How I really feel
For starters- this was an impulse buy. I had the extra money at the time and I was heavily influenced to play Beat Saber. Why spend $300 + the price of the game to only play that game? I figured I’d fall in love with it so I’d be fine. I quickly found out the games can be a little steep. Maybe not for the every day gamer. But girl I am not and never will be a “gamer”. I just do not have that kinda skill.
For the first few days I was loving it. I got Horizon and met some other cool people. Horizon is a game where you can roam around as an aviator and just play around with stuff, and talk to over people.
I have had my oculus for about 2.5 years. To be honest I barely touch it. It feels like every time I pick it up I have to wait on updates. The games are pricey and I’m rarely willing to make a purchase out of the fear of not liking the game. It’s also heavy on my face and I can’t wear it for long.
I have no regrets purchasing my Oculus. It’s a cool thing to have. When guests come over, it’s fun to watch them try it out. My daughter also has a great time on it. But if I’m honest, I could have lived without it.
⭐️Overall rating: 3.5/5
When considering an Oculus device, it’s essential to weigh not only the initial excitement but also the ongoing experience. Many users, like me, find that while the technology is impressive and engaging at first, it can become a neglected item due to various factors. The investment for games can add up quickly, and as someone who doesn't identify as a hardcore gamer, I often hesitate to buy new titles, fearing they won't meet my expectations. Furthermore, the cumbersome nature of wearing the headset for extended periods can deter usage, especially for those with sensitive faces. Social gaming aspects cannot be overlooked; meeting people and sharing moments in games like Horizon enriches the experience. Yet, the appeal can fade if the platform remains underutilized. Balancing the enjoyment with practical concerns, such as physical comfort and game affordability, is crucial. Ultimately, my rating of 3.5/5 reflects a blend of fascination and realism about virtual reality gaming, serving as a reminder for potential buyers to consider their true interest levels before diving in.
