@@Honosuseri If I'd have still been doing my 3 hour commute to London, I'd have given it more consideration in all honesty. Good to hear you're getting your money's worth!
Yeah I absolutely love the thing! I'm even playing games I didn't think I would on it like Elite Dangerous. I have set the touch pads to work as radial menus to activate landing gear, cargo scoop, wingman commands etc. etc. It plays really well although it's not the same as doing it in VR with my HOTAS setup granted. As much as it will irk Nintendo I can also emulate Wii U and Switch games very well, making the Deck more versatile than owning a Switch. I've not done this video to twist people's arms into buying a deck...just to help those who were considering grabbing one.
i would but i'm waiting to see if they will do another vr unit. I think im done with Meta, the Q3 lineup isn't very promising. I guess i could get one as computer I can use while on vacation since it has a hdmi hookup
I wish Meta would do a direct connection to the PC like we had with it's Rift S headset. That would cut out the latency we have with Air Link or Virtual Desktop which really annoys me. I'm not impressed with the games we can play on the Quest headsets standalone. Even if Valve release "Deckard" soon their next VR headset...what are we going to play on it? PC graphics cards are so expensive which limits the PCVR player base, so we don't really see many quality PCVR titles being released...developers will go where the money is and that's the standalone headsets with the larger player base. I can say I've had more use out of my Steam Deck than my VR headsets. I've not done this video to entice people into buying a Steam Deck, just to help those considering buying one.
@@Honosuseri For me I can deal with lower graphics but the gameplay of majority of quest 2 games are thin. I bought the system mainly expecting to see a flood of vr fps games but it has been lacking in that department for how easy fps work in vr. I'm hoping someone could port some N64 shooters or PS1 shooters on the system. I figure valve would release a few titles that were more quality based and others would follow.
@@Honosuseri yea thats the sad thing, the vr games are really mods of flatgames. I personally don't think the design philosophy is that huge of difference between flat and vr to the point the quality of the games produced should drop. Outside of mods, IMO 7-10% of the quest 2 library is actually good and i don't count rhythm and narrative games.

Interesting but not for me at this time. Maybe the next gen
That's fair enough Stu. I can say I've had more use out of the Deck than I have the VR headsets in all honesty though.

Yeah it's crazy how some of the best FPS games are just VR mods for old classic games like Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, Jedi Knight etc.
