Is the oculus rift worth it?

Buy a Vive instead

Maybe he doesn't want to spend $800

I have a vive. It would be more than worth it if I had a bigger home. As it stands I have to move all my furniture around every time I use it and it keeps me from breaking it out on amything other than special occasions or when I can be arsed to work on my project with it. It's really nice, but you need space that most people just don't have. Also vr porn is fine I guess. Buy and onahole if you plan on getting into that. There aren't really any games right now but what does exist is very very promising. If just anyone would focus on the strengths of the hardware and make things centered around atmospheric exploration then we'd be going somewhere.

Really makes you think.

Any new user actually has quite a few good games to go through nowadays buddy. It might be true if you're a jaded gamer, or you're only interested in a single genre of game.

>If just anyone would focus on the strengths of the hardware and make things centered around atmospheric exploration then we'd be going somewhere.

But those games exist. Lone Echo is a great one.

Get the Vive or don't bother getting a VR headset at all.

i've tried both vive and oculus and vive seems way superior.
>no need to be plugged onto computer
>controller that tracks position and rotation and all
>tracking of body in space

oculus is just a fancy google cardboard as far as i noticed.

How early did you try this stuff out? Oculus has positional tracking and hand controllers now.
The real benefits of the vive are these:
>1 usb connection for the headset instead of 3+ for the headset and each camera
>much bigger playspace
>ever so slightly lighter
>no Facebook botnet, option to disable steam botnet if you know what you're doing

I admit I was tempted to pick one up with the recent price drop, but I keep coming back to the games (what there are of them). They seem like little more than glorified tech demos, and nothing that would hold my interest past an hour or two.

I think it's going to take at least another year or two before developers really figure out what works and what doesn't, and we start to see more compelling games come out.

I just got an S7 and I cant wait to get VR Gear for 4k VR porn. Way better than big ass Oculus/Vive.

>>61541289
Yes.

I had a customer bring one in for me to setup.. I couldn't get the fucking thing to fit on my head.. Let the whole thing back and had to squeese the fucking thing on.. Then the headpiece didn't fit my face and was pushing SOOO HARD on my temples and let a lot of light in from the nose area..

0/10 for me.. Can't enjoy immersion while it feels like Jason Vorhees is trying to crush my skull

>>61541836
If you're going to get VR why would you get a headset that only works if you sit in one spot?

>im too fat for vr to fit my fatass face, therefore oculus sucks

Thanks for the heads up - I've been concerned about the whole "you need a vive for room scale" argument for a while. When my wife and I used to play kinect games it was near impossible to move the furniture around enough to clear a space in front of it. How many people have a spare room in their house just for a VR masturbatorium?

>>61546598
Because I have money for a Rift but not a room to dedicate it.

>>61547136
As long as the furnitures against the wall it'll work

I don't want to be standing up. I just want to sit on my comfy sofa and enjoy a good game where I move around using the usual gaming controller methods. Fuck standing!

This is what causes motion sickness in a lot of people.

>>61545986
Like how fucking fat can your face be, really?

>>61548060
exactly what I thought when I got the Rift, then played a few standing games and now I wish I went for the Vive
