Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it

  Ms flight simulator is quite clunky and hard to get good frame rates, but damn if you can put up with that it’s an awesome experience in VR. Also beat saber.

  For quite awhile now those have been the reasons for VR. Sad really. Still these two things are compelling.

    Beat saber is fun, but you definitely don’t need anything fancy to play that game

      Not sure I’m understand your antipathy. It’s a fun game, well executed, and the mods add to the experience.

      Because it’s fun af? Especially if you have someone to play with/against you. Shit gets competitive real fast

      Why so angry? It’s a great game in VR so why shouldn’t people recommend it. If it’s not your cup of tea that’s fine, don’t buy a VR headset

  Racing games in VR are excellent. It’s all I’ve played in vr for quite some time now.

  there are quite a few games out there that aren’t specifically VR games but are still very well suited for it because they put you in the cockpit of a vehicle. I haven’t really used my VR headset much for VR specific games, but I’ve been putting a lot of hours in Assetto Corsa Competizione because with VR and a wheel, I’m completely immersed. Same goes for people who like flight or space simulators

  I had the same thought when I had a Vive. I ended up just buying the Index Knuckles controllers so I could play HL: Alyx. It really is the only AAA game available that makes it worth it IMO.

  Because If you were going to spend 1 Million to make a game. Do you make a game that only a select few users can buy? Or do you make it so all gamers can buy it?

    I see your point and I agree with it but the “opposite” is also true.

    “If you have 1 million to make a game, do you make one in a system that is incredibly saturated with other games or do you do in a a system completely starved of good games?”

    So it’s a compromise. I still agree that your point has a bigger weight but there is something on the other side of the scale even if lighter
