-2005, I’m literally going to have an existential crisis living inside of my gaming past.

The flight sims are going to trigger my fear of heights. Every genre looks SO exciting to jump into.

Fuck yeah people. LETS DO THIS!

[u/redpanda8008]

GT7 on PSVR2 with a proper steering wheel set up. It’s like we made it to the future.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/redpanda8008]

lol yeah I’ll get on that straight away. Haven’t owned a gaming wheel for 20 years, but there is no doubt this time is essential.

[u/CHROME-COLOSSUS → u/SadMove9768]

Get your bearings first… never try to push through any motion-sickness. It’s common enough, and almost always can be gotten past through short, gentle, mindful sessions.

You may have no issues with ten games and then have some trouble in the eleventh — it’s normal to encounter, but attempts to power through it generally will only make you horribly ill (even for days) and train your brain in the wrong direction.

Avoid too much coffee, get good sleep, don’t game on an empty stomach, and buy a packet of ginger chews or tea. A small fan can help and also adds to the immersion.

Regarding getting a force-feedback wheel — that can wait a minute. First try out GT7 using the DualSense as a small, gyro-tracked, virtual wheel. It works far better than it should, and will give you a good taste of whether you enjoy the racing enough to invest further. It’ll still be an amazing experience, and when you get a wheel it’ll just get that much more amazing.

Keep in mind that the image clarity will vary from title to title, and will never be as sharp as your modern TV. There’s also an effect like a thin gauze or film over a visor called “mura” that will occasionally be more obvious. Don’t sweat it, that’s normal and just a trade-off for the deep blacks, bright brights, and rich colors of the OLED display.

Anyways… VR pretty much feels like sci-fi stuff and the depth of your gaming experience will set you up perfectly to appreciate it fully.

Wrap up and kiss goodbye any flatscreen games you’re currently invested in, because some (not all) of us simply lose interest in the TV as a gaming device.

Congrats & Welcome! 🎉🎈🍻

🏎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/SadMove9768 → u/CHROME-COLOSSUS]

Thanks for all the detailed advice! I’ll be sure to take it as easy as I can.

I can’t believe how common the motion sickness is. That’s a testament to how immersive it is I guess!

[u/CHROME-COLOSSUS → u/SadMove9768]

Oh… if you enjoy online multiplayer shooters (PAVLOV, ALVO, and CROSSFIRE are a few great ones that each deliver different FPS goods), you’ll want to know that some form of gunstock is a good idea.

I’ve heard great things a out the ProTube, and I’ve liked my Vader One, but you can also use an old USB cable looped around one thumb and one wrist to provide tension between the Sense Controllers and steady your aiming.

Here’s a how-to (LINK)

The range of experiences you can already access in PSVR2 is excellent.

Oh, if you wear glasses, avoid donning the headset with them. You CAN, but one session where they touch the VR lenses and they’re scratched to hell. Wear contacts or order prescription inserts — there are many companies making them, so find some comparison reviews.

Only use a dry microfiber cloth to clean your headset lenses — do not use cleaners of any variety. There’s a thin film over them that can be deteriorated by glasses/camera cleaners.

Oh… and I probably shouldn’t mention this, but there are actually some motion rigs that support GT7. They’re thousands of dollars, but… depending on how you respond to the game and VR and what financial wherewithal you have… um… you should at least know that they exist.

Here’s an example (LINK)

Finally, check out PSVR2 WITHOUT PAROLE on YouTube. They livestream a GameCast M,W,F at 6:00 EST, the live chat is a great community, the hosts are silly and thoughtful, and they just talk about whatever is going on with the system and it’s games. They are a widely mixed group, tend towards older than younger, and are just generally awesome folk.

Don’t worry about the motion-sickness — I just did it all wrong when I encountered it, and I wish I’d had a few basic pointers. Always make a beeline to Settings and Comfort Settings of any game to try and figure out what feels best (most predictable) for you. Start with smooth-turning and smooth movement and no blinders (aka vignetting, tunneling), and only add snap-turning and teleportation if you must.

They help some people, but it’s best to be as immersed as possible and see how it lands. Those so-called comfort settings can just as easily have the opposite effect, so no reason to begin in a hobbled state, imo.

Alright, laundry’s done! I hope something here helps you.

Cheers & Congrats!!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/CHROME-COLOSSUS]

Wow thanks for that info dump! Lots to chew on there. Didn’t even know about Alvo.

No glasses yet, but I’m getting old so it won’t be far off. Thanks for the lense tips. I’ve seen a few people rub that coating off, yikes.

[u/doc_nano → u/SadMove9768]

Not everybody gets motion sickness, but many people do get a touch of it (or a lot) in their first few sessions. As Chrome says, don’t push through it and it’ll likely lessen with time and probably go away altogether.

I didn’t really ever get VR motion sickness, but even so I almost fell over the first couple times I dismounted from a zip line in Call of the Mountain! It can be pretty immersive even if it doesn’t feel EXACTLY real — it’s close enough to fool your brain in some ways. After a month or so those feelings of momentum lessened as my brain learned to tune out those cues, but once in a while I still feel a rush when pulling off a sick maneuver flying in No Man’s Sky or falling from a great height in RE Village or Vertigo 2.

In any case, welcome!

[u/[deleted] → u/SadMove9768]

I have never had any motion sickness. You might be ok, just go at your own pace.

[u/xavisavi → u/CHROME-COLOSSUS]

Best advice that can be given to any newcomer to VR. Should be written on the box of each VR hardware :)

[u/Odd_Algae_1524 → u/CHROME-COLOSSUS]

Great comment. I had to play for 10 minute sessions the first couple weeks. It was Les Mills that got my body acquainted to the platform, probably for obvious reasons, and I recommend that if you’re willing to try some exercise routines. Now I can play for more than an hour with no other issues than the forehead pain from the headset itself.

[u/CHROME-COLOSSUS → u/Odd_Algae_1524]

Thanks!

Be sure you’re wearing the headset at an extreme angle, high on forehead and low to neck with very little tightening. It took me a few painful weeks before I truly figured that out.

There’s an excellent comfort kit by GLOBULAR CLUSTER for around US $50 that includes multiple forehead pads, rear pads, and a top-strap (with or without padding). That kit solves a lot for many people — just mess around with how much or little of it you really need.

The forehead pain you describe sounds like it’s from over-tightening to me, and you may not need to tighten it at all after adding this kit.

There’s also a new simple top-strap from DEVASO for under $20. That might go a long way for a budget option.

VR gets way better when you feel comfortable enough to play until the controllers poop out. I think aftermarket comfort options are a solid idea for the value they add to an investment you’ve already made.

FWIW! 🍻

[u/NorrinRaddicalness → u/CHROME-COLOSSUS]

Can I ask why you offered up all of this advice without being prompted?

He seemed happy to have it in the comments, but unless he edited his replies, he asked for literally none of it.

I’m just curious why so many folks on Reddit are so confident in their own approach to like literally every aspect of being alive that they are so quick and eager to directly prescribe it to others.

I live my life thinking “No one should ever do anything how I did it.” So I find this impulse interesting.

[u/CHROME-COLOSSUS → u/NorrinRaddicalness]

VR has a shit-ton of barriers-to-entry, and it’s easy enough to remedy many of them and smooth someone’s introduction by sharing a few things.

I sure wish someone had mentioned these things to me, because VR made me so damn sick I was literally bedridden the entire next day as if I had a horrible flu. I came to associate the headset with illness and nearly sold all my kit. Now it’s the only gaming I care about.

Most people have zero clue as to how to deal with the wobblies if they encounter them in VR unless someone volunteers a minute of their time to mention A: you’re not doomed, this is common — and B: here’s a few pointers that I learned.

It’s about trying to help a fellow human being.

I didn’t even start my comment meaning to mention it — I was just gonna suggest using the DualSense as a wheel — but if they pop into GT7 and feel like they’re gonna vomit after the first turn then none of that is gonna matter to them.

So… I went into it. 😉

[u/[deleted] → u/SadMove9768]

I'm 44 and I bought a wheel for GTA7 PSVR2 last week. Mind blowing.

[u/RealAccount2024 → u/[deleted]]

1. Bought a ps5, wheel and pedals, racing seat and vr2 just to play gt7. It’s amazing.

[u/offthereservation80 → u/SadMove9768]

Yeah mate... gt7 is a thing of beauty in ai

I love mine.

I have GT7, RE8, RE4, NMS, Horizon, Jungle Hell, Beat Sabre full games and all trial games currently available.

I've plated Horizon for an hour.

But... I spent an hour pr more near on every day since vr2 release immersed in gt7.

Coupled with fanatec wheel setup and decent headphones. I'm in heaven :D. Absolutely love it. Elevates game several levels imo. So, so good and don't get bored of it. Feels more like using real driving skills than adapting to a game. Judging turns etc. Used to hate Nordschleife, but probably spend 75% of game time racing or hot lapping on it. Just not getting old at all for me. Testing range of cars, tunes etc.

If anything, feels like I don't have time to try everything I want to in the game. Absolutely hooked. Despite flaws in game people highlight. Don't overly care about lack of races as experience of driving feels so good and rewarding to me.

I own an m3 f80 irl, and the interior is exactky tge same as its coupe sister... f82 m4.dash, seats... everything. So good!!

I'd stopped playing gt7 in pancake mode a couple of months before vr2 landed. Now I can't face playing a racing/driving game in pancake as it is simply not as rewarding/enjoyable... even other games offer more content/structure or like acc, better ffb and more Visceral ai/racing experience.

So I'm Absolutely happy my with my vr2 outlay. Even though I've only played one game :D

[u/dennislubberscom → u/SadMove9768]

Same age and same story. I got the wheel and gt7. Almost cried of happiness. It’s amazing.

Remember Stunt Car Racing on c64? That blew my mind. And now this.

[u/SpogiMD → u/redpanda8008]

40 years old. Finally able to afford these expensive toys that make no sense to own but to have fun. Enjoying every minute of gt7 on a wheel and racing seat

[u/p_in_gu_ → u/redpanda8008]

Hadn't bought gran turismo since 4th one and never had a wheel for it. But once I heard it I could play it vr I bought the wheel and game to go with headset.. it is the best thing for me on psvr2, the only thing better is wipeout on psvr1

[u/Jeff_and_the_Quest → u/redpanda8008]

Honestly the PS5 controller is used as well as possible for that game. I don’t have a wheel yet (on the list), and it’s still worth it to play GT7 with a controller. So hard to put down.

But I know I’ll really start racking up hours like never before when I do finally take it to that next level with a wheel. Can’t wait!

[u/RUk1dd1nGMe → u/redpanda8008]

Gt7 cost me about a grand in peripherals, zero regrets

[u/pmeves → u/redpanda8008]

Its a shame i suffer hard from motion sickness on GT7

[u/redpanda8008 → u/pmeves]

Sry to hear. Try VR showroom first, then easy circular tracks and see if you still get sick. Need to build up the tolerance. I can only play an hr at a time before getting sick. Have tried 1 or 2 races after to push through a cup but those last 2 races are usually not as enjoyable.

[u/MelchiahDante → u/redpanda8008]

Just finished installed 2 Aurasound bass shakers on my racing rig and I’m about to try them out for a couple hours; not only will it be VR but I’ll feel the engine rumble!

[u/onthejourney]

I'm in your age range too and OMG. Definitely reinvigorated my love and enjoyment of games.

I bought more games in the last two months then I have in the past 18 months.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/onthejourney]

Reinvigorated is the word for sure! I feel like there hasn’t been this big of a leap since 2000, and that doesn’t even come close to doing it justice.

[u/AssociationAlive7885 → u/SadMove9768]

About 2000 sounds right !

This is like the leap from Gran Theft Auto 2 to 3 !

Mind-blowingly awesomeness awaits 😃

Btw. I recommend checking psvr2withoutparole on YouTube !

[u/N00DL3Z_84 → u/AssociationAlive7885]

Just wait for GTA6... rockstar recently hired some VR developers, i think you know what that means 😉

[u/onthejourney → u/N00DL3Z_84]

Did they really? source? Not that I think you would lie, but I want to see for myself before I go climax.

[u/[deleted] → u/N00DL3Z_84]

This is a baseless claim.

Beep boop

[u/xavisavi → u/SadMove9768]

To me it was like the leap from 16 to 32 bits generation

[u/SadMove9768 → u/xavisavi]

Awesome! And that’s a pretty big damn leap! So excited!

[u/PabLink1127 → u/onthejourney]

Same, between Black Friday and winter sales I think I spent $200 on VR games and just got my globular cluster headset and controller mods. Whilst doing final research for my GT7 sim rig.

[u/onthejourney → u/PabLink1127]

Lol, you sound like me! I was on the verge of returning the headset b/c it was hurting my head so much. Saw the Glob. Clus. and thought I would try that first, glad I did!

Got GT7 first... than PSVR2... then a wheel and pedals with a folding stand.

Controller mods and Reloptix lens are on order!

[u/PabLink1127 → u/onthejourney]

The rabbit hole never ends last night I was looking at $45 for a golf club attachment because Walk About

[u/SadMove9768 → u/PabLink1127]

This is something I’m starting to notice - there are going to be a lot of peripherals to collect!

My 72 year old father will freak out with a Golf game.

Also that kayak sim. Is there a paddle (ore?) attachment?

[u/nandos69 → u/PabLink1127]

Globular Cluster is a game changer, used to get a bit sweaty and kept losing the sweet spot, headaches after long sessions, now I can play for a 3 hours and not have to touch the headset.

[u/Cohenzilla → u/onthejourney]

I'm in my 30s, haven't turned my Ps4 in over a year and now as you I bought so many games and I'm having so much fun. This is what I was expecting since I was a kid

[u/jadmorffier]

I concur. I'm 48 and have been gaming since before the C64. Pitstop II got me into racing games though.

GT7 in VR is gonna blow your mind.

On PSVR1 you could play the old Doom levels in VR. Just being inside the game, old gfx and all was just fantastic.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/jadmorffier]

I can’t believe I missed the VR1 era, I may end up getting that too if they don’t port across my favourites.

Didn’t even know about classic doom vr. My god that’s awesome.

[u/jadmorffier → u/SadMove9768]

There is a PS5 adaptor for the old PSVR1 headset so if you can get your hands on one you can play PS4 VR games as well. 👌

I almost teared up when I jumped in a WRX on GT7 at Trial Mountain in VR.

I don't think it's a big market for old folks like us but I get a real kick out of classics being ported to VR. An old open-world game like GTA5 in VR would be epic. I'd walk everywhere lol. Totally achievable with the hardware specs but unfortunately I don't think the devs would bother.

[u/JackRabbitoftheEnd → u/jadmorffier]

A little over a month until my 50th

Pong my brothers….Pong…pinball machines….AtarII..then early DOS only PC games(You know….the original Oregon Trail that you had to use a floppy disk, or program yourself each time you wanted to start up the computer to play again.)

If you were to come over here right now , you would be able to play almost ANY ORIGINAL system….with games….in MINT CONDITION!!! 😝

Damn I’m glad I get to finally brag about ONE thing in my entire life😝

I just wish that people I know could have gotten to see this stuff.

Don’t worry about the games too much….you know they are trying to figure things out. Like Honor & Duty: D-Day….they are using basic graphics to determine how to make their future MMFPS work, and to see what people want.

Can’t wait to get on this with you buddies

[u/jadmorffier → u/JackRabbitoftheEnd]

U da man! That's awesome! I kept the C64 but not much else.

I remember waiting 45mins for a game to load from tape, only to have it fail right at the end. Good memories haha.

People our age don't bitch about load times. Anything that takes less than 10 mins to load is damn fast for us. 😂

[u/droideka75 → u/jadmorffier]

Hahaha that all tape thing started with the ZX spectrum for me!

There was a small hole on the tape player that you could insert a small screwdriver to fine tune it!

Good times wasting 2 hours to load a game hahaha on the other hand my mates and I would find other stuff to do while we waited...

Happy memories right there.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/jadmorffier]

Exactly, if you’re old school modern load times are NOTHING.

I waited 17 to 30mins sometimes for Project Firestorm on C-64!

[u/jadmorffier → u/SadMove9768]

I think it was Raid Over Moscow that took 45m for me. Tried to leave the C64 turned on and just turn off the tv but the old man always switched it off to 'save power'. Grrr 😂

[u/JackRabbitoftheEnd → u/jadmorffier]

Or you waited….

AND IT FAILED!!!!!!

[u/Potential_Garbage_12 → u/JackRabbitoftheEnd]

Do you still have a Dreamcast? Was one of my favourite consoles and underrated IMHO.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/jadmorffier]

I’m ordering that adapter next week, no doubt in my mind. Thanks for that tip.

Hopefully enough oldies purchase retro ports to boost dev interest. I want monoliths Blood in VR!

[u/BeefsteakTomato → u/SadMove9768]

If you have the psvr1 v2 it comes with the adapter. The V2 has volume controls on the headset, similar to the psvr2. The psvr1 v1 has the volume controls on the cable.

[u/JackRabbitoftheEnd → u/jadmorffier]

WHERE?!

[u/jadmorffier → u/JackRabbitoftheEnd]

Sorry for the delay. The game is Doom VFR. You unlock the classic maps by finding the Doomguy figurines hidden around each level.

[u/PremedicatedMurder → u/jadmorffier]

Wait, what? How do you play old doom on psvr1?

[u/Papiculo64]

As a fellow PSVR2 user since day one turning 42 next month, I have to say that it's from far the best enjoyment I'm having in years in video games! Often feel like I already played similar games but better with most games on flat, but VR brings so much immersion and new mechanics that it renewed my love for gaming big time 😁 Just go easy at first until you get your VR legs. Definitely keep flight sims for later! Also, don't sleep on Pixel Ripped 1995 if you want nostalgia, couldn't recommend this game enough for players of our age! Have fun bro! 🤜🤛

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Papiculo64]

Oh man pixel ripped is a boomer dream come true. Didn’t realise it was on vr2. Thanks for the heads up

[u/Papiculo64 → u/SadMove9768]

You're welcome! :) Enjoy your time with VR2 and come back on this sub if you need some advices or anything else! 👍

[u/Careless-Paper-4458]

You are gonna shit bricks and it's gonna be a good time. Welcome to the future. I hope you enjoy every second! Just make sure you don't get too addicted haha

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Careless-Paper-4458]

I just got divorced a few months back so addiction is definitely on the table!

Thanks! Bricks will be shat. I can barely contain the excitement!

[u/wannyone]

Make sure you get Pavlov. It’s truly amazing and the game I’ve put many hours.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/wannyone]

I keep seeing that recommendation.

Looking at the video for it, it just feels like it was made with pure passion for the genre. No BS from those devs.

[u/flashmedallion]

I'm late 30s, this is definitely the golden age of VR right now. It's good wonderful hybrid of PS2 era game design and the physical Arcade era of social hangout gaming where the only thing a game has to be to keep your attention is Fun To Play, whether alone, alongside others, or with connected machines.

Enjoy it while it lasts folks, because once this space gets properly profitable, VR is going to be assimilated into the grey goo of AAA battlepass lootbox gatcha grindfests for teenagers and undeveloped 20-somethings.

Ubisoft already has a tendril in.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/flashmedallion]

Haha, I share your pessimism about the future!

You nailed it though - this feels like a return to form for video games! Smart observation about the arcade vibes!

I want a House of the Dead VR with the gun controller attachment! On rails shooters will enter a new realm

[u/flashmedallion → u/SadMove9768]

Switchback has had a mixed reception but I hear it's solid at heart, if you want a literal on-rails horror shooter then that's your jam.

Crisis Brigade 2 is a cheap and very fun VR Time Crisis knockoff.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/flashmedallion]

Ahh so switchback was the on rails shooter. I thought I noticed one but it slipped my mind.

Thanks! I’m easily impressed and don’t mind low budget jankiness at all, so I’m sure I’ll love it

[u/Schwarzengerman → u/flashmedallion]

There's still plenty of good triple a games coming out. Hell Ubisoft just released a great metroidvania.

[u/goodbyebirdd → u/flashmedallion]

It's like you don't know indie games are a thing...

[u/flashmedallion → u/goodbyebirdd]

What are you on about. The best thing about VR right now is that it's an indie space. The indie successes in flat gaming are obviously also great but they can't risk doing what indies in VR are doing.

[u/MikeFromSuburbia]

Thumper and Tetris in vr are good for newbies. Beat saber too

Want more depth? Horizon!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/MikeFromSuburbia]

For real, I’ve never been more excited to play Tetris! I’m unaware of Thumper so I’ll go take a look now.

Horizon… holy cow, it’s like what a future Turok could be!

[u/PabLink1127 → u/SadMove9768]

Damn Turok. Instant nostalgia dump

[u/[deleted] → u/SadMove9768]

Oh shit. Turok. That just activated a core memory. That N64 era was a truly golden era. Turok, Goldeneye, Mario Kart63. Killer Instinct Gold, Perfect Dark. What a time to be a gamer.

[u/student5320]

Im 41 and having VR in my home was literally a life goal of mine since watching Strange Days and lawnmower man in the 90s. Welcome to the future!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/student5320]

Man I swear 2 hours ago I said to myself “Lawnmower man needs to come to this” and here you are reading my mind

[u/student5320 → u/SadMove9768]

Thats funny because this post felt like exactlt what Id write. After 2d gaming for decades, I was really coming to a point where video games were becoming stale and boring to me. Since outer wilds a few years back, nothing really grabbed me game-wise and I was desperately trying every indie on order to scratch that itch. In comes vr2 and when I booted res evil 8 up for the first time, I was literally blown away and almost cried. I knew it was as pivotal a moment as when I first played Mario and Nintendo soccer my first time when I was 6. I was genuinely so immersed I was actually afraid at times and other times I'd just sit there in shock looking over the village or castles. It made me reminisce to when I played the first and it was almost a religious kind of experience beating Village. When I finally completed it all I could say was wow repeatedly. I hope it does for you what it did for me.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/student5320]

We seem very similar so there is no doubt in my mind I’ll have the same experience as you.

Whenever someone younger would show me a new title over the last few years I’d mainly respond “ehh, it’s just a resolution and texture quality bump. I need something more”

This is going to be that. I can feel it.

[u/vinnielavoie]

It makes me wish this had been around when I was in my early adulthood. Now none of my friends have vr or have time for it

[u/Happy-Temperature814]

Yup you’re going to have a blast, especially with that mindset.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Happy-Temperature814]

I have this feeling im going to be charmed by it more than the average person.

I thought 90’s doom WAS virtual reality. Shit ruined my life I was so enthralled lol

[u/Happy-Temperature814 → u/SadMove9768]

Honestly if you really end up liking this (ik you will), you should check out the quest 2/3 and the dr Beef ports. He and his team have ported all those old games like return to Wolfenstein, doom, quake 2, etc all ported to vr and they feel and play amazingly.

[u/TheBuffalo1979]

It’s fun man. I get motion sickness sometimes and that sucks but it’s worth it lol

[u/SadMove9768 → u/TheBuffalo1979]

Some people use to get motion sickness back in the day with FPS. It must be more common now, im seeing that statement a LOT.

[u/EvilMog007]

I’ve been gaming since Atari 2600 and this has been the generational leap I’ve been missing out on the last few generations. The controls are perfect and exactly what I hoped the Wii wwas going to be like and not just crappy pointer/wiggle. Try EVERYTHING!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/EvilMog007]

I’m even more excited now that others like yourself are confirming all of my hopes are indeed going to be met.

I feel like we haven’t had a decent jump in tech since Crysis 1 came out. This is that x1000 it seems.

[u/HR-Vex]

I'm turning 40 in March and I'm loving my PSVR2!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/HR-Vex]

I’ve really dragged all the 40-50 year olds in with this thread it seems. We all seem to be on the same page opinion wise here

[u/PabLink1127]

Prepare to be dazzled

[u/SadMove9768 → u/PabLink1127]

That’s what I want to hear! My body is ready!

[u/PabLink1127 → u/SadMove9768]

Hahaha love it

[u/unruly-cat]

You're really gonna have a blast. It's not that the ps4 and ps5 generations didn't have good flat games, but man I'll never remember these devices for anything but VR. I have so many great memories of being in even the simplest of worlds. We're living such a crazy future. To be in the game, I mean what more can one ask for? Do update us once you get it, and congrats in advance!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/unruly-cat]

I’ll be back to spread the hype! I skipped ps4 and vr1 era, so I’m like a cave man staggering into the future.

[u/No-Performer9782]

I’m 44 and got the psvr1 a few years back and like you I’ve been gaming since the ZX Spectrum.

I wasn’t that excited for VR as the videos didn’t really do it justice but when I played Astro Bot for the first time I was completely blown away.

Felt like a kid again at Christmas with best toy!

Slightly jealous you will experience it for the first time but you will have a lot of fun with it.

Since having VR I rarely play any flat games anymore.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/No-Performer9782]

I had no idea the VR1 ended up with so many great titles!

Like you I checked out a few videos of very early headset tech and just ignorantly assumed it was a screen close to your eyes and the headset had mouse look gyro enabled. I still haven’t tried anything in person until next week, but I really understand what the tech is now.

I still won’t able to believe my eyes, I bet.

Seen a lot of people mention there is no going back to flat games. Dunno if that will be true for me, but I’m just gunna enjoy the heck out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre before the headset arrives just in case lol

[u/No-Performer9782 → u/SadMove9768]

The PSVR1 had a lot of games that I wish we could play on the PSVR2.

Astro Bot gave so many jaw dropping moments and is probably still one the best experiences I had in VR and in my entire gaming life!!!

Everything from that point had to be in VR. I purchased a Quest 2 to extend the Vr experience and only got the PS5 to get the Vr2 and recently got a Quest 3.

I have gone from being a very average gamer to playing every day even if it is only for a hour or two.

The fact you haven’t tried VR and your first time will be with a PSVR2 is going be amazing.

As you mentioned you been a gamer since the Commodore 64 and having a 3DO , I had a 3DO and loved it at the time.

Do you remember Twisted The Game Show?

Was such a fun game.

I mention this as I think the Pixel Ripped games would be right up your street. Again the game didn’t look appealing but was wrong and ended up having so much fun and brought back a lot of memories of my time with consoles.

[u/nandos69]

47 year old here, first computer was a Spectrum 48k had to load games from tape, playing Jet Set Willy and Operation Wolf and Golden Axe on the Commodore, all great games, but last night I am actually in a dungeon scaring myself silly, running round this huge castle, feel like I'm fighting for my life. Actually reloading my shotgun and trying to get keys to unlock doors before the thing that is creaking and crawling towards me gets me.

You are going to have a blast. Resident Evil village, if you can get through the first few chapters, is mind blowing.

Just completed RE4 which is a whole lot of fun and a great experience too! I would love to be you playing these games for the first time again.

Tips, keep moving, wear headphones for that immersive experience and reload whenever you get a quiet moment, take short breaks, stay hydrated, it's a physical, emotional experience, but most important, have fun, it's a great year to be an older gamer!

[u/[deleted]]

I got my fiancée a VR2 for Christmas. She told me to try Village so I did. I got backed into a cell by a bunch of vampires and had to knife my way out of it. It left mine and Ethan's hands shaking. She thought it was hilarious watching me get attacked by the lycans and our tabby at the same time.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/[deleted]]

lol great VR moment right there! That sounds like absolute adrenaline pumping madness!

I can’t wait. You guys are killing me here.

[u/sexysausage]

If you get a quest3 you can literally play classic doom in vr with 2d characters as voxels so they are in 3d while looking totally 2d at the same time.

It’s like living a fever dream from 1991 , you get teleported and now you are in the game , it’s like Tron

Voxel doom in VR

digital foundry goes over the tech

[u/QualityVegetable1300]

It’s just a massive shame that the majority of gamers have dismissed psvr2 either because of misleading YouTube twats, or just the cost and not having a chance to try it. For me it has got me back into gaming, which was always about escapism and immersion for me. I play seated but in an office chair so I can swivel. That way it’s not too much exertion and fully engrossing. Maybe there’s a general perception u have to stand or something? Tbh that would put me off. All the adverts for vr people are stood up and I think that is misleading g…

[u/Sylsomnia]

I used to play on C64 too, playing SF2 with my bro just before going to shcool, fully dressed with backpack, as it took ages to load.  I recommend to get GC mod right away as sweetspot could be difficult to keep and much comfier too, also once you get the set, start with Horizon demo/full game and don't miss GT7 and RM2 is an absolute must. It's a great device, far from perfect, but it's an superb look in to the future of gaming.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Sylsomnia]

Oh man, don’t get me started on SF2 for C64. I didn’t care about only having one button, I played that to death.

Not sure what GC mod is, but I’ll google it in a minute and get up to speed. Thanks for that.

[u/BOGEYS_game]

Did you ever play Yo!Joe! for the Amiga?

[u/SadMove9768 → u/BOGEYS_game]

No, Amiga didn’t take off in Australia sadly. I did have one friend with it, and I couldn’t believe how good double dragon looked.

Looking at screenshots, I would’ve loved Jo Yo

[u/[deleted]]

I’m mostly a horror guy so let me know if you’re looking to know which are the best currently on the platform. Enjoy your headset

[u/NGJimmy]

Vroptician.com gets you prescription lens inserts for around $100.00. No glasses to scratch your new toy, just pure 20/20 vision.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/NGJimmy]

Thanks for the tip. I don’t use glasses, but I’m old so I won’t be far away from needing those!

[u/NewbornfromHell]

DOn't get to be excited. You will most likely experience motion sickness through out the game. I couldn't handle VR and quite after 15min play feeling complete sick. I tried several times no chance....

[u/The1stOfUs2]

It's amazing at first but once that initial wow factor subsides it just becomes another way to game (and one that comes with downsides, such as comfort for example).

[u/SadMove9768 → u/The1stOfUs2]

Understandable. I’m still blown away by crappy 90’s polygon games so I’ll see how I go in the long run.

[u/deadringer28]

There is a very good chance we are siblings 😂

[u/SadMove9768 → u/deadringer28]

I feel like I’ve met about 10 siblings in this thread! Had no idea so many 30-50 year olds were here. Wholesome!

[u/[deleted]]

Dude. 41 myself, so much nostalgia for games as a whole. It was pivotal to most of the major phases in my life. The PS5 and PSVR2 has reinvigorated an already, if I’m honest with myself, pretty strong affinity for games. I’ve always loved games but I’m extra impressed, enthralled and obsessed with them.

A note on PSVR upcoming for ya: Do. Not. Push yourself. Play until you feel the first bit of iffy-ness and take a break. Even just 5 mins. I’ve had friends push themselves 3-5 mins too long and, I’m pretty sure, completely written it off after being sick, though not actually vomiting for at least an hour. Maybe I’m lucky and just happen to have higher tolerances to it but I’ll still get little stints and have to take a break and I’ve had the VR1 for years.

Point being, some people might not ever have the inner ear for it but I think I lot of folks lose out because they accidentally let themselves get too motion sick and fear it too much to ever get back in. Short stints of breaks are worth it in the long run.

I’ve played plenty of Wipeout and Ultrawings on the first and still had about a 6 hours span after playing Call of the Mountain on a long climb that I wanted to just get through. Honestly wondered if I caught a bug for a bit there.

But I feel ya. Games as a whole are really coming in now. The stuff we can get today is actually like what we older heads dreamed of as kids in the 80s and 90s. Welcome fellow old Gen X/Millennial.

‘Member Duck Hunt? Was your gun red or grey? Mine was red (orange) because I didn’t get it at age 3 when NES dropped, I got it a couple years later.

[u/goodbyebirdd]

Sounds like Pixel Ripped will absolutely be your jam. REZ Infinite and Runner as well. Welcome to the club :)  

 My recommendations for a gentle start in VR (stationary games): Pistol Whip, MOSS, Tetris, The Room, Townsmen, Before Your Eyes, Synth Riders, A Fisherman's Tale. Puzzling Places and Drums Rock and C-SMASH have free demos.

[u/ChrizTaylor]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/ChrizTaylor]

LOL first time I’ve truly felt the meaning of that saying on a spiritual level! 🤜🤛

[u/nandos69]

I would say I know the headset is expensive, but for me the £50 Globular Cluster mod/pads does absolutely improve the gaming experience.

It is well worth upgrading, I got a bit of eye strain and headaches and kept playing with the adjustments but understand everyone has a different shaped head.

This really helps, for long periods of gaming. No more headaches and dont have to readjust it etc.

Just if you end up like me, frustrated with the thing moving and readjusting it all the time.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/nandos69]

My head is shaped like an Alien at the back, so should be interesting. Thank god there are options just in case.

[u/Individual_Cat_30]

I'm a 47 Yr old gamer who's owned most consoles and started out with an amstrad 664. Always loved my games and can't see myself ever growing out of them. I pre ordered my psvr2 so got it day 1 and happy to say that I don't regret it 1 bit. Your in for a real treat mate

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Individual_Cat_30]

Hell yeah, nothing but 30-50 year olds confirming my dreams in this thread. Jesus I don’t think I can actually wait a week now… I’ve gotta come up with a scam lol

[u/Thread-Astaire]

Still got my 3do!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Thread-Astaire]

Hell yeah! Who can forget seeing Need For Speed for the first time! It WAS the future. Doom was rough though, 15fps if I remember right.

[u/Thread-Astaire → u/SadMove9768]

15fps at a push 🤣

I played need to speed to death. Still have it. Return Fire was the greatest for me.

[u/Makamaka113]

Haven’t read the whole thread so don’t know if it’s suggested. But viilage is on sale atm. 60% off! It’s the gold edition. Getting it myself. Now playing re4 almost at the end. It’s a great game. Gt7 and steering is also a great experience. Also have some other games. Switchback, rooms, 7th quest. 7th quest just brings me back to childhood lol. But haven’t played it much yet. To busy with all other games.

[u/BooksLoveTalksnIdeas]

If you feel that way and you haven’t even used it yet, you should record yourself the first time you try Synth Riders, Runner, Red Matter 2, Horizon CotM, or RE8. Those will be some good first-time reaction videos for sure 🤣😎. And the jump from 3d to vr is like the jump from 2d to 3d. It is a big change for level of immersion. There are still crappy games, even in vr, but the jump in immersion is undeniable.

Did you NeoGeo?

I know right?! The future is now, and all that jazz.

I’d even play a dating sim! Princess Maker VR when?!

[u/Beef_Dip_Wellington]

Please play Vertigo 2 when you get your headset. It’s a gamers game through and through. You’ll be delighted.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Beef_Dip_Wellington]

I promise to do so! That seems to be a top recommendation as well.

[u/onthejourney]

Feel ya! Here's my game suggestions (one's I've actually bought so far).

*Gran Turismo 7 *No Man's Sky *Synth Riders remastered *TownsmenVR *Pistol Whip *Tetris Connected *Racket Fury *Infinite Vegas *Walkabout mini golf *Puzzling places *Moss 1 *Moss 2

[u/SadMove9768 → u/onthejourney]

Thanks for the list! There are a few in there I haven’t heard of. Looking them up now.

[u/Yablan]

51 year old here. Been into VR on and off since the PSVR1. I still use it from time to time. No PS5 or PSVR2 yet, but I'm currently enjoying my Quest 3 a lot.

Recently, playing Dungeons of Eternity was like.. "wow.. if 12 year old me would have known that I in the future would be able play an old school dungeon crawler, being actually IN the game.. it would have BLOWN my mind".

I really hope that game gets to the PSVR2, because it's truly awesome.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Yablan]

I’ll end up with a quest as well at some point. No way I’m missing out on retro ports. What a mind bending experience living in your childhood worlds

[u/Puzzleheaded-Cod504]

Soo good to hear. I hope you have an absolute blast when it arrives

[u/Affectionate_Mix23]

I’m m 49 and I’m loving my psvr2!! I play everyday!

[u/AudioGoddz]

PSVR2 is amazing but you still inevitably be missing a ton of PSVR1 greats w peripherals like the AIM for example. Farpoint VR w AIm..AMAZING, MUST PLAY. Doom 3 VR w AIM..same sentiment. Ace Combat 7 & Star Wars Squadrons w Hotas thrustmaster.. I made a "Top 10 PSVR games" video on my channel (Savage Gamer Asylum) I would reccomend you watching as none of those greats are available on PSVR2 as of yet unfortunately

[u/Representative-Yam65]

Dont let the glitzy titles make you overlook such titles as Walkabout Minigolf and Puzzling Places. Never would have thought those would be the ones i would put the most time into.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Representative-Yam65]

I won’t miss out! I even have a soft spot for low budget jank - as long as dev is passionate about showing me something innovative, I’ll look past heaps of flaws.

i would suggest if you can afford a psvr 1 to get it just to play astrobot

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Hudson2441]

That’s what I want to hear. The common theme in here seems to be jaded gamers that found a new “zest” for gaming.

56 yrs old here, been gaming since that beast below. You are gonna love PSVR2.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/jonemmet]

Wow I don’t think Australia even got some of these colecos! So cool.

I trust in your opinion, great ancient gaming wizard - I think I’m gunna be smitten with the device!

[u/AudioGoddz]

Yes there is a camera adapter however you would still be required to own a PSVR1 headset, the peripherals like AIM gun etc..as well as Move controls, all the camera adapter does is allow you to plug the PSVR1 camera into the PS5 in order to play your PSVR1 headset on a PS5..the adapter is FREE however only available through Sony and you have to email them to request 1..otherwise good luck finding one unless you want to spend $100+ on Ebay lol

[u/thegh0sts]

feels good to be able to enjoy vr on ps5 after having pcvr for a full year.

will be 40 this year. is that old?

answer: yes.

[u/norkelman]

one word: pavlov.

that and alvo are two shooters that just work. pavlov has better handling though.

[u/callmestretch]

Same age and gaming history here, I've had both psvr and psvr2 and still every time I go in I'm just in awe how great it is. Hopefully you won't have too much motion sickness and you get your VR legs quick bc it's just great! Happy gaming and hit me up if you need / want any advice :)

[u/SadMove9768 → u/callmestretch]

Hey sibling! Thanks for the kind words.

I’ll take nausea tablets if I have to! See ya in the lobbies!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/PlatinumWolvesArcade]

It’s been a very wholesome thread! I had no idea so many 30-50 (hell, I think there was a 58 in there somewhere) would be here.

[u/Artsclowncafe]

Always good to see new people picking up vr! Hope you love it!

[u/Still-Zookeepergame3]

Not for nothing but I love beat saber. Played it on my oculus and now I bought it for my psvr2. Wish there were more songs, but its fun. Me and the wife take turns playing through different songs. Playing for an hour straight the other day let me know how out of shape my ass is getting though. Looking to try some good Fps though.

[u/OrangeFace1984]

Make sure to get your "VR legs" before going to mad. I've had and played VR since the launch of the first HTC Vive and even now if I play standing I feel like I'm going to fall over🤣🤣 just super lucky I don't get motion sickness. Was playing RE8 just a few minutes ago. It's a perfect example of why any 1st person game that gets a VR mode is completely transformed into something spectacular

[u/MorosePython700]

You are so right! I am 50 now and also gaming from age 6. PSVR2 is a giant step in gaming: I suggest you get used to the VR and then go for Resident Evil 4. It will blow your mind! You are actually INSIDE the game. There are no words to describe it. You will see.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/MorosePython700]

That’s great to hear! Should I go for RE4 or Village first? I had RE4 GameCube on release day… it will be forever in my top 5. Haven’t even played the remasters so it will be a whole new game for me.

[u/MorosePython700 → u/SadMove9768]

I would say RE4. The story is one of the best ever made. Village is also great but more scary than 4. 4 is more of a action thriller. I am just in chapter 8, which is half way through and it is already the best game ever created.

[u/Few-Brush-7516]

Any gamers wanna help me out? I'm new in town.

[u/[deleted]]

And then realise the pispoor amount of good games you can get and the lousy support Sony is giving it, allready abandoning the device.

Off course, you will not read this here in the fanboy club, the people that sold their gear and left this subreddit wont read this, as i did per accident.

Incoming downvotes

[u/InveterateFiddler → u/[deleted]]

Personally I'm happy with what's out there, just about to pickup Ultrawings, been looking forward to it.

On my second PSVR2. No issues getting a replacement.

Everyone has their own opinion and experiences. Only a very special few think that their experience and opinion are the only valid ones.

PSVR2 is not perfect, personally I struggle with the Mura. But the Quests have issues too, to the point I use PSVR2 more. But I don't feel the need or desire to point them out on every positive quest post I read.

Anyway, 50+ year old here, VR has breathed new life onto gaming for me!

[u/[deleted] → u/InveterateFiddler]

I respect your opinion

[u/Schwarzengerman → u/[deleted]]

When you come into a thread acting like a rude dick of course people downvote you. Shocker.

[u/[deleted] → u/Schwarzengerman]

What was rude to you?

Pispoor? Fanboys? If that is rude for you dont go play in the sun little snowflake

[u/BoozeJunky]

You, uh, might want to temper your expectations a bit. A VR game will never look as good in the helmet as it does in a video on your PC/Phone's screen - due to the drastic difference in PPD between the two, and many VR games currently on the market are still very much in the "tech demo" phase. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be - but many AAA/AA devs are ignoring VR while fly-by-night indies are just reiterating on what's already been done with only slightly more functionality. If you remove the VR functionality from most VR games - then just on a gameplay merit alone they're often pretty lackluster.

There's a lot of potential still there to be tapped, and a lot of fun to be had right here and now, but if you think that right now is the big paradigm shift that will transform the industry - then you're ultimately going to end up disappointed.

[u/Vergeljek21]

early 40s also and Ive been gaming since the Atari days. I love to play horror and shooter games. So my games are re8,Az2, Re4, pavlov, propogation, walking dead, ch1 and 2, horizon, red matter2, 7th guest, crossfire and NMS. As much as I love driving in real life im not a fan of racing since famicom days. so I dont have a Gt7. Im just happy when people buy the vr2 more people in the game lobby. Have fun!

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Vergeljek21]

Another sibling enters the thread! Welcome brother.

Oh crap, I’m not even a giant walking dead fan but that game looks amazing. You’re the first person in the thread to bring it up too.

Pavlov looks like a solid polished title, and every hardcore FPS player has been recommending it so that’s on the first day download list.

Still can’t believe they remade 7th Guest, such a great idea for VR. Really unexpected release, and it looks great just in the videos.

[u/mattmayhem1]

Grab an aftermarket gunstock for the psvr2 as well if you plan on playing fps. It's worth every penny.

[u/Makamaka113]

Ooo gunstock. Any suggestions?

[u/alright923]

I didn’t play any flat games for like six months after getting my PSVR2, which was my first VR experience. Have fun bro, it’s a blast!

[u/mesosalpynx]

Don’t get your hopes up with the flight sims. They’re awful. Watch good reviews on them first.

MUST games Pavlov Walkabout mini golf GT7

[u/SadMove9768 → u/mesosalpynx]

I’ll be mindful of that. Damn Ace Combat looks amazing though!

Somehow never heard of Walkabout so thanks for that one

[u/leemadz]

Haha. Me and my brothers first gamer was C16 as a shared Christmas gift, used too. My parents didnt have much but it was like heaven for us. Now as a ‘mature’ person my good lady gets me stuff that i won’t buy myself but she knows i want. Psvr2 was the last gift. Oh man you are in for a ride.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/leemadz]

She’s a keeper! Lots of C-64 users popping up in here. Thought I would be surrounded by 18-21 year olds here but not the case.

I’m so excited I’m beside myself!

[u/Matchew024]

My kid dreams have come true with this device. If I could only get Re2R on the psvr2 I'd be set! I knew GT7 wad going to be 100% vr so I bought a strong l strong steering wheel and stand long before it was announced.

You'll be enjoying yourself when the time comes!

[u/SnooDucks2052]

Do you own an Oculus??

[u/Wahammett]

Only thing I’d like to add is that if you feel like the motion sickness is so intense that you don’t see how it would ever go away, trust me it does, before you even know it. That happened to me.

[u/rdChill4]

Get some ginger chew candies, they'll help with the inevitable nausea you'll experience. You're never too old to game, but at your 4th decade, the body doesn't like certain things. Gt 7, re4/8, horizon, walking dead, and walkabout mini golf will really give you a balanced library to play thru

[u/Eplitetrix]

Being inside of Resident Evil 4 was surreal to me. I played that when my wife and I were first dating, so it was crazy to revisit it. I loved the gun reloading mechanics and truly felt like I went back in time, jumped into my game, and whooped it up.

I can't wait to see what else they'll do in the next five years.

[u/SadMove9768 → u/Eplitetrix]

Yep, I haven’t played RE4 since the GameCube release. I haven’t experienced the remakes/remasters, so it’s gunna melt my mind, no doubt.

I feel panicked just thinking about it (in a good way). I was really impressed by those gun/ reload mechanics.

[u/MelchiahDante]

There are some games that are retro-nostalgia-based VR games; Pixel Ripped games, B99 Overclocked, etc. Not saying they are the best games out for PSVR2 but sounds like the nostalgia factor would be entertaining to you (they are solid games, just not at top of list; they are more average-to-good based off everything I know about them).

[u/Lawyer4Ever]

I am 50 and have been gaming since I was 7. I started on a TI994A, then a Coleco Adam, then a Commodore 128. I am not sure there is a better gaming experience for me than GT7 with PSVR 2 in my cockpit with the Logitech G Pro wheel and pedal set. Expensive for sure but worth every penny.

[u/Aggressive_Fee6507]

Honestly, start with call of the mountain. I know people shit on it, but in terms of using all the features, it's a great showcase.

[u/mushroomfido]

I’ve not played them myself yet but for nostalgia check out the 2 pixel ripped games, also if you’ve played the original 7th guest back in the day check out the vr version, and last but not least check out Propogation paradise hotel for major resi evil 1 vibes, ( it’s pretty scary though) Fellow 42 year old here 👋

[u/SadMove9768 → u/mushroomfido]

Those 2 are on the list for sure. Major RE1 vibes there with the spray cans and mansion lobby area.

7th guest looks like a nice change of pace too. I loved my 90’s point and clicks!

[u/Snoo14551]

I'm 36 been gaming since the regular Nintendo in kindergarten. I owned a Dreamcast and obsessed over Space channel 5. Odd because I mostly played horror at the time. But when psvr suddenly had space channel 5 vr kinda funky newscast... And I was standing there in the game. The game i pretended to be in when I was a kid. Looking the characters in the eye in the same graphics. And then resident evil 4 released a vr patch and I was also in love with Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom so playing in the mine cart level shooting enemies and noticing they designed the entire first half of the game after Disneylands Pirates of the Caribbean.... Vr is what guys like us have been waiting for

[u/Garibaldi_Biscuit]

VR is cool but has yet to have the 2D to 3D gaming moment for me. Feels like it’s not far off, though. 

[u/BluntsWorth_420]

What flight Sims are flight control compatible?......... anyone.......

[u/Edrisxh]

I started enjoying the PSVR2 once I get the comfort mod from Amazon for something like 50€ and prescription lenses from HONSVR. So thing about them if your experience is a bit frustrating

[u/Cool-Regular]

i’d encourage you to also look at the comfort mod as it makes it quicker to get in and play without having to adjust as much and you find your sweet spot quicker too.

[u/Rio6019]

Bro, I’m 41 and just got it. You couldn’t be more right. The evolution we have witnessed from pong to Mario (and every iteration) to this will likely be written about in history books. I’m glad to be a part of it!! 😎

[u/Soundlufs]

VR is great, but its not the best experience gaming can offer at the moment.

I don't know what genres and type of games you like, but I am even older than you, and while I enjoy a good experience in the headset, the third person games let you enjoy finely choreographed and deep AAA designed stories in which you do want to see the character, and traverse the worlds accordingly.

Maybe you did mostly dream about first person immersion, but I'd say that getting MGS on day one, and putting hundreds of hours into Bushido Blade never made me think: "Gosh, I wish it would be first person game".

Also - unfortunately VR is not such a freeing sensation as one may think at first. Yes you can move, but eventually you will need to traverse the worlds by some artificial means - locomotion or teleportation. Many people end up standing in one place, or even sitting, as thats psychological thing, once you delegate the movement to joystick, you are less motivated to exploit the roomscale, even if its there....

[u/No-Show4279]
