I think it loses a few points on the “best game ever” scale for making you rent an apartment with a spare empty room to dance around in while wearing an expensive helmet.
Yeh. VR is extremely cool and extremely inaccessible. Back when i was more techno-utopian I was really hoping the cost would come down drastically so more people could experience it. It really is a completely transformative media, something really, truly new. But the expense and logistics of it means it’ll likely never realize it’s potential.
I wish i could play it… i even have the fancy vr thing but i have 0 space in this house to actually use it beyond anything where i can just sit or stand at my desk
just get one for cheap off of ebay and cram all your shit into the corners of the tiny storeroom you sleep in like I had to, it doesn’t take that much room to play the game at minimum
A friend gave me his old VR set and after smacking my hand into my ceiling fan several times and falling onto my bed I packed that shit up and put it away.
It really blows me away the amount of empty space the techbros think regular people have in their homes.
Between the amount of space required and the amount of people who can’t even put on a headset without experiencing vertigo it’s very silly to me how much capital must of been spent developing these things vs how impractical they are.
I played the whole game all the way through in an 8x6’ space, I really think you’re making it out to be worse than it is
Anyway it’s a shame you couldn’t enjoy it, it truly was the most amazing game I’ve played in a very long time, there was a specific part like halfway through that had me wide-eyed with awe
HL3 was released, it’s called Half Life Alyx and it’s the most mind-blowing game I’ve played since the PS1 came out

You have some good spatial awareness. I played in a big space and still ran into walls. I think it’s personal preference, honestly.
