Posted October 21, 2016 http://www.strawpoll.me/11471761 I just want to see want people think. Everyone seems to disagree. Personally, I disagree, I think it is just getting started. Plus there are applications outside of gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 21, 2016 It's not "dead", it's just out of reach for most people due to the price of the headsets, then there's next to no real "game" for it other than technical demos and the cost of a new PC required for it is just too much as well. Overall, it's not getting much traction because it's expensive as fuck and there's no games that would make people break their bank accounts for it. Until the headsets are cheaper and is feasible on a single GPU PC, it won't really take off.

Posted October 21, 2016 I think VR is a pile of shit for serious gaming. It's a cool novelty and what not, but it's really not what I want out of my gaming experience. 4K // R5 3600 // RTX2080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 21, 2016 VR will be the ways of motion controls once the newness wears off. Currently focusing on my video game collection. It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 21, 2016 I still see no real reason to buy it tbh. Maybe a nice thing to play around with but nothing i would ever consider and especially not at the current price points.
