Should I get a Vive?

[Cyberspirit]

Hey, I've been thinking about getting one for a long time but, I'm not sure if I should go for it or not.

Do you guys think that VR is worth getting into? Is the experience worth the cost?

 

Also, is it comfortable to wear with glasses on?

i personally dont see any games that i would truly enjoy playing enough to justify a 300-400$ cost.

 

I wear glasses and contact lenses, depending on my mood, using a vive without glasses is definitely going to be more comfortable, i have tried one with glasses and i got a lot of light bleed from the bottom of the headset due to how far the headset needed to be to not crush the glasses into my eyes, however i did not have enough time with it to "tweak" the FIT to try to adjust it and make it fit better.

 

Its definitely fun, but for me, A) i dont have the space to really use it properly at the moment, and B) there are very few games i have found out there that really justify the cost for myself.

 

Im also not one to shy away from impulse buying cool tech, so the fact i havent bought one yet, tells me something about it.

 

Thanks

Yeah, impulse buying is definitely one of my many flaws.  It's hard to resist.

I would wait until the Vive 2.

Isn't the Vive Pro supposed to be the Vive 2? If not then I'd assume the actual Vive Pro would cost even more than a Pro and I wouldn't want to spend that kind of money.

I don't think so. I see the Vive Pro as a way to milk money out of the people that already bought into the platform; that's why it doesn't come with controllers or base stations.

Oh, right I forgot that it didn't even have those. Well, I guess I'll try and wait a bit more and see if anything new pops up.

Owning a oculus and got it for some time now, first i tryed it much then I left it for a while since you really have to take time for a game/matches.

Addicted to Onward VR at the moment trying to be a bit competitive with it too.

 

Personally it was a easy choice for me, the Rift their controllers are really good.

Vive's controller just seem horrible and take out some feeling of the experience.

 

I wear glasses and contacts both do fine for me.

 

Personally its a bit hard to say if it's worth your money, depends how hooked you will be to it.
