I see some people saying that they managed to delete their save game to start over (yes, even this has no option in the game) by deleting the internal storage after disabling the cloud save:
So I'm wondering... if I delete cloud save, the download and backup this data folder, would I later be able to manually restore it and have the save file return?
If so, I'll probably end up doing something like this to backup my son's file when I find time to play on a weekend, then go through the annoying process again to restore his and backup mine when finished. But I'm not clear if that will even work.
EDIT: but I also see reports that playing on a second account profile works fine. So I doubtstruggler_guts is correct about the profiles thing; so far I see multiple people saying it works, and no contrary reports.
I don't know, on the other profile the game isnt in the library and when I go to the store it wants me to buy it

If anything is, probably going to be this - if you enjoy it. Not really a whole lot of other games in this scope - 100 hour single player campaign, loaded to the brim with content. Of course getting a Quest 3 allows many other great games like Nexus, and Alyx and so forth, and among the most clear looking VR you'll see to date with those pancake lens.

They needed a clickbait boost and gave the review to the guy who claims melee combat "doesn't work" in VR because you can't feel it (voiding all interactive VR, lol) to justify 3/5 as a valid opinion as we obviously can't force anyone/criticize them for not liking things we like even if they present it as objective fact to would be buyers! I particularly ignore UVR even if they seem the best to some for how they handle things, demand exclusives for showcases or never show off games outside sponsored articles (that no game should pay for again when they're marked - as they should be - but as the games have not been covered before - in order to cave and pay for coverage - no matter how much they're praised it obviously looks like/is just an advert to ignore), subscription fees for comments, etc., as you say they have clear bias too (but all big VR media lean to Meta). If the big VR sites is how one gets informed they miss out on 90% of the cool stuff out there. 99% for non Quest stuff (then they may report on a Quest port years later and wonder why it didn't do well elsewhere, oh right, bash the platform alone over it again, lol). I realise my coverage goes off the other deep end and much of it is stuff people don't care for but better show people so they decide, a site can still give a nod to the better made stuff. They still haven't shown one bit of Unification (which is also on Quest with 1 user review and 5 ratings so it's not just PC where VR games without coverage, visibility or first party pimps go to die but it's the same on all platforms as the same big games like Alyx, Boneworks and Beat Saber sell great on all, only some mid tier games inbetween the high and bottom tier do better on Meta which gets the most coverage) and countless other great titles.

Just had a quick go after the update. The bump to resolution and frame rate on my Q3 was a welcome surprise.

Yup, Heaney was such a whiney Facebook shill on Reddit around the Rift and Vive launches before he joined Uploadvr.

Wow, that's some excellent animation and attack patterning, very Monster Hunter, now I feel like such a game might work in VR even though VR controls are completely freeform so the opposite of the rigid animation priority in those games. I hope a talented developer makes such a game...
Some years ago there was an attempt at similar boss attacks that seems to have disappeared as suddenly as it appeared (I keep checking the channel hoping it resurfaces some day, lol) but these guys did it. Although going by the other videos of that game it was going to be a bit Souls-like.
So many VR devs seem to forget about traditional game design and go for all physics driven stuff a la Blade & Sorcery which just doesn't work outside certain scenarios and styles. They need to play Red Steel 2 or something and see how that game did enemies, combos and gesture specials.

I'm halfway through AW1 but it's safe to say none of your followers will carry over to the 2nd game, but you will have new followers that also double as mounts in AW2.Started Asgards Wrath 1 Yesterday after finishing HL Alyx. Does the shark dude carry over into the second game? I like pointing him to fight for me.
This game plays like a combination of First Person Hack and Slash and Third Person puzzle platforming.
I've already failed with the little nomes food riddle.What tastes better above it's feet? Everything? I've given him all animals I can find. Turtle, crab, starfish. and plants. nothing works.
As for the first Huldufolk riddle, try catching a bird mid-flight in your god form and squish it.
The game is reminds me a lot of Zelda pre-BotW, where the abilities you gain help you solve puzzles and progress through dungeons.
Based on reviews it seems AW2 is a more polished, open AW1. AW2's environments are massive in comparison, but overall don't expect a radical change.
Personally I'm enjoying AW1 a lot and easily one of the top 3 games I've played this year, even outside of VR.

Significantly clearer display (edge to edge, always in focus) due to pancake lens
Much better sounding built in speakers to the point Quest 2 generally needs earbuds/over the ear headphones and Quest 3 does not.
Faster OS
Lighter/more comfortable (but probably still need a comfort mod strap)
Mixed Reality may be useful depending on needs - certainly the passthrough UI is so much better
Better Wifi
If you're using it for PC VR or have other headsets, beyond a doubt yes.
If you just want to try out VR for cheap, depends on how much the above matters to you.
Also you can possibly factor in the price of AW1 ($60) + AW2 ($60) + $30 referral link against the price of the Quest 3, which may help.
But would you buy a PS4 today to play games or a PS5? PS4 will get you lower resolution games at lower framerate, it's a similar comparison, only IMO the clarity in the headset is more pronounced than the 1080p > 4k bump on consoles.

thanks , the 512gb and 128gb there's a 200$ difference.. is it really worth spending 200 more?

Man, it sucks. I can't even download the game now.
The Q3 enhancement update deleted the main game. Now, I have to download from scratch, and the download speed from Meta sucks. And the Quest 3 just cancels the download automatically after a few GBs -- regardless if it is on or sleeping.
Does anybody have any tips?

Just jumping in to say as someone with PSVR2 I jumped into a Quest 3 on an impulse and I’m blown away this is proper vr it feels next gen.

PSVR2 feels a bit like a con.
Tried this game out and it’s fantastic.

If only the resident evil games were ported to pc I wouldn’t feel a little bit jealous of if PSVR2. Glad it exists tho and are putting in the effort

No. I’ve played Asgard’s Wrath 2 on both. The increase is not worth the money to upgrade.

I think it doesn't hurt, but if you're already feeling like it's adding up too much, it is not necessary or anything... AW2 is 30GB, so you can have 3 games like that - *but* that's definitely an exception. There's a handful of 20GB games yes, but the vast majority of games - especially the ones you'd tend to play in VR a little every day tend to be 2-5GBs.
And all the PC VR games like Alyx, Squadrons, etc are 0GB lol.
But AW2 is a ~100 hour RPG - I personally don't enjoy playing multiple 100 hour RPGs / AAA games at once. So for me it's not a big deal to keep 1-2 games of that caliber and delete them when I'm done. I have Nexus (which is great) and AW2 installed on my 128GB, along with a bunch of smaller games (and some medium sized ones like RE4).
But I have fast internet and you can queue downloads from your phone while you're away/at work, so it's really no hassle to plan out 15 minutes ahead of wanting to play some 30GB to download it in advance. And I really don't hop between games like that everyday.
What you will notice is if the default straps are not the most comfortable - which there's a decent chance you'll find, something that provides support over the top of your head like the Elite Strap (and better if it's weighted on the back w/ a battery) is very much something to consider buying and factoring in to the price of the headset itself. Third party straps tend to be favored because Meta's stuff is overpriced, so definitely something to think about. But that's the headset's biggest weakness, and is pretty simply fixed, other than the LCD panel's inability to deliver pitch black blacks, which is really the only other drawback.
I've never heard of that - but the main things I'd try are 1 power off/on, 2 factory reset (assuming there's nothing in the wifi settings / forgetting the network/rejoining doesn't help). If it is still doing that, perhaps the issue is the router? Most people I've read have really fast downloads.
Praydog's mods exist through, and provide a similar experience if you don't own a PSVR2! I'm still extremely hyped for when/if the generic UE VR mod ever gets released, and then PC VR gets 100s of VR mods, granted not all will be great, but still, should be awesome for some!

First, thanks for responding. Really appreciate the help.
I don't want to factory reset just yet, but that is still sort of a last-resort option. I have tried powering on/off. I've also tried with different WiFi connections.
Apparently, this issue is very common.
Re: asgards wrath 2 wont download
on your quest in settings then system there is an option to turn on developer mode. then submitted the report within the quest itself, it will send all info relating to your quest.

Since the headset is pretty portable, from reading that thread it may be worth testing the router - if you're visiting anyone for the holidays or just over the next trip to a friend/family/work, I'd try rebooting and downloading on a different set of router/internet - then at least you can eliminate your own router/ISP as the issue depending on the result.

Much better, but the big differential is the pancake lenses, just another level of clearness and no annoying endless search for the "sweet spot"...

Thanks for the replies guys ! I'll probably go with the 128gb Quest 3 after the damn holidays, do a payment plan with amazon, damn thing ain't cheap.

Update: I confirmed that there’s no problem with multiple accounts.
Add a second account to your headset (easy these days since you don’t even need a Facebook login) and turn on “app sharing” (all users of headset can share games) and it just works — I use that second account for my own save game and my son uses the main one.

For considering a quest purchase, I wouldn't motivate my purchase off AW2. There is so much more to the whole ecosystem that goes far beyond it in terms of simulation and unique experiences. There is quite bit of depth beyond just traditional games that were "ported" to VR. I think that's what AW seeks to do, take the RPG gamer crowd and entice them into VR, but it's far deeper than that.

I’ve only played maybe 2 hours so I’m still in simple areas; the game runs excellent on the Q3 and looks sharp. My son enjoys it.
That said… it’s nothing like Alyx, which was a powerfully unique gaming experience to its core.
This game feels very by-the-numbers overall, executed fine but utterly predictable (smash pits for loot, run on special walls, hit a button on the wall to make the spikes recede, etc). i know that the god-mode comes into play more later, but right now I’d call this game “somewhat dull but nice comfort food.”
Even a game like Bone Lab which got relatively little attention felt much more strikingly original and inventive in its first hour than I expect AW2 to be in its entire playtime.

FIY OP. An "AAAA" game is on the same level as an "Cat 6" Hurricane. It doesn't exist and using it just tells people that someone has no idea how the game industry works.
(its taken from the bond credit rating system if your curious where "AAA" is the highest. In that regard it refers to a safe investment rather than quality).

I'm just kind of surprised they added wall running. VR games does far have been trying to play it too safe.
This is taking off the training wheels a bit, but keeping the obstacle course simplistic still.
As for game design is does things I hate. Too many smashable vases and boxes.
If you hide crafting materials in them, people going to smash them. If they are in every room, every corner it starts getting old really fast.
I'd rather have a big room that flows nonstop with a chest in the end, rather than having to pause to smash a vase that might contain something.

I've gone a bit further now and am certainly enjoying it.
The smoothness of the controls and visuals on the Quest3 is excellent, and it's great to just have a game with this kind of scope. I particularly love the menus, inventory screens, etc... they went the extra mile with detail.
EDIT: It's infinitely smoother than the other big showcase game of the holiday season, Assassin's Creed, which runs at half framerate with reprojection and all kinds of issues. I should have known better than to buy an Ubisoft product.

I was loving the Game, but since I was still in the beginning and heard about huge updates coming, I preferred to stop playing, go to other games, and wait a month or two for something I really want for Asgard's Wrath 2 :

I finally beat and 100% AW1 a few weeks ago and finally started the sequel. What you lose in graphic fidelity you gain in everything else: The world is massive and the game strutcture is closer to an open world action RPG than to a semi-linear God of War 2018 clone. If we can keep getting games with this scope on mobile hardware I am satisfied with the current inbetween Xbox/Xbox 360 graphics.

How long is AW1? I've been playing for well over 25 hours. For a VR game thats everything else VR I've played COMBINED.
