Bold of you to say that on lemmy with all the nerds, def a hot take here. Of course if you ask any group of normal people they would all agree VR is an absolute waste of money with no value whatsoever. Watch as when the new Steam Frame releases it'll be around $1,500 and you'll hear nothing but positive things here.
I haven't bought VR but man I was so excited for the Steam Frame. I desperately want to play Half Life Alyx.
Same here, though I fully expect to need to buy several bottles of dramamine
It supports teleportation movement (where you point at a place and you're transported there instantly), which is way better on the 'ol inner ear.
I mean there's some reason to be excited but also every reason to believe it'll be deeply expensive
Yeah it's not going to be cheap, but I don't really care? A cheap one would suck.
It's not for everybody. Specifically I never recommend it.
To be fair it does have a ton of extra costs for hardware features not everyone is going to use, I mean they have a standalone processor but most people are just going to use their PC.
