| DeZA said: look, its good you enjoy vr but calling my post dumb is pretty much confirming your disregard for human health. its amazing how you and a few people can play vr for as long as you want without any pain (and i salute you), but don't be ignorant to the fact that you are in the minority. the truth is, vr has caused more pain than enjoyment for the majority. |

Looks like 87% of PSVR owners are happy with their purchase on this site, so I'm assuming if has caused more enjoyment than pain.
The remaining 13% are sad owners (not my wording), could be motion sickness or just not the games and graphical quality that they wanted.
There are plenty options to reduce motion sickness, yet a lot of it can be prevented by simply getting used to it. It's a bit like getting new prescription glasses. At first everything seems to be moving a bit wrong and the frame seems to stick in your fov, until after a few days your brain adjusts and the view stabilizes and the edges seem to have faded away. Taking the glasses off still works, you're not unlearning previous correlations. Or compare it to learning to step on/off an escalator. It becomes second nature until you step on a broken one.
Ofcourse the tech is still a bit expensive to find out you're one of the unlucky ones that easily gets sick. Yet a first 15 minute experience resulting in motion sickness doesn't mean you'll be stuck with it. Doom made people sick too on PCs when it came out, some games still do. It didn't doom 3D games, and refinements have been made to reduce motion sickness.
A lot of it comes down to getting used to these new sensations. Same as trying to play fps with mouse+kb for the first time or with a controller or wii mote. Turning with wii mote in Red Factor and ps move in KZ3 made me feel kinda green too at first. First time playing an fps with a controller on console I thought this is never going to work :) With VR it's the same although more amplified. After a while you learn to expect what happens when turning and moving. It's the difference between being behind the wheel in a car and being a passenger getting tossed around in the back. Once your brain learns what to expect, you'll be much more resistant to any form of motion sickness.
