Someone tell me whether i should buy ps vr or not..thanks

I bought it - was initially impressed with it - and then sold it about 3 months later

As Ijjy mentioned - The Kitchen demo was a brilliant technical example of what it could do - but it ended up being so effective I was terrified to pick up Resident Evil 7 and try it!

TBH, the major downside with the whole thing was the sheer amount of wires and cables needed to get it working - They really need to release a wireless version of it to maximise it's potential
 
Years ago, before most of us had smartphones, I got sent a desktop link to a balloon-bursting game where each level had a declining number of multi-coloured balloons floating inside a rectangle, rebounding appropriately but slowing down.
IIRC you got just one ping of a ball to fire in what you felt the best direction would be.
Very addictive, especially as it was backed by some trippy music.
But can I find it now? No.
Anyone point me in the right balloon-bursting direction?
 
Stupid question time.

Is a game from one website different to another or will it be identical?

Asking because I bought the witcher 3 through steam and it didn't work, wouldn't launch or at least crash immediately after launching as detailed a couple pages back.

If I bought the game through gog instead, would it have a better chance of working or would it still produce the same result?
 

re: PS vr
Its okay. The technology isn't quite there yet to make it good enough visually and affordable. May be Ps VR 2 is the one to look out for.
Personally, I had really terrible motion sickness after just a couple of minutes of Resident Evil. I couldn't use it.
I'm also slightly long-sighted, not enough for glasses, but enough that the close screens were really difficult to see and adjust since you can't adjust per eye.
Another thing with PS vr is the screens are noticeably low res and seeing the individual pixels is quite immersion breaking.

I think VR is definitely on the rise and could become much more mainstream, but it still needs a bit more work. Will also be down to games supporting it. VR chat seems popular, though.
 
In its current state VR is only really good for things like racing and flight sims, basically games where you have a fixed position.

VR won’t hit mainstream for probably a decade or longer, the tech is still very raw with awful image quality and overall is nowhere near polished enough for the general public. Ten years or so and we will hopefully have a reasonably polished technology.

Or origin for that matter

I bought Witcher 3 gold edition on Xbox live. Has worked great! Was about £28 I think..

It really depends on what sort of game - as you say, games where you would normally walk or move usually end up in a feeling of nausea, but for (at least using Rift on a PC) the sitting-down games like Elite, IL2 and the rest it is genuinely amazing.
 
I do play it more than anything at the moment. I think its an excellent online game.



Sounds like you want a one on one death match.

HAH! If I were to play it, it would be on PC, which already gives me an advantage over you console players. But saying that, I am awful at multiplayer FPS games, as I discovered long ago (when BF3 was released) that my younger-self skills have not stood the test of time.

I was the don at fps, back in the Soldier of Fortune days, long before the crap COD games. Black hawk down online was boss too...
