Are there really people playing VR stuff regularly? I only know 2 people in my circles that bought equipment for it, and both of them got sick of it after a couple weeks.
I don't know, what I've tried was fun for about 10 minutes, but that's about all I could take before the headache starts.
Your brain acclimates to being in VR the more you play so the headaches should disappear after a few sessions.
I'd say the issue these days is there aren't enough fresh VR titles coming out.
I have put over 9k hours of play time since i got my vive in 2018. usually play for about 2h at a stretch 7 times a week. VR has destroyed my ability to play flat games, I just can't put more than a half hour into them these days. Usually load a game, look at the main menu, may start the game then in a few mins, turn it off.
I play mil sim, zombie shooter, vr mods of flat games I have enjoyed in the past like raft and The Forest.
When I first started there was a time i couldn't play long but after a month 2h was no issue except for tiredness.
on a vr headset for everyday for the past 3 days. Each day around 4 to 5 hours
