"Buy VR today, it's just like a second job!"
---Valve
I'll buy VR stuff in like 5 years or so, when it becomes a lot more commonplace, improved, and cheaper.
>>333280397
>i wish i had money to afford vive :sadface:
>>333280397
I hope there's enough faggots buying this, so devs will start noticing it.
Hopefully then, in a few years, here will be a VR set worth buying, and actual games for it.
But I expect it to fail miserably instead.
>But driving a truck is a job, why would anyone play __ Truck Simulator
-Miserable people
>>333280397
"I've made my conclusions solely based on that game's title!" - anon
Job simulator's about robots in the future trying to reconstruct what jobs looked like when humanity still ruled the earth - with comedic misinterpretations at the core of it.
But fighting in wars and shooting guns is a soldier's job, why would I want to play a videogame where I do someone's job!?!???
>>333281039
Same. People who buy into it now are just wasting money.
>>333282339

Sorry anon, it's not a movie. How does it play? Like papers please? Please faggot.

Are you retard on point?
>>333280397
>$40 for a joke game
wtf
>>333282770
you're right. we need unintelligent people to throw money at new ideas so the non-retarded can buy the better, cheaper, more widely-supported iteration.
>>333282979
It's okay to not have the money to burn on getting the the new stuff you want anon, nobody's going to make fun of you for waiting until you can afford it
I just want a cheap open VR headset I can use for flying sims. I don't want all that motion crap.
>>333282979
Have you gotten a TV yet anon? They keep getting better and better you know.
Are you going to wait another 30 years for the better, cheaper, more widely-supported iteration?
Oh ok anon. Good luck.
>>333282902
Why buy a 980 right now when I can wait 5 years and get one for under a hundred bucks?
>>333283130
it's like buying a sony console on launch day. By the time there are enough games to be worth it, they've already come out with a new version of the system.
>>333280397
>job simulator
wtf?
What they don't tell you is that you are actually working in their virtual office and performing menial tasks for them for free.
>>333283447
>By the time there are enough games to be worth it
If you aren't a poorfag, that's 1 (ONE) game.
And joking aside, that's nowhere near when they are going to release a new system.
>>333282760
Like 4 different paper please like games except 3D and with weird interactions.
Stuff like the office worker level asking you to sort through a filing cabinet and pick out new employees from their CVs.
>>333283447
It's okay, you can save if you want to, but some people just have the money and want to buy the thing now regardless of whether or not you would find it a "sound financial decision"
>>333280397
Those are the lamest launch titles for VR I've seen so far
>>333283516
It is a non NEET thing, I ll show you later. ;)
>>333283909 (You)
>>333281039
Obviously, but hopefully there's enough idiots to buy it now
>>333280397
I got to mess around with the Oculus for a while, plus got the free Gear VR with my S7 and I was impressed by how well VR works as a concept, and it works with my horrible eyesight, with no glasses on (have keratoconus). But I don't see anyone buying them, no matter how well they work if it costs $800 and there's no games to play on it. If the damn thing is going to cost $800, it should come with a bundle of games worth playing, not some garbage shit no one is gonna play for more than 5 minutes. If we start seeing some well-developed and immersive RPGs, I may consider it but I can't imagine this thing is gonna do well right now.
>>333280397

What?

They want to cover all bases of media. Soon, people will sayG has come to,
>>333280397
>second job
World of Warcraft did pretty well doing just that.
Get hyped everyone. Now you get to pay to alpha test the first prototype of consumer vr from another company once more.
Just hustify it saying "its valve"
>>333283424
a 980 will be replaced with better performing cards
virtual reality will be replaced with better performing headsets, at a cheaper cost, due to the market being wider

This moron fucks statement and the other idiots in this thread saying the same thing are trolls right? I'm being trolled right now? If you fuckwits ALL wait for it to be "improved" THEY WILL STOP FUCKING MAKING IT BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BUY IT. STOP BEING A BUTTHURT BITCH BECAUSE YOUR POOR ASS CANT AFFORD IT. I can't fucking afford this shit either but I don't act superior because I'm a broke fuck. You shitlords should thank the people who do buy this crap so that it WILL become cheaper for us in the future. Fuck, rant over. Fuck you.

Lots of devs are developing for VR. Valve is making a game, lots others are. I'm changing emails with a company that is making a VR game right now
>>333289354
t. bootyblasted retard
Plenty of people were aware of 4k displays being overpriced and waited until they became cheaper, and they are cheaper.
>>333289951
There's a difference between something being actually overpriced and useless and something actually having worth anon.
This is not the same. Games such as half life 2 could have been played with the development kit, and even then they were good. The difference between HL2 with and without the Occulus is like night and day.

This is why you have no money, you can't delay your gratification
>>333290849
Seems not being able to delay gratification causes people to become more intelligent.
>>333289354
I've pirated every game I've ever played since 1999 but they keep makin em.
>>333291046
Nah, just makes you too retarded to understand why those smarter then you are waiting

>>333290223
Keep waiting anon. But keep your dumb opinions to yourself.
>>333291550
>thinking those two posts are actually good retorts.
You really are retarded. Comparing a new product like VR to television, something that has been around for a long is idiotic. It would be closer to compare waiting when TV went flat screen, or when we left DVDs behind. In both cases it was smart to wait.
Again, this is why your poor, learn to save and make good decisions.
>paying money

>>333291332
Impossible. Piracy kills video game manufacturers.

This is just sad now.
When I can play an actually good game instead of a bunch of tech demos then maybe.
Like this doesn't make playing shit like Dragon Quest or games I like any more exciting/fun so I think $800 is a bit much.
>>333292809
>Thinking these products aren't new
>thinking what your buying isn't going to go down in price by the time games that are worthwhile are out

I know children who have a better grasp on reality then you. But it's OK, the world needs useful idiots like you.
>>333293191
>Thinking these products aren't new
Look up the Glasstron.
>thinking what your buying isn't going to go down in price by the time games that are worthwhile are out
There are already games that are worthwhile out. You're just too much of a poorfag/casual to give a shit though.
>>333293191
>thinking a few people's, yourself included, opinion is objective fact
Speak for yourself, faggot.
If you think children have a better grasp of reality than me, then you're clearly retarded. But that was never really in question here.

Jesus your a faggot. Going to walk out the virtual boy and powerglove for waggle next? The tech is new, and tell me, what new games are out right now to justify the pricetag.
>If you think children have a better grasp of reality than me, then you're clearly retarded. But that was never really in question here.
My nephew knows the difference between fact and opinion, and the value of waiting for something. So yeah, sorry your salty over being less developed then a child.
>>333296672
>virtual boy
Oh yeah, would you look at that. There's another one you yourself just mentioned, and you still think the tech is new.
How shameful, to quote some silly childrens cartoon after all that. Especially since there, empirically, is no such thing as a fact.
>>333297058

So next post is the "hurr I was only pretending to be retarded" part, right?

We were talking about head mounted displays anon. Somethings not valid because it gets a bad rap? You brought it up yourself you imbecile.

Because a large number of dumb people put a large sum of money in this dead end tech.
>>333280397
I'll see where VR stands in a year or two from now. If I notice that more games are being developed for it I may buy it, but I doubt it will gain traction since poor people.

This is what Valve wasted their time instead of making good games.
That and jewing up their steam policies.
>>333281834
this
I'm more than happy to be an early adopter since I'm a developer but as a consumer? I've used the Vive and there's very little that I want in my VR besides eye tracking-based dynamic resolution and higher resolution panels
The Vive is awesome now, I'll buy it, sell it on eBay a month before the Vive 2 releases, take a $300 hit and buy the new one. Biting the $300 bullet two years down the line for 2 years of VR content is worth it to me
>>333282339
an ironically shit game is still a shit game.
VR is another gimmick that Wii motion controls. Hype exist because people want a esque sword art online
>>333301218
Their policies are about to get even worse. All these Early Access VR games on Early Access VR hardware using Early Access VR assets to make your very own Early Access VR zombie shooter survival game with crafting.
So much ignorance on this board
>VR is another gimmick that Wii motion controls. Hype exist because people want a esque sword art online
The Vive's motion controls combined with room scale is anything but a "gimmick". At least wait until you try it before you call it shit. I have tried it and it's fucking awesome
>>333301481

Those will come this year anon, just don't expect any AAA games made exclusively for VR in the next 5 years. They'll be optional with head tracking VR until then at best

If your spending more than you should on the vive due to it being a big investment then yes you are wasting money, but if your rich and don't care and can afford to spend 800$ while having a high end gaming pc, why the hell not buy it now. Its not like everybody is poor and is selling an arm and a leg to get the money to buy the vive when it releases. Most likely its rich fucks who can afford the price.
