Got this in a previous deal and discovered the reason these are dirt cheap is because you don't play them when you have something like pistol whip, in short, a third rate game versus a highly replayable first rate game. So I have quit buying these bargain bin dust collectors.

My bad, virtual dust collectors.

That is a very fair critique.
However, there are occasionally gems - Galaxy Kart for $2 is a steal (not sure if the deal is still on tho). Even at full price, Galaxy Kart is a fair for how fun it is. But that is very rare, so I'm far more cautious about these than I am excited, in general.

Glad you mentioned Galaxy Kart. I've been trying to keep an eye on the Reddit VR deals list, but somehow overlooked that one. Was able to grab it for the mentioned $2.

Looks like a 1990's PC game. VR's reputation is really dragged down by this kind of title.

Yeah...I bought the first one for $1 a few months ago. I probably shouldn't have since I haven't even touched it.

I have read this game is actually really really good. Everyone calling it shovelware and junk may want to give it a try first.

But, comments like these have kept me from buying a VR headset. I was really excited to get one, but then searched the store for games and only found a few that I would be interested in. Seems like the games are similar to low budget Wii games. So, shovelware is probably accurate for many of them.
And the fact that I can't use half of my digital movie apps on it. I have about 50 movies on Fandango/Vudu and apparently this headset doesn't have an app for it.
I have zero desire to "rent and stream" games through any GamePass style service either. I have great internet 1GB/1GB fibre, and Game pass still labs too much to play anything that requires precise timing.

I'm still baffled as to why some bigger developers haven't tried releasing some bigger titles on it. Some would be a great fit. I think an updated Xwing vs Tie Fighter would sell like crazy. Battlefront (classic ones). Battlefield (classic ones). Even throw an older version or the mobile version of COD on it.
Madden, NBA 2k, UFC...these would all be great. Only ones I've seen are Resident Evil.

You have a lot to learn, many high quality Meta apps/games out there. Along with Steam PCVR and VR mods, and apps like Bigscreen to stream movies, or play some 3D movie files direct from the headset. It's also a different ecosystem, with some original IP titles, just need to learn how it works and try out the system.

I think your argument works against itself -- most of the people calling it junk, shovelware, dust-collector, etc.. are saying so because there are so many better games on the service. I bought this game on the Quest 3 months ago (same price) and haven't touched it.. because there are so many better games that I'd choose to play instead. It's similar to Netflix -- there are some movies on Netflix that I'm sure are decent.. but am I going to choose that or choose something that is a better movie?

Nobody is buying the quest, hopefully, to stream their 50 movies on Fandango/Vudu, that's not the point of it. It's like not buying the Switch because it doesn't have a Vudu app. If anything, you'd want to watch 3D movies on it since it's a 3D-Device.

As for adding Madden, NBA 2k and UFC? Lets also add Cyberpunk, Stellarblade and Silent Hill to the mix! Unfortunately, it's not as easy as "Throwing an older version on it", part of what makes the games on Quest (and VR) so good are that they're developed for VR, it's completely different from porting a PS5 game to Xbox, but that's what makes them so unique and worthwhile, and hard to pick something like System Critical over one of those much better titles if you have a collection. I don't use Gamepass or streaming at all, so to use that and Vudu as the reasons not to get into VR is just silly

Honestly this whole thing started back last spring when one of the devs from that plank game gave an 80 or 90% off code for their game Max Mustard (killer deal for the game). And it was essentially an experiment in seeing about it getting their game to the most downloaded list. A lot of games starting copying this. Got a lot of solid games from this tactic; Max Mustard, Ghost Busters, Sushi Ben, Death Horizon, Zombieland, all for just a few bucks a piece. Yes there are some crappy ones that have also done this but over all I think it's a good mix of good and bad
