That just blows my mind, really.

VR as the most immersive way to enter a videogame world = gimmick

Cardboard folding = interesting

That's a valid opinion for anyone to have outside a videogame forum. Inside one is bizarre to say the least.

 

Not criticizing your opinion though, just finding it really weird.

You have to take into account what the goal of each product is.

VR is about isolation & immersion.

Labo is about creation & interaction.

 

One is about taking yourself away from your surroundings and entering a new world while the other is about engineering your own devices and seeing what they can do.

 

For someone who loves to build which product is more appealing?

My main point is the following:

 

1 product relates to videogames, a new, more immersive way of playing videogames

The other product is only in the most tangential way related to a videogame (pretty much having the Nintendo logo on it).

 

So how in a videogame forum can we seriously be praising the later one while dismissing the first?

 

I would understand that in a forum regarding lego or other similar types of hobby/toys, but not on a videogame forum that is so hardcore we discuss sales (hw & sw) as well as console wars.

 

Of course anyone is free to enjoy what they enjoy, that should go without saying.
