I don't play on PC, I don't use Steam, and I refuse to play on VR.

Also, I already own Myst on PS1.

Whats wrong with VR? @ParanoidObsessive

Im not for or against. Just asking. I havent used modern VR, and as a user of Virtual Boy, I can safely say that I can (or cant) see the pros and cons.

Hah hah, fuck no.

The era Myst came out was probably the only period where I was really willing to play anything on PC, and mostly stuck to adventure games (and Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines because it never got a non-PC release), but I've shunned PC like the plague for at least 15 years now.

I think the last couple PC games I played was Bloodlines, Civ IV, and Diablo 2.

No, the first rule about PO is "You do not talk about PO Club".

Whats wrong with VR?

It's not really one specific thing, as much as it is a lot of little things that add up to me just not being interested.

For me personally, I don't like how most headsets work (or fail to work well) with glasses, and I'm pretty much blind without them. I tend to sweat whenever I wear anything on my face and head (I don't wear hats), so I don't really have motivation to wear headgear at all. As I've gotten older I've had motion sickness issues with some games, and VR is blatant for that.

VR tends to work best if you play in short doses, and you can get serious eyestrain or headaches if you play more than a few hours - and I don't really play games that way (and worse, I rarely play short games at all). VR also tends to go hand-in-hand with motion controls, which pretty much require you to have an open space and a willingness to play that way, and I don't really have either (I pretty much loathe modern motion controls). VR also requires you to put the headset on which monopolizes your sight and hearing, and I'm not really comfortable not being aware of my actual surroundings.

Most games made for VR are are either games that are made for a normal controller and then "adapted" into VR (in which case I'd rather just play them normally), or they're games entirely built around VR and motion controls (in which case I'd rather not play them at all). Which tends to make VR as a whole feel like little more than an unwelcome gimmick for me.

On top of all that, VR like the Oculus is right out because it requires a gaming PC, which I'm obviously not going to ever own if I don't like PC gaming. Even something like PS VR is out because I'm not going to spend $400 on something I see as little more than a gimmick.

I don't begrudge other people who might enjoy VR, but it's definitely not for me.

why

For about a dozen different reasons I'm not going to bother to explain, and which don't really matter because you're never going to argue me into changing my mind anyway.

Just assume that every single criticism you've ever heard about PC gaming is probably one that applies for me.

His peepee is too small to fit in with the Chad PC gamer race

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

More like my peepee is large enough that I don't have to overcompensate by using terms like Chad or PC Master Race unironically.

I still find it amusing that almost none of the people who refer to themselves as PC Master Race realize that Yahtzee made up that term specifically to make fun of people like them.

I think you're vastly overestimating the intelligence of the sort of people who use it unironically.

Or you're ignoring the part where I said the people who use it unironically. Obviously people using it ironically get the joke.
