If all people were doing was praising and celebrating VR then I wouldn't have anything to comment on, would I?

Like I've said, if you want to all high five each other about how VR is the future of gaming, and how everyone else who doesn't get it is an ignorant heathen, perhaps this message board isn't the place for you.  If you have a problem with other injecting a little reality in it, enough to make posts whining about people talking about the realities of the actual state of VR, why do you care so damn much?

Continue with your straw manning, I'm not pushed. It's just silly that you end up in every thread saying he same things at nauseam to the same people and now you've started to group everyone, casuals and all with the evangelicals and continue to strawman. 

I'm not replying any further, these discussions go nowhere and seem to be only for the fight of it. Good day.  

Strawmanning?  Strawmanning is where someone tears apart arguments that others have not made as if they have. Where have I done that? Are you not trying to shame me out of posting in this thread and other VR threads? Have other VR enthusiasts not vehemently defended VR's potential in past threads, and attempted to insult, belittle or discredit anyone who didn't share their enthusiasm? Have I not been read repeatedly that VR is the future of gaming continuously over many threads? Have I not read in this very thread a user expressing legitimate frustration that others don't share his enthusiasm for VR, and how much those who don't share it are missing out in a similar way to how evangelicals describe their experience?

Who says I'm grouping people? Am I responding to any user that isn't going over the top about VR? No. Only the over-zealous ones. Where have I made the vast generalizations you're accusing me of?

If you don't want to reply, that's fine. But perhaps if you're not interested in conversation, you should refrain from replying to my posts in the future. Just a suggestion.

I’m feeling the same way. Astrobot is honestly what just pushed me over the edge. I had kind of let go of the prospect of getting PSVR until I saw the universal praise for Astrobot. Pretty sure I’ll get a headset on Black Friday. 



Do we have any ideas on sales? It didn't do that well in the UK charts unfortunately :( This game deserves great sales, am hoping a lot of people just purchased it digitally.

Must go back and complete all the challenges now (which will probably make me crazy :D

I'm planning to get one eventually. Waiting for a drop in price.

I know it did around 8-10k in Japan. So it's probably not selling very well unfortunately.

Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

I´ve seen some people say they find it as 'magical' as the first time they played Mario 64 way back in the 5th generation.Anyone share that opinion?
