Well, it doesn't only have to be "only in VR" mechanics, it also has to be a really really fun game compared to almost all the other games you could at the moment purchase and play on your normal PC with a normal monitor and no extra $1000 investment in hardware..
I've tested VR sporadically ever since the first Oculus Rift came out, and I just get a headache after 15 minutes and that kind of has ruined it for me forever I guess as I now associate VR with motion sickness, bad ergonomics etc. That's very personal of course, I know there are others who can run around in VR fine for a whole day without these reactions.
Anyway... the game has to be outrageously good for me at least to use a VR version instead of just sitting on my chair staring on the screen with a cup of tea next to me.
- thinkmassive 3y agoWeird to say the barrier to entry is “an extra $1000” when the headline is exactly half that, which is similar to the cost of a console or decent GPU. Edit: and the Quest 2 will be reduced to $300 in a couple days from now
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt was $300 before Facebook raised its price. Completely worth it. I will buy the Quest 3 as soon as it is released, but just for my stack of fitness games that are in my daily routine.

But just do it slowly and don't keep going the moment you get even a hint of sickness. Soon you'll be running aroudn with no issue.
- chaostheory 3y ago> I just get a headache after 15 minutes That usually means your IPD isn’t setup properly on your headset. It’s more common on HTC headsets or any others that have really fresnel lenses
