VR sucks.. just like I said 5 years ago. I had a buddy buy me a PS version because he wanted me to play some shooter with him he said was tactical (forget the name) and it was absolutely terrible... The idea is cool and all but it is STILL many years from being an enjoyable experience for me. Crap games, crap technology, and sub par tracking and functionality, not to mention headaches, sweating, and lens fog.
Maybe it's just ps vr that sucks.. I mean it would be cool to play a game that interests me and doesn't blow... honestly it feels like all the games are on the same level as shovelware for the Wii. That's just me though. Maybe the new Medal of Honor game they are working on could change my mind... doubtful, but maybe. That said, it pisses me off they aren't just making a new MoH for consoles and chose that route instead.
So you played some mediocre title and think you're an expert now? What a joke. Why don't you actually play some good games instead of pretending that the entire library is somehow exactly the same as this one shooter you played.
If the games were so crap, they wouldn't be winning GOTY awards. Astro Bot was better received than almost all the 2018 games released.
No... I played many games on it including Astro Bot which was also crap in my opinion... and since they all suck (to me), something has to win... it's not like something isn't going to win.. lol. Even if you have nothing but rotten apples one has to win if they are competing against each other. The only game I played that was even half way decent was the VR portion of Ace Combat, but it didn't even have full functionality and you couldn't even play online... so what's the point? Either go all in or don't go in at all.
Like I've said many times, I feel that there are some good ideas, but they just don't have the technology yet to back it. I personally feel that with where we are RIGHT NOW that it just isn't ready. I mean it's cool some people like the gimmick, horrible detection, horrible frame rate, nauseating jitter and stutter, horrible collision issues, inconsistent play, and all that good stuff... I don't. Once they get some things ironed out and find a better technology in which to actually view the material without being heavy, hot, and clunky I'll give it another try. As it is right now though with 47 cables, inconsistent frame rates and usability. I just don't feel as though it's a good experience for any "on the fence"... sure it's great for the die hards that are blown away by the idea, but simply meh or not ready yet for those that aren't easily impressed or aren't all that interested by the idea.
Don't get me wrong, the tech behind it is impressive... I just don't feel with where we are RIGHT NOW that it is ready for mainstream. Once they can deliver VR without a ton of cables, being heavy and bulky, causing you to sweat and fog up the screen, and they actually give you a true 360 degree experience I'll wait it out. I did hear about some new VR that gives you no wires... can't remember what it was, but that sounds cool. I feel like VR is in the Model T stages and still has a long way to go to give a good experience.
However, I'm happy you like it and that it found a market for people just like you, that's great for you guys. for me however it's a joke, and it isn't even a funny one. I feel the games are incomplete, short on features, short in length, and very shallow (which is why I compared them to Wii games ((and not good ones either)). To each their own though. I mean obviously someone likes it... and it probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
I look forward to forward progress, but it has a LONG way to go before they ever see another penny from me.
Oh and by the way, I never claimed to be an expert... whatever the hell that is even supposed to mean.. lol. How can you be an expert of VR? It's not like it's a single game or anything. That would be like someone saying they are a master of PS4 or Xbox without details. You hook up the 56 cables, calibrate it, and put it on your head... lol. Masterfully at that. :P
