I gotta try that out. There are so many non-official games I wanna try out. GTA V will be tried out first

do you imagine VR replacing screens any time soon?
how do you feel about gaming on a screen after using VR?

I don't see it replacing screens (at least not in the next 5 years). The resolution is just too low and you can't game for hours, moving your next around, using your arms, wearing a headset that gets heavy after a while, etc., like you can on a traditional screen.

But I will say this, I have no desire to play TV screen or PC monitor games right now. I've been all VR for a week now. I'm blown away right now with the tech. I'm even playing games that would suck in 2D, but are surprisingly fun in VR, just cuz they're in VR.

VR is game changing, but we're still in the early stages. I say in 2 or 3 generations it will be the norm.

If you got $600-800 laying around, buy the Rift or Vive ASAP. shyt is mindblowing. I know I was kinda disappointed in the beginning with my Vive, but now I'm very impressed. I get it now. It takes a week or two to adjust to VR (cuz it's so different), but once you do, it's game over; you're hooked.

shyt is just

I just got through a Rift session with Windlands (great VR game BTW), and I looked in the mirror. I got an outline of the VR headset on my face

There are so many more games for the Vive than the Rift. I just bought Astral Domine. shyt looks pretty cool.

I got 58 Vive games now

Tomorrow will be a Vive and Battleborn day

Astro Domine (a Vive game) made me physically sick

The control scheme is terrible, but the graphics are nice. I almost fell down a ton of times playing the game. I guess I'm not as acclimated to VR as I thought

Man...reading this shyt makes me wanna run out and cop either of these. ...but I ain't got no worthy computer to use this shyt...

fukk it, Christmas 2017 if I ain't get around to it this Christmas or atleast by the end of Summer.

I just checked, and I bought 85% of the Rift game available

The Rift needs more games. The fact that "The Climb" is number 1 speaks volumes. That game sucks.

I can't wait for the Insomniac exclusive though

The Rift really needs a nose piece guard though. I can see out the bottom of my Rift. With the Vive, it's total immersion; no open spots whatsoever. I still like my Rift better than my Vive (because the game are better), but they could do with some more games, especially if modders are gonna keep making Rift game compatible with the Vive

Shed be thoroughly impressed with me were I to cop a vive. Should I blow $700 on non-guaranteed affection?

Money is no object. I see they are still taking orders at their website.

I was born a simp. It feels so good tho, but I know it's bad for me.
