Reviving this thread. Just got Oculus Quest 2, coming from the CV1, it's an awesome upgrade!
Enjoy! I'm loving my Quest 1 especially when using Virtual Desktop over wifi to play SW: Squadrons. Working on getting Skyrim setup this week.Pman17 said:

Awesome! Y'all are gonna love it!exitone said:
Thanks. Over lunch I ordered the 256 thinking the same, so glad to have a little support after dropping the extra change. I guess all that being said, the next question is.... anyone got any good game recommendations?
Thanks for the tip on the side loading, didnt know that.Pman17 said:Awesome! Y'all are gonna love it!exitone said:

My current favorite is Walkabout Mini Golf VR. Beat Saber is great! They added a Battle Royale game called Population One which is pretty cool. Superhot VR is another great game.
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge is coming out on November 19th.
Vader Immortal is kind of cool but it's separated into 3 $10 games. Feels more like a quick theme park VR experience.
FYI, there's a way to side load unapproved Oculus games without jailbreaking. It's called SideQuest. You just enable Developer mode on your Oculus and you can transfer those games from a PC. Oculus Quest games are pretty much Mobile Phone games in size. They're Android .apks.

I have a Quest 1 and love it.
Vader is great if you are a SW fan. The Lightsaber dojo's are pretty fun even outside the movie story.
The most surprising app for me is Supernatural VR. This is a fun and engaging workout program that I have been doing ~5 days a week. Has flavors of beat saber but it is more of workout with a bit of game while beat saber is the opposite. It is sub based @ $19 a month but that is cheap for a work out program.
Superhot is great but after I beat it I haven't messed with it much.
Moss is a nice cute 3d platform/puzzle game. I like it all right but I imagine kids will love it.
I just use my normal Facebook account. I haven't done any multiplayer stuff so that may change someday.exitone said:KidDoc said:

Thanks for the recommendations.
So what is everyone doing with the whole 'Facebook account required' thing? Are there any advantages one way or another in regards to using your primary Facebook account versus creating a bogus one just for the Oculus?
Check out Eye of the Temple. Free demo on Steam.AgSportsFan89 said:
I finally got the sideloaded patch of Virtual Desktop and was able to play Squadrons in full VR mode on my quest2. I just had to run it through steamVR. Man what a different experience that is from just the screen. Like I was playing a different game. It took a while to get everything working, but it was worth the effort

Awesome! I saw this problem during Christmas. Friends and family getting Oculus Quest 2s and having to share one account.
Piracy is an issue. I think there's some way to get Quest games for free. I know you can side load games which I hope they don't block because some of those games don't make it to the Quest Store.
No need to wait.yukmonkey said:
What is the lay of the land these days? I am looking to finally get in the game.
It seems like the Quest 2 is the economic option. What is the $$$ option?
Should I wait on something before entering?

I had a well established patient's dad come in with a Population One shirt on Friday and took the leap to buy the game and ask him for his user ID since I have no RL friends who are dorks like me. I have only played 2 pop one matches so far but it seems pretty dang fun and I can see myself getting into it.
Toss me an invite if you play-- KidDoc99 on Oculus!
Does it still have the same motion tracking type things? Am I walking around in real life to simulate or is it all done via controller?Pman17 said:
The Quest 2 is pretty much as good as the Rift in graphics because most of the popular games aren't graphics intensive. There's a few good ones that need a rig but you're not missing out on a whole lot.
Depends on the game. Most of them you walk with controller but some are "room scale" where you actually walk around. PCVR with Quest 2- Eye of the Temple is the best room scale game I have found where basically your body is the controller.yukmonkey said:Does it still have the same motion tracking type things?
