I tried out my new Rift S in IL-2 and as far as I can tell it's entirely inferior to TrackIR. It's blurry enough that you can't see targets past around 2km, and tracking targets during vertical maneuvers involved tilting your head back as far as possible which is extremely uncomfortable after a few minutes, especially with the heavy headset on. The positives are that the 1:1 tracking does make it easier to keep track of enemies unless they are past where it is easy to turn towards them, and the head tracking is much more reliable than TrackIR. It still just doesn't seem as good as TrackIR, though, especially for multiplayer.

Superhot VR was kino, but extremely short. VR porn lost its novelty after the first time, and Pavlov didn't grip me at all despite not getting even slightly nauseous. I fucked around in the gun range for awhile which was cool, then the multiplayer gameplay itself just felt janky as hell. I feel like VR does not translate well to fast paced twitch shooters like CS, but maybe I just suck. I want to like VR but I'm just not feeling it. That "wow factor" you get when you first use it only lasted a few hours for me. On the bright side, I have never once felt even a twinge of nausea even when running around in pavlov or doing maneuvers in IL-2. Thank you for reading my blogpost, please upvote and subscribe.
