Two games worth trying are Subside, a swimming game that just released, and Ancient Dungeon, where you physically swing a sword and throw a dagger while spelunking. Also, you can reduce motion sickness in games that appear to lag by reducing your headset's refresh rate, it's an easy to find setting and will increase battery life as well.

Scott, my man. You NEED to play Duck Season. Don't look anything up, don't watch any trailers. Just buy it. It's a nice chill vr version of Duck Hunt from the Nintendo.
YES! Just make sure to mod the game to get custom songs if you want a better experience. Most of the songs that are "Hard" difficulty or lower are not the best but there are some custom song mappers that make good ones. Its mostly trial and error but once you play more, it gets easier and more fun!
*A hack with VR for both figuring out room orientation and soothing motion sickness,* _is simply a fan._ Feeling the fan helps you figure out where you are in the physical room and (for some people) helps your brain compute that you are indeed standing in place.
The thing I found odd about VR is that I get so horribly motion sick in any vehicle but felt nothing while using VR. I don’t think my brain saw it as real, it just felt like I was watching tv or something. I also am really scared of heights and had no problems. I played one of those roller coaster “games” and I just sat there with a blank face because it just felt like I was watching a video. It’s the same disassociation I get when I wear glasses and suddenly it feels like I’m watching everything on a screen.
My brother loves Superhot but gets motion sickness. I’ve been trying to convince him of how much he’ll love Superhot VR, especially as you’re in so much control over your motion!
Hey man! Ally and I were so stoked to see you enjoying the headset! I knew you’d find some really cool games, I was cheering from my couch when you were playing Thrill of the Fight and Pistol Whip 😂 Let me know if you ever want a buddy to play VR with and I’ll hop on
VR protip -- if you put a fan at the "front" of your VR space, you'll always know your direction and position in the room without anything immersion breaking (and ofc it keeps you from sweating as much)
Oh my god that sounds so obvious but I never thought of it. Like I have a fan pointed at me at all times for cooling down, but never thought about using it to orient myself!

My advice to you Do not power through motion sickness If you feel even a bit queasy, take the headset off, wait a good two hours, put it back on. If you expose yourself to it that way, within a week, you'll last 6 hours in intense games. If you power through it, it gets worse, it lasts longer, and it primes you to get motion sick again purely through anticipation.
I get motion sickness even from regular gaming so I usually can only play for an hour in many cases (exception being modern Final Fantasy games. These I can usually play...I dunno, three, four hours or more if I'm really getting into the story, lol. But that's exactly it, I have cutscenes to break up the gameplay and that really helps with the gaming headaches and slight nausea).
A lot of people in the comments, plus myself, use fans to orient ourselves in the play space and help your brain understand that you are standing in place.
Hey, I have a theory on how to get over VR sickness. You mentioned not feeling sick during pistol whip, and that made me think. I used to get pretty bad VR sickness, but kept trying to get over it to play Boneworks (great game, btw), but nothing really worked. In one of the levels, there's a train cart you can control, but it doesn't go far. It immediately slams into a wall, and I found it funny I kept almost stumbling in real life although I knew it there was no actual danger. So I kept playing around with it and being mindful of how I was just standing in a room watching a game, until I no longer stumbled. After this moment, I've had next to zero VR sickness. So if you're willing to put up with crippling VR nausea that goes on for hours for science, you'd make an amazing test subject. They're kinda hard to find.
Also if you find it dull at all, then it’s a good idea to try and build some dancing into the routine! Or if you’re more concerned about cardio, then running on the spot or doing squats really help!
Personally I've a decent amount of gripes: * Instead of going on sale after years of being out, it has gone up in price. * On top of that, it has 609$ worth of DLC. *You have to pay for it separately on both Quest and PCVR, when the Quest version is obviously inferior. I can't support this sort of grift, even with a dedicated modding community.
@@GeekyGami calling beat saber a grift is absolutely fucking wild my guy. It has not gone up in price since it came out, it was $20 in 2018 when it was in early access, when the game was fully released (in 2019, ONE year later) it got raised to $30, something TONS of early access games do because they don't want to charge full price for something that isn't finished yet. The DLC are songs that they had to buy the rights to to make levels, that shit is EXPENSIVE, and you act like LITERALLY ALL of those songs aren't available with community maps with mods for FREE. All of that DLC is just $2 optional levels. I'm not super familiar with quest, but isn't it the case with all games that when you buy them in the quest store you don't also get them in steam?
The actual cool thing about cardio is that if your heart rate is above like 110 for a couple minutes you’re actively burning calories and providing cardiovascular exercise no matter the action
Coincidentally I looked this up earlier because I was worried 110 wouldn’t be enough to get anything out of it. Apparently you’re getting a workout as long as you’re hitting 50-85% of your maximum heart rate, which is calculated as 220 minus how old you are! Was very reassuring, because I can’t last long at all with higher intensities, and you end up swearing up a storm.
@@Evanz111 "50-85% of your maximum heart rate, which is calculated as 220 minus how old you are" My brain can't make head or tails of this statement. Can you rephrase or link to your source?
@@cruztastropheYour maximum heart rate is calculated as 220 minus your age, and you’re getting a workout as long as your heart rate is in the range of 50 to 85% of that number you calculated.
@@cruztastrophe I don't know if what they said is true but what they mean is basically if you're 35 then your max heart rate would be 185 bpm and you want to hit somewhere between 93 bpm and 157 bpm.
I can't wait for multi-directional walking pads to be good (and affordable) so VR can be used for better entertaining home exercise! Imagine running around in VR Breath Of The Wild while running IRL???
You can get a katwalk C slidemill for 1000$, I've tried one and its awesome. The price is amazing compared to the rest of the market. And its compatible with all VR games! so you could do a marathon through all of skyrim VR
Despite the added price of the Katwalk C2, I wouldn't recommend the original knowing it's limitations. I'd personally prefer not being locked to just going forward if I'm walking around in VR for hours.
@@Phantomdude I think VR treadmill needs to be compact or collapsible in order to hit mainstream. I'd pay more than $1k if I can fold it up and put it under my bed or up against the wall.
Scott, some people look cool AF on beat saber. I am not one of them, but I've seen them. They basically turn it into an actual dance with the breaking blocks as part of the choreography.
My dad used to do Tai chi with a group of coworkers after work a couple times a week. He said he was drenched and out of breath by the end, for it being all incredibly slow movements. You playing Superhot looked really similar 😂
Two hours ago i was thinking "you know, i wonder when Scott is gonna upload another video" Now ive checked my phone and theres a scott cramer video in my feed. Is this the level of power scott felt when he got Disney to get the disney channel games back on Disney+??? I wonder....
Scott, get a silcone cover for your headset if you haven't already. Should help prevent getting a rash. IIRC there was a recall or something about the Quest 2 causing skin irritation.
Scott, PLEASE play Tetris Effect on the VR. Don't even look up footage, and play with the audio on too. It's a uniquely wonderful gaming experience to go through blind.
Give Beat Saber a chance, the beginner levels can be boring but once you hit the right difficulty for you, its an intense workout and a ton of fun. It also has multiplayer, and competing with friends or random people can be very motivating. Just make sure you actually dance. Some like to min-max and mainly use their wrist.
@@senaeuI’ll say, the original 1st ost tracks kinda sucked, but as they’ve updated it the newer tracks, and especially the dlc, are really where the fun comes in So if all he ever played were those first ones years ago, then it could be worth another shot
You’re the first person I’ve heard who’s played beat saber and not liked it. I haven’t played it and now I feel better about not having done it. So, thanks Scott!
@@snuggs930 Honestly, that’s so cool that your dad plays beat saber. I wanna try it but don’t have a VR headset and most of my friends aren’t big gamers.
You should try thrill of the figh on hard mode, i really like ring fit because it entertained me while exercise but thrill of the fight always kill me in just 30 minutes
Thrill of the Fight is the best game for a workout on VR! It helped me lose over 50 pounds post covid and got me back into do some sort of physical shape everyday. 100% recommend!
Best fitness game for VR by a mile. It left me with aching muscles the first time and was pretty much the only thing I did on the Quest for months until I could beat all enemies on all difficulties. Can't wait for the coming sequel.
Oh damn, massive kudos to you for that! I’ve been trying to get healthier and lose weight, but I ended up playing Creed: Rise to Glory instead. It definitely gets my heart rate up but feels a bit awkward, so maybe I should give that one a shot instead!
I do feel like I need to stand up for Supernatural. As someone with a chronic pain disorder and an inability to find a workout routine that I've been able to stick to and that actually helps my pain instead of worsen it, it the only thing that has been effective. And part of that is having coaches reminding me to stretch and breathe through the whole thing.
We are so happy you are loving the plan Dylan created for you! We hope it will helps with all the VR running in place you are doing 🤣Thank you so much for sharing your fitness journey so far!
I genuinely don't understand how anyone can dislike Beatsabre, I get not loving it but it feels too simple a concept to dislike. Just music and light sabres.
VR motion sickness tip: check the settings on your games! A big issue is peripheral vision, so a lot of games will include a setting to black out your peripheral vision while you’re moving. It’s a major game changer
Pistol Whip and Beat Saber are a couple of my favorites! That being said, I've only ever used VR once for a few hours, so i don't have much of a leg to stand on! Great video!!
As a VR veteran now (3+ years) I'd say that a lot of the motion sickness goes away with time -- but you need to go slow and just go with the flow. Also -- you're totally right about framerate! If something dips below a certain framerate in VR, you'll naturally feel queasy. Loved the vid!
As far as I'm concerned, Pistol Whip is not only one of the most fun VR games ever, but expert kicks the hell out of me. Best workout in VR, absolutely. So happy you tried and liked it because I was going to come here and recommend it if you didn't.
Scott Cramer, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Little Big Planet was my favorite game growing up and hearing you reference it was like a jolt to the brain!! Please make a video about your levels/experience playing it!!!
I was actually just trying to think of ways I can get more active after I get off work, and also try to revisit one of my old hobbies. I am glad I saw this video, definitely gave me some ideas for new games I can try on my VR.
The models in Thrill of The Fight look amazing. I couldn't help thinking when he turned to talk to the watches that they look like sims 🤣 Also I would LOVE to see Scott play Gorilla Tag, but please be ware no one's around you and that you hide all your breakables! Can't forget all the Jamesskii videos where someone ends up hitting something in their room from all the motion and disorientation
wether your doing vr workouts, lifting weights, swingin kettlebells, doing yoga, running, biking, boxing, martial arts, walking whatever we're all going to commit to ourselves and stay active and healthy for our futures!!!!!
Hey, one of the best accessories I could recommend for vr is a controller grip they make your hands feel way more comfortable and it feels more imersive for grabbing things since you can fully let go of the controller
Thrill of the fight is an amazing VR game. It's a great workout and really fun. Only complaint is not enough opponents. There's only a handful of boxers to fight
If you try more, Holopoint is one I used to super vibe with! Archery based gameplay but the targets shoot back at you after you hit them, so it's a lot of movement via dodging and turning. Bonus, you're in one spot so you don't get too queasy!
If you like action and are already used to some violence in videogames, Blade and Sorcery is pretty damn good. It even has settings for more or less realism in its combat simulations, depending on your comfort level
12:32 can indeed confirm that the climb really starts to work your arms after you do a few levels! keeping your arms above your head like that for so long gets super tiring lol
I already see an issue here: you didn't play Blade and Sorcery. Nothing has gotten me more immersed in a 2-hour long cardio session than stabbing hoards of mercenaries in B&S.
I’ve tried B&S for some exercise but I find myself planting myself on the spot too much. Do you need an open space to get a workout from it, or am I just playing it wrong?
@@Evanz111 I think it depends on how actively you engage in fights. I play in a relatively small area, about the bare minimum for a Quest 2, but it's enough to dodge, reposition, and generally be aggressive. There's a little wall smacking involved but that's the price you pay for glory.
@@SenseiSeth VR motion sickness is so hit and miss with people. For some reason, I don't get it whatsoever, so twirling around in Blade and Sorcery just feels natural to me. I can definitely see that it's one of the more nausea inducing VR games though.
Pistol whip is by far my favorite VR game. Especially within its genre of “active rhythm?” It is the absolute best and only VR game I actually actively grinded. That game had a choke hold on me and I’m so happy you got to experience that game also! It’s just so dadgum good.
Was watching excpecting rumble any second! (Earthbending+fighting other people) Surprised it didn’t come up-please do a sequel and play rumble! It’s a game that will 100% give you a workout no questions asked.
Pro tip: Stand on a small round rug so you always know where you are in the room. I am so thrilled to see you finally try real VR! If you get a chance to try the Quest 3 headset I highly recommend it. Also try hooking your headset up to your computer for more VR games with even better graphics. Phasmophobia in VR is one of the scariest things I have done in my whole life and I highly recommend it!!
Hearing you dont like beatsaber is crazy! Thats got to be some kind of bias rooted in there or not having a good first experience cause all of the games where you hit stuff coming at you are basically the same with beatsaber doing it with the most polish and song choices. Would be curious what you would think if you tried it again years later. The most interesting avenue of vr fitness I've seen is personal trainers in games like vrchat or other social games. I think there is a lot of future potential to be had there since at least to me, the other fitness games feel very disconnected from reality
I for some reason haven’t been seeing your uploads on my feed which is upsetting because I love your content and your sense of humor! Congrats on fatherhood I had no idea you had children
not a VR game but my go to is ring fit adventure on the switch for working out. its like a turn based rpg where you fight by doing exercises. its surprisingly alot of fun and effective at pushing me to work out. you should check it out!
Yes!!! This was one of my gateways into gaming fitness. I had a Mandela effect memory of Scott making a video on it before but I don’t think he has. Such a great level of variety and cardio + resistance training with the ring!
Ok, strugglers, we’re lacking-struggling, if I may. It’s shameful, quite frankly, that Scott’s not at a million subscribers already. After all the work he’s put it? New viewers of the channel, first of all subscribe already, but if this video somehow hasn’t convinced you to subscribe check out some of Scott’s best videos. (In my opinion) - The Reality Show for Superheroes - The Whodunnit Series - I Can’t Believe PBS Kids Aired This Episode Seriously tho, I can’t count how many times I’ve laughed until my stomach hurt watching this channel. I’ve been watching since 2021 and he’s never failed to put a smile on my face. You’re doing more for yourself than him by subscribing.
“Playing Beat Saber Until I No Longer Hate It” video for the second channel incoming hahaha, YOU’VE CONVINCED ME!!!
Two games worth trying are Subside, a swimming game that just released, and Ancient Dungeon, where you physically swing a sword and throw a dagger while spelunking. Also, you can reduce motion sickness in games that appear to lag by reducing your headset's refresh rate, it's an easy to find setting and will increase battery life as well.

*A hack with VR for both figuring out room orientation and soothing motion sickness,* _is simply a fan._ Feeling the fan helps you figure out where you are in the physical room and (for some people) helps your brain compute that you are indeed standing in place.
I have a fan that's always on and it does help
and also, a fan helps you cool down when you do something extremely physical, which has been a real lifesaver for me in the past.
I also use a circular rubber mat on my floor so I can recenter myself in my room easier.
I feel like this depends. I would have a few fans on and I still get motion sickness but that’s only in VR games with walking movements in it

My advice to you
Do not power through motion sickness
If you feel even a bit queasy, take the headset off, wait a good two hours, put it back on.
If you expose yourself to it that way, within a week, you'll last 6 hours in intense games.
If you power through it, it gets worse, it lasts longer, and it primes you to get motion sick again purely through anticipation.
oh hey i've seen you before lol
Oddly enough I powered through it over the course of like 2 nights and was good from that point onward

These I can usually play...I dunno, three, four hours or more if I'm really getting into the story, lol.

You mentioned not feeling sick during pistol whip, and that made me think.
I used to get pretty bad VR sickness, but kept trying to get over it to play Boneworks (great game, btw), but nothing really worked.
In one of the levels, there's a train cart you can control, but it doesn't go far. It immediately slams into a wall, and I found it funny I kept almost stumbling in real life although I knew it there was no actual danger. So I kept playing around with it and being mindful of how I was just standing in a room watching a game, until I no longer stumbled. After this moment, I've had next to zero VR sickness.
So if you're willing to put up with crippling VR nausea that goes on for hours for science, you'd make an amazing test subject. They're kinda hard to find.
Hello notch! ❤
Which headset do you use?
Interesting. I am lucky not to have VR nausea but that is a fascinating observation. I hope more people can persist and overcome it.

oooh notch!
Thanks for playing Pistol Whip! We're thrilled to hear you had a ton of fun (don't forget to stretch and hydrate!)
Hope to see you on the leaderboards
Your game is amazing! keep developing ❤
Shout out to the pistol whip enjoyers!
We know this is all in preparation for the upcoming Cramer Games
Currently watching this while eating a family size bag of jalapeno chips.
As you should
At least it's not half of a little Caesars pizza....😅

Did not expect the beat saber hate! Beat saber is my favorite VR game. It helps when you add songs you like!
Yes!
Also if you find it dull at all, then it’s a good idea to try and build some dancing into the routine! Or if you’re more concerned about cardio, then running on the spot or doing squats really help!
Personally I've a decent amount of gripes:
* Instead of going on sale after years of being out, it has gone up in price.
* On top of that, it has 609$ worth of DLC.
*You have to pay for it separately on both Quest and PCVR, when the Quest version is obviously inferior.
I can't support this sort of grift, even with a dedicated modding community.
"You're all rigid. You're like a bread stick."
Personally, I loved beat saber.
@@GeekyGami calling beat saber a grift is absolutely fucking wild my guy. It has not gone up in price since it came out, it was $20 in 2018 when it was in early access, when the game was fully released (in 2019, ONE year later) it got raised to $30, something TONS of early access games do because they don't want to charge full price for something that isn't finished yet. The DLC are songs that they had to buy the rights to to make levels, that shit is EXPENSIVE, and you act like LITERALLY ALL of those songs aren't available with community maps with mods for FREE. All of that DLC is just $2 optional levels. I'm not super familiar with quest, but isn't it the case with all games that when you buy them in the quest store you don't also get them in steam?
The actual cool thing about cardio is that if your heart rate is above like 110 for a couple minutes you’re actively burning calories and providing cardiovascular exercise no matter the action
Coincidentally I looked this up earlier because I was worried 110 wouldn’t be enough to get anything out of it.
Apparently you’re getting a workout as long as you’re hitting 50-85% of your maximum heart rate, which is calculated as 220 minus how old you are!
Was very reassuring, because I can’t last long at all with higher intensities, and you end up swearing up a storm.
@@Evanz111 "50-85% of your maximum heart rate, which is calculated as 220 minus how old you are"
My brain can't make head or tails of this statement. Can you rephrase or link to your source?
@@cruztastropheYour maximum heart rate is calculated as 220 minus your age, and you’re getting a workout as long as your heart rate is in the range of 50 to 85% of that number you calculated.
@@debora13897 220 - age = X
Effective range is 50%-80% of X
Got it
@@cruztastrophe I don't know if what they said is true but what they mean is basically if you're 35 then your max heart rate would be 185 bpm and you want to hit somewhere between 93 bpm and 157 bpm.
I can't wait for multi-directional walking pads to be good (and affordable) so VR can be used for better entertaining home exercise! Imagine running around in VR Breath Of The Wild while running IRL???
realll ✨
You can get a katwalk C slidemill for 1000$, I've tried one and its awesome. The price is amazing compared to the rest of the market. And its compatible with all VR games! so you could do a marathon through all of skyrim VR
Despite the added price of the Katwalk C2, I wouldn't recommend the original knowing it's limitations. I'd personally prefer not being locked to just going forward if I'm walking around in VR for hours.
@@Phantomdude I think VR treadmill needs to be compact or collapsible in order to hit mainstream. I'd pay more than $1k if I can fold it up and put it under my bed or up against the wall.
Scott, some people look cool AF on beat saber. I am not one of them, but I've seen them. They basically turn it into an actual dance with the breaking blocks as part of the choreography.
7:41 "The haters don't want me to have a gun" ~12-time felon Scott Cramer
I wasnt expecting the lowkey delivery of "Who do you think you are?? I am!!" At 10:45 LOL i had to rewind and listen to it again
It’s like when my uncle reads out a meme 😂
Yeah I also had to go back and hear that again
My dad used to do Tai chi with a group of coworkers after work a couple times a week. He said he was drenched and out of breath by the end, for it being all incredibly slow movements. You playing Superhot looked really similar 😂
Didn’t know you had 2 babies Scott! I had my one year old when my 3 year old was 2. It’s a crazy life!
Same when he said 2 kids I was like wait a minute when did the second kid happen. I knew abt 1 of them.
the giant smile you had on your face after talking to your kid 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
2:16 two kids!?!?
Alternate Title: Scott struggling to get into Jaiden’s league
Now that you have an actual headset we need you to play some horror games
PLEASE
0:14 there names are noah and allie that’s so cute
Congratulations on Scott being the first one to play Super Hot since 2017
My library has a VR they use frequently. Super Hot is a favorite apparently
The VR version is much more replayable I swear 😢
@@Evanz111yeah, more replayable with 99% of the story taken out
this man’s videos are the only thing i watch on the internet that consistently leave me feeling like i actually spent my time well. good job scotty
"shot out to my little buddy!" after kicking a dudes ass and punching a ref is crazy
Two hours ago i was thinking "you know, i wonder when Scott is gonna upload another video"
Now ive checked my phone and theres a scott cramer video in my feed. Is this the level of power scott felt when he got Disney to get the disney channel games back on Disney+??? I wonder....
Scott, get a silcone cover for your headset if you haven't already. Should help prevent getting a rash. IIRC there was a recall or something about the Quest 2 causing skin irritation.
Scott, PLEASE play Tetris Effect on the VR. Don't even look up footage, and play with the audio on too. It's a uniquely wonderful gaming experience to go through blind.
Does it help with fitness? 😭
@@Evanz111 Not important
@@Evanz111 fitness piece between others to get points
Give Beat Saber a chance, the beginner levels can be boring but once you hit the right difficulty for you, its an intense workout and a ton of fun. It also has multiplayer, and competing with friends or random people can be very motivating. Just make sure you actually dance. Some like to min-max and mainly use their wrist.
i mean i'd say he sort of gave it "a chance" already he seemed to know what he didn't like about it well enough
@@senaeu I mean, all he said was that it was "Boring", which sounds like he was just playing maps below his skill level
+1 to the dancing suggestion. It’s the only way I can enjoy songs below 5 notes-per-second anymore
@@senaeuI’ll say, the original 1st ost tracks kinda sucked, but as they’ve updated it the newer tracks, and especially the dlc, are really where the fun comes in
So if all he ever played were those first ones years ago, then it could be worth another shot
@@beanstalks1028 I love the Linkin Park packs especially. Such great music
Scott talking like his kid is unbelievably funny, adorable, and amazingly accurate to how a toddler talks
You’re the first person I’ve heard who’s played beat saber and not liked it. I haven’t played it and now I feel better about not having done it. So, thanks Scott!
My dad really liked it until he side stepped into the wall lol
@@snuggs930 Honestly, that’s so cool that your dad plays beat saber. I wanna try it but don’t have a VR headset and most of my friends aren’t big gamers.
Scott, if you want a workout + be competitive + be a cool guy - Rumble will be your new addiction

I got more out of the RingFit game on Switch than I would've on these. That RingFit game kicked my entire ass
You should try thrill of the figh on hard mode, i really like ring fit because it entertained me while exercise but thrill of the fight always kill me in just 30 minutes
I have that game and I can tell you there are experiences in VR that do much more for me.
"Ow" - Scott most of the time
Thrill of the Fight is the best game for a workout on VR! It helped me lose over 50 pounds post covid and got me back into do some sort of physical shape everyday. 100% recommend!
Best fitness game for VR by a mile. It left me with aching muscles the first time and was pretty much the only thing I did on the Quest for months until I could beat all enemies on all difficulties. Can't wait for the coming sequel.
Oh damn, massive kudos to you for that! I’ve been trying to get healthier and lose weight, but I ended up playing Creed: Rise to Glory instead.
It definitely gets my heart rate up but feels a bit awkward, so maybe I should give that one a shot instead!
@@Evanz111 definitely try it out! The gameplay is fluid and does feel like a real scrap.
Heckkk yes
I do feel like I need to stand up for Supernatural. As someone with a chronic pain disorder and an inability to find a workout routine that I've been able to stick to and that actually helps my pain instead of worsen it, it the only thing that has been effective. And part of that is having coaches reminding me to stretch and breathe through the whole thing.
I think the first one and other games like it would be better suited to walking/running/jogging on a treadmill so it keeps you in place
We are so happy you are loving the plan Dylan created for you! We hope it will helps with all the VR running in place you are doing 🤣Thank you so much for sharing your fitness journey so far!
Nothing will ever beat the minigame in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat where the goal is to hit the bongo as many times as you can
I genuinely don't understand how anyone can dislike Beatsabre, I get not loving it but it feels too simple a concept to dislike. Just music and light sabres.
Thrill of the Fight is legit no joke. It’s a simulation boxing game that uses your stamina as the stamina. Scott isn’t joking. It will kick your butt.
This video just makes me realize that Scott needs a gaming channel
Hell yes!
VR motion sickness tip: check the settings on your games! A big issue is peripheral vision, so a lot of games will include a setting to black out your peripheral vision while you’re moving. It’s a major game changer
Scott, thank you for always being so Cramer
apologizing for not blam-blamming the guy in pistol whip is the most Midwestern you have ever been and I've seen all your ND based videos
Funny how folks tell ya not sit so close to the screen, and actively attaching it to your face is considered " advanced gaming " 😂
that first one kind of seems like a prank on people to see how many they can get to run into/off of things.
“Michelle, I literally just made you a smoothie” kills me😂😭
next video scotts gonna rock six pack abs
My calves are juiced
Happy Friday, Strugglers!🎉
25:00 i just lost it! i was not expecting that!
Pistol Whip and Beat Saber are a couple of my favorites! That being said, I've only ever used VR once for a few hours, so i don't have much of a leg to stand on! Great video!!
As a VR veteran now (3+ years) I'd say that a lot of the motion sickness goes away with time -- but you need to go slow and just go with the flow.
Also -- you're totally right about framerate! If something dips below a certain framerate in VR, you'll naturally feel queasy.
Loved the vid!
I don't think Scott understands what the main mechanic in Pistol Whip is. Bro was playing it like it's CoD.
Wait what is the main mechanic in it if not shooting people and dodging bullets?
@@Evanz111 Its a rhythm game iirc so you have to shoot on beat with the music
35:04 Cutie spotted!
As far as I'm concerned, Pistol Whip is not only one of the most fun VR games ever, but expert kicks the hell out of me. Best workout in VR, absolutely. So happy you tried and liked it because I was going to come here and recommend it if you didn't.
He is the peak of gaming perfection
I highly recommend Synth Riders. I like it more than Beat Saber. Its graphics are gorgeous and the mechanics and atomosphere are too notch!
Came here to say this
Scott Cramer, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Little Big Planet was my favorite game growing up and hearing you reference it was like a jolt to the brain!! Please make a video about your levels/experience playing it!!!
I was actually just trying to think of ways I can get more active after I get off work, and also try to revisit one of my old hobbies. I am glad I saw this video, definitely gave me some ideas for new games I can try on my VR.
28:15 "Think about your kids. Think about your wife. It's not worth it buddy!" 😭😂
DUUUUDE! I'VE MISSED YOU! Was missing your videos last night. Good to see you!
Holy crap the Thrill of the Fight section had me crying 😂
For real though, it is an incredibly good workout
6:39 this looks similar to the real sport squash. My dad and brother used to go to the gym every week to play.
TWO KIDS?!
The models in Thrill of The Fight look amazing. I couldn't help thinking when he turned to talk to the watches that they look like sims 🤣
Also I would LOVE to see Scott play Gorilla Tag, but please be ware no one's around you and that you hide all your breakables! Can't forget all the Jamesskii videos where someone ends up hitting something in their room from all the motion and disorientation
2:16 I'm sorry... TWO KIDS?! WHEN?! HOW?! So happy for you and Jaden! 🫶
wether your doing vr workouts, lifting weights, swingin kettlebells, doing yoga, running, biking, boxing, martial arts, walking whatever we're all going to commit to ourselves and stay active and healthy for our futures!!!!!
All of it is progress in the right direction!
The mashed banana Wiggles reference caught me so off guard, I laughed out loud. Dad joke of the year award goes to Scott.
Hey, one of the best accessories I could recommend for vr is a controller grip they make your hands feel way more comfortable and it feels more imersive for grabbing things since you can fully let go of the controller
Thrill of the fight is an amazing VR game. It's a great workout and really fun. Only complaint is not enough opponents. There's only a handful of boxers to fight
If you try more, Holopoint is one I used to super vibe with! Archery based gameplay but the targets shoot back at you after you hit them, so it's a lot of movement via dodging and turning. Bonus, you're in one spot so you don't get too queasy!
If you like action and are already used to some violence in videogames, Blade and Sorcery is pretty damn good. It even has settings for more or less realism in its combat simulations, depending on your comfort level
Great Video! Vader immortal games are sick I played the crap out of them!
12:32 can indeed confirm that the climb really starts to work your arms after you do a few levels! keeping your arms above your head like that for so long gets super tiring lol
I already see an issue here: you didn't play Blade and Sorcery. Nothing has gotten me more immersed in a 2-hour long cardio session than stabbing hoards of mercenaries in B&S.
I’ve tried B&S for some exercise but I find myself planting myself on the spot too much. Do you need an open space to get a workout from it, or am I just playing it wrong?
@@Evanz111 I think it depends on how actively you engage in fights. I play in a relatively small area, about the bare minimum for a Quest 2, but it's enough to dodge, reposition, and generally be aggressive. There's a little wall smacking involved but that's the price you pay for glory.
Blade and Sorcery sends me straight to barf city
@@SenseiSeth VR motion sickness is so hit and miss with people. For some reason, I don't get it whatsoever, so twirling around in Blade and Sorcery just feels natural to me. I can definitely see that it's one of the more nausea inducing VR games though.
Pistol whip is so good. I recommend doing the campaign it has different bosses and weapons you can use
Most fun I've had in VR, and I'm dripping sweat after 10 minutes.
It destroys my knees with the circle dodges 😭
EVERY VR fitness game? I am sorry Scott, but considering that this video is not age-restricted, you have most certainly not played all of them :X
Pistol whip is by far my favorite VR game. Especially within its genre of “active rhythm?” It is the absolute best and only VR game I actually actively grinded. That game had a choke hold on me and I’m so happy you got to experience that game also! It’s just so dadgum good.
Was watching excpecting rumble any second! (Earthbending+fighting other people) Surprised it didn’t come up-please do a sequel and play rumble!
It’s a game that will 100% give you a workout no questions asked.
I saw that game mentioned once! Is it multiplayer-only? Or can you play it solo?
Earthbending?!?!? That’s sick
Like count was at 666, but don’t worry, I fixed it. Gotta keep up the PBS culture.
Pro tip: Stand on a small round rug so you always know where you are in the room.
I am so thrilled to see you finally try real VR! If you get a chance to try the Quest 3 headset I highly recommend it. Also try hooking your headset up to your computer for more VR games with even better graphics. Phasmophobia in VR is one of the scariest things I have done in my whole life and I highly recommend it!!
I traded in my Quest 2 for a 3 and it was one of the best decisions I made for my fitness. So much easier, convenient and lightweight to use!
Hearing you dont like beatsaber is crazy! Thats got to be some kind of bias rooted in there or not having a good first experience cause all of the games where you hit stuff coming at you are basically the same with beatsaber doing it with the most polish and song choices. Would be curious what you would think if you tried it again years later.
The most interesting avenue of vr fitness I've seen is personal trainers in games like vrchat or other social games. I think there is a lot of future potential to be had there since at least to me, the other fitness games feel very disconnected from reality
I for some reason haven’t been seeing your uploads on my feed which is upsetting because I love your content and your sense of humor! Congrats on fatherhood I had no idea you had children
The part where you tried to look at Garrets rump and also had to beat up a lady I can't lmao
Scott just being a dad is heartwarming to me 🥹
Good video Scott! 😊
Thrill of the fight is by far my favorite vr game. It definitely makes every punch feel real and it makes me absolutely not want to get hit.
17:03 "and it made me feel..."
"Like a piece of shit!" - tourettes guy and colgate toothpaste (the one with tartar control)
Dude! You gotta try Gorn! That ish is one hell of a workout!
not a VR game but my go to is ring fit adventure on the switch for working out. its like a turn based rpg where you fight by doing exercises. its surprisingly alot of fun and effective at pushing me to work out. you should check it out!
Yes!!! This was one of my gateways into gaming fitness. I had a Mandela effect memory of Scott making a video on it before but I don’t think he has. Such a great level of variety and cardio + resistance training with the ring!
Ok, strugglers, we’re lacking-struggling, if I may. It’s shameful, quite frankly, that Scott’s not at a million subscribers already. After all the work he’s put it? New viewers of the channel, first of all subscribe already, but if this video somehow hasn’t convinced you to subscribe check out some of Scott’s best videos. (In my opinion)
- The Reality Show for Superheroes
- The Whodunnit Series
- I Can’t Believe PBS Kids Aired This Episode
Seriously tho, I can’t count how many times I’ve laughed until my stomach hurt watching this channel. I’ve been watching since 2021 and he’s never failed to put a smile on my face. You’re doing more for yourself than him by subscribing.
0:03 That’s not the last time I saw you 🤔😏
👀💛❤️💙💚
No wayyyyyyy CRAMER GAMES
GOOOOOO… TIGERS!!! 🐅
Yea wait a minute
I've been waiting for the day Scott's stamp of approval would return
Pistol Whip has been my #1 favourite VR game for years! Absolutely love it! Really hope the team makes more
