People haven't tried it, and hate the idea of buying a peripheral for content.

The thing with VR, is that it ensures a lot of VR exclusive content if it succeeds. Imagine being a PC gamer only to be told you have to buy a console to plug into your computer to play a new game. That's what VR is to some people.

Fortunately, VR does seem to be picking up and making 360 degree content is rather easy and cheap.

Cons:
>Will drag humanity into a Brave New World/Fahrenheit 451-like dystopia where we live in permanent addiction to our virtual fantasy world, under the direct control of our masters in the upper echelons of society

Pros:
>Realistic anime waifus

Pretty fair trade off

Hmm let's see

Into the trash

Because it's for retards

Because we're not fucking idiots that fall for insane viral marketing ploys to buy fucking garbage technology.

You know, viral marketing like this very thread.

Fuck off, viral marketing scum. Your circlejerks about VR won't change the minds of people with common sense.

>>53254552
They're the same people who want Shillery for president.

>>53254871
no, obviously you're just a poor neet because you think it's frivolous garbage. There's nothing better I can do with my money than waste it on video games. I am a grown ass adult.

Never forget: VR is a viral marketed lie and bad technology.

I can agree with viral lies, but I honestly really enjoyed my experience with it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

People think it's just a gimmick and don't see that virtual reality is a step away from augmented reality

AR IS THE FUCKING FUTURE
>>
>>53254552
Probably femitards knowing they'll become obsolete as soon as vr porn becomes mainstream
>>
I want VR to succeed, but we need more standardization.
Mainly, I want oculus to fail, because they want a future where each VR headset has it's own set of exclusives, which is awful., possibly even between different headsets of the same company.

OSVR is a lot more similar to standard PC hardware, and pc gaming, one thing that abstracts the hardware differences.

That's what needs to succeed.

Also, I want my 4k screens, for interface + videos.
Scale game content down.
I don't care about screen 60+ FPS, haven't gotten nauseas on anything running at a solid 60 fps yet, especially not videos.
>>
Poorfags who won't be able to afford it are butthurt
>>
VR will destroy society and humanity as it improves
It is however the beginning of the waifu age
>>
>>53254714
we deserve it at this stage
>>
>>53254586
But normal porn?
Nah that's ALL right. :^)
>>
>>53254552
sour grapes because they can't afford it.
for the record I'm not interested in VR at all so I don't care either way.
>>
because it's shitty gimmick
>>
>>53258852
we don't have to create more though.
If there was a way I could stop regular porn, I would.

I don't know if there are people out there who want VR to fail, but I'm on the side that thinks VR will fail/stay a niche.
There's just no killer app/no good use for it except demos and enthusiasts.
Especially considering the price for proper VR on desktop (800$ Headset + 1000$ PC). I have a phone VR set which made me see a bit of what's possible, yet again, no killer apps.
Slight grain of salt with motion sickness, too.
>>
>>53258860
But if it succeeded the price would go down

If it doesn't directly send sensory signals into your nervous system, VR is just a shitty gimmick, desu senpai.
>>
>>53254552
because the hype annoys the shit out of me and I just want you blogging gamertard faggots to entertain me with a nice shit flinging war or shut the fuck up and go back to >>>/v/

I know right? I can't get mad at it because it reminds me of a jolly snowman!

Daily reminder that VR is just a passing fad, and the early adopters look like fucking idiots.
>>
>>53254552
Because Clover has /g/ as the standard board, which means /v/ kiddies with their "OMG LE EBIN BLUNDER LE TORTANIC Xddd" mentalities are gonna be dumped here in droves.
>>
>>53259030
Which is the logic equivilant to someone in the 1850s saying, "pfft, combustion engine? If it's not hover cars then it's a shitty gimmick"

Every technological advancement has to start somewhere and VR is the first step to a holodeck.
>>
I could understand if people had legitimate criticisms of the platform, but a lot of people are just /v/tards looking for the next "Tortantic." You should see threads on /v/, they legitimately want vr to fail regardless and everyone involved to lose money. I have no idea how someone can live with that type of mindset.
