PlayStation VR2 |OT| I heard it has a single cable. Is this true?

But you could see the steam link that linked to the driver for Windows? You probably block twitter via your adblocker or something.
I couldn't see anything, but I disabled adblocker and could see it. Nice that he managed without the need for an adapter.
Adblocker back on, even GAF is loaded with adverts without it!

Fuck Yeah, game changer for me!

People say this, but doesn't it require a certain (older) ATI card with display port whatever to work at all? 75% of the population with nVidia GPUs and the other 24% without those particular AMD GPUs - it really doesn't benefit them does it?

My fairly new AMD 6900XT has a USB-C style displayport output at least, so shouldn't be rare on newer cards either. It should be possible to find DP -> USB-C conversion cables too.

Ah, well, did not know this tidbit. But if mitchman mitchman is right, then an adapter will be purchased in no time :D

I just received my PSVR2!
The only game I have is Garden of the Sea, I'm not sure it is the best game for a VR beginner. Should I buy Puzzling Places to start building my VR legs?
Puzzling Places is awesome, but it won't help you get your VR legs. It's played stationary and only looking around. You should still buy it though.

I adore Puzzling Places, but I echo R6Rider R6Rider opinion. Demeo is a very welcoming game to new VR players. Moss and Red Matter 2 are also a good start, imo.

Puzzling Places has a demo with a fair bit of content. I'd go through that before buying, but it is enjoyable/relaxing.

I used RE:Village for getting my VR legs lol. You can adjust the comfort settings from everything to nothing and play a little each day in safe areas just moving around to get comfortable.

If you enjoy Sci-Fi, Red Matter 1 and 2 are fucking amazing.

For Beginners

Beat Saber
Red Matter 1/2
Humanity

When you get used to it

Pavlov - is like Counter Strike in VR, the TTT mode in Pavlov (which is the best thing ever) is Among Us with guns.

Synapse
GT7
NMS
RE4/RE8
Walking Dead 1/2
Kayak VR (if you're into that)

All of these games are well worth the price of admission.

For me aside from BG3, these are some of the best games of 2023 in general that were massively overlooked by gamers because they are VR games.

Enjoy!

I would not start with Red Matter 2. Although it is one of the best VR games ever, people seem to not handle it that well in my experience.
Really? Some friends that never had any VR experience played the game and they all had a blast and no problem at all while playing. They only played the initial part though, so basically no action and slow movements only.

However, both had problems with other games. One got dizzy after playing Village and other after trying No Man's Sky 😅 (terrible choice as it is a demanding game, but he loves it).

I usually found that it was a constant change of pace that made me feel a bit queasy. Games that switched from quiet to chaos, such as Saints and Sinners affected me initially. NMS has been fine because, other than the infrequent space combat, it’s quite a chilled game, that you can play at your own pace.

Saying that, there have been outliers - most recently The 7th Guest. For some strange reason it makes me a bit queasy after around 20 minutes. Kayak VR does the same, but usually when I have a mad paddle moment.

GT7 doesn’t bother me at all (though it did initially), Moss 1 & 2 are great, and Beat Saber/Synth Riders are safe. Games like Zombieland are also decent for finding your legs - and pretty fun to boot!

After i got quest 3 and start playing alyx and the mods my psvr2 haven’t been out of the box. Planning to sell it asap :(
Yeah I'm looking at all those PC game mods and just sulking, man I'd love to play cyberpunk maxed out in VR, or run around Hogwarts Castle or play a heavily modded Skyrim again for the umpteenth time... So many choices on PC :-(

Kayak was one of the first titles I played and man... I had trouble with it lmao. Got dizzy really quick 😂

Tried the Puzzling Places demo and loved it, I'll get it when I'm done with Garden of the Sea.
The headset starts feeling a bit heavy after 1h of playing, what accessories are recommended to improve the VR experience? (comfort, etc)

I would recommend No Man's Sky and Kayak can be very good for beginners - it can be very relaxing and you not being pushed. But you have to try GT7 and RE4.

PSVR2 Ultimate Comfort Kit from Studioformcreative or Globular Cluster CMP2 Comfortable Mod

I'm using globular cluster. It is a improvement, but always thought stock PSVR2 is fine. Do I regret buying the globular? Not at all. If you dont feel comfie enough the way it is, I think Globular will help you a lot (but it will increase PSVR2's weight quite a bit).

I ordered this one today, because I'm in EU. Doesn't add weight to the back, but should ease the pressure on the forehead.
