If I had my own personal living arrangement with enough space to set up VR. Also if I had enough disposable income to justify the expense.

Cost is the biggest barrier of entry for me tbh. The only headset I'm interested in is Index, and that costs more than I'd like it to be. I'd also be more interested if we saw more VR games like HLA.

Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Half-Life Alyx was the first game that made me even remotely think about wanting a VR headset but that was a very brief moment. as I looked at the prices for VR headsets and see they cost way too much.



Two things:

- No motion sickness
- FF XIV VR Edition



Resolutions and graphics just need to improve abit more.

If they can do that, and keep prices as is, or lower.... VR should grow then. (ideally a VR headset wouldnt be more than ~149$ imo)

I owned a HTC Vive since october 2016 so only a little after release. Before I would upgrade it would require 3 things
1) Upgraded hardware (resoultion, field of vision etc)
2) A latency free wireless option (the current wireless modules they sell for vive expensive and depending on game add to much latency)
3) A game that I believe will be more enjoyable and fun with the upgrades in number one

On side note am about halfway though HalfLife: alyx and WOW by far the best graphics I seen and experience I had in VR to date. First time since early on with the VR headset that I actually was truly wowed graphically to what I was seeing while in VR. I almost went out and bought the Index controllers for my Vive because I think it would improve the experience even more vs the Vive controller. In the end I could not justify the cost through. It the closest thing to a complete AAA game there is in VR. For time played Beat Saber will remain number one (easily got over 40 hours so far and counting) since I use it as exercise but as far as VR experiences Halflife will be the game I show friends if they thinking about getting VR.



Pricing and available software. There's only a handful of decent titles for VR use and the prices are ridiculous. Not only the sets themselves, but also the hardware requirements for the kit. The investment is quite simply not worth it, not even close. And by the looks of it, it won't be for a very long time.
HL: Alyx looks amazing, but no one title could spur me to purchase a VR set. I don't think even ten titles of that quality would.



I already have one, but for me to be interested in using again I would need room since my kids run amok

Well, technically I've been using VR since the Gear VR and now the Oculus Go. But that's just for porn. To actually game on VR I will need a great game first. A good open world RPG.

Also I'll need much better hardware. The current offerings are just pitiful. I need a headset that would actually fully utilize a 3080ti. And all of that preferably wireless.

Doesn't Skyrim VR qualify?

@DonFerrari you just reminded me that I don't have Skyrim VR! Gonna watch some reviews and probably buy it today.
