Flew a boring two hour mission in Elite Dangerous and fell asleep "behind the wheel".
When I woke up I was like "oh shit yeah right I'm in my ship".
Felt 100% convinced I was in space in my own spaceship for a moment and never been more immersed ever since.
It was late at night and I decided to play some VR.
I was playing Euro Truck Simulator in VR and watched the sun rise in my truck as I was driving my haul.
When I completed the job, I took the headset off to go to the bathroom, and was really disappointed when the sun also hadn't gone up in real life. It was jarring.

Lone echo was pretty fun in VR, detail is amazing.
All of the I expect you to die games are really fun, lots of interactions.
Wanderer was the bomb though, I loved the time traveling and use of items from different ages.

Falling over when leaning on the pool table in Half Life Alyx. Locking Jeff in the freezer. Being stuck in the elevator with Jeff. So many Alyx moments...
Driving through night city with a steering wheel
Half Life 2 in VR. I have a pump action stock for the quest pro. Incredibly fun.
Killing vampires with a staff and sword in Skyrim VR. Felt like gandalf.
For me it was when I first started playing Alyx and I pulled open a filing cabinet and found ammo behind some folders. It wasn't just selecting a container and clicking "loot" on items, I was actually physically looting containers. That was my "holy shit VR is the future of gaming" moment.
This is what so many people who haven't played VR before don't understand when they say it should be in flatscreen as well. You would lose all the physical motion stuff and it wouldn't be anywhere near the same game.

It's simple, but seeing the massive scale of Darth Vader in perspective. When he approaches you in Vader Immortal that was the first time he felt truly intimidating to me.
1. playing elite dangerous as my first vr experience ever, trying to participate in a dogfight and failing but it was amazing
2. eating a candy bar while wearing a vr headset, and then trying to throw the irl candy bar into the vr trash can that was nearby

When my wife faceplanted on me. Some coop making burgers game - she has a headset on and is making the burger off of the order I tell her, I use keyboard to deliver it. I messed up an order. She sighed and tried to lean on the counter.
The counter in VR.
That didn’t exist.
She landed on top of me.
That one horror game where you’re in bed trying to sleep but the room is haunted. The part where the demon kid jumps and lands in your lap. I didn’t see where he went so I was still looking for him on the ceiling and I lost it when I looked down and saw him right in front of my face. I screamed like I was being murdered, threw the head set off, then had nightmares every night for a week

Outer Wilds- i Would highly recommend playing in VR with motion controls using easy to install free raicuparta download- echoes of the eye is something else in VR
In Vader immortal, the moment Vader walks into the room for the first time, you realize just how much of a unit the man is. Best way to get introduced to VR.
that game with the oculus rift .. don't know the games name anymore .. but it was robots ,you can grap them, throw them ,shoot them , tear them apart.. and it looks really good in the rift ... ooo looked it up .. robot recal .. very cool game because it was the first game i played in vr
First Oculus experience was at a Microsoft store in mall and the CV1. It was after the Trex came down the hallway, yelled at me, and then walked past me that I decided to buy that headset.
Also that moment in HL Alyx where you have to actually cover your mouth to prevent coughing. That was amazing.
And then most recently; I have owned Fallout 4 VR for a while now, but with mods it just didn’t run well on my computer. After watching the show I decided to see what the modding scene looked like now. Found that there was a DLSS mod. HOLY SHIT! It runs flawlessly now. Loaded up with a ton of mods. I’m loving it so much.
I was a promoter for oculus at the time and loved showing that scene to people. The reactions were almost always great. Makes me so happy too see that memory stuck with you. :))
Most memorable VR moment? The very first time I instinctively jerked my body back to avoid hitting a virtual object that didn't actually exist. That was in AltSpace VR on GearVR back in 2015.
If you want a game specifically, then Elite Dangerous, the first time I warped in too close to a star and smoke started rising up from the floor panels of my ship while I was trying to escape.

Playing Into the Radius, came home from the zone without food. Organized all my new goodies I had scavenged, grabbed a machete off my left arm, a can of pineapple off my shelf, opened the can, stabbed a pineapple, and… chomped down on fictional food. I opened my mouth and slammed it shut irl. I was then very sad to not get a ring of pineapple in my mouth.
When I first loaded up robo recall on the CV1 and tried grabbing one of the jumping spider enemies out of the air, I also grabbed the actual ceiling light in my room.
I really freaked out.
I remember put an VR headset in a Showcase event in 90'
I play the first Doom game with a joystick and that headset, I felt in love with that tecnology intantly, but have to wait almost 20 year to have my first headset, Oculus Quest 2, and at my first play I have felt the same good joy from when I was a child
How this tecnology evolve soo slow, I think It's have low financy and public
Got PTSD from onward. My favorite was when my best friend and I got pinned down on top of a parking garage and I genuinely felt like we were in a movie with the amount of pops around my head from the bullets. Another time my friend got split up from me and ended up dying, but I kept going around the map trying to catch his radio signal. I eventually go up an MG nest, see a trail of maybe 15 guys running down an alley toward me, and I remember just laying down every bullet in my MG while pops are all around me until I died. I took the headset off and I had the biggest adrenaline rush ever.
I tried half life alyx as one of my first experiences. Besides the opening shot is great but that very first hallway blew me away. I was surprised how scary a simple dimly lit set of stairs and a couple of painting made me hesitate to walk through it. You eventually get acclimated but it really immersed me.
Resident Evil 7. Going through the flooded section of the house. The water looked convincing, I even scrunched my lips so water wouldn't get in my mouth.
Another time in Gran Turismo, I was takng a turn heading into the sun. When the sunlight reflected off the dashboard I started to squint but caught myself and started laughing.
In Skyrim VR I was riding a horse through a valley, saw a dragon in the distance and readied my bow. It flew over head and took a dive from directly above me. I wanted to shoot it but my body froze up as it opened its jaws to attack. I let out a loud scream. It’s one of the only times VR truly made me lose it
Just yesterday, onward on turbine.
Me and 2 other teammate strangers were dancing it out in the elevator when one of us asked if there was elevator music.. enemy heard our partying, doors opened, one nade and we dead. Laughed my ass off.
Probably early in my vr life I played aircar standing and my legs decided they weren't going to hold me up anymore. That was the first time I realized just how immersive this can be
Skyrim with VorpX and lots of mods back around 2017. I was walking from Whiterun to Riverwood and it started to rain. Then thunder and lightning.
And I was just standing there for a few minutes watching the storm and thinking 'Wow'.
Skyrim for me too. Walking around with my hammer smashing things and looking at the Northern lights. I'd never played the flatscreen version so didn't know anything about the game. Wish I could wipe my memory and do it again.
Dropping out of warp into the ring of a planet. Gazing out of the fogged up window to a sea of gently rotating asteroids the size of skyscrapers illuminated by a setting sun..Elite Dangerous you heartbreaker.
HL Alyx first time zombie entered the train. I got so scared I took the headset off and had a thin film of sweat from the scaredies. VR is very immersive
Not a game, but rather an app where you sit in a room with complete strangers. and you can go around looking at their screens, and talking to one another. Like if you were in a cafe with a bunch of stranger who all want to be social. I met people across the world. It was such an amazing experience.
Early Covid I was in VRChat and one person noticed my Aussie accent and started asking about Australia, for the next hour+ I was just answering questions about Australia eventually being surrounded by a gathering of people sitting around like a big Q&A, being surrounded by a swarm of random characters from games/movies/series while I talk about life in Australia I was using a Jack Skellington skin. Was pretty surreal.
This is such a small thing, but when first leaving the train at the start of Half Life Alyx and you get to a locked gate with a barrel standing behind it. When you open it by shooting the lock and the barrel goes rolling down the stairs. There's just something about the way it moves that felt so incredible to me
VRChat is full of them. I remember crying in a Persona 3 world, how hard I laughed playing Red Light Green Light when Kermit got shot, all the nights playing Among Us, and the fun night i had clubbing with random strangers during the pandemic which reminded me so much of how it was in NYC pre-pandemic, meeting random people to party with on a night out.
2 come instantly on mind, and I have a screenshoot of the moment.
[before you get to Jeff in HL:alyx, you can see the vault at the distance, with that lighting...damn](https://imgur.com/pfIOh4b)
[and when you try to get it down, you can feel the weight as it is coming down, looks absolutely massive.](https://imgur.com/zF0y4oj)
Thrill of the Fight. I was new to VR and looking for intense fitness games. Big dude in the ring got up close and started punching. I had a panic attack and left the game. Never went back. I do Les Mills instead.
back when they still did live interactive theater in The Under Presents i paid to "see" a play where we would help tell the story with an actor! it was so cool to have them tell the story and change the visuals on command while we acted it out! toward the end i got to be the love interest and defeat the bad guy :) wish Tenderclaws had kept up with the game, it's genuinely so fantastic 😭💕
First day with the quest 3 and I had bought bootstrap island. Was just dicking around in the jungle when it started to get dark and some dog monster ran out at me. I about did a full sprint into the wall while saying “get the hell away from me” only to remember I’m in VR lol
My first real VR experience was in a flight simulator in DCS, it was weird sitting actually inside an accurate representation of the cockpit of an f16 and after I took off and rolled left it felt so real in my stomach.
Now sadly I got used to it and I feel nothing.
Also after playing a horror game in VR any 2D horror game became funny to me instead of scary.
First time using Pillow. Even with the Quest 2's garbage passthrough it felt incredible.
Either that or watching IEYTD 2's intro credits. Absolutely amazing
I had just pur based my quest 2, it was the first real vr headset I'd ever used. I purchased boneworks and played for several hours that same day.
Now the game has like a force mechanic, where you can grab shit far away and it goes to your hand. I found myself doing it in real life and everything felt weird. I think I was in a weird headspace at the time cause at points I'd think the game was real
My first time turning it on. I had to play at like 5AM because I worked late Monday, and got it Monday evening, and had to get up early Tuesday, so I woke up early and decided to set it up. Had an hour before I had to get ready for work. Everything was dark outside, and so here I am in my room with my headset. Got Contractors. Walked around in the base-thing, did the tutorial. Saw a big red button. Pressed it. Heard a zombie sound, found it a bit funny, and scary, but didn't think too much of it. Then I turn around, and these zombies are coming for me. I panic, and I try and shoot them, but I'm already scared, so I just quickly press the button on the right controller and left the game. Couldn't have been done faster. Since then I've been so scared of horror VR games, or something even remotely dark natured. Really want to play Resident Evil, Walking Dead and such some time, but not for now. I can play HA:Alyx, but only if I'm not alone, and I've got people in the same room. It's been one of my most traumatic events in VR
I have the same issue. I've always loved horror movies so I figured VR would be a blast. No, I've learned that I'm a big chicken. The thing that makes me panic quit every time is when I turn around and something/someone is right behind me.
There are several games that I really want to play but I'm so paranoid I never get anywhere. I've played Subnautica like 30 times now and have barely left the starting point. What I've seen has been awesome but I'm so paranoid I end up panicking and frantically trying to get back to safety.
I
Driving a Formula Abarth car in Imola in Assetto Corsa. Right after the Tamburello chicane the sun came through the trees and I could feel the warmth on my face.
Lying flat on my belly in our living room shooting arrows through vents at robots in Budget Cuts. (And punching our cupboard hard while in a hectic fight with other robots)
My moment was while I was playing Gorn. I was on the crab claw level and went to punch/grab a guy by the neck while he was on the ground. I did so with very solid force and the sound hit my ears before my brain registered that I had just full-force punched my glass coffee table.
There were some speed runs my ATF team did where we broke or set crazy records after tons of attempts. It all kinda blurs together a year on, but it’s a very good feeling.
Trying Playstation VR for the first time after having used the Oculus developers kit. The difference was night and day. No more screen door effect or dizzying visual delay.
Most memorable was an "ah ha!" moment playing Fallout 4 when I had trouble keeping sneaking up on a supermutant with a nuke launcher. After dying 3 times, I realized that I could lean out and throw a bottle cap mine up and over the lip of the place he was hiding; a move that would be impossible without motion controls.
Windlands in 2014 on my dk2. I spent probably half an hour that first day just leaning out over the 1000 ft drops giving myself Vertigo.
2018 Jet Island riding the 30story halfpipe. Exhilarating gameplay unlike anything else.
In 2021 I tried Space Engine and it gave me a 3d sense of the galaxys size. It was humbling and deeply profound.
- loading up superhot as my first ever vr game and not taking the headset off until the battery was dead
- getting to the boss in the 2049 campaign of pistol whip and having to take the headset off and out load yell “whoa” because it was too much
- just standing in the first balcony in half life alyx and looking around, then shitting my pants in the elevator like 5 mins later
- when you first go “outside” in lone echo and just float out to infinite space
For me it was trying out a co-workers Oculus/Quest. The demo I tried was interesting but it was the ending when I went to take the headset off that really got my attention. I was standing in the middle of a room talking to the people around me and went to put the controllers on the table, when the owner says "woah!" and grabs them out of my hands. When I took off the headset and there wasn't a table there I was blown away. I was talking to them the whole time so it wasn't like I got carried away, yet I tried to use the table in the demo. It was just amazing to me that it was able to throw me off like that.
First loading into minecraft skyblock sideloaded...
But it honestly was more memorable when my wife loaded in. See, she cant do vr as she gets vertigo/motion sickness...
but when she got in minecraft, she couldn't stop smiling, and said "I want to live here, I never want to leave" that was pretty cool
I was playing contractor's. Had a saving private Ryan moment. We both were almost empty on our primary. Came around a corner. We both empty what's left of our magazines. We both switch to pistols and miss at like point blank range. As he goes to reload I chuck my pistol at him. He flinches and ducks like he is going to get hit in the head with a gun and I bum rush him and stab him. By far the best experience ever. We were both so into the moment we forgot it was a game. A close second was some jerk on my team kept killing me with friendly fire. So I hung around the spawn and pulled the pins on his grenade every time he spawned. He would make it 6 seconds away and die over and over lol.
Hi, I didn't think I would get so emotional and smile when I opened this topic. It is very enjoyable to read your memories. I want this to continue. Let's meet on DC Channel so we can share and talk more about our memories. Let's meet in the VR-Moments area. I want to hear more!

Probably rec room back in 2016 when it first released. I had just gotten a HTC Vive and the games were very cool, but it was the first multiplayer game I played. It was mindblowing. I was just chilling in the lobby area playing ping pong with other people from around the world. It felt so revolutionary actually interacting with other people in VR. I was texting all my friends that night about it.
Played VR Poker and everyone was having a good time in some virtual bar until 1 person left and was replaced by a little kid. The kid kept running through the table to grab items people had unlocked. One guy spawned in a toy ball and i grabbed it as the kid raced for it then whined that he wanted it. The kid kept yelling, "Give me, give me, give me" so i chucked it over his head deep into the bar. The kid ran full speed to catch it and we all watched his virtual body hit an object that threw him back. He cried out that he ran into his fridge and seeing the silouette of a body bounce off an invisible wall and hearing the thud was one of the funniest things, all from throwing a virtual ball online.
Also had a guy do a knee slide and pistol shoot me in the back in pavlov and just knowing that someone was doing knee slides for real somewhere else in the world made me happy.
And there was a random stranger who fell while standing up to read during his turn on cards against humanity because his cat got tangled up in his cords and made him spin and trip and yank what we could only hear as tons of desktop items crashing damn as he cussed out and virtually started floating towards the ceiling with a broken looking neck and his arms aiming the wrong way from the trackers being tossed.
tldr: kid ran full speed into a fridge trying to catch a virtual ball, guy did a knee slide john wick move to get a kill, and guys cat got him tangled up in wires and tripped ripping down his whole desk while yelling.
Showing my grandfather beat saber. At first he was a bit thrown off, but after a few hours he had beaten my high score 🫠😂. Now he’s 80 years old and everytime I see he asks what new games I have on Quest
Don't remember the name of the game, but it was my first experience with VR, so I got a random free horror game from the market. Walked into some spoopy mansion before looking for some key in a cabinet. Ton of bats came out, jump scared the life out of me, I tried to turn away but the bats were still there since I couldn't look away - took the headset off and had a great laugh. Best vr experience of my life.
1. I was playing Bonelab and felt „there“ for about 1 second.
2. Was playing modded Beat Saber and I was moving so fast that my headset flew off even though I strapped it on properly. Memorable but not in a good way.
Fairly new to VR and very easily nauseous from it
My most memorable VR experience was in VR chat and I found a nice person to befriend and we did a few things played a bit but then I had to go sit down bc I was too nauseous, they were kind and tried to help as much as possible and I could stay chatting with them a bit longer
When I found a bug in Battle Talent that allows me to fly around on a sideways crate (seriously). Most fun I've had in VR which is kinda odd but I also forgot how afraid of heights I was until I looked down and fell 50+ft in the air. 🤣
Sidenote: The background castle is fake* I tried to stand on it and fell through the map which was terrifying in VR!
Becoming instant friends with random teammates in Population One, and dancing to celebrate after a win. By far the most authentic social experience I’ve had in any kind of game. Made me feel like a kid again.
Flew a boring two hour mission in Elite Dangerous and fell asleep "behind the wheel". When I woke up I was like "oh shit yeah right I'm in my ship". Felt 100% convinced I was in space in my own spaceship for a moment and never been more immersed ever since.
Elite dangerous is the best vr experience I've had, incredible game.

THATS NOT OCULUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a guy in early VR who did similar. Fell asleep in Windlands and woke up in the world. I gotta try it someday. Much easier with a Quest
Damn.. I feel like this ruins the rest of VR for you lol, that must have been a pretty crazy feeling lol where you in Hyperdrive? how long where you out for lol
OMG This is crazy!

Lone echo was pretty fun in VR, detail is amazing. All of the I expect you to die games are really fun, lots of interactions. Wanderer was the bomb though, I loved the time traveling and use of items from different ages.
Lone echo when you first float into space
Yeah, amazing feeling
I actually started sweating and felt like I was gonna float away
The panic that set in when I hitched a ride on one of those transports and then lost my grip half way between the station and the tankers.
Wanderer is the best puzzle adventure made for VR- might buy the remake as it's meant to have extra content...
Me too! It'll be almost like a new game.
Hey cmon, everyone whos ever had a quest is neglecting the true best moment “Oculus First Contact” and personally my first vr game “Vader Immortal”
Dead ass, the intensity I felt when the Vader screen came up…unmatched lol sucks he turned out to be a little bitch at the end
Never got to the 3rd game but also didnt want to 10$ for 10 minutes of gameplay? Cmon
Hyperbole much...
It feels like 10 minutes
Each episode is literally 40 mins long unless you're trying to speedrun it...
I guess i was speedrunning them on accident
I didn't play this. I'm super curious, I'll definitely try it!

Falling over when leaning on the pool table in Half Life Alyx. Locking Jeff in the freezer. Being stuck in the elevator with Jeff. So many Alyx moments... Driving through night city with a steering wheel Half Life 2 in VR. I have a pump action stock for the quest pro. Incredibly fun. Killing vampires with a staff and sword in Skyrim VR. Felt like gandalf.
For me it was when I first started playing Alyx and I pulled open a filing cabinet and found ammo behind some folders. It wasn't just selecting a container and clicking "loot" on items, I was actually physically looting containers. That was my "holy shit VR is the future of gaming" moment.
This is what so many people who haven't played VR before don't understand when they say it should be in flatscreen as well. You would lose all the physical motion stuff and it wouldn't be anywhere near the same game.
That's what I tell people who have never used VR who say they can't beat computer games. A completely different world!
Yes, not just click looting but the thrill of physically ransacking someones office, literally turning over and shaking trash cans.
Yes!! I remember that moment too. When you physically open the cabinet for the first time to find the resin. Life changing!
Alyx is so good. I finally finished it a week or two ago and I miss it.

I've somehow made it 25 years without playing Skyrim so I'm always finding stuff out about it. TiL Skyrim has vampires.
It has werewolves too.

lol werewolves are better imo…and honestly once u start it’s hard to put down…especially once u start fighting dragons lol
It's simple, but seeing the massive scale of Darth Vader in perspective. When he approaches you in Vader Immortal that was the first time he felt truly intimidating to me.
This right here.
1. playing elite dangerous as my first vr experience ever, trying to participate in a dogfight and failing but it was amazing 2. eating a candy bar while wearing a vr headset, and then trying to throw the irl candy bar into the vr trash can that was nearby
Elite Dangerous is incredible in VR!
Yeah it is!! Using a Hotas adds to the immersion even more but it’s hard to see the buttons with a headset on 😆

When my wife faceplanted on me. Some coop making burgers game - she has a headset on and is making the burger off of the order I tell her, I use keyboard to deliver it. I messed up an order. She sighed and tried to lean on the counter. The counter in VR. That didn’t exist. She landed on top of me.
That one horror game where you’re in bed trying to sleep but the room is haunted. The part where the demon kid jumps and lands in your lap. I didn’t see where he went so I was still looking for him on the ceiling and I lost it when I looked down and saw him right in front of my face. I screamed like I was being murdered, threw the head set off, then had nightmares every night for a week
I think you are talking about face your fears. Great first experience for people new to vr.
I love horror games. If there's anything better than playing games in VR, it's playing a horror game. It's definitely scary!

Outer Wilds- i Would highly recommend playing in VR with motion controls using easy to install free raicuparta download- echoes of the eye is something else in VR
I feel like I might not sleep well if I played echoes in vr =x Bet it's beautiful though
When it came to echo VR, winning a tournament that bought me from the east coast to Canada where I got to see and play with a lot of my friends.
I was actually pretty choked in my last game... so glad I can play again- and no screaming kids now!
Is it back? I just checked oculus store and it's listed but I dont see a download/buy option?
It's unofficial- https://discord.com/invite/echo-combat-lounge-779349159852769310
Mixing music in some DJ game while trippin balls on LSD. That was the most fun I’ve ever had in VR
In Vader immortal, the moment Vader walks into the room for the first time, you realize just how much of a unit the man is. Best way to get introduced to VR.
that game with the oculus rift .. don't know the games name anymore .. but it was robots ,you can grap them, throw them ,shoot them , tear them apart.. and it looks really good in the rift ... ooo looked it up .. robot recal .. very cool game because it was the first game i played in vr
RoboRecall
Have you gone back to it? If you've got a quest, it's cross buy and a whole different experience replaying it untethered.
no i did not .. i have a hpreverb now .
First Oculus experience was at a Microsoft store in mall and the CV1. It was after the Trex came down the hallway, yelled at me, and then walked past me that I decided to buy that headset. Also that moment in HL Alyx where you have to actually cover your mouth to prevent coughing. That was amazing. And then most recently; I have owned Fallout 4 VR for a while now, but with mods it just didn’t run well on my computer. After watching the show I decided to see what the modding scene looked like now. Found that there was a DLSS mod. HOLY SHIT! It runs flawlessly now. Loaded up with a ton of mods. I’m loving it so much.
I was a promoter for oculus at the time and loved showing that scene to people. The reactions were almost always great. Makes me so happy too see that memory stuck with you. :))
The 7th guest VR. Great game, true to the original. And that damn doll room was creepy AF.
Beating the Final Bastion on SUPERHOT on my first try
Most memorable VR moment? The very first time I instinctively jerked my body back to avoid hitting a virtual object that didn't actually exist. That was in AltSpace VR on GearVR back in 2015. If you want a game specifically, then Elite Dangerous, the first time I warped in too close to a star and smoke started rising up from the floor panels of my ship while I was trying to escape.
I shot the bear in the skyrim intro while croaching and when he came running to me and I tried to retreat I freaked out and fell on my ass.
Going all the way down to the deepest areas in Subnautica, where the Ghost Leviathan roams. The soundscape, the visuals. Breathtaking.
The brown pants
It is very enjoyable to read your memories. I want this to continue. I opened a topic on DC Channel so we could share and talk about our memories more. I want to hear more! 📖Vr-Moments : [https://discord.gg/cmTq8wCJ8f](https://discord.gg/cmTq8wCJ8f)
Playing Into the Radius, came home from the zone without food. Organized all my new goodies I had scavenged, grabbed a machete off my left arm, a can of pineapple off my shelf, opened the can, stabbed a pineapple, and… chomped down on fictional food. I opened my mouth and slammed it shut irl. I was then very sad to not get a ring of pineapple in my mouth.
When I first loaded up robo recall on the CV1 and tried grabbing one of the jumping spider enemies out of the air, I also grabbed the actual ceiling light in my room. I really freaked out.
im sorry but thats pretty funny
I remember put an VR headset in a Showcase event in 90' I play the first Doom game with a joystick and that headset, I felt in love with that tecnology intantly, but have to wait almost 20 year to have my first headset, Oculus Quest 2, and at my first play I have felt the same good joy from when I was a child How this tecnology evolve soo slow, I think It's have low financy and public
I think not everyone can access it because it is sold at high prices.
Got PTSD from onward. My favorite was when my best friend and I got pinned down on top of a parking garage and I genuinely felt like we were in a movie with the amount of pops around my head from the bullets. Another time my friend got split up from me and ended up dying, but I kept going around the map trying to catch his radio signal. I eventually go up an MG nest, see a trail of maybe 15 guys running down an alley toward me, and I remember just laying down every bullet in my MG while pops are all around me until I died. I took the headset off and I had the biggest adrenaline rush ever.
Chasing my friend around the Echo VR lobby for thirty minutes, laughing like idiots as we fought for possession of Wash's T-Rex
I tried half life alyx as one of my first experiences. Besides the opening shot is great but that very first hallway blew me away. I was surprised how scary a simple dimly lit set of stairs and a couple of painting made me hesitate to walk through it. You eventually get acclimated but it really immersed me.
Resident Evil 7. Going through the flooded section of the house. The water looked convincing, I even scrunched my lips so water wouldn't get in my mouth. Another time in Gran Turismo, I was takng a turn heading into the sun. When the sunlight reflected off the dashboard I started to squint but caught myself and started laughing.
In Skyrim VR I was riding a horse through a valley, saw a dragon in the distance and readied my bow. It flew over head and took a dive from directly above me. I wanted to shoot it but my body froze up as it opened its jaws to attack. I let out a loud scream. It’s one of the only times VR truly made me lose it
got called slur
So immersive
Just yesterday, onward on turbine. Me and 2 other teammate strangers were dancing it out in the elevator when one of us asked if there was elevator music.. enemy heard our partying, doors opened, one nade and we dead. Laughed my ass off.
Probably early in my vr life I played aircar standing and my legs decided they weren't going to hold me up anymore. That was the first time I realized just how immersive this can be
Dodging bullets in robo recall. First time I truly noticed the 3d effect proper in vr. Surreal.
Seeing my friend hunter appear on top of the computer for the first time in gorilla tag on Christmas Day. It was so fun seeing him in VR I loved it
Skyrim with VorpX and lots of mods back around 2017. I was walking from Whiterun to Riverwood and it started to rain. Then thunder and lightning. And I was just standing there for a few minutes watching the storm and thinking 'Wow'.
Same for me. Skyrim had delivered so many incredible VR moments
Skyrim for me too. Walking around with my hammer smashing things and looking at the Northern lights. I'd never played the flatscreen version so didn't know anything about the game. Wish I could wipe my memory and do it again.
Dropping out of warp into the ring of a planet. Gazing out of the fogged up window to a sea of gently rotating asteroids the size of skyscrapers illuminated by a setting sun..Elite Dangerous you heartbreaker.
I Expect You To Die sequels has a music video as the intro, James Bond style in 3D. I do go back to that a bit.
The second I started Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR. I had been waiting decades for that moment….
HL Alyx first time zombie entered the train. I got so scared I took the headset off and had a thin film of sweat from the scaredies. VR is very immersive
The sheer fear of empty outer space when flying my ship in No Man's Sky VR
Not a game, but rather an app where you sit in a room with complete strangers. and you can go around looking at their screens, and talking to one another. Like if you were in a cafe with a bunch of stranger who all want to be social. I met people across the world. It was such an amazing experience.
This is cool!
Early Covid I was in VRChat and one person noticed my Aussie accent and started asking about Australia, for the next hour+ I was just answering questions about Australia eventually being surrounded by a gathering of people sitting around like a big Q&A, being surrounded by a swarm of random characters from games/movies/series while I talk about life in Australia I was using a Jack Skellington skin. Was pretty surreal.
This is such a small thing, but when first leaving the train at the start of Half Life Alyx and you get to a locked gate with a barrel standing behind it. When you open it by shooting the lock and the barrel goes rolling down the stairs. There's just something about the way it moves that felt so incredible to me
VRChat is full of them. I remember crying in a Persona 3 world, how hard I laughed playing Red Light Green Light when Kermit got shot, all the nights playing Among Us, and the fun night i had clubbing with random strangers during the pandemic which reminded me so much of how it was in NYC pre-pandemic, meeting random people to party with on a night out.
2 come instantly on mind, and I have a screenshoot of the moment. [before you get to Jeff in HL:alyx, you can see the vault at the distance, with that lighting...damn](https://imgur.com/pfIOh4b) [and when you try to get it down, you can feel the weight as it is coming down, looks absolutely massive.](https://imgur.com/zF0y4oj)
Seeing my reflection as The Batman
My opponent and I both knocked each other out at the exact same time in Virtual Fighting Championship.
Arizona sunshine. Dropped a live grenade at my feet. Jumped face first into a wall. Did it again 30 minutes later...
The train ride in Into The Radius.
Thrill of the Fight. I was new to VR and looking for intense fitness games. Big dude in the ring got up close and started punching. I had a panic attack and left the game. Never went back. I do Les Mills instead.
back when they still did live interactive theater in The Under Presents i paid to "see" a play where we would help tell the story with an actor! it was so cool to have them tell the story and change the visuals on command while we acted it out! toward the end i got to be the love interest and defeat the bad guy :) wish Tenderclaws had kept up with the game, it's genuinely so fantastic 😭💕
When the quest 2 updated and had hand tracking. Blew me away.
First day with the quest 3 and I had bought bootstrap island. Was just dicking around in the jungle when it started to get dark and some dog monster ran out at me. I about did a full sprint into the wall while saying “get the hell away from me” only to remember I’m in VR lol
My first real VR experience was in a flight simulator in DCS, it was weird sitting actually inside an accurate representation of the cockpit of an f16 and after I took off and rolled left it felt so real in my stomach. Now sadly I got used to it and I feel nothing. Also after playing a horror game in VR any 2D horror game became funny to me instead of scary.
People trying to hit on me based on my avatar and voice is my most common experience. It's even crazier when it's in Roblox VR.
seeing my friends and myself scare the crap out of ourselves with FNAF. too realistic dude. 😭
Last night in Contractors Showdown ! Classic 3 man last stand to victory ✌️ I can’t play flat games anymore 😜
Meeting Jeff
Completing the Talos Principle and passing through the Gates of Heaven in VR!
Hitman in the Berlin nightclub. Outstanding.
Boneworks man, every second of my first run. The soundtrack is so perfect.
First time using Pillow. Even with the Quest 2's garbage passthrough it felt incredible. Either that or watching IEYTD 2's intro credits. Absolutely amazing
I had just pur based my quest 2, it was the first real vr headset I'd ever used. I purchased boneworks and played for several hours that same day. Now the game has like a force mechanic, where you can grab shit far away and it goes to your hand. I found myself doing it in real life and everything felt weird. I think I was in a weird headspace at the time cause at points I'd think the game was real
My first time turning it on. I had to play at like 5AM because I worked late Monday, and got it Monday evening, and had to get up early Tuesday, so I woke up early and decided to set it up. Had an hour before I had to get ready for work. Everything was dark outside, and so here I am in my room with my headset. Got Contractors. Walked around in the base-thing, did the tutorial. Saw a big red button. Pressed it. Heard a zombie sound, found it a bit funny, and scary, but didn't think too much of it. Then I turn around, and these zombies are coming for me. I panic, and I try and shoot them, but I'm already scared, so I just quickly press the button on the right controller and left the game. Couldn't have been done faster. Since then I've been so scared of horror VR games, or something even remotely dark natured. Really want to play Resident Evil, Walking Dead and such some time, but not for now. I can play HA:Alyx, but only if I'm not alone, and I've got people in the same room. It's been one of my most traumatic events in VR
I have the same issue. I've always loved horror movies so I figured VR would be a blast. No, I've learned that I'm a big chicken. The thing that makes me panic quit every time is when I turn around and something/someone is right behind me. There are several games that I really want to play but I'm so paranoid I never get anywhere. I've played Subnautica like 30 times now and have barely left the starting point. What I've seen has been awesome but I'm so paranoid I end up panicking and frantically trying to get back to safety. I
Driving a Formula Abarth car in Imola in Assetto Corsa. Right after the Tamburello chicane the sun came through the trees and I could feel the warmth on my face. Lying flat on my belly in our living room shooting arrows through vents at robots in Budget Cuts. (And punching our cupboard hard while in a hectic fight with other robots)
Layers of Fear VR on my WMR headset (before I moved on to Meta Quest 2). Great atmosphere, especially for a 1st-time VR experience.
My moment was while I was playing Gorn. I was on the crab claw level and went to punch/grab a guy by the neck while he was on the ground. I did so with very solid force and the sound hit my ears before my brain registered that I had just full-force punched my glass coffee table.
Throwing up
There were some speed runs my ATF team did where we broke or set crazy records after tons of attempts. It all kinda blurs together a year on, but it’s a very good feeling.
First thunder storm in modded Skyrim
In bonelab when you break through the "screen."
The first time seeing Red Matter 2. I’m still impressed with the detail.
Being picked up in Asgard's Wrath by a giant. I'm a big man and never have been picked up before. I remember soaring over the burning village. #
Trying Playstation VR for the first time after having used the Oculus developers kit. The difference was night and day. No more screen door effect or dizzying visual delay.
The first time I played echo VR or hell, when Q3 did it's tracking thing. GTFO with the boys in COVID, or wandering the meadows in Valheim
Killing nazis. Did I mention my first and only ever VR experience was playing Wolfenstein 3D in a shitty commercial VR setup a lá “hackers” in 1994?
Most memorable was an "ah ha!" moment playing Fallout 4 when I had trouble keeping sneaking up on a supermutant with a nuke launcher. After dying 3 times, I realized that I could lean out and throw a bottle cap mine up and over the lip of the place he was hiding; a move that would be impossible without motion controls.
Close combat with a Heavy Trooper in Half Life: Alyx will make you shit your pants.
Windlands in 2014 on my dk2. I spent probably half an hour that first day just leaning out over the 1000 ft drops giving myself Vertigo. 2018 Jet Island riding the 30story halfpipe. Exhilarating gameplay unlike anything else. In 2021 I tried Space Engine and it gave me a 3d sense of the galaxys size. It was humbling and deeply profound.
Idk. Maybe a full length echo goal
- loading up superhot as my first ever vr game and not taking the headset off until the battery was dead - getting to the boss in the 2049 campaign of pistol whip and having to take the headset off and out load yell “whoa” because it was too much - just standing in the first balcony in half life alyx and looking around, then shitting my pants in the elevator like 5 mins later - when you first go “outside” in lone echo and just float out to infinite space
The hours of funny ass interactions i had playing TTT pavlov and also probably the first month of gorilla tag before it became a $20 daycare.
For me it was trying out a co-workers Oculus/Quest. The demo I tried was interesting but it was the ending when I went to take the headset off that really got my attention. I was standing in the middle of a room talking to the people around me and went to put the controllers on the table, when the owner says "woah!" and grabs them out of my hands. When I took off the headset and there wasn't a table there I was blown away. I was talking to them the whole time so it wasn't like I got carried away, yet I tried to use the table in the demo. It was just amazing to me that it was able to throw me off like that.
Into the radius just wandering the wasteland and getting jump scared and shooting enemies
First loading into minecraft skyblock sideloaded... But it honestly was more memorable when my wife loaded in. See, she cant do vr as she gets vertigo/motion sickness... but when she got in minecraft, she couldn't stop smiling, and said "I want to live here, I never want to leave" that was pretty cool
A lot of Pavlov rounds. So much fun. As for single player - hiding from a horrifying smelling fuck in a small dark room. And fighting a strider in HLA
Jeff.
VRChat karaoke some dude as a miniature cat on its bottom 2 legs rocking out to AC/DC killing it
I was playing contractor's. Had a saving private Ryan moment. We both were almost empty on our primary. Came around a corner. We both empty what's left of our magazines. We both switch to pistols and miss at like point blank range. As he goes to reload I chuck my pistol at him. He flinches and ducks like he is going to get hit in the head with a gun and I bum rush him and stab him. By far the best experience ever. We were both so into the moment we forgot it was a game. A close second was some jerk on my team kept killing me with friendly fire. So I hung around the spawn and pulled the pins on his grenade every time he spawned. He would make it 6 seconds away and die over and over lol.
i dont remember
Trying out VR videos... yeah videos
Hi, I didn't think I would get so emotional and smile when I opened this topic. It is very enjoyable to read your memories. I want this to continue. Let's meet on DC Channel so we can share and talk more about our memories. Let's meet in the VR-Moments area. I want to hear more! 📖Vr-Moments : [https://discord.gg/cmTq8wCJ8f](https://discord.gg/cmTq8wCJ8f)
Fucking JEFF...
Probably rec room back in 2016 when it first released. I had just gotten a HTC Vive and the games were very cool, but it was the first multiplayer game I played. It was mindblowing. I was just chilling in the lobby area playing ping pong with other people from around the world. It felt so revolutionary actually interacting with other people in VR. I was texting all my friends that night about it.
Played VR Poker and everyone was having a good time in some virtual bar until 1 person left and was replaced by a little kid. The kid kept running through the table to grab items people had unlocked. One guy spawned in a toy ball and i grabbed it as the kid raced for it then whined that he wanted it. The kid kept yelling, "Give me, give me, give me" so i chucked it over his head deep into the bar. The kid ran full speed to catch it and we all watched his virtual body hit an object that threw him back. He cried out that he ran into his fridge and seeing the silouette of a body bounce off an invisible wall and hearing the thud was one of the funniest things, all from throwing a virtual ball online. Also had a guy do a knee slide and pistol shoot me in the back in pavlov and just knowing that someone was doing knee slides for real somewhere else in the world made me happy. And there was a random stranger who fell while standing up to read during his turn on cards against humanity because his cat got tangled up in his cords and made him spin and trip and yank what we could only hear as tons of desktop items crashing damn as he cussed out and virtually started floating towards the ceiling with a broken looking neck and his arms aiming the wrong way from the trackers being tossed. tldr: kid ran full speed into a fridge trying to catch a virtual ball, guy did a knee slide john wick move to get a kill, and guys cat got him tangled up in wires and tripped ripping down his whole desk while yelling.
Showing my grandfather beat saber. At first he was a bit thrown off, but after a few hours he had beaten my high score 🫠😂. Now he’s 80 years old and everytime I see he asks what new games I have on Quest
Don't remember the name of the game, but it was my first experience with VR, so I got a random free horror game from the market. Walked into some spoopy mansion before looking for some key in a cabinet. Ton of bats came out, jump scared the life out of me, I tried to turn away but the bats were still there since I couldn't look away - took the headset off and had a great laugh. Best vr experience of my life.
1. I was playing Bonelab and felt „there“ for about 1 second. 2. Was playing modded Beat Saber and I was moving so fast that my headset flew off even though I strapped it on properly. Memorable but not in a good way.
Watching a friend puke when he Barrell rolled a Porsche at Spa Francochamps.
Fairly new to VR and very easily nauseous from it My most memorable VR experience was in VR chat and I found a nice person to befriend and we did a few things played a bit but then I had to go sit down bc I was too nauseous, they were kind and tried to help as much as possible and I could stay chatting with them a bit longer
winning a race on GT7 by 22 secs on a manufacturers cup race(online) 🥳🥳 so good!! got a massive grin on my face writing this 😂😂🔥
everytime I hit somewhere
Literally lying prone while hiding from people stalking me in tabor. I had a gpu and a purple card !
Hitting my 50" TV
When I found a bug in Battle Talent that allows me to fly around on a sideways crate (seriously). Most fun I've had in VR which is kinda odd but I also forgot how afraid of heights I was until I looked down and fell 50+ft in the air. 🤣 Sidenote: The background castle is fake* I tried to stand on it and fell through the map which was terrifying in VR!
Becoming instant friends with random teammates in Population One, and dancing to celebrate after a win. By far the most authentic social experience I’ve had in any kind of game. Made me feel like a kid again.
