Hello friends, I've come to the point where my desire for a VR headset has become too great to resist and it's time to get one.
After some research, I've gotten my eye set on the Oculus Quest 2, mostly for it's cordless function and all-around lack of need for a PC connection to use, but I was wondering how it feels to own.

Does anyone here have any experience with the Quest 2 and specifically if it is usable for the usual goodies to be found on this site?
Any notable problems with hardware or games library, or even recommendations for a different headset?
Taking all suggestions, thanks in advance!

I bought a Quest 2, Saints and Sinners The Walking Dead is worth the price alone, it's awesome. I cannot speak for playing PC VR games as the only one I want to play my PC won't run it. Also, the Quest 2 playing 8k VR porn is fucking epic.

I have the original Oculus Quest, it can be used as a standalone VR headset and it can connect to the PC for PCVR games so it's a winwin!

That's just about all I needed, thank you very much! :D
Side question, does it NEED to be connected for PCVR or can it download them and run them standalone?

For PCVR games it needs to be connected to a PC, just like all headsets.

If you have the money get the index, vive2 or even the reverb g2 which afaik has the best image quality.
If you really want the occulus be aware that you HAVE to connect your facebook account and they will get all the data they want.
