Forums - Nintendo Discussion - LABO VR Kit - Video Overview released

DreadPirateRoberts on 10 March 2019

Actually, he specifically did say he wanted to to fail in the comment I quoted.  He's also argued that it isn't selfish to hope Nintendo doesn't invest in things he doesn't personally like.  Which is amusing since that's pretty much the definition of selfishness.    His attempts to play it both ways after he began to take heat are not impressive to me.

I'm kinda glad Nintendo didn't give too much spotlight for this VR kit announcement after underwhelming sales of the previous version.

Anyone complaining or being angry at this are inmature manchildren.
Grow the hell up.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Nope, he said he hope's it doesnt perform SUPER WELL, there is a very large middle ground between super well and fail.

THANK YOU.

I don't get why VR advocates can't seem to accept the simple fact that some folks aren't into VR. It's always "oh you probably haven't even tried it/you just haven't tried the right headset/you're closed-minded/etc." NO. I JUST. DON'T. CARE. FOR. VR.

I'm sorry Curl, but you are not the victim you really trying to pass yourself off as in this thread.  This has absolutely nothing to do with "VR advocates" not being able to accept the "simple fact that some folks aren't into VR".  In this case, it is about how you can't seem to accept that some folks are into VR.  You would have been fine if you had just said "this doesn't really appeal to me."  But that's not what you said.  Instead, you went with this:

"Pretty much how I feel. I don't like VR so hopefully this doesn't perform super well and they don't invest any more in it."

Wanting something to fail because it doesn't appeal to you is childish.   You came in looking for a fight with a comment like that, so don't whine about the fact you got one.

Two quick points of order first up:

- I have never indicated that I cannot accept that some people are into VR. 

- I have never said I want LABO VR to fail, in fact I stated multiple times that I do not.

I have been called both selfish and childish (while I haven't name-called anybody) simply for not wanting Nintendo to go full bore into VR at the expense of non-VR gaming. Would you call Xbox gamers selfish and childish for not wanting the next Xbox to go full bore into Kinect again at the expense of traditional games?

People are pissed now? Imagini it outsells PSVR then you will see angry people =p

In before the "only outselling because of Japan" posts. 

And if Labo VR sells less than PSVR even costing less than 1/4?

On your defense of his attitude and how comparing safety glasses/helmets to HMD you could also look at comparison between VR and being hit in the head by a car.

Nintendo has a fever and the prescription is more cardboard! I sincerely hope these are cheap to make as some are claiming because as an investor I am tired of watching Nintendo go back to Labo over and over again. I am also sad to see VR here but not because I’m afraid it cheapens VR, I am afraid VR cheapens Nintendo. Then again, if this gets the VR itch out at Nintendo, maybe it is all worth it.
No offence VR fans, the tech may be great fun (haven’t tried it) but I think it’s a business flop. The idea that cheap versions could ruin the overall sales suggests the product still needs work, IMO.

First mover and craving a spot in the market is also valuable.

The flaw in your latest argument curl is the assumption that a new Labo kit comes at the expense of non-VR gaming. There is literally zero evidence to support this assertion.
