Universe Sandbox 2 in VR. Never again! That game in VR when you scale everything up to full size gives you such a horrible sense of unease and anxiety. I turned around and behind me was a full scale planet Earth and it scared me, I swear I lost two years of my life span playing that game.
But I also played Space Pirate trainer and that game is the most fun I've had on a game for a good while, shooting robots and dodging incoming slow motion lasers by actually crouching and weaving around them is a pretty badass feeling.
I was kind of sceptical at first but the more different games I try the more I'm becoming convinced now that VR IS the future of gaming. I mean it's the now of gaming really it's just way too expensive for mass appeal to anyone who isn't just a tech head who wants it because it's a new thing. But like seeing Glados from Portal in VR as a full scale head hanging from the ceiling and takes up your entire field of view... VR adds a real first person perspective of how large in game objects actually are and that's what really is the game changer. Yeah moving around in a 3D space is cool but it's the sense of size of everything you get when you're actually IN a game that really changes everything.
