I’m a 30 year old woman who’s only really played card and puzzle games on my phone. Im considering new hobbies. Is it worth trying to get into video games for the first time. Where would I even start.
It’s great that you like VR and want other people to try it. But when someone asks for a recommendation, you can’t just attempt to drag them into your own world like that, c’mon. VR is expensive, cumbersome, needs extra space in the house, has very few games (actual games) worth playing, etc. It’s an amazing immersive technology, yes. But a 30yo that never touched a game before? There’s very little in terms of gaming on any VR platform for them to experience, instead there’s a lot of VRing, which I think misses the point of this thread.
I’m just giving the OP a suggestion to look into to see if it’s something they might be interested in. You sound like a teenager fanboying for the console of their choice and shitting on anything else. Go back to reddit with that shit.
VR is expensive
It doesn’t have to be, which is why I’m saying start with a Quest. A Quest 3S is cheaper than other consoles out there. We also don’t know OP’s financial situation. This is not a child we’re talking about.
cumbersome
I’ll give you that in regards to a front-heavy Quest. Other headsets are much better in terms of comfort. But myself and others would spend hours a day in a Quest 2 when it came out and we survived.
Needs extra space
The vast majority of games can be played sitting down. And most standing games have you standing in place. I live in an RV and manage fine.
has very few games
That’s simply not true anymore. And we don’t know what kind of games OP would like.
Again, I’m not saying VR is the only solution for OP. I’m simply making a suggestion that nobody else had mentioned yet. Maybe it’s for them, maybe it’s not. That’s for OP to decide.
