It isn't literally my first dip, I had an Occulus Rift. Most of the games were the equivalent of shitty flash games from 2005 and I was pretty sure standalone VR was a ripoff, but I got my PC to stream to it via Stream Theater and played Alien:Isolation with a wireless controller.
The experience was insanely immersive in the moments where I wasn't battling issues with only having 3 degrees of freedom, arms attached to the side of my head, nauseating cut-scenes, unreadable menus, and controller issues.
Yeah if youve not played VR for a long while its 200% better now in my experience.
Half Life Alyx is imo a genre-defining game, plus there's a load of quality VR titles now compared to the experimental stuff that VR started with.
Ive got a Quest 1, which works just fine without a PC (Feels great to play games without a cable attached) but getting it working for PCVR is quite easy too. Not plug-and-play just yet but I've been able to use it like a Rift or Vive without the massive price, or dozens of base station things
