Virtual reality ads make their way to Facebook's Oculus headsets

A 20$ VR game is usually (if it is linear) about 3-6 hours long.

"Superhot VR" (25$) 2-3 hours, if you are a completionist, about 6 hours.

"Star wars: Tales from the galaxy's edge" (25$) 2-3 hours, if you are a completionist, about 4 hours.

I think the longest single player VR game that exists now is "The Walking dead: saints & sinners" (40$) which is around 11-14 hours long, but it is barely linear, it is more like a fallout/far cry game but with far less interesting locations. Completionist have played it for 30 hours in total.

Be careful. By putting a lot of emphasis on length, you'll end up with ubisoft games, where 80% of it is filler content to get to the 100 hour completion time and only about 20% are actually fun and worthwhile. (I'm overexaggerating but you get the idea).

I'm at least 10 hours in on beat saber, and I feel like I'm just getting started.

You are just getting started. I've only now felt like I've hit the wall, and I'm at about 300 hours.

What rank? I've felt a huge difference in competition at 2500+. 10k to 5k wasn't bad, but the moment 2500-3000 and consistent 300pp plays just to maintain it hit I felt the burn.

I don't grind PP, Never got into that scene. I've just been working on songs, and as it stands I can't crack Expert+ Ghost, Light it up, and Spin Eternally. That seems to be my limit.

generally 100k to 200k if you're talking about leaderboard position.

Well say goodbye to your life! I'm hundreds of hours in now and play 4 hours a week minimum.

Skyrim VR could beat that 30 hours :) And I've probably played 2-300 hours of beat saber.

If you like action sci-fi RPG, I'd recommend Space Pirates and Zombies 2. I played the whole thing in its optional sit-down VR. One non-completionist run through took me about 30 hours.

Asgard's Wrath took me about 40 hours for my first play through. And the internet seems to suggest about 29 hours just for the main story and up to 80 hours for the completionist

Half Life Alyx definitely lasted over 20 hours for me.
