My son built me a gaming computer recently. I used to be a hardcore gamer in the 90s but haven't played for well over 20 years until very recently. I am having so much fun as an older guy getting back into gaming and I have an endless library of good games to play. Its a really great way to spend an hour or two.

Well for fathers day my son bought me a used headset to try out, we just hooked it up today and holy #$@* its amazing. I cannot believe it, it is so neat. I have never had so much fun gaming before and better yet many of the games are really good exercise. Boxing games, musical rhythm games, spots games and golf. There is a military shooter game call Pavlo and it made me feel like I was back in combat. It felt so exciting and I'm pretty good at it. My son was amazed at how quickly I excelled at Pavlo.

The only thing I'm not enjoying is the loud mouths on some of these players. Little kids saying all kinds of terrible language. If you have a computer that can run games buy yourself one of these headsets. You will be transported to another world. I can put this thing on and jump into so many different worlds right in my living room. So amazing. Have any of you experienced this?

I got it it, SW Battlefront and Fallen Order for $30 all together, the later two were actually quite good. Squadrons however did not detect my gamepad, the mouse controls were ass no matter how many times I stopped to tweak them, none of the menus or splash screens or cut scenes were VR friendly in the slightest. The cockpits were obstructive (although I guess they are lore correct) and there was no head tracking.

Mostly it was just the controls though, SWBF had better flight and it was an afterthought in that game. Squadrons was a failure as a flight title and as a VR title.

No head tracking? Works fine for me 🤷‍♂️

If you play something like Star Citizen or even Ever Space in VR you can aim by looking at stuff. Squadrons insisted I aim/fly with the mouse in the clunkiest way possible

With a mouse? I’m thoroughly confused. I use a throttle and joystick and can look around in VR just fine within squadrons.
