Surprised we don't have anything going on this topic. See if it goes anywhere, but I came here to ask for support on the Oculus/Quest.
Family got me a Quest 2 for my bday. I've been holding out for the next release and/or PSVR2, but eh, I'll take it!
Suggestions for best games to play on it?
I picked up a few accessories too:
- Strap with Battery and Carrying Case - https://www.amazon.c...
- Fat Sweaty Man Visor - https://www.amazon.c...
Any others I should be looking at?
Thanks!

I just sold a butt-load of pricey games to a local guy and now have enough for an Oculus/Meta Quest 2 and some accessories. I think I'm finally ready to take the plunge. Here is what I'm considering buying so far: - 256 GB system - Elite Strap with battery - case - lens protector Am I missing something? Also, is there a case that any of you would recommend?
The BOBOVR strap and battery is better than the elite, and cheaper

If you like Rick and Morty style humor you want to play Accounting+, Trover Saves the Universe, and Rick and Morty VR
Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator are excellent stationary type games (same devs also made RIck and Morty VR)
Moss 1 and 2 are excellent little games.
Statik is a neat puzzle game that flew way under the radar.
Beat Saber is an excellent music and exercise game but you will get sweaty.
Half Life Alyx is a showcase of high end VR.
I also really enjoyed the Psychonauts Rhombus of Ruin one

Agree that 128GB is plenty of space. And be sure to use a referral code when activating the device. If you use that referal link you'll get a $30 credit for use in the store, and the referrer will also get $30 credit! I had a referral but got mine all setup before realizing it's not a code you can enter at some point. You can't apply this afterwards so I lost out on the $30. You have to go through the referral link before activating a device but absolutely do that. Everyone can generate their referral link for you, but of course I'm happy to.
Go ahead and shoot me a referral link. Does it matter where you purchase a unit from?

Sounds like it might be a good choice. What case do you have for this thing? If I end up getting this, I need to be sure that I get a case that will accommodate its size.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've actually played Trover on my PS4. I had a lot of fun with that one. I'd definitely have a look at the other games that you've mentioned.

Just posting so I am subscribed. Looks like the 256GB Oculus isn't really needed! Can I delete and redownload no issues?

It looks like I might have to hold off, at least until the end of the month. It sounds like the union contract negotiations with my employer aren't going very well at the moment. I have to hold on to this money for a little while longer, just in case there happens to be a strike. It will probably not happen, but I have to play it safe for now.

Okay, this is pretty fun. Just played a couple rounds of Beat Saber. Not thrilled I have to move my body by crouching and leaning but still a lot of fun.
Any advice on how to keep the headset up? It keeps sliding down. The side head strap is already as tight as it gets.
Also, any suggestions on controller grips? My hands get kinda clammy.

For the headstrap try to put a majority of the pressure on the top strap. Make that one tighter. The sides are more for stability from what I was told. The top is more for supporting the weight. But I've got a big head. You may just want to look for a 3rd party option.
I'm a big fan of Synth Riders over Beat Saber. There is occasional dodging but you can also disable obstacles as a setting if you prefer. I also like how SR has smooth movements over the chopping motions. If you haven't tried it you should try the demo.

Do you guys use the stock face pad that comes with the Quest 2 or have you upgraded? If you replaced the original, what do you end up getting?

These are nice

But later changed to this, which I didn't realize came with a face pad

That's the one that I've been considering. From what I've seen and read about it, it sounds like something I would go for.
One more question: what about wearing glasses with this thing? From what I've read, the Quest 2 comes with a spacer for those who wear glasses. Do you think this BOBOVR F2 is compatible with it?
Update: I came across a Reddit post where someone said that they "can confirm the F2 works with the stock glasses spacer," so that answers my question, but I may end up getting these - https://www.amazon.c...
I might do that upgrade to protect the lenses from my son's glasses. I'm so paranoid about damaging those things.

@citizen_zane I wear glasses too but I don't use them with the Oculus. I'll try out the glasses extension with the F2 as I'm gonna go test out that backpack case today too.

I just played/beat (1 hr long) Secret of Retropolis, would recommend if it’s on sale or something, especially if you like games like Grim Fandango, pretty well done considering the size of the team, has a lot of charm

Elite headset came and wow it makes a huge difference. I'll need to do some fine tuning but the fit is so much better.
Also, tomorrow is Steam's VR sale! Here's hoping for Alyx! But do I really need a special cord to play Steam games?

@Porksta yeah, lots of options. OEM is like $75 or something dumb. Plenty of third party brands (some have usb A if needed) for $20 or less (Amazon quest link cable).

There’s also Airlink, so you don’t need a cord technically, you just may want to use one depending on performance (afaik)
