I enjoy it. The price was really cheap before they changed the name from Oculus Quest 2 to Meta Quest 2. Was only like $200 for the full set. Don't think the price will be a heavy barrier of entry for VR for long considering what the PS5 sits around.

I mostly play games to be single player experiences more than multiplayer. So I do actually really appreciate the immersion level of VR, counter to me knocking it pretty hard in my initial post. I do think the tech is awesome, 3D immersive sound and motion controls is all deeply fun.

As far as interacting with others, I just find it limited. I think microphone chat in a virtual space with an avatar that you wave your hands is kind of where it tapers off. A lot of people like to share more than just speech or text with each other.

Also, you can't really drink or eat while playing VR while you can playing games at the desktop, table or couch, so there's that as far as talking about social aspects of gaming.
