    I've been looking at getting one. Don't know whether to get the playstation VR or what.

    What games do you play on it and what do you use to play games on it

    i pre ordered so i got 3 full games free...however i bought a few off steam.

    Space Pirate Trainer is unreal,as is Budget cuts (in fact budget cuts actually scared me how real this * is, i actually felt as if i was hiding and running from real killer robots my size)

    Tiltbrush (a paint game) is * unreal man....something which sounds so bland is utterly stunning to visualize.

    I just watched the Game there in my virtual mansion on a 30 ft TV screen,and * came into my world to watch it....creepy as * but mesmerizing.

    I actually dont even want to play PS4 or Pc games anymore...they just dont have this feeling....When in VR you are actually in the game and scares you.

    In budget cuts last night i tried to slit the throat of a robot....i actually jumped over a virtual wall and nearly battered my * head off my home wall LOL

    Gaming just will never be the same now....

    BTW....PS4 VR will fail guaranteed....it just wont run or track as well as the Vive...the other option is the Rift,but they * up with no room tracking.

    Vive fanboy all the way......If you ever get a chance to try it,DO IT,

    Even if you dont believe in this *....

    PC world are doing demos apparently

    ye you need a decent PC mate.....most games are on Steam,but the Vive can run games outwith it..

    I was Playing Project Cars earlier in it with a hack for VR...brilliant

    Other than games, have you done the rollercoaster, safari stuff and city views?

    I like the fact you experience that kind of stuff aswell as play games.

    The Blu was a stunning experience...you where under the ocean with the fish/whales/matarays and stuff...actually felt there.

    In a game called the lab there was photo realistic walkarounds....imagine zooming in on google earth then selecting an area to actually walk around in....being there in 3d.

    Space was amazing....if you remember the scene from Sunshine where they sit and watch Neptune passing the sun.....it just felt so real..

    Its creepy but stunning....you feel heat in the sun,cold in the snow etc....watching 3d movies is unbelievable as well.

    The kick in the stones is... £760

    However as expensive as it is...how often to you upgrade a phone over say 5 years...how much for a 55 inch TV...etc..

    It's expensive but worth every penny...I honesty would have paid double after seeing it

    need to get one of those jackets that responds to bullet fire as well so in "Call Of Duty: Future *" you actually feel like your being shot by a bunch of 12 years olds.

    Just used the HTC Vive in college. First experience with VR and honestly...it's * amazing.

    In the next 5 or 10 years, it could be utterly incredible. In terms of games, I think it suits more fun sort of 30 minute experiences at the moment. I'm not sure how you could play a game with a story as good as The Last of Us in a VR setting. But if someone can achieve that...wow.

    I have a GTX 1070 mate...

    Ive had the Vive nearly a year now and its still as amazing as the first day i played it.....weans are always playing it as much as me tbh......

    Stand out games are :
    Onwards
    PAVLOV (counterstrike type game)
    Assetto Corsa
    Elite Dangerous
    Table tennis
    Pool VR


    The horror games are * scary as * tbh.....I dont get scared at all with movies however the minute you plug this Vive into a horror game you * * your pants...i aint kidding either....you really feel there in the game and its such a different feeling from a horror movie.

    Still best purchase i ever made tho....expensive but worth it 100 times over.



    Tried PSVR..was good tbh.....but no were near the vive imo...roomscale games and freedon of movement is real VR
