It's VRChat. You put your headset on and you chat. Pretty self explanatory. There are games you can play inside of VRChat- if that's your fancy. Depending on where you look and the people you play with- it can be a great time.
Lets step away for a moment and talk about some flaws before I highlight the good aspects and even better- what you can do, as the player, to make your time even better. Because that's what VRC is. You make your own fun. At least- mostly. Again- the platform has its faults outside of player control.
To highlight the main flaws: VRC is rather janky. Rather buggy. Optimization is rather poor and it can be better if you have a good PC and good avatar and you go to good worlds-- but it still just chugs sometimes, okay? Loading can be horrendous too sometimes. We get it. Every world is built different. But still. And- I cannot stress this enough- the public lobbies are a nightmare.
If you want to have a good time- do NOT go into public lobbies. If you want to find good people to hang out with- join discord communities. Attend their events. Moderators will weed out the undesirables and you'll find your share of sane, sensible people. You just have to be patient and a little bit outgoing.
So I mentioned earlier that there are ways to make your experience better (discord being one of them) And- I'm not saying to sink all your money in if you're already not happy with the base level of the game. If you put your headset on and don't have fun- don't go out and buy trackers. It's that simple. That being said- if you do see the magic- then- yeah. Go get trackers. (Do your research first!) Cause VRC is a lot more fun the more immersed you get. Don't do Quest Standalone- you're gonna want a link cable and you're gonna wanna plug it into your PC. You'll get access to TONS of PC exclusive worlds and avatars and it's the best way to play VRC.
And- if you get motion sick- turn on the accessibility features. Don't just power through. Be sensible. If you're a newcomer to VR- limit the hours you spend playing in a day. If you play so much you make yourself bedridden- you're not going to want to keep playing. And- if you get motion sick- don't go to worlds where you have to do a lot of walking and turning and definitely not jumping. At least- not right away. Save the fun Among Us time for when you're more experienced moving in VR.
This is another given- but- go to fun worlds? (obv??) You'd be amazed the shit you can find in VR! Concerts, movie theaters-- you can even make coffee and it works just like a real espresso machine you see the baristas at Starbucks use. It's nuts.
Not sure where to look to find the good worlds? There are tons of youtube videos highlighting them. And discord doesn't hurt either. Look and you'll find them.
And please don't play VRChat without a VR headset. It's-- VR is in the name. common man :( its designed for VR immersion in mind bro
