A friend of mine just got one and this seems like the goddamn future we should all be going crazy over but no one seems to care much

    The problems are the price of entry is generally too high for good VR (you need both a PC/PS4 and a headset), Facebook is mucking shit up with Oculus, and exclusivity deals are a headache. I don't see things seriously taking off for a while as it needs to get significantly less expensive. Like until its low enough that Nintendo can ship a VR headset for less than $400, I just don't see it becoming super mainstream.

    AR games though? That shits got potential. I think we'll be seeing the next Pokemon Go size hit soon.

      I dunno, looking at the new quest it looks like it has what it takes. I the facebook thing is weird but after it dies down, I think most people don't really care about whatever possible facebook privacy trouble could happen between two divisions of the same company.

      The new quest is hitting that pricepoint and it looks like it works better than any of the old stuff.

        Also I'm pretty sure they cracked the quest 2 already to bypass the facebook shit.
