Long story short, my kids saved up, I chipped in about a third of the money and they got themselves OQ2. I admit, I am sceptical about any standalone VR set, so I didn't want to buy it, but they were persistent enough and convinced me in the end. And I must say, I am very pleasantly surprised.

I don’t care that much for how good chip inside of it is (it is mobile chip, and it is good enough for descent enough visuals). What I was most worried about is inside-out tracking (that is, it has no external tracking stations for outside-in tracking)...but, tracking is actually quite good. My experience with VR comes from Oculus DK2, some PSVR, HTC Vive Pro and now OQ2. Honestly, I don’t quite remember DK2, but my overall feel is that OQ2 has better tracking than PSVR (which I must say I didn’t like much), but it is not quite as good as Vive, though it is pretty close. My go to game for checking new sets is Arizona Sunshine (since it’s about on any platform and requires headshots, given it’s about zombies) and I noticed some slight wobble while I’m holding the gun, unlike with Vive where it was very tight – it didn’t bothered me much, but I’ve noticed the difference right away. On the other hand, Walking Dead didn’t have that problem, so there’s that...

Screen resolution is very good, IMO (and by specs) better than Vive, but screen door effect is still noticable. Horizontal field of view is around 90, so it’s not the greatest (compared to Vive’s declared 110, but more of 95-100 in reality), but I knew what to expect...I don’t think there’ll be Pimax alike VR is this price bracket any time soon.

Nice thing about it is that you can draw several play areas around the house and it will detect where you are when you put it on. It will warn you if you’re touching borders of the zone with your hands (border shows up and turns red) and it will switch to camera view once you step outside of it. That was my other concern since it’s not connected to any cables, and you’re free to roam, but defining play area and the way it handles it assured me that there will be no broken things around the house (so far, so good).

Game selection is quite good and at $300 in US it is very affordable (though not as affordable in Europe at 400+ euros) for 128GB model. I didn’t think this day will come so soon, but I would actually recommend it for anyone interested in jumping into VR and not wanting to invest a lot.

Oh and there’s option for linking to PC so you can stream PC VR games to it (via WiFi or cable)  – haven’t tried that so far (haven't got around it to be honest), but for those who have good enough PCs it is probably best entry point for that as well, while providing standalone experience in the same time.

I hear this is wireless! There's a huge plus!

It's standalone device, you don't need anything else to play it out of the box (to play games from Oculus store). If you want to connect it to PC and stream PC games then there's option of Airlink (wifi) or via their Link cable (though, if I understand correctly, any cable will do, if it provides required bandwidth).

My Quest 2 was definitely a good, affordable, introduction to VR. It was a no brainer considering you can use it as PCVR too. In the future I might get a more high-end device with a higher FOV (the thing that bothers me most about the Q2) but I am not in a rush to upgrade until something quite advance comes around. I also like that Meta keeps upgrading and supporting it. Since I bought it last year they added higher refresh rates and other hardware compatibility features.

I wish more people would give it a chance--though it seems to be selling extremely well. Such a versatile little piece of tech! They're always updating it with new features and they nail it every time. I think I enjoy it more than regular console gaming.

And I think it stomps the PSVR in every way except graphics complexity. If there's a game for PSVR that is also available for the Quest 2, I buy the Quest version. I've even re-purchased several games that I already own on PSVR because the Quest is just a better experience.

I use a OQ2. Played Half Life Alyx and RE4 VR on it and it blew my mind. Best VR headset with so much more potential.

You can Stream your PC games on it too if need be which is what i did.

Also wanted to add, Resident Evil 4 VR is exclusive only to this device and its awesome.

You have to download the Virtual Desktop app and change your OQ2 to content creator mode (Or something like that) to stream your PC library games wireless. Otherwise the cable is as simple as plug and play.

Thier are quick guides to help with the one time set up. If using a cable, id recommend using Oculas Official cable (overpriced but good quality) or a high quality counter part to get the best experience. Dont use cheap sh#$.

I've been sitting tight on VR, as my experiences are strangely spread out in weird ways. I first tried VR wayyyyy back when I stood in a small cage, the headset IPD was so terrible that I had trouble focusing, and the graphics were about as good as StarFox 64, and I had a simple "gun" in my hand. No movement, the game moved on rails, and I just looked around and pointed at things.

Fast forward to my toe-dipping along the years, and I've even tried mobile phone headsets as well as PSVR. I've continued to hold off because the graphical fidelity and FOV just aren't cutting it for me, yet, and the ones that SEEM like they have the necessary requirements are either a) extremely expensive (Pimax 8K) and/or b) we simply don't have the power to render the TV-level 4K graphics in dual 4K viewpoints in a headset, yet.

Having said that, I continue to be tempted by the Meta Quest 2, especially because it's wireless, has a properly affordable cost, and I can just focus on playing novelty games that don't rely on graphical immersion (like Beat Saber). And yet, despite the positive things I hear about it, and the fact that RE4VR was VERY tempting, I just can't get passed the two above things. FOV is really a sticking point for me as is the continually subpar graphics because the hardware needed to run dual 4K viewpoints with "good" graphics is barely within grasp, and the closest I've seen that impressed me was Half-Life: Alyx on the Index (not mine, just tried it). And therein lies the other problem: the Index is $1000!!! *le sigh*

But yes, someday I'll be all in on VR, mostly for Flight Sim and sim racing, hehe

You've got a pretty powerful PC (mine is a piece of crap and I need a graphics card). You can download Steam VR and wirelessly play some insane experiences streaming on the headset. It may be far off into the future but I can't wait to see your impressions!
