Meta Quest 3 - Is it worth it?

[~Van]

I've seen some posts about Quest 2, but has anyone used the Meta Quest 3 yet? I'm thinking of going with VR and want to make sure it is worth it. I play other games that might utilize VR, I'm not sure, I'll have to check. But this is my main game. However, I've been looking at Baldur's Gate too. I'll have to see if that is VR compatible... hmm.
Anyways, I digress. Anyone use Quest 3??? I'm interested in your opinion. Thanks.

They absolutely ruined VR with the Odyssey DLC. When you're on foot, it's a floating 2D screen with a horrible grey environment which is the most repugnant implementation of VR you can imagine. If you want to play just 'Horizons' then it's a very very fun experience as long as you can't remember how amazingly diverse the planets could be with 'canyon worlds' where you could take your little fighter ship and speed around those monolithic mountains where-as now post odyssey implementation the planets use a copy-paste template, also i highly recommend X:Rebirth VR.

I got a Quest 3 a few days ago and it's pretty damn fun. I got it working pretty quickly, and just had to download the SteamVR link app on the headset and I can play my steam library wirelessly. I highly recommend it. It comes with a really fun game for free as well right now(Asgards Wrath 2).

vr is an experience, and it looks nice, but its not practical. this game is already hard to control without VR. With VR you have problems with input. I managed to use Voice Attack, but again, that doesn't make the game easier. Also you need a good PC or you need to lower the Graphic to a point where it doesn't look good anymore.

I tried VR with Elite for 10 minutes, just to see how it looks in "real 3d" but wont continue using it because i have only a 3060 Geforce.

VR definitely elevates the Elite experience. Besides the above mentioned 2D environment on foot.

Im using a Pico 4.

If you have a decent PC it works perfectly fine. I use a 3080, and 5800x3D. I also use a joystick I bought your not supposed to try and use the VR controllers for Elite lol. Your MMV.

as long as you have the hardware to run it correctly sure go for it.

I have a 4070ti with my G2 and i am very happy at least with the G2 i only need 90htz not the 120htz for the quest.

But i did hear and seen people say the quest 3 is great on sum games but poor on others.
poor on Elite but amazing on DCS world, but they also had a 4090 to talk about there experience .

so beware if you only play elite you may not get that amazing experience you hope for because the quest 3 is newer.

Most games have been optimised for the hardware of yesterday not tomorrow.
so newer hardware just dont have the support.

Giving you worse experience
just food for thought before you going buying something which may be better buying something cheaper.

The Quest 3 is definitely worth it because there is finally a wireless VR headset with enough clarity that the words and numbers really sharp ingame and not fuzzy.

Two hours of wireless gaming woot woot

Hold the phone.

This is elite dangerous and correct me if i am wrong but why would you need wireless if this is a sit down simulator ???

I can put in a full day of elite dangerous and driving sims all in VR corded with no problems.

I can understand if you are walking around the room but sitting in a chair ?

Just see it now in a online battle in VR wireless with a thargoid and you need to change the battery in the middle of your fight with it, chances of survival 0% hahahahaha

I thought there was a cable option for the Quest 3 for PCVR? Reviews I read were very positive about the display and self tracking. All were very critical of both the basic and upgraded strap. It is supposed to be very uncomfortable.

I'm considering the Big Screen Beyond, or maybe waiting to see what the next Steam hardware is going to be like. Meanwhile iI suffer with my grainy old Vive.

I have a HP Reverb as well, and it's quite annoying with that cord in my chair honestly(it is the G1 version though from 4 years ago). It tugs on my head as I turn right to left, which was some of the reason I wanted a Quest 3 when I saw the resolution was similar and it's wireless. With the Quest 3 I can look all around and its just more comfortable *shrug.* The clarity is pretty similar to the Reverb as well.

i forgot to mention. I'm using a lot of 3rd party tools while playing Elite. With VR you need to take of your Headset wile looking at google, or im not sure how would i do that otherwise.

You can press the button on right hand controller and leave game window and have the google window open on virtual desktop then dive back into game
