Virtual reality.
Now don't get me wrong, the games ecosystem is still quite limited, but I think Half-Life: Alyx really showed what kind of phenomenal experiences the technology can provide when given a huge budget. If it ever becomes economically viable then there's going to be a ton more experiences like this on the market one day.
Against all odds, these super expensive bulky headsets with only a few games has shipped millions of units to early adopters. Even if it all fails, I'm happy to have been a part of it.

- Der_Einzige 6y agoSounds like you need more exercise...
- k__ 6y agoProbably. I do exercise, though. Cardio and weights, multiple times a week. But somehow I think games should be more chill.
- cartoonfoxes 6y agoIt's worth it as-is if you're into flight sims. I don't mind the bulky headsets, it helps me larp as a fighter pilot.
- hgs3 6y agoI was hyped for a new Half-Life game for the past ~13 years. Half-Life: Alyx delivered. Granted, it was my first VR experience so that definitely contributed to my enjoyment.
