I thought that till I tried it. The experience is impressive, not at all like the gimmicky 3D TV.

  My skepticism mostly comes from reflecting on how I'm currently experiencing video games most of the time: together with a friend, sitting on the couch in front of the TV in the living room. This is a social setting: when we play a game together, we don't just look at the screen, we talk to each, look at each other, get up and get a drink from the kitchen, etc. And most often, we spend a few hours doing exactly that. I know that not everyone shares my feeling, but somehow I have troubles imagining doing the same with VR headsets on. I don't really want to be completely removed from this social setting, completely emerged in the VR environment -- I want both, plus the ability to switch between them quickly. Don't get me wrong, I think VR is a super cool technology. My point is that I just don't think it plays well with the social setting of a bunch of buddies hanging out together.
