Rent it out to poor fags in your area for the "Real VR experience" then take their money and kick them in the bojangles. You gave them what they asked for after all.

What's wrong with it though?

VR is a meme and a gimmick. It will completely die in 2 years.

Just because it's taken two years to pull the plug on something doesn't mean it's been alive for two years.

It's just starting. Particularly after Oculus' controllers came out and devs can count on more people using them.

There are more than enough sales to keep things rolling and it'll only increase as prices go down.

People have been toying with and trying for VR for literally decades, I remember 20 years ago when there were psudo3D goggles using twin screens. The issue is how fast and how adaptable the media using the hardware is. Old ones were just janky crap that you see in current movies that do 3d post production that looks like washed out crap. I'm hoping it's not just a new hype bubble that fails out and sits on its haunches for a decade but the tech is up in the air and unless there's a unified standard that everyone works from and sells hardware for it's just going to turn into another "laserdisc/DVD" issue where people get burned by buying into one thing but being left behind after a industry standard comes out.

You should have gotten a vive you stupid niggers. This is your own faults. You paid Facebook, what did you fucking expect?

I was so excited when I heard about this vr stuff, but when they finally came all the ""games"" were just gimmicky minigame bullshit. Sure there are games like TF2 that have vr for "enhanced gaming experience", but has there been a single vr game that is a good game by its own merits?

I wish there was some surreal vr-based rpg where you have to float in cyberspace and do cool shit like in those 90s hacker and cyberpunk movies.

Oculus (Touch bundle). It's plenty cheaper than Vive now, with better controllers and Robo Recall included. The touch controllers work pretty well in Honey Select, but in Elite Dangerous you don't use the VR controllers anyway so it doesn't matter if you go Vive or Oculus.

>>378338834
>Ask for good games
>Give list of good games
>N-NO ITS JUST TRASH B-BELIEVE ME ITS BAD BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD IT

>>378338515
Not an exclusive, but Elite Dangerous in VR with a stick & throttle combination is easily the most impressive thing in gaming ever.

The demo-ish games are mostly worthless after an hour or so. Robo Recall stays fun for longer and is probably the most fun way the VR controllers have been used so far, but it's not a system seller in my eyes.
Elite Dangerous definitely is, you just can't describe how much it changes your gameplay experience in VR.

>>378338726
>A vr game is bad without the vr.
The whole point of the game is being able to physically aim guns and crouch/prone to fight in the game. Without that it's just another Counter strike clone.

Plus if it were just as good without VR, the next thing some clown will say is it isn't even needed.

So why haven't eh Chinks released a $300 VR headset yet? What the hell is taking them so long?

>>378338508
The motion sickness was because you are moving in VR but not real life. It isn't an Oculus thing
Also a vast majority of games that work on Vive work on Rift to the point where I think non compatibility has to be done intentionally.

>>378339423
Most games for Oculus are assuming you're sitting. Most games on vive are assuming you're walking around. There's a reason you don't hear vive owners talking about motion sickness

>>378338270
OK look, if you're fine with dropping $600+ on a novelty toy, good for you. I'm not. VR is a gimmick, just like the goddamned Kinect was, just like the Wii before it. The limitations of playing in VR make any sort of complex or interesting game design basically impossible. VR games have to be dumbed down and confined to a box just to have any semblance of competence or coherency to the average player, meanwhile I can download a $15 2D side-scroller off Steam that still showcases better game design skill and innovation than any VR game.

VR gaming is like 3D television: it's a fad based on a lie told by old fucks in marketing departments who don't play videogames anyways.

VR shows promise but it's at least a decade away from maturity. Right now it's so restrictive, uncomfortable and inconvenient as to cancel out any fun, even after people drop so much $krilla on it. Arguments about it being gimmicky or a toy are absolutely true, but it's obvious special pleading on a video game board. The real problem is it's too cumbersome and expensive to be a good toy. IMO the upcoming Microshaft partner HMDs are the first to potentially be worthwile. Greater resolution and comfort at a much lower price. They also elegantly address the problem of setting up sensors and cable spaghetti.

I work in the VR industry, for a company that was around years before the latest VR craze triggered by Cockulus. VR and AR (the two increasingly merging) have widespread enough "serious" applications that the tech isn't going anywhere. In fact, the industry exploits consumer hardware developments, and cements uses of VR/AR. So the doomsayers miss the point: yes, VR games are overwhelmingly shovelware trash built by bandwagon-jumpers and hobbled by hardware restrictions. No, VR isn't dying- it's a medium with compelling enough benefits in itself (before you account for present restrictions) that's just starting to find some momentum.

As for current cuckstomers, I agree that it's pretty dumb to pay through the nose to be a glorified beta tester. Early adopters in industry can profit immensely. Home user early adopters just find disappointment and a lighter wallet.

It would also be really fucking difficult, and people would be saying "man I wish I had some buttons to make doing these attacks easier."

We can't even THINK of doing any high level VR games like that now or for the next while, and yet retard developers try to shove out overpriced, boring garbage that doesn't work and part of the problem is them trying too hard to make VR controls work even though it fucking sucks and limits potential severely because "oh yeah we can't do this huge laundry list of things due to our shitty control scheme."

you're not controlling a character in VR, you ARE the character.
you can't just press a button to make your arm swing a sword.
I imagine sword fighting would be something like swinging your wagglan controller and damage done is based on how fast you were waggling when the sword impacts the enemy.

>>378348667
I doubt we'll have fully immersive VR until we have to hook ourselves up to some complicated machinery that can restrict movement when necessary (kind of like your pic, but for every limb).

You're just proving my point though. Imagine in a fast-paced action game swinging your giant sword around like crazy; the game would need to be dumbed down and/or not difficult because the alternative would be the game being way too tiring and hard for nearly everybody.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool as fuck, but it would also be hard, and that's where pressing buttons for various actions helps a lot.

I think it's a difference in priorities. A lot of people seem to focus on the low resolution when that's not even the strength of the setup. Yeah it could be better but it's workable and the 360 3D and 'presence' more than makes up for it.

The really annoying thing is people just refuse to give it one chance and want the whole thing razed before it can start. It's going to get better with each generation.
