I’m a 30 year old woman who’s only really played card and puzzle games on my phone. Im considering new hobbies. Is it worth trying to get into video games for the first time. Where would I even start.

    Your personal experience isn’t everyone’s experience. VRChat alone is worth spending some time in (assuming you escape the kids). I know some people that Only play Walkabout Mini Golf, and there’s nothing wrong with that. For someone completely new to gaming I think it’s a good start. Wish there’s been a shitload of new VR games this year.

      It’s great that you like VR and want other people to try it. But when someone asks for a recommendation, you can’t just attempt to drag them into your own world like that, c’mon. VR is expensive, cumbersome, needs extra space in the house, has very few games (actual games) worth playing, etc. It’s an amazing immersive technology, yes. But a 30yo that never touched a game before? There’s very little in terms of gaming on any VR platform for them to experience, instead there’s a lot of VRing, which I think misses the point of this thread.
