So whilst the Vive Pro is £200 off this weekend, I'm just not sure I can justify it really. There just isn't enough content to justify a £1,000 purchase.
The main VR titles I'd be interested in are Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, Doom and Skyrim and 3 of those are in VR on PS4 where I already have a PSVR. Sure the PC versions will be higher visual quality, and I assume that the VR versions of Fallout 4 and Skyrim have mods on PC, but that's still not enough to justify dropping a grand.

If you can't justify the cost, you can't justify the cost. Simple as that. Don't fall into the sale trap of buying stuff just because it's hugely discounted; that's still a ludicrous amount of money for what you're getting, especially if you're not that interested in what PC exclusive VR games there are (and if you are, there are way cheaper PC VR options than the Vive Pro).

Thast price is absolutely strawberry floating absurd, especially when most of the kit is the same as the regular Vive but just a different colour. Yes it's got v2 lighthouses, but does that really matter? All you're getting is a slight screen res increase.

Would you consider the standard Vive? You'll be getting 99% of the same experience for a huge amount less. I paid £700 For mine I think and don't regret it for a second, it think its available for about £500 now.

I am waiting on Valve releasing nuckles (and possible their new headset) before I plunge in.

The knuckles will be fantastic, and no doubt they'll be around the £300 mark too :dread:

They will be a definite purchase from me though.

I think the lack of any real big titles for it exclusive to PC is one of the big things holding me back. Elite Dangerous and Fallout 4 VR are the only PC exclusive VR titles I can think of really, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them come to PSVR at some point.

It starts off simply enough to ease you in, but it's beginning to ramp up and it's got some cool variables that appear. I stopped last night when I reached a couple of tracks where the direction arrows (Which show which way to cut) disappear after a second or so.

It's great fun. They've already said their going to release additional tracks as DLC so I'm looking forward to that and I've not even done a quarter of the ones that come with it yet. :lol:

PC version has custom tracks though, which would be even better. Might double dip when I eventually get a PC VR setup.

So I was looking forward to Borderlands 2 VR, but I'm getting a bit hesitant after hearing it doesn't include any of the DLC. Move controls only allow teleporting (Though DS4 has normal movement) and it's single player only....

I'll wait for the reviews I think.

I caved today and bout it. What a fantastic game it is although it gets hard real fast.

I mean the disappearing arrows with high combos and challenges to need to complete to progress :shock:

Very cool though, love how you can speed up the tracks. Expert just out of my reach though, stuck on hard

You do feel like a bad ass when you pull off haed bits. Hard speeded up is the best I can currently do. Extreame is just to cray cray

I'm going to be so strawberry floated when I come to the hard missions as I won't move on unless I can get no mistakes :fp:



That took me just under 40 minutes to do with 0 mistakes :lol:

Didn't help that after an hour and a half of playing my arms were slightly tired at 1:30 in the morning.

I'm not too worried about getting a perfect run (I scraped through the first two disappearing arrow ones with the minimum combo requirement), but I have started to hit some that require a minimum score. I can finish the level, but my cuts aren't precise enough, or I'm getting a few too many misses and losing my multiplier.

My arms are still sore from the other night as well actually. Great fun though.

Really great fun, my "quick 10 minute blast before bed cause I'm shattered" turned in to 2 hours when I took the headset off.
