How much of a difference does it make wearing glasses? I'm shortsighted, not badly but enough to have to wear glasses, and considering finally getting one of these. £259 in Argos and I've got a voucher too and I think I've finally been persuaded by the general enthusiasm in this thread.

I would definitely say get one - that and Wipeout and you will feel your purchase is justified. Use my method aswell of comparing the staying in on a Friday night playing it to the cost of a night at the boozer and away you go

Played Farpoint for the first time last night. I thought the opening was great - the sense of place was stunning. Then running around the planet with the wind and the dust swirls etc. was really well realised - then the problems started. I walked up to a beacon thing and let go of the stick completely, coming to a complete standstill and almost falling over (in my living room).
After that my brain seemed to know something was amiss and the jig was up: the VR induced motion sickness started to build up and within minutes I had to quit in a cold sweat that didn't subside for 15 minutes or so.
Didn't even try comfort settings I was already very queasy and had to run off to bed, sharpish.Last edited by gunrock; 08-04-2018, 15:46.

I'm fine with it now though; running around like a loon with no problem at all. My brain has just accepted it.
Got to my first boss and it's MAAAASSSSIVEE!!!

With a PS4 and NS back in the collection I'm consoled out until next gen hits. I'm definitely unshaken from my view that VR is this gens Kinect, they're just so... so far from getting it where it needs to be and even then it'll never be the de facto way of gaming.
But, as we get towards the end of life for the generation it'll definitely be something I'd want to have to try out more fully as it carries a solid risk of seeing its content lost to its generation in a similar way to many Wii titles are for that system. It needs to come down further though, even with the recent price drop it feels like you're still looking at circa £300+ to cover the peripherals most likely to be needed before anything else which is just insane.
Looking at the software though, to create a sort of hit list so when the time comes I can get straight to the meat of the visor these look like the ones most interesting of the existing and upcoming titles:
Any obvious guff there?Batman: Arkham VR Bound Here They Lie Rez: Infinite Until Dawn: Rush of Blood Trackmania Turbo Rogue One: X-Wing Mission Psychonauts in the Rhombus Ruin Farpoint Star Trek: Bridge Crew Arizona Sunshine Superhot VR Obduction Radial-G PSVR Demo 2 Chernobyl VR Gran Turismo Sport The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR Doom VFR Justice League VR Experience The Inpatient Moss Golem Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality Wipeout Omega Collection Zone of the Enders 2: Second Runner

I just had a do for the first time about an hour ago.
The initial "****ing hell!!1" novelty began to wear off after around 10 minutes. I'm going to need at least ten full fat games if I'm going to blow €750 on Pro, Move, and headset. That said it's amazing how smoothly things run on the base hardware.
The most fun part was standing up in my DriveClub car. It felt like I was skating with it.
