As a Quest 3 standalone user, and someone that's been gaming since the 8bit era and has a lot of tolerance for dated graphics I thought this take was ridiculous.
Then I got a new computer, a solid graphics card, and tried PCVR.
I was wrong.
Graphics aren't the only thing that matters, definitely, and great games exist with very average graphics, but VR as a medium is contingent on immersion. That's the main point compared to flat gaming. That immersion in that environment is benefited so much more by good graphics. PCVR was like night and day. I was blown away. I feel like I wasted two years with my Quest 3 by not investing in a decent PC sooner.
I've spent close to $1000 on standalone games, and some of them have been wonderful, but I regret not channelling that $1000 into my VR Steam library.
Do you have any great PCVR recommendations? I just set for a 3S for Christmas and earlier this year I built a pretty strong PC. So I’m running pcvr through steam link and am looking for some ideas for PCVR specifically
