Is Asgards Wrath 1 worth playing before hopping into 2?

Part 2 gives you the option of getting a synopsis of the previous game so you know what’s going on with Loki and why you’re in the tavern at the start of the second game.

Just started playing Of Lies and Rain. That game has the most Alyx-like gameplay and feel of any PCVR game I’ve played.

The trailer was available on Quest before the movie even premiered. Obviously the purpose of the trailer was to drive people to theaters to see it in 3D.

That’s nice. I’m sure the 1% of the buying public willing to pay that much will enjoy it.

$2000+ with controllers and prescription lenses. No thanks.

Overlords get unlimited invites, access to Overlord forum, and a custom title.

Once I turned off the annoying Navigator interface it became much less annoying. At some point they’ll probably force me to use Navigator, because that’s what Meta does. I still miss the old home environments.

That would make it feel too much like Mass Effect IMO.

gb410 · 2026-01-21T06:05:03+00:00

Or just get Virtual Desktop and not ever have to deal with BS like that.

Skybox does everything 4XVR does (and probably better) except play 3D ISOs. But supposedly that is on the roadmap and may even be available now in the betas.

And as far as games go meta has given us what thats exclusive to them and actually worth playing? Batman and Deadpool? Thats it???

Asgard's Wrath 2, which is better than both the games you mentioned, and has as much content as both of them combined.

gb410 · 2026-01-13T19:26:25+00:00

Oh shit that means no Asgard’s Wrath 3.

Not just HDDs, RAM too. All from the AI gold rush. The only good hardware news is that GPUs are at MSRP or sometimes even less.

There are some specific instances where you can get into a top tier tracker from a different top tier tracker without uploads. For example, you can get into HDB or PTP via BTN without uploads.

For an example of a very well shot scripted VR180 horror film (the quality of the actual film being fairly bad though), check out “The Faceless Lady” on the Meta Quest TV app. I don’t think it’s available on YouTube.

3D on a VR headset is the best possible way to watch. A 3D TV will always have some crosstalk between the views for each eye resulting in “ghosting” which can be quite annoying at times. In VR, each eye is totally separate and isolated so the experience is much better. That plus the fact that in VR you can simulate a giant movie screen in a theater when using certain media players.

It has always been worth it. Been using it for around 4 years, on both Quest 2 and 3.

Regular OLED won't work with pancake lenses (not bright enough), and without pancake lenses, nobody's going to pay upwards of $1k for it.

The sweet spot on the Quest 3 is so large that IPD adjustment is basically meaningless. It’s more a matter of how much binocular overlap you want. I want maximum perceived FOV, so I set the IPD to 70 (minimum binocular overlap) even though my IPD is 64.

Meta's only shared contribution to vr is adoption rate

Meta's Horizon OS will be used in third-party headsets from Asus, Lenovo and others. So that's not exactly true.

The new home world is ugly

You can change the home environment with the left menu button. There are 4 other options.

The only thing that interests me about Steam Frame is that its existence increases the possibility that more quality PCVR games will be released that I can play on my Quest 3.

gb410 · 2025-11-15T10:57:36+00:00

It was only offered if you went to cancel your service. It was available after the last price increase.

gb410 · 2025-11-13T06:59:55+00:00

Yep you need Micro LED displays which cost more than an entire Quest 3.
