Both are dumb fads that involve similar premises: the illusion of things on-screen "being closer to you", thus "immersing you in the game world". Even though they don't. With one you have optical illusions making it seem as if shit is flying out of the screen towards you, also potentially ruining your eyesight. The other involves having some visor or other dumbass peripheral, strapped to your face, so that you can pretend you're "actually in the game". When you know you're not, and look ridiculous with some shit strapped to your head. Plus, honestly, it could probably also ruin your eyesight.
Both of them are wastes of time in my opinion, and I really fail to see why either one garners the excitement from some people that it does. Call me a "traditionalist", but I just want to kick back, relax, and play my game on a TV. How video games were intended to be played. VR is never going to really "catch on" the way stupid 90s movies (and OR fanatics) seemed to think it would. And thank god for that, honestly.
