I haven't used my Rift in months simply because there is nothing to do with it.

This shit is brand new, why wouldn't you wait a few years

>he actually bought a rift

It doesn't look like its going anywhere anyway.

they just shit out one garbage game after another but at the core the games are fucking shit.

other stuff like Virtual Desktop is alright but it just isn't practical in day to day use.

yea but at least I didn't fell for the VR moition controllers, what a fucking shit this is (for only 180€)

Hahaha yes I bought a Vive on day one and only used it once. Waste of money :^)

Just force yourself to eat ginger root user. Only 5 bucks worth of ginger root a day and you can enjoy that face monitor

I'll probably buy a used Vive or a new one if the next gen model lowers the price.

There are a couple games that actually look pretty fun, but I'm not going to sink $800 into a gimmick.

I can afford it but its a waste of money regardless.
There is really no reason to invest into dead technology.

The idea and concept are somewhat interesting but once you have that shit the magic is gone and you realise you only got shit that collects dust.

it really is just a gimmick and not even a usefull one.
the technology is still too limited to produce any worthwhile results.

>tell everyone VR is a stupid gimmick and will end up like 3D
>"NO IT'S AMAZING, YOU JUST NEVER TRIED IT"
>"VR IS THE FUTURE, JUST WAIT FOR IT"
>vr cucks now have a 800$ paperweight that reminds them how stupid they are

I feel like everything worked out well in the end.

the average gamer spends maybe $300 on their video game platform at best, that isnt going to get them 90fps next gen AAA tier games rendered on multiple screens when they can hardly even do 1080p 30fps

the only "problem" is a lack of enthusiasm/cheap hardware/people being fucking retarded

you're a fucking dumbass and you should be ashamed of yourself

you will be in the future, for shitting on the very people who helped the industry start off

ive been dumb enough to fall for the Wii U meme but im not dumb enough to fall for this

well the problem is how limited the use of it is.
the only games that really profit from VR are Simulators, and usually not even they are really playable with it since the resolution and pixel density is just too fucking low.

the other games are trash like Job simulator and other games that look no better than shit for your average 5yo smartphone.

nobody wants to strap some shitty screen to their face. try it a few times and you notice what a fucking chore it is.

It's funny that VR is only really good for cockpit simulation, something only a handful games use, yet these companies and even the shills are so desperate to get people to use it for everything else.

>You're dumb for not wasting your money!
>You'll see! In 2083, when VR actually fucking takes off, we'll have the last laugh!

>It's funny that VR is only really good for cockpit simulation
you can't even read the stuff in the cockpit in DCS or FSX.
VR technology just isn't good enough for it.

I have an old devkit oculus, VR headsets are fuckin dogshit for videogames. The actual VR part is top notch though i mostly use my oculus for garden simulators and shit. If you fell for the vr games meme you are dull

>got a free VR headset after buying a new phone for Christmas
>only used it maybe 3 times just to try and look up porn

Meh. At least it was free.

Maybe in 10-15 years when they manage to give this shit a higher resolution.

its actually dogshit for anything.

VR has been used as amusement park rides at at least one disney attraction for like the past two decades

And when the first movie screens were invented, everyone was vomiting from motion sickness

Now we stare at screens all day

i dont care enough about vidya right now to buy a headset now, im just telling you how it is

>only used it maybe 3 times just to try and look up porn

you can't really do anything else with those shitty phone headsets

its still something that nobody wants at home and that offers nothing new besides "now you can look around".

"yea wait I just put on my Oculus rift and then check out google earth to see where X is"

seriously, who the fuck needs it?

>it's a "retards who never used a modern VR headset talk about VR" thread

>buying first gen anything

My biggest gripe is how the headset is so heavy and uncomfortable. I don't want to wear that constricting thing on my head when I play games; I just want to look at a screen.

You sound butthurt, can you not afford one? Waste $8£0 expecting it to make cod revolutionary? Because tuscan garden simulator is pretty fucking comfy in mid december.

Isn't the Oculus Rift CV a VR headset?

because I have one and its shit.

>It's another 'lie about buying VR to complain about it' thread.

Maybe it's because I waited until I got the controllers but VR has been great fun I couldn't have on a flatscreen and regular keyboard and mouse.

I mainly wanted it for my Simulators like FSX, DCS and other stuff.
But even for those tasks its just not advanced enough.

Sure I can afford it but I kinda hoped it would be good enough for what I had planned.

welp, its shit.

yea this, at least I can say "well I was so smart and funded and funded this shit when it was first gen". yea fucking cool right?

baka

The devkits were the 'first gen'

do I really have to timestamp it?

>buy vr headset
>it's actually pretty good. has lots of potential if only it werent so prohibitively expensive
>devs are out of touch with what consumers want. release nothing but kinect-tier garbage that nobody will play.
it had a lot of potential if the manufacturers didn't make them so expensive and the game developers didn't make garbage.

who needs video games either?

I cant see VR eventually not being the best way to play certain genres of games like racing cars or piloting and fighting in aircraft or spacecraft

i mean when you play a racing game, you cant see shit really unless you're in third person for a higher field of view, but then you cant really accurately judge the dips and hills on the road and remain in complete control because the road looks much more flat from a higher perspective

>"expensive"
>technology is lagging behind several years

low pixel density and low resolution forbid to make anything worthwhile for VR.

in itself the thing is fucking shit until these problems are gone.

How do you eat ginger root.

the current VR technology is unable to provide for any genre.

also forgot to mention
>there is no industry standard
>each headset has it's own retarded control scheme, they are all terrible.
>almost all vr games are exclusive to one system.

Fuck if I know. Some desperate faggot was "enlightening" people to the fact that if you ingest some raw ginger root you won't be nauseous for a couple hours of using VR.

>>devs are out of touch with what consumers want. release nothing but kinect-tier garbage that nobody will play.

thats not how the economy works buddy

devs arent out of touch, gamers are, there is no demand for VR games because next to no one has the hardware that can run good ones, because gamers are a bunch of poorfag cheap idiots/kids who are terrified of the idea of building a gaming computer, the only thing capable of running a proper VR game right now

I'm nauseous but not for VR reasons, my health is apprently not top notch, so that's why i was initially interested. That being said spending 599$ only to have to find "alternate" solutions like dramamine or ginger roots is fucking pathetic. It's a clear indicator that the tech is clearly no mature enough.

You just peel off the skin, and take a small bite. Or, better yet, boil it to make tea.

Ginger actually helps with stomachaches, so it kind of makes sense. I think the nausea I personally get from VR is beyond its help, though.

what would be a proper VR game for the current level of VR technology?
Like I already said multiple times in this thread

the fucking Pixel density is shit
the resoultion is shit

any game will look like shit in it.

>buys a glorified 3D monitor (Rift) instead of a VR set (Vive)
>complains about VR

i would have bought one for racing games if it didnt mean i would also have to go buy a racing wheel and stuff, because and all the racing wheels on amazon kinda have shit ratings compared to the old ones, every single one seemed to have one problem or another, and my desk is glass so i have nothing to mount it to

i dont know how you dont think VR would be great for a setup like that unless you think the "screen door effect" is completely unbearable, which is really nothing but a matter of processing power anyway, which will be solved soon as technology gets more powerful and cheaper, and we can eventually have 2k or 4k VR headsets

>buy a PSVR
>it's fun

It's even convenient for non VR games too. I can unplug it from the TV like the Wii U and play it anywhere, you can set the size and position of the virtual screen when you play games or watch movies, and if I'm feeling particularly lazy, I can position the virtual screen above my head and just lay in bed and play in a resting position.

>and we can eventually have 2k or 4k VR headsets
and thats the point, until then you literally can't use this shit for anything.

>the fucking Pixel density is shit
>the resoultion is shit

that has nothing to do with the limitations of VR, it will be solved as GPUs get more powerful and cheaper

you're stupid

please tell me how buying a new graphics card will make the screen in my Oculus rift have higher resolution and higher pixel density?

yea right, it doesn't work that way. we have to wait another 20 years until they build a VR headset that actually CAN profit from a better graphics card.

so that means we should make fun of the people who have enough money or are bored enough to help facilitate the industry to reach that point sooner than later, and discourage anyone from buying into it and helping the industry grow to a point where its actually really cool and "normies" like us will care?

the fuck is wrong with you people?

let people who like VR fund it, let the industry grow, sorry if you're a stupid faggot who thought the next call of duty game was going to be in VR, but you shouldnt take your anger over your own stupidity out on others

because you are part of an economy, and until consumers have the hardware that shows that there is a potential demand for a certain product, it will not exist

you people

are stupid

nah the technology is shit and even if they manage to fix the technological problems, the problem that only indie garbage comes for it will remain.

>sell shitty product
>people see how shitty it is because no games and shit technology
>"hmm that will sure create demand for more VR headsets"

Dude pls

>get msi pc for christmas
>parents install rift software
>uninstall

try actually reading my post

"the techonology" is not some existential thing that isnt effected by consumers and their lack of enthusiasm

The same way you eat a carrot . boil and mash it for an oriental treat.

SLOW AND STEADY

see

VR is a toy for the patricians at the moment. Thumper, Rez, and Zen Pinball have warranted the purchase alone for me. I immensely look forward to future music/rythme games in VR. Also Horror games are ten fold better in VR.

Good VR games wont exist until after VR hardware is created and are bought in a sufficient enough quantity by consumers for it to be a profitable endeavor for businesses

You people dont understand how the economy works at all, jesus christ

Joypad VR is pretty neat for the viewpoint but the motion controls really make the difference. You can't have anything better than picking up things, hitting buttons and aiming guns with your own hands.

Just a shame things like job Simulator make it look so 'tech demo' and short. 'I expect you to die' is miles better and actually challenging.

and all those games are just braindead waggle shit.
who the fuck wants to move his hands when playing videogames anyway

All 3 of those games can be played without VR...

Shit. Just realized. Thumper, especially Thumper. And I can go to the laundry and play pinball for a dollar. Who do I sue?

Which will basically never happen

>Good VR games don't exist because nobody has VR
>Nobody has VR because good games don't exist

The companies were too stupid to see the niche market it is, similar to Joysticks, sim wheels.

is.Sup Forums.org/v/1484078922102.png

Define 'braindead waggle shit'. If you mean doing gestures to execute pre-animation actions like the wiimote, then you're wrong and an idiot.

VR motion controls are actual interaction. Unless you're some chronically lazy shit who can't even get out of bed, it's pretty cool.

What's your point, exactly? That games have to be 'practical'? You play them in VR because it looks and feels better in 360 3D.

fuck off, EVERYONE is calling 2016 the "year of VR", no reason 2017 shouldnt be even better

>I immensely look forward to future music/rythme games in VR.
t. Braindead fucking retard.

Pinball in VR is pretty good though, if it wasn't 800 fucking bucks and only supported a couple of tables with weak physics, I'd say it's pretty comparable to actually buying your own table.

>people paying 800+tax to play pinball in 3D
>people paying 800+tax to throw rocks in 3D
>people paying 800+tax to press left and right (thumper) in 3D

This is a good joke

>>devs are out of touch with what consumers want. release nothing but kinect-tier garbage that nobody will play.

They are basically just scared of motion sickness and are going out of their way to make ''''games'''' that don't require walking. Check out Onward though, it's an Insurgency-style shooter with slow locomotion and apparently it works just fine.

you didnt buy VR but just wanna make a contentious thread

That's pretty much what it is right now. People playing a grand to get "monitor-less" track ir, or to play gimmick mini games that cost 30 dollars for an hour of entertainment

What's the cheapest best one for porn?

cardboard

>you shouldnt buy VR because im not buying VR because no one will buy VR so it will never happen

Yeah, you're a fucking loser who should fuck off and find something to do with his life instead of trying to discourage an industry from taking off only because you're either too poor and stupid and salty to want to even see it happen or are mad AAA VR games didnt immediately start coming out after you bought one, like a dumbass

lol

>Y-you're just mad and poor!

Kek

VR has a future where you would not care about it - medicine, engineering, planning, etc.

When the VR will be useful enough to make waifus real?

In college I've been given an assignment to make a mobile VR game using that google cardboard thing. When testing out my first build, I couldn't help but think of how much of a meme it was, and how stupid I looked in front of people.

Playing VR is like cross dressing.

You sound like a cuck. Just sayin'.

Peripherals just don't work.

>3d tvs dead
>3d cinema forced upon us, is shit

I'd rather sit inside a spherical monitor than wearing stupid glasses/headsets.

WRONG

vr fags absolutely BTFO

>inb4 "you bought the wrong one!" or "You were just enjoying it wrong!"

You forgot

>You set it up wrong clearly

thank god i didn't

>"You were just enjoying it wrong!"
Thats what always comes from them, then they show you a hundred different apps for this piece of shit which all are "fun" for like 5 minutes max and at some point you notice you have been scammed with this shit.

>UR puckin suclcs!
>no.on.20n7

Your Handwriting is shit

I'm left handed and didn't put any effort into destroying this homo who makes up shit.

VR fucking sucks.

>Rift
There's the problem.

Knew it

see >It's like pottery

you're a dumbass, seriously you should be fucking ashamed of yourself faggot, you are a fucking piece of shit

i didnt even buy a VR headset because i dont give that much of a shit about vidya

kill yourself

Calling it doesn't make it less true.

>Left handed

I'm so sorry

>Y-you're stupid! Meanie! I hate you! Die!

the Vive is literally the same fucking shit.
I tested it last Gamescom.

pic related, took that pic before it was my turn to throw back virtual discs with some shitty motion controller that sucks major ass.
