I would be really interested in reading an article about this, but have no desire to watch a video on this.

I get where you’re coming from and an article may have been a better fit for it. I still enjoyed the video very much.

I thought this was an easy AI fix, but I probably would’ve been faster doing it on my own. Anyways, I added a text version now. It doesn’t have article-quality, but it’s something at least.

It was also a huge pita and I won’t be doing that again anytime soon.

You don't want to spend 18 minutes watching the video instead of 20 seconds reading a list?

The ranking is a bit too lenient that it kind of feels less useful. I understand that VR is a niche market and devs needed more encouragements. Plus more “must play” games bringing in more potential users. But a lot of the A/S ranking games on the list are just good or good enough, they are no where near great(s ranking).

Ranking some of those games S rank or A rank is not going to bring in more players. It’s doing the opposite, telling people that VR gaming are so lacking, even just a good game is god tier.

Most of the games on the list I would probably bring down a tier.

I agree, there’s way too many s-tier games. I don’t think he’s doing that as an encouragement though, he’s probably just looking at it with a different understanding of that tier.

Imo s-tier should be games that you keep coming back to, because they’re so good. I can’t imagine he keeps coming back to Kayak VR. It looks fine, but that’s about it. Probably the game that annoys me the most in that tier.
