>We live in a world of multitasking and infinite options for our attention. You could argue that getting away from all that is a good thing, but in between matches of Valkyrie or while waiting for a game to load, I wished I could easily send a text, check twitter, browse the web. I can’t do that. And I can’t watch a video while I’m playing a game, or reference a guide. Until more VR games truly make use of the medium’s potential, putting on a VR headset will always start with this question: is this experience worth being completely focused on this one single activity? Is it worth the weight on my face and neck?
for fucks sake, these people are the reason why every fucking thing has twitter and facebook.
>>332923965
Holy shit, what a time we live in. Fucking first world issues. I don't do any of this shit while I wait to join a game or during loading anyway. No wonder everyone is so uptight and fucked

Is this from the actual review? Does everyone have ADHD these days?
>watch a video
>while I'm playing a game
What the fuck is this? Why are journalists so fucking retarded.
>>332923965
At first I thought that was ok since its what I usually do on steam.
But shit man, just put on the radio or something, listen to music.
>>332923965
I alt+tab out to read things or flip through music tracks while waiting for multiplayer matches all the time. Watching a video while playing the game is a bit weird though.
>>332923965
please tell me it's a joke
is reviewer really argumenting against VR with lack of fucking alttab to browser capabilities? does he think VR is replacement for standard monitor? how can single person be so fucking retarded?
Vive confirmed for best VR. Get hyped.

Just wait, develop some patience in life.
I was reading some philosophy article the other day that was talking about how teenagers don't 'walk' anymore, they have to listen to music or make the journey as short as possible by driving because having a second to entertain themselves leaves them bored.
It's so depressing.
Hate to say I told you so but I totally told you so. Honestly I think that mediocre score is still somewhat inflated because of the VR hype.
But at least you can watch Snoop Dogg watch youtube in 360 so I guess that's worth $2000!
>>332927930
>30 second load screen
i haven't encountered >30s loading screen since gothic 3 release, and it was somewhere around beginning of core 2 duo era. But even if i did, i'd just wait - 30 seconds doesn't sound bad at all. Hell, it's better to wait and process some parts of story/experience in your head than break everything and start checking social networks.
>>3329293581985here, I used to walk as far as 6 miles a day when I was a teenager, my mother used to "what the fuck" me all the times I got back from school on foot since "waiting for bus was too fucking boring" because school was in downtown and I was in the outskirts of the city.
I could do it music-free but I was always carrying the classic cd player whenever I had the chance to.
Now I only ride a bike around the town, I literally only walked once over the past four years because bike chain broke off and I went to find a spare replacement.
But yeah, walking in silence is probably the most boring outdoors thing in the universe bar none.
>>332929706
Yeah try playing Fallout 4 loaded onto anything but an SSD and then teleport around and tell me "waiting 30 seconds isn't so bad!"
Fuck you, and fuck that shit. Thank God I was able to make room on my SSD or that would've been an unplayable mess
Call me a normie all you want, but am I the only one who doesn't hate the real life enough to really think vr is my only hope? I don't give a damn because I wasn't looking forward to it.
>>332929892
I played fo4 on hdd. I haven't played too much since game is fucking terrible, but i don't remember any issues with loading times. Maybe you had some bad version or something?
hdd was Spinpoint F3, i guess it was pretty fast when it came out, but now it's nothing to be proud of.

No jackass, i'm referring to all these people that use the word waifu that were thinking this is the second coming of Christ.
What can this so called "journalist" compare to VR?
Nothing. It's a new paradigm. His rating is made up fakery.
>>332929856
How? Walking and contemplating on life is the best thing to do.
>>332930148
>Thinking the PSVR is going to be any better
>>332929856
Then you just aren't thinking enough - no-one's arguing that walking hours a day wont get tedious, but you need about an hour to think things over, get lost in thoughts etc. My walk to work and then back from the gym are great times to go over things.
I imagine teenagers now probably couldnt even visit an art gallery without facebooking throughout.

Sorry but that guy's post is fire.
>>332929358
I'm not a teenager but i walk all the time and i did too when i was a teenager. I also listen to music while i walk because i enjoy the combination of both. It also eliminates the annoying sounds of the city and the vain conversations of people when you take the public transport.
>>332930424
When you're walking in nature or are in other towns countries, etc, yes.
But the road you take everyday to go to school or to work? Fuck no.
>>332930664
its a shame. realy
but its not THE generation.
my father he is 60smthing cant entertain himself at all
he dont like being alone at all. if it happens he watchs tv or use tablet i bought him.
and on the other hand i dont need much to entertain my self.
let it be book or long walk, pencil with paper or broken microscope. its interesting to listen and watch and trying to find new things. its very rewarding.
>>332931234
And that's why you're spending your time on 4chan.
>>332929856
You might think I'm crazy, but sometimes I'll replay anime episodes in my head while I'm out joggging.
>>332928782
Oh fuck this is so cool. I never cared for these racing or shooting range sims but this thing changed my mind. In particular that drifting in open space while sitting at your desktop thing.
I will wait a couple of years until the VR tech gets cheaper and more polished though.
Of course, /v/ listens to IGN when it suits their needs.
>All these poorfags who can't afford VR.

>>332929856
See, I'm one of those weird people that pace around my house. Even though there is no reason to do so. It gives you space to look outside and see the world in a way that makes you look in on yourself.Sometimes I get real depressed though...

This is what made me decide I want a RIFT or Vive. But Im going to await the inevitable price drop.
>>332932438
no, that's /x/
>>332932887
If you get really really drunk it wipes the depression away. It's like a reboot for your brain!
>>332926385
That's pretty ridiculous and I have a second monitor. And usually when I'm playing a game. I rarely alt-tab out. Unless it is specifically a multiplayer game, because that's waiting for a bunch of fuckwads to connect to you. Of course I'll put background music for that, but in a single-player game? Really?
>>332923965
>is this experience worth being completely focused on this one single activity?
Dayum, I feel like such an old guy.
>>332933096
Well, getting drunk will fix all those worries away, but the problem comes afterwards. When you realize you could potentially get Liver cancer... And then pace around and contemplate the death of your life.
>>332932151
For $700 I'd really like something in the solid B+/A- range.
>>332923575

I've never got the whole listening to music while working out.
I play some music instruments, I do some jogging regularly, I never do both at the same time, I guess people truly love music, more than people that play it and do some small stuff!

So, now that VR is official dealt with and in the past what's the next gimmick? Or maybe we will see another iteration of VR in a decade again.
>>332923575
So basically all Sony has to do to win the VR race is make their device work on PC as well out-of-the-box? It's already the cheapest one out of the bunch so they have a leg up there.
>people actually thought VR would change "gaming".
Its literally motion controls and a TV glued to your face, another stupid gimmick.
The objective best way to play a game is with a controller/mouse+keyboard and a normal screen.
Nothing will change unless there is a more optimal way to work or play.
>>332933235
I'm fucking 21 and I feel awful that so many people feel like this. And funnily enough I was diagnosed with ADHD, but after high school most of that anti-patience feeling went away. I guess I just grew up? Because I could listen to albums without doing too many things at once to keep interest. Same with fucking movies. Nothing gets in my nerves more then people who I hang out with puts more attention to their phones/relationships over my time and the movies time. It's infuriating when that happens.
>>332933646
>grumpy old men don't like something
IT'S DEAD!
>"I require constant focused feedback from anything and everything I ever spend even a single penny upon to feel a product is meeting my expectations. Otherwise it should facilitate another product to entertain the same expectation in it's absence without fail. Any failing to meet my expectations cannot be the result of setting the bar unreasonably high, it can only be the result of poor design."

I once made a mistake of listening to eurobeat in my car and almost died. Since then I cycle and walk everywhere.
The only way VR can work is if it completely hijacks your senses. Being able to see 360 degrees like your eyes are in another world but your other senses are still in the real world can be disorienting and breaks the immersion.
>>332933708
It's just logical. Why focus on building one relationship when you have many relationships to maintain?
>They fell for the VR meme
>>332933708
>Nothing gets in my nerves more then people who I hang out with puts more attention to their phones/relationships over my time and the movies time.
They check what you're posting on the facebooks and twitters when they are with their bfs and other friends. It's retarded.
>>332933697
It can, but not in its current form. Something like omnidirectional treadmill and VR goggles + input method would work wonders and would be the next step to holograms. All of this shit are just prototypes.
>>332933732
It was actually quite hilarious them forcefully trying to come up with something positive about VR and it's launch lineup of games, especially when Palmer was on the line with them.
>oh look when you throw the tennis ball up in the air it kinda looks 3D, that's... neat...
Just let the early adopters beta test this shit then buy it in a few years when there is actual content and better hardware
So this is what it's like to witness how people get old and out of touch with technology. Congratulations /v/, you're like my dad that still uses a flip phone and can't send text messages.
>>332933971
... someone has to take the first step, faggot.
>>332933839
>I once made a mistake of listening to eurobeat in my car and almost died.
>>332933798
Uhh. So like something around $1000? No thanks. I'll just stick to playing games one generation behind and handhelds
>>332934084
And I'll be there once it's done.
>>332933971
But how will that shit be objectively better?
You can get tired from running on a treadmill or by just standing up whereas to walk in a game you press a single button and it will come out much faster, its much easier and faster to move your finger from the S key to the W key than it is to start running in the other direction.
Flicking your wrist with raw input and everything is also more accurate and faster than relying on motion sensors and cameras to turn around and aim a gun.
It will never be better.
My idea of the most optimal way to work and play is for things to react to your mind and its gonna be hundreds if not thousands of years for that to work accurately.
>>332933939
It's logical, but inhuman to me. It's like you have a friend that deliberately doesn't pay attention to you or the film. And what happens is that they are interacting with other people over the internet. To me that is fucking rude. I put my time aside to hang out with you for a few hours and instead you are talking to your pals/gals online instead of talking in person. That is bullshit.
>>332933969
Yeah, I hate that shit. For example, I only have one single friend of mine that actually would do album listen alongs with me. You know how fucking rare it is to find someone that is patient enough to listen to music and shut up with someone else? The only time we talk during music is if we have anything to say about the lyrics and that's it. And then after that we think of what we think what the track conveys and how technically good it is.
It is a blast to talk to people in person about movies, music, audiobooks, and videos. It is not as fun when someone just links me an album or video and say, "This is dank!".
>>332933732
They all actually liked it, other than Drew.
>>332923965
And why every modern game is a skinnerbox
Nah not even that, because the skinnybox punishes you when you get something wrong, in modern games you're constantly rewarded for doing nothing at all
>Expensive as shit
You know people keep saying this but when you compare it to other monitors with new or specialty features it's really not.
>>332934819
>smaller FOV than the DK2
>they liked it

>>332936281

Why would they need to do that. It'll already sell at least 5x more units than Oculus and Vive combined

>anon: Wow she's trapped in the car with me things are going so well.
>her: Wow this guy is such a fucking creep. I want this date to be over. I'm going to text my girlfriend and have her pick me up after after the movie. Better take a selfie just in case this weirdo kidnaps me.
>>332928782
This is a huge gimmick, but goddamn I want to experience it so much
>>332923965
I find it hard to believe that most people don't alt tab during loading screens or when waiting for something to happen in a game.
I alt tab a lot when playing videogames, unless it has sanic loading screens. But even then i usually have something playing on my second monitor, or i'm talking or at least listening to people in teamspeak and/or sometimes talking in steam chat.

anyone interested in pc gaming probably already has a computer. you can just upgrade your graphics card if needed. even if you need to upgrade the cpu too, you still have ram/case/storage etc that won't need to be immediately upgraded. yeah building your first ever computer is a steep investment but the point is that you can make individual upgrades. you can use your computer for far more than just video games, too.

1995 little shit here. Car was in the shop the other day. Walked a mile to Speedeay, grabbed some food, walked back to the shop and stopped at EZ Pawn on the way. Being that I'm the type of person who loves to hold imaginary conversations and envision scenarios in my head, shit was so cash because unlike driving I only have to pay attention to my surroundings, not myself. Thus making it easier. Being fat offset that though and I'll only walk for exercise or necessity.
