Definitely worth it, but don't start with driving games, flight simulators, rollercoaster things and such.
From my own experience it's best to take it easy first and "build a tolerance" for the motion sickness part. I've tried "Aircar" on the same day I got my Oculus delivered, and it was not a good idea.
Aircar being this:
I guess the inital queasiness problem for pretty much everyone is the disconnect between what your eyes tell you and what your body feels (you might "see" you are moving but your body would not feel the .. gravity, physics, whatever). You'll need your time to get used to it.
It took me about a week to feel comfortable enough to try Dirt Rally. 20 min sessions and then a break, cold sweats and all. After another week I was all good and played Elite Dangerous, Dirt Rally, Project Cars and that feckin' Aircar for hours, no problems whatsoever. Well, except the whole escapist aspect of it, but it was back in early 2020, lockdowns, so no real regerts there :)
Then again, that was me and everyone is different. Safest option would be to get a "30 days money back guarantee" type of deal.
- +1 to all this. I've got PSVR and went through similar. Now WipEout in VR is fun. I've tried GTA on the VR2 and it's incredible. Will be buying!MrT
- I threw up once playing half life Alyx, that game was beautiful though, never finished it.YakuZoku
- Gran Turismo not GTA and sorry you threw up.MrT
- Your body uses both vision and the inner ear vestibular system to work out its position. If there is a mismatch (your vision tells you your head is moving)drgs
- but your vestibular system does not register any g-forces, you get sickdrgs
- Thanks, all advice appreciated. Don't want to ruin it...Longcopylover
