My point was that it’s hard to take people serious, who like you said “just have no interest in VR”. Those, in most cases, are people with prejudices. Why would you dismiss something without having even tried it? I’m speaking from experience btw. I know these stories. I was sceptical myself, man I know a lot of people who had the idea that “it’s just a screen strapped to your face” until they tried it. I just think it’s sad people react like that, when it’s imho literally the most exciting thing that’s happened to gaming in a long time. But that’s just the nature of it..it’s almost impossible to advertise it, so it’s going to take much longer than it usually would.

Exactly. Just looking at YouTube where people are using them doesn't give much of a clue of how it really feels. It's one of the things you have to try to really appreciate the tech in it. The moment I tried out the Vive and saw how perfectly it all worked together and how it felt, I was purely amazed. 

You know there’s always room for improvement, always will be..but as someone who started gaming with an Atari 2600 I cant help but feel amazed with what we have already.

I had a GearVR that has since been replaced with an Oculus Go. It's good for porn but not much else. VR still has some way to go.

Or you just buy better VR devices for porn. The better the resolution, the better the experience.

I tried PSVR one time for about fifteen minutes and go so sick I almost threw up, so you can understand why I personally never want to try VR again. I get carsick pretty easily, too, though, so it's probably a problem with me that VR advancement will likely not fix. If you're less motion sickness-inclined, it might be cool, though.

Go is already the most convenient device. Until PC VR devices get their shit together and make wireless headsets.

It’s not that easy really. It’s much more difficult in terms of power consumption and weight of the batteries if the hardware isn’t integrated in the headset. It adds considerable cost and weight and the higher the resolution gets the more extreme this becomes.

That makes me wonder how much experience you have.

Been gaming on almost everything since Atari 2600. You can leave those snarky comment up your a if you don’t want to contribute to the discussion. So how is your level of VR experience?

What about your own snarky comments? I'm about the last guy on this forum to support Rol, but he's right on this one. This is about the 1000th example of you questioning someone's VR experience when they say they're not impressed with the current offerings.

I’ve even read about people who got rid of their real life motion sickness by training in VR. Or vertigo, fear of spiders you name it.

If you are sensitive it’s very important to do it slow, start with easier and more stationary games. What game did you play if I may ask?

Same.

 

Not really interested until VR is fully there and fully realized and really refined, not to mention very cost effective. 

I really don’t get this attitude. It’s fully “there” already. Would you have missed out on PS1 too because it wasn’t a PS4 yet? Honest question. If not please explain why not then but now.

Yeah, but you don't get this attitude because for the same reason you don't get why PSVR has "only" sold 3 million units.

If someone passed on getting a PS1 because of the incredibly basic 3D graphics and instead stuck to their Super Nintendo until the PS2 came out and things were improved substantially would they be wrong in saying they passed on a PS1 because "3D graphics and gameplay wasn't there yet"? Of course not.

IF you are, then you'd also be aware how petty it can come off to label a group who doesn't see it your way as "parrots". 

It’s just a fact that many of the sceptics and naysayer have little to no experience with VR themselves. At least with good, real 6DOF VR and full games for it. It might be you’re one of them, it might be you’re not, but I’m sure you understand that owners of VR systems are at least sceptical of the credibility of people who don’t own a system themselves.

It's not a fact at all. You just don't believe that there's such thing as people who have used things like PSVR headsets extensively and are unimpressed with it. You have demonstrated this with me many times.
