I picked up a Meta Quest 3s as I had a £200 voucher for John Lewis from work that sold not a lot I could afford but they did have that so having never had one or tried one, I got one and i think it’s ace, so good in fact I bought another today for my kids to share.


The main games we have been playing are Real VR Fishing, This is great, we are all real life coarse fishing fans and we have been playing this loads, we did a multi player session today where side by side we had sharks on as a whale breached next to us as well. it’s just so atmospheric and nice to play.


We also play a lot of mini walkabout golf, again we have 5 local crazy gold courses where we live which we play a lot of and again this is such a great game, love looking for the hidden balls well.


My eldest son and I both play golf, I am a 10 handicap and he is a 6. So we have been playing Golf Plus, again it’s just superb however we do need the golf club extension, coming soon.


I have also played some Beat Saber and The Thrill of the Fight both seem excellent but there is just not enough time or battery charge in the world currently.


The fact I plug it in to my pc and play VR PC games is amazing and works really really well. (I use a cable to reduce lag).


I have installed sidequest and Game optimser as well, both work well however I love playing it as a standalone. Son and I sat downstairs on teh sofa fising and having a laugh is just so cool.


Streaming to the Big Tv so others can laugh at us is also pretty cool, even the wife has been using it to play Synth Riders.


Downsides are the extra costs, comfortable headsets with additional batteries are a must as it seems are some other accessories which soon multiply the cost.


Motion Sickness, my son has none, I have some and the eldest has it bad so we are currently staying away from anything too MS giving like racing games.


It has been a while since some form of gaming has felt so fresh and different, my Birthday in Feb and I think I may pass on my 3s to my eldest and get a 3 for me
:slight_smile:
 
Great to hear you're having fun with it!

Not tried the 3s, but can easily imagine it, had a 2 and now use a 3.

You should have got batman with it for free correct? Or has that offer finished?

I got a Quest 3 a few weeks ago, after playing quest 2 for about 18 month ( so not a newbie) I am finding I am getting some motion sickness on the quest 3 where i didnt on the quest 2 ( same games) has anybody else experienced this?

Possibly because the edges are clear, compared to the blurry fresnels of the Q2. Have you tried turning on vignette or blinders in the games you're playing?

i turned on the movement vignette on one, made it worse i think, the edges moving into to vignette just drew my attention to it.. hopefully ill get used to it
 
Just make sure you stop playing as soon as you feel ill, otherwise you can train your brain to associate being ill with being in VR and you will feel sick even thinking about playing.

I never suffered from VR sickness, but then I played Dungeons of Eternity which involves a lot of frantic movement using the sticks. Was fine for dozens of hours until I got a perk to massively increase movement speed, then started to feel ill. That feeling then lasted for months until I managed to acclimatise again.
