Does it feel like, when you set your mind to playing something on PSVR2, it’s a 50/50 chance that it’s going to be an annoying experience, not worth the time invested into it? Don’t get me wrong, I have had a lot of fun with the PSVR2, but it almost feels like half of the time I have invested into it, has been attempting to optimize the experience or to make it even playable.
I have put money into optimizing lighting for infrared lights, I have built my theater room around optimization, I have put money into comfort of the headset, protection, I have put effort into removing all reflective surfaces, installed Bluetooth for better audio, but I keep coming back to how much of a gamble actually playing it is. I probably have somewhere around 15 VR games, but I have not come close to even completing one of them. Part of this is probably due to my OCD and I can’t stand when I am standing in place and the screen or my reticles seem to move on their own. I have followed lighting optimization guides, I have used AI to help me build a grid model of where my lights should be. Despite all of my efforts, I continue to have to tinker with it and test it and find the best spot for standing.
In 2026, having a wired headset seems baffling, but it’s a little consequence due to the power behind the PS5 Pro so I can get over that, but the situation with a varied gaming experience is what really gets under my skin, especially that I know I could not simply play on a lunch break for instance, because like now, the entire experience would be devoted to optimization.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
