So how many people have jumped on the VR train so far?

I showed my whole family some Oculus Rift games during Thanksgiving and it was the most hillarious thing watching my Mom and Dad get lost in VR. My Dad was doing a dance like a little kid and my Mom almost hit my Dad in the face while playing Racket NX hahah. Then I showed my brother Pavlov VR (basically Counter-Strike in VR) and he was so blown away he said it was WAY better than playing Red Dead Redemption 2.

That said, there are a few other friends I've shown VR to who weren't as impressed, but those people are super lame hahah just kidding--it depends though if you're willing to dive into it and let yourself be immersed and not care how you look while playing it. Also there are down sides: It requires patience to setup (especially room-scale) and the hardware/software can be frustratingly buggy at times. BUT if you're willing to put up with those caveats VR is life changing—literally. Like, I never exercised before but now I get good workouts in VR to the point I'm drenched in sweat and feel like my heart is going to give out when playing games like Knockout League.

For those who say VR doesn't have any worthwhile games, I would highly highly disagree with you. Here are some to checkout:

• Pavlov VR - Counter-Strike in VR might not be the most revolutionary idea, but this is one of the best VR experiences you can have. SUPER FUN.
• Holodance - Think DDR is VR but way way more fun. I haven't played Beat Saber yet, but IMO this would be a tough one for Beat Saber to beat
• Racket Nx - I hit the walls and I hurt my back playing this from swinging too hard. Really fun 360 racketball-esque game
• Racket Fury - IMO best ping pong simulator, it's amazing how good the physics in this game are
• Fallout 4 VR / Skyrim VR - You'll need a good rig to play, but if you have one, goodbye life. Unofficially supports mods too.
• Sprint Vector - Really inventive racing game, swing your arms to glide the tracks/obstacle courses. Same dev as Knockout League
• Knockout League - Great arcade-style boxing game, really good cardio workout
• Tales of Glory - Think Mount and Blade in VR. There's a free demo on Steam
• The Relentless - Uses the actual size of your room then creates laser fields, mines, moving targets. Endless mode is awesome.
• Superhot VR - Surprisingly feels like doing yoga because you're always trying to hold these matrix like poses as you dodge bullets and think of your next move.

Hope that helps some of you who are on the fence about VR. If you have any questions, msg me and I'll be happy to provide more suggestions :)

thanks a lot for GA!

Not me. VR headsets give me headaches. Like the 3D glasses do.

Too expensive for me, though I did get to try a Rift once. Unfortunately for me, it have me really bad motion sickness so it prolly won't ever be something I'm into. I am pretty curious to see where vr gaming goes though :)

While VR is pretty cool, I think imma let this train pass right by me. For now at least.

Sadly according to Oculus support, the 3D effect will not work with someone that has double vision and a crossed eye (technically a lazy eye too, they're not the same but whatever). Prism lenses in the glasses fix the double vision AND my crossed eye "most of the time", but if my eyes are tired or strained then my crossed eye will wander (It's due to a muscle placed in the wrong spot on the eye, not because I was hit with a shovel). Since Oculus tracks your eye movement both the double vision and crossed eye would render just about every game unplayable until technology has advanced enough to where it will continue to track my vision/eyes even when they move out of the would be/should be track.

TL:DR Want one, can't have one, /wrists

Not me, now or never.

I actually find the idea pretty dumb... I mean, you have to STAND UP to play games? That's against nature!
Plus my eyes are already pretty worn out the way they are XD

I played Euro Truck Simulator with Oculus Rift a few years ago (a kickstarter dev edition) and loved it. Would love to play all driving, flying and space sims in VR. I don't have the pc rig to properly support VR, but i'm planning to upgrade sometime next year.

Has anyone used this before: https://riftcat.com/vridge ?

Great time to buy a Rift right now. It's on sale for $349:

It's interesting, for like 20 minutes. I have no desire to purchase or try it again after using it.
Tried it at a friends house. Headset gets sweaty and the lenses fog up a bit.
Need a decent size space set up just for this, for motion sensors and moving your arms around.

We'll need brain interfacing before VR really takes off - IE plug in and lay down, moving/jumping/talking in a game with your thoughts.

I'd really like to get a Vive, I was actually hoping it was going to go on sale for Black Friday / Cyber Monday but no such luck. I've tried a few games and really enjoyed them. I do realize the tech is still in its infancy, but I still want to get involved now as it gets better and better.

I own an Oculus Go, which doesn't fit into the poll. I like it, but I think that higher resolution is needed.

I voted Vive, rather than Other, as I ordered a Vive Pro + wireless on Cyber Monday. Still waiting for it, as the wireless adapter is on pre-order.

Since I spend almost the entire day on my butt at a desk, and consequently suffer back pain, I'm hopeful this will get me off it and moving around - I've gone for Room-scale or Standing games (e.g. BoxVR, Beat Saber). Also I get to laugh at the rest of the family waving their arms about.

I have a mobile cheap one, still works

I grabbed a Rift DK2 a while back for like £100 after trying PSVR at work and being sold on the concept. Just waiting on having enough spare cash now to get a better gpu and upgrade to a retail unit/Vive.

Aside from the the resolution/screen door effect being not as good the only downside I've seen recently is that the Oculus motion controls don't work with. Given that I pretty much only play rFactor2, Assetto Corsa and Project CARS 2 in VR this isn't really a problem. I would like to jump on Superhot VR, Pavlov VR and Arizona Sunshine at some point though.

As an aside, does anyone use VORPX or something similar? A few older games I'm wanting to try but not sure if it's worth paying for to find out it isn't very good or whatever.

I first tried VR at an arcade and liked it. Then, as an experiment, I bought one of those plastic holders where you put your phone and, while performance was terrible due to my mid-range phone, I still liked VR as a concept. This persuaded me to buy a Rift this summer. I don't regret the purchase and would recommend it.

With that said, I think people need to temper their expectations. Many expected VR to be this game-changing phenomenon. It is not. The first generation of any new technology rarely is. VR probably won't replace regular gaming any time soon, but, if you don't suffer from VR sickness, can be a very nice addition to it.

I've been gaming for 20 years and have grown jaded by the lack of ambition and new ideas by AAA publishers. VR fills that void for me, it's new and fresh, developers are still experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. And I like it, kinda reminds me of gaming in the 90s.

Unless it's SAO level VR. No! I'll wait

I would love to have a VR headset, but right now they're too expensive for me to be able to justify getting one, and my phone is too small for one of those solutions that uses your smartphone for VR (I intentionally got a small smartphone, as I find it more comfortable to put in my pocket).

IMO, adventure/point & click games and VR are a match made in heaven. When are they going to start making those? I guess the current market and target audience do not make it too profitable for devs, but god I hope that changes in the near future.

By the way, if anyone wants a recommendation, I Expect You to Die, although short, was extremely fun.
