Conclusion below, but full read is highly recommended:
#The Frame
The Steam Frame is not for everyone; I’d argue VR isn’t generally. But despite taking far longer than it should have to materialize and costing more than I’d like, the Steam Frame is one of the most exciting pieces of hardware I’ve seen in the space in years, one that gave me that same feeling of optimism that the Index did so years ago. The Frame builds on the work done by its competitors in the years since the Index and solves so many friction points I’d had to actually engaging with VR as a medium at all. It is a device that is doing massive amounts of hard work to unify several different use cases into a single open platform, and, despite its individual parts being less novel, that unity is game changing. It is hardware whose importance may ultimately eclipse its remit, one with potentially massive consequences for PC gaming, but on its own terms it hits the sweet spot that I’ve yearned for so much from a successor. I only pray we do not have to wait another seven years for more.
Gamers Nexus has a pretty comprehensive review that covers both streaming and standalone play. Battery life is not particularly favorable but overall the sentiment is positive.
Sure, as usual his video is over an hour long, is full of unnecessary testing, and goes off on various unrelated tangents. And I have to wait several weeks for the written version.
It’s timestamped, skip to what you care about?
Edit: Here, I’ll save you even that amount of effort. Battery Life Benchmarks (4 minutes, 30 seconds)
“This review is not comprehensive enough”
Handed review that is more comprehensive
“This review is too comprehensive and also I have to wait for an extra thing they do as a bonus”
Quite the take
Is it really “quite the take” for one review to have not enough information, and another to have way more information than necessary?
No, but your reaction was. You were given the thing you asked for, then complained. Then complained the thing wasn’t in a different format not previously specified. Like, someone was trying to be helpful without much context and you were like, “No, this is the wrong kind of help”
I don’t know what you’re expecting from me. What I asked for was very specific, and was not provided. And I’m not going to watch a >1 hour video to find the single piece of information I was looking for. Your reaction is needlessly antagonistic though.
lol, saying the thing you did is not antagonistic. I don’t even think what you did was antagonist. My point was that you weren’t specific. You never said no videos, no other information. Someone gave you a thing that includes what you said you wanted, and you were like, “No, this isn’t right, and also I will have to wait for the thing that is closer to what I want but still isn’t right” It was funny. In that “How could the person who was literally trying to help have known?” kind of way.
Like, just say, “Thanks, but this isn’t what I was looking for for [these reasons]. I didn’t state them ahead of time”
They could have known by simply reading the comment that I wrote where I asked for the battery life…?
