1.) Have you used VR? If yes, what headsets have you used? What did you like and dislike about it?
Yes, I used an OR while at a friend's house last year.
I liked the design of the headset, but disliked how it fit around my glasses and generally didn't like how it felt (Also not a fan of 3D glasses).
2.) Are you interested in VR? Why or why not?
Not really all that interested in VR, mainly due to the cost of the headsets, the lack of polish to said VR games, their limited capacity and scope for what VR games do, the headset not feeling all that comfortable, VR game exclusivity, VR headset exclusivity etc. I just feel really put off VR from where it currently stands.
3.) Do you think VR will be popular in the future? Why or why not?
I don't think it will be all that popular. We've had VR in the 90's and that stayed for a while and then vanished off the map for some years. We're now seeing the same sort of act, only it's been upgraded more and comes with a higher cost, with the games not being as polished, let alone close to AAA values.
If VR is to become popular, it needs to work and be cost effective for everyone who wishes to buy into it/try it. The VR industry needs to cut the crap with VR exclusivity, as well as locking said games to one storefront/headset/system. They also need to design the headsets better for prolonged use, as well as being perfect (and I mean perfect) for those like me who wear glasses (Seriously though, I fucking loathe 3D glasses).
4.) What games do you want for VR? What games would make you buy a VR headset?
At ther moment nothing. The games I want work fine for the traditional screen. an RTS in VR could be nice, but so far everyone who has tried to make one has always fallen short or screwed it up in some way.
I wouldn't exactly buy a headset for one game either. For an expensive VR headset, there would have to be at least 50 games to entice me to buying one, and all 50 of those have to be actual games, not gimmicks and small party titles, but polished and meaningful ones.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
