    I posted the article mostly for discussion, I personally have had a great time play AC: Nexus VR lately. But it does feel like the market is in a bit of a weird place right now as Meta/Apple are both pushing AR and non-gaming use cases, when the only thing these headsets have really been shown to be superior at is playing games.

      apple and meta are not the benchmark. If anything, we should probably look more at valve with their Deckard, and other specialized companies like Meganex and BSB.

      I bitterly regret getting Q3 that turned out to be a downgrade from old Vive Pro, but sadly missed the return date. I just gave it to kids to play because I refuse to touch that crap with horrible black levels and lens glare.

        I personally feel like the Quest 3 is the most comfortable headset I’ve ever owned (previously owned the CV1 and the Quest 1) and that for me trumps all of its issues with the lens/display setup.

        I am desperate for Valve to succeed and really shake up the market but I think they’ll continue to make headsets that cost over $1K and just aren’t palatable to a wider audience. Hopefully Deckard is at the very least good enough to justify that price. I certainly have more faith in them after loving the Steam Deck.

          Geez man, sorry to hear that. I found Q3 with original strap to be unbearably uncomfortable. Had Rift S, Index and Vive Pro (still have it, and all of them are heavenly bliss compared to that torture machine that q3 is

            Needed to ditch the original strap and put the Bobo M3 strap on it, but once that was done it was the first time I was able to use VR with no weight on my cheekbones. Wildly changed how I felt about it as it was suddenly so comfortable I could use it for hours without discomfort.
