Original thread.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

I hear its amazing. My reasoning for putting it off is that everything I've heard has said that the biggest problem with Alyx is that its a double edged sword because it is the greatest experience anyone has made thus far in VR and nothing else anyone has made out there has come even remotely close. I kinda wanna savor it a bit. Right now everything is still new and fun and I'm worried if I jump into Alyx it'll just leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

Your plan is good regarding waiting a bit for Alex.

VR games/experiences I'd recommend trying:

Moss
Moss 2
Elite Dangerous
Hyperbolica
VRChat can be fun still sometimes
Beatsaber is in my trio with HL:A and super hot for platform defining. I'd recommend going modded for it as soon as possible to play custom tracks
3DS games with stereoscopic 3d cranked all the way up in Citra. You'll play these within Big screen VR app with SBS enabled on the Citra window in game (I'm glad to help explain this more if you're interested)
PS3 games via RPCS3 with stereoscopic 3d render mode turned on (same setup as above)
GC/Wii/N64(VC) games via Dolphin with stereoscopic 3d render mode turned on (same setup as above)
Full-SBS 3D movies via SkyboxVR (or Big screen if you can get it to work- I couldn't in the past)

What does this mean:

PS3 games via RPCS3 with stereoscopic 3d render mode turned on (same setup as above)

Just 3D gaming? I looked it up and all I saw was someone playing a game in a virtual theatre or something

couldn't tell what was going on

Have you ever seen a 3D movie before? It's that experience but you're controlling the characters on screen. It's also the best form of it because everything in the scene has depth.

If you've played a 3ds with the 3d mode turned on it's the same thing except the the effect is way better in VR because of the screen resolution/differences in the 3d projection technology.
