@PuppetMaster Oh yeah I totally forgot about that! I bought a couple of them too for that reason.

You're right the e-sport division really dropped the ball. Maybe with the backlash, they will go back to that model.

Maybe they could do something similar to what DOTA didwith the invitationals. They have a battle pass or something with content tied to the tournament. When I used to play I would buy them for the cosmetics, even though I wasn't into eSports at all. I'm not sure if they do it anymore, since MOBA's aren't the big thing anymore.

@Dogbreath It used to be possible to build a pc better (geforce 9series and back) than a console for a decent price until around 2019. This was when the cypto miners drove the prices up. Before you could get the mid range card that was the performance per dollar for around 250-400. The flagship models were 600-800. If you looked at steam spec stats on their yearly survey, a huge amount of users were all using mid range. Only a small percentage were using the flagships. That stat is still the case, despite what gaming sites have you believe. They make you think every pc gamer has the xx90 series cards in them.
I just checked the steam hardware page. The most popular cards amongst users is the 3060, 4060 laptop, and the 1650.

Another show to watch if you liked this was Blood Drive. It was a grindhouse race show that ran for one season.

I bought one to use with my ps5 and pc. On top of the pc titles it works well with emulators for stereoscopic 3D. I've used it to play 3DS (Citra), Gamecube/Wii (Dolphin), and PS3 (RCPS3) games. While the 3DS,GC, and Wii work with all games. The PS3 is only for games that had 3DTV support. To get it running, you need to use Virtual Desktop and you are all set.

For you PC users, there is another added bonus. Some emulators support stereoscopic rendering. So far I've been able to play Gamecube (Dolphin), Wii (Dolphin), 3DS (Citra), and PS3 (RPC3) games in stereoscopic 3D. It is pretty awesome.

The only hitch is the PS3 only does it for games that had that built in for 3D tv's. Just do a search for "ps3 3d list", the first result is sony's, and the second is an updated list. Another tip is to change vBlank Frequency to 120 in the Advanced tab. With default settings (60)it will only render at 30fps, since it uses 30 per eye. Setting it to 120 raises it to 60fps per eye.

You also need to buy Virtual Desktop on steam. It works with PSVR2. Just click full or half SBS, and you are all set.

There are a handful of Steam games that have Stereoscopic modes. It is a similar caveat like the PS3. It has to be titles that had that option built in for the Nvidia 3D Vision.
Do a search for "steam games with stereoscopic 3d".

Finally there is UEVR. This injects VR into Unreal Engine 5 games. Results may vary, but just look up videos on youtube to see the best games. The ones I've tried so far are Pinball FX, Gotham Knights, Octopath Traveller, and Dragon Quest XI. They work pretty good, they just require some trial and error tweaking.

Enjoy!!

I think it was a great system, it has a pretty good library. Too bad they didn't port some PSVR titles. At least they came out with that PC adapter, it works great and that's where I use it the most.

@dskatter Agreed, people are forgetting that FES was the second release. Every article I see only mentioned FES, and not vanilla. I'm just glad it's coming as DLC and not a whole new release.

Once they add PC support, I'll be picking one up.

I wish there was a quickplay option like in D3. Yes we can PUG outdoor stuff, but i liked the dungeon runs and chest quests or w/e it was called. Come in, kill, say thanks and go to the next.

@GorosBat Ive had Steam since it came out. It's cool, but I'm getting close to 50 now. So I just enjoy playing games, instead of getting all mad about what platform it's on. It makes me laugh, since people were just as frothy when Steam came out, and we had to install it to play HL2.

@GorosBat Don't fret. Exclusive just means for the first 1-2 years. It will come to pc. Pretty much every time this happens, people like to goad the other camp. Hell people love to complain so much, that there is such vitriol over Epic vs. Steam.

@ATaco I prefer it with sprite based games.

@stinkyx Thanks for recommending that series, it was great!
