a DRAGON?" he announces dramatically, complete with a bow and sweeping gesture of his virtual hands. But after all this time alone, it's almost thrilling to wave to someone and see them wave back. One is amusingly AFK, his hands laying on the ground beside him as he takes a break in the real world.
People flit here and there, but plenty stop to wave or chat. Others are engaged in combat just outside town. One is trying to sell a dragon to another player. Do all this with other VR players from around the world."Īfter a tutorial where I learn how to use my map, compass, and a weapon-some of these items use menus but others you can just pluck from holsters and the backpack on your body-I perform a quest that requires shooting a deer in the face with a blunderbuss, then visit the town square. Explore the city, plant a garden or throw some rocks in a pond or shoot some hoops. It's called Community Garden (opens in new tab), in Early Access on Steam: "Community Garden exists as a place for the VR community to escape from reality. While searching some forums for recommended VR MMOs, I come across a post from a developer who is making "something like" Ready Player One's Oasis.
I decide to leave despite never having found a group of misunderstood outsiders to join. Oasis isn't supposed to be just about playing games, it's about pretending to be someone else in a huge crowd of people who are also pretending to be someone else. Also, while some of the games in the Oasis beta might be fun, I'm all alone in here. It's not nearly as fun as Gauntlet, plus I run into some serious input lag that makes me feel sick as my virtual hands stop syncing up with my real ones. Next I enter Planet Doom, a shooter, where I fight against waves of enemies who explode into coins when I blast them.
