You should use WD40 on life it super effective. Jokes aside if you get your life on the rails again, surely a matter of time and you decide to buy PSVR RE7 is surely worth checking out.

Thanks dude. Did you know that was invented during the cold war to prevent nuclear missiles from getting rusty? And it's called WD40 because it was the 40th attempt at creating it? Water Displacement attempt #40. If you DID know that already, high five!

Haha nice and people say I spend to much time on game forums. Now know why WD40 is called that way. Thanks for the info.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

My PC is more than enough for VR, but I'm waiting on a new headset refinements in the future, as well as reduced costs and VR games to vastly improve in the future. I'm likely to buy a VR headset by 2022 than I am now.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Had an Oculus Rift. Played a couple games on it. Returned it within a month. It was definitely cool for the first few weeks though. But stopped playing it much near the end of the first month.

Not much into VR gaming. I was turned off by what is capable of currently in terms of screen quality and the screen door effect (which I had no clue about before the purchase). Also hope for a time of more natural controls. The amount of wires and what still needs to be a direct connect headset (at least for the Rift I had) also didn’t help.

I’ll wait a couple years until the screen door effect is either gone or close to it. Then pick one up again probably.

I'm interested in the PSVR but not the current one, I'm waiting for updated hardware, something more wireless to begin with. Also by waiting I will have more choice of games.

Nope  a man with a big head.  I cant even stand shades or glasses on my face or hats on my head. The thought of something as big as a vr headset just seems even more uncomfortable for me

I can see that being an issue, of course. PSVR is more comfortable than Vice and Rift, because it doesn't get pressed on your face, but if you're having problems with glasses or hats already, I sure hope you'll be able to find a way to still try out VR someday.

Im sure I'll get to try it someday I can see my brother getting a vr one day

I have not been that interested but now that MS are betting hard on VR with a unique twist, I am getting there :).

Did I miss something? What are you referring to?



Nope. VR sucks. So no thanks.



I’d rather wait till it’s become mainstream, completely wireless with a good amount of battery life and better graphics/gameplay , the games there don’t appeal to me, now they’re starting to come out like RE7 etc. I’d rather it have more and more third party games as well as big first party exclusives. Man I love playing GTA and it’s a Third person game but the first person is a nice option to have, if definitely split up some of my time playing gta in vr. Also first person games would be epic.

Microsoft has gone under the radar here but are doing something pretty smart IMO. In the fall creators update for Windows 10,they included software for VR capabilities. Several hardware developers like Samsung, Lenovo, Dell and so on is then licensed to create VR headsets according to basic specs provided from Microsoft. The smart approach with these headsets is that you get access to windows in VR (you can wqatch movies, play Xbox One through PC. It´s not a complete experience yet but it´s getting there) and the headsets has cameras built in which means you don´t need an external setup to use them. Microsoft calls this "Mixed Reality" which is only PR talk, but they have a really intereting approach to this.

The headsets themselves are quite affordable aswell.
