Hey /b/ so i was wondering if buying a cheap 20 dollar vr was worth it, take pic related for example
I have videos that i can play on my phone using the vr. I dont need the gyro function just video alone. I bought a cardbox vr before but it didnt feel immersive and was very uncomfortable.I was wondering if i were to just use a vr like this just to view videos would it give me arround the same experiense as say the oculus rift? Note that again i dont need any gyro type of functions simply viewing experience. And what are the differences between the cheap and expensive vr when watching a porn vid or some gayming vid

I want a headset so I can use it as a monitor so I can do away with monitors completely, don't really care about the vr aspect
I just wanna play fighting games on it

All 'mobile vr' is the same, none of it is worth your time. Just playing stereo video in an untracked HMD is shit you will use to fap once and then probably literally bin the HMD. It is not the 'personal 3D theater' experience you are imagining. You DO need head tracking, and not just gyro rotational tracking but full positional tracking.

There are going to be like a half-dozen of the new 'standalone' inside-out tracking HMDs which will be in the $200-400 range, in the next 12 months, and Valve has 'SteamVR 2.0' stuff to announce within the next few months as well.

B-but anon i dont give a shit about head tracking. I just want to fap to my pern. So tell me what is the actual difference between 600 and 20 when watching a video that does not require tracking?

PS3 games for dad Anonymous 2017-06-24 07:57:13 Post No. 381642593 [Report] [View this topic]

Yo, I gave my PS3 to my dad (67) bcause he needed a DVD / video player. He also asked for games.

My only memory of him actually playing games was back in the 90s when I watched him play Monkey Island. Obviously he's not used to holding a controller and doesn't have any sense of button layouts, so I wanna go easy on the controls. I was thinking something like Walking Dead but I also want him to have something more arcade-ish.

>BioShock Infinite still $7.49 like it was in the last 9000 sales

I refuse to buy it until it's $4 or less.

Pretty much. Though I'd say the gap for 2 being better is not too much, but it's a giant yawning chasm between 1 and Infinite.

Medieval 2: Total War Anonymous 2017-06-24 07:53:30 Post No. 381642381 [Report] [View this topic]

I knew i'd regret buying a pc with win 10.
you see, me, a poorfag from buttfuck egypt, spent all my saved money on a decent computer recently because my old one (really old, i got it used almost 10 years ago) just didnt do it anymore. i am pretty good with computers, so age is but a number to me in regards of computers (to a certain degree)

anyway, so i picked up this used game (medieval 2 Total War) from a flea market some years ago, expected it to run like rome total war on my old pc on the lowest resolution and everything, but it didnt, so i waited this long to try it out - and now it doesnt work either, but for other reasons.

i did some research myself on the matter and only found people who recommended...

> buying it on steam
> using it on an older OS
downgrading isnt an option to me as i just imported over 1.4 TB of data onto it from all my old extern HDDs, cloud storage and memory cards and sticks. i need all of it to work and completely lack the time
and i lack the the money for a new old OS
> and lastly, getting a code from a physically bought game, entering it on steam and then downloading and playing it that way (without paying another time)
problem there is either my code doesnt work/is too smudged and i cant read it anymore, because i tried at least 500 variations of it by now and none worked or the guy who sold it to me already used the code before selling it. finding that guy is nigh-impossible, the city i live in has flea markets that are way too big to overlook and i dont remember that guy's face or heard his name

so i ask you now, do you have any idea on how to run this thing? compatibility mode alone does nothing, i still cant even start the program and all other things i tried didnt work with me (and neither did with other people)

or, if there was someone so generous that would send his code to this email address that i just made for this occasion to save my almost hobo ass:
[email protected]

thanks guys
