CrRoMa posted:I used to bitterly say the same thing before buying one. Itd the future of videogames. I don't think the future of VR has much in common with videogames as we know them. VR's strengths (which have mostly yet to be embraced) are diametrically opposed to the structures of classic videogame narrative. So, at best, VR isn't the future of videogames, it's the future of VR...that's currently piggybacking on videogames in a really awkward and unspectacular way. VR and videogames, ideally, are two completely different mediums that are currently being conflated in a haphazard manner because the industry still lacks the proper terminology to critically engage them in meaningful ways. When I put on a VR headset all I can think of is how much fun I'd be having if I were playing screen-framed videogames instead.

I know that when I'm looking for new and fresh ideas in video games I turn to like the 11th entry in the God of War series

Hmm I'm trying to think of the last regular game that made me smile as much as VR has. Rocket League maybe?

*watching Lost* This is so exciting! I'm thrilled and delighted! TV has never been better than this! I wonder if this is what it must have been like to see Nirvana play in concert?

I enjoy VR and 3D on the 3DS. Theyre incredible features with lots of possibilities that people unfairly dismiss

Perhaps being 32 instead of 15 has had an affect on your perception of products primarily targeted to teens and 20 somethings

VR is cool and the future but only because it made motion controls better to use.

lol, motion controls. Remember when the industry was going apeshit for them? But it worked, I'm typing this using my Kinect.

Games that constantly throw loot your way are insufferable and headache inducing. I tried getting into Nioh but there's too many loot based mechanics for me to keep going and every baddy gives you 50 new pieces to sort through. My fault for not doing more research but I feel gyped. Combat's nice though.

Nothing I love more than going through piles of identically named but minimally differently stated items so I can get that edge before repeating the process in the very next area. Videogames are all about menus, right?

Nioh has hands down the worst loot/inventory system I've ever seen. In a vacuum the combat is good, but everything else about that game sucked!!!

I haven't played Nioh but I'm having a hard time believing a worse loot/inventory system than Mass Effect 1 exists. Honorary mention: Every Bethesda game ever.

I get this feeling with most new media. I think it's just a stage of life that you go through at some point in your 30s. The games, movies, music that come out just don't seem as important, because they're not new to you any more. I remember the Spiderman reboot with Toby McGuire, and the X-Men film with Hugh Jackman being pretty huge. I have no loving idea who Spiderman or Wolverine are any more, or what iteration of reboot we're on, but it's probably important to someone who's 25 or under

I've gone back and forth on Maguire, though in the end I think he's a decent fit for the creepy b-movie vibe of that trilogy. No idea what people see in Holland however other than he gels acceptably with the current crop of fascist Marvel ubermenschen.
