I have now tried Virtual Reality and it is amazing

I have ironed out most things at this point with the G2, with that said overall I still don't like it, the FOV and the lenses. I think these are the worst lenses I have seen in all my headsets including the ones with bad god rays and glare. The blurriness around the edges making the FOV even worse, other weird things with white light that almost makes the image shift when you turn your head. I don't know I am liking the crisp monitor like resolution but I really want it on a better headset. At this point I am thinking the Quest 2 hooked up to your PC might be slightly better, for the loss of resolution and a little color at least the lenses are not crap.

Apparently my dad has been playing alot of Quest. He has been playing a lot of In Death which I recommended and he is really into it. I have been playing it for the last week as well; I don't know what it is about that game but it is really satisfying hitting everything with that bow, it becomes like 20 minutes of meditation. If I were to compare it to an arcade game I would compare it to that X-men beat 'em up game. All you have is a jump and one attack and yet you can keep going through one guy after another and feel like it is good stuff.

From everything I have seen, I can't even fathom a Q2 being better. The general consensus from those who have purchased both units was that they thought the Q2 looked pretty good until they tried the G2 and realized how much better it is. It sounds to me like you wanted an Index 2, but bought a Reverb G2 because there isn't one, and the price tag is causing some buyer's remorse. The other point about the lenses is puzzling. Even with a small fall-off of sharpness out of the razor-sharp center, it still has more clarity than any other unit out there by virtue of the panel resolution. But at least for my facial geometry, the fit of the unit makes it pretty easy to stay put in that high-sharpness zone.

I will agree about In Death. It's one that I always find myself going back to. It's even better now on the G2, given the artistic detail in the scenery (at least on the PC version) and the fact that those archers are often pretty distant. It's a lot easier to dial in on them now in long-range battle.

I don't know if your dad is into gunplay and techno-pop, but he might like Pistol Whip as well. It has a similar "hop in and play" vibe, and once you get tired of the aim-assisted, big hit-box style of rhythm game, you can turn on dead-eye and make it a real shooting game. It gets pretty brutal in that mode. I believe all versions just got a major update with a campaign mode as well.

fallacy:
Ya I was trying to get them Pistol Whip, I finally got my mom to buy Super Hot on an Oculus sale and I had my dad try it when I was over one night; we will see if he continues to play it on his own. I had them try and buy Beat Saber when they first bought the Quest but they said they were not playing it.

Heh. I'm starting to wonder if they are in my age bracket. I remember when the devs announced that they were working on BS, and thought it sounded cheesy. It apparently struck some chord in the general public that likely surprised even the devs (good for them). I remain skeptical, however, and wouldn't even consider the purchase for more than $10, but it never goes on sale.

fallacy:
BS is still the best games on index with the most replay ability. Downloading all the player made ones with good songs is what keeps the game interesting; I have like 20 favorited that I found that think are better than the ones that came with the game. You also need a good stereo system/sub in your room to get the full in pack. With the index he higher FOV helps see where you are cutting while keeping your eyes straight ahead for incoming blocks. The index controllers work well, undo the straps and hold them like swords. Still running into problems with the G2, the game is not running as quite as smooth as it should, I noticed the lower FOV in that game most of all. I am also getting a second sound lag between the G2 speakers and my stereo which I was not getting with the index.

When you get good and you have the sound system you start to feel like you are conducting an orchestra or something.
