it's just if they could bring down the price where more people are willing to impulse buy it. It's very useful for the games that it suits, but not the way you'd want to play every game, and a certain combination of expense, effort, and room is required to get started (an investment that I haven't been prepared make yet, though the dedicated space might be my biggest obstacle).Īs long as you don't think of VR as being some big revolution that's gonna change gaming (spoiler: it won't), you'll get more out of it, I think.I mean it kind of does change gaming. Whether it's a "gimmick" I guess depends on your definition of the word "gimmick." I think of VR as more akin to a steering wheel or a flight yoke and pedals. I haven't used VR really, but your sentiments seem to match my expectations. Quoting: scaine Quoting: WorMzyI get that Alyx was supposed to be a showcase of VR potential and shoehorning keyboard and mouse support afterwards is unlikely to provide a comparative gaming experience, but it annoys me that I can't play the latest game in a series I've been playing since the late 1990s just because I can't splash out £1000+ on an sparsely-used gimmicky bit of tech that I wouldn't even be able to use unless I reorganise my living room. Nor does Automobilista 2, or Ultrawings, or any cockpit-style game.Īs long as you don't think of VR as being some big revolution that's gonna change gaming (spoiler: it won't), you'll get more out of it, I think. But I have hundreds of hours in Elite, which doesn't need any room to play at all (you just sit at your desk, as normal).
My last big adventure in VR was The Room VR, which was superb, and now I'm enjoying Until you Fall which Liam streamed a while back. I'm in VR about two or three times a week, even if only for 15 minutes in BoxVR to get some (much needed) exercise. The games I play in VR very different to what I'd play in "pancake" mode, but they're just as much fun, albeit in a different way. It's definitely not a gimmick to me though. If if you have, and you still think it's a gimmick, I don't know what to say! I usually find that people who call VR a gimmick though just haven't tried VR on a modern headset. And if you think it's a gimmick, then you'll never spend that kind of money, I agree. You're right about the expense, so I think the trick is that you make sure that it's not "sparsely used".
