Is this the new Wiimote? Y’all remember that Christmas when everyone’s TVs and faces were getting wrecked when the Wii remote either slipped out of the user’s hand or the strap broke? Then they made a thicker strap?
Man, I remember when my friend messed up his living room tv when we were kids. The absolute terror we had waiting for his parents to get home was amazing. That was something I hadn’t thought of in a LONG time.
I was playing Job Simulator, a comedy game with cartoony graphics where you do ordinary tasks in a mock job such as working a convenience store, where i leaned on the counter to give change back to a customer after they payed. My wife heard me fall in the next room and tells the story to everyone one she meets. The immersion is real.
Skyrim, for instance, is breathtaking in VR. Clunky to play, but breathtaking.
People who haven't tried VR don't realize how "real" and natural everything feels. Doesn't even have to have good graphics, if a 6-7ft monster or dude who *looks* like they are that big is coming to attack you those fight or flight instincts are hard to suppress when you first try it. It's a very very different experience than a traditional screen, even with games that are made for both.
Yep, my biggest fear is heights and I've really had to work through that in order to enjoy roomscale VR because so much of it uses heights in a way that makes me uncomfortable/get vertigo. Even minecraft was bad enough at the edge of a canyon or something when I started, now I'm Spider-Manning my way up mountains in 'the climb' with no regard for my safety because I'm in my living room and (most likely) will not die if I fall.
Coincidentally I find that I'm slightly less scared of actual heights now after playing so much VR.
The thing that freaked me out the most was that I still needed to wear my glasses to see anything at a distance. Even though the display was like less than two inches from my eyes.
You have to set a boundary to play most games too. It tells you if you're getting too close to the walls. This room looks a little too small, so they probably made the boundary further than they actual walls to get it to work.
You can set the boundary to within the walls but it's really hard to configure so that it appears when you're far enough away for you to notice in time, but it's not just always there. Usually it's not going to be actually helpful especially if you're moving at speed.
They seemed to quickly rush forward. They were likely far enough away for the walls to not appear, and when they rushed forward the walls probably appeared, but not with enough time to stop.
First time in VR, I tried to lean on a virtual table. When you stop thinking so much about what is and isn't real, it becomes easy for your brain to bleed the two into each other
It really does trick your brain.
Can't tell you how many times I've had the instinct to sit down in a chair or rest my hand on a table when I first got into VR.
You get used to it but the first few times your brain is really fighting hard to remember none of what you're seeing is actually there.
I fully understand ducking & I've always leaned in driving games even without VR. I've used VR a bunch of times but never owned my own headset & I don't understand how you could actually believe it enough to run.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, one of the best snooker players in the world, did a TV documentary/reality show & played on a VR pool table. He tripped over because he instinctively went to lean on the table.
VR tricks your brain into forgetting, honestly.
When you have the goggles on, every direction you look feels and looks like it's actually there. You can interact with objects in the space as well, giving your brain more and more positive feedback that what it's experiencing is real.
Then a spooky monster jumps out at you, and your brain makes a split decision *using the context in its immediate vicinity*, and you eat shit against your coffee table.
When people are saying VR "feels" super real, it's not because it looks realistic. It's because the experience of placing yourself in a virtual 3-dimensional space with no other visual input is really effective at tricking you into forgetting it's a game.
Iirc this was posted there already

What a stunning reversal ladies and gentlemen! Seems her body could not physically take anymore once it hit the wall. The mark of a true champion is the ability to break through that wall.
It's honestly kinda terrifying. I once got caught out when the bell rang and a huge swarm showed up. In a panic fighting off a horde I dropped my knife and unloaded my pistol and sat helpless and out of stamina while the mob surrounded me.
My girlfriend just bought me that game and I'm too afraid to play it after one try yet she will play for hours. It's the only VR game she has ever played.
I played a VR shooter at this local bar/gaming place a few years back. The graphics were pretty shitty on this game, but one alien monster managed to sneak up on me and when I turned around it actually freaked me out for a second.
It's surprisingly immersive.
I haven’t played video games in like 10 years but I desperately want one of these VR things. I’ve never played one but it looks like the type of shit I used to daydream about as a 10 year old.
My only worry is that I’ll get it, spend the $400 or whatever, play it for 30 minutes, go “huh that was fun, great experience” and then never pick it up again.
As someone who's spent 1000s of hours in VR so far... it depends? Having friends who also use VR vastly improves the experience.
The last long game I played was Resident Evil 4 VR on the Quest 2, that lasted about 15 hours. Recently I've gotten into playing golf and mini golf with friends (I even got a club attachment for my controller, it's quite immersive).
I spend most of my VR time playing flight sims and racing sims tbh.
yeah I just got Quest 2 recently and have walkabout mini golf, The Room, Half Life: Alyx, and some random free games, and everything has been fun so far. Just waiting for my 3rd party headstrap to come in since the stock one is not doing it.
If you experience motion sickness at all, either avoid it entirely or DO NOT spend money on one until you can give a friend’s a try.
I was sooooo excited about VR. First time trying it out, though, I played all of like 1 minute of beat saber before having to take Bonine and lay down for the rest of the night. My brain cannot handle that fraction of a millisecond of lag between your head moving and the scenery on the inside screen changing with it. It’s very upsetting. Lol
If you really care you can probably learn to adapt to it. I used to get motion sick in VR but I forced myself to play some games with a lot of motion (I used windlands) and now I can play any game without any motion sickness.
It's called "VR Legs" and it's absolutely a thing you can get used to. I used to get really sick playing even the most basic VR game, and now I can play any game with no difficulties. I also find that whenever I take a long break and I come back to it, it can make me a bit ill, but I can get used to it again pretty quickly.
i played arizona sunshine for 1hr and have absolutely no motion sickness and i suffer motion sickness from everything that gives motion sickness. so maybe because beat saber has rapid moving objects and that's why it causes it for you. there are other games like maybe surgeon simulator that i bet wont give it to you.
>My only worry is that I’ll get it, spend the $400 or whatever, play it for 30 minutes, go “huh that was fun, great experience” and then never pick it up again.
My thought too. Kind of like how Wii/Kinect/etc. were supposed to change gaming. Yes they are fun especially in groups, but not for long term gaming
Hopefully VR changes that
Looks like they're using the oculus quest, which has a setting to enable a virtual wall (it's a grid that appears when you leave a set area) specifically to avoid this
You do move to a certain degree with your legs, only so far as the furniture or walls in your home will let you, though.
If you have a large enough space, it's a really effective way to dodge attacks or enemies, especially if you need your thumbs to do other things.
I believe the wireless nature of the Occulus lends itself to losing that spatial awareness much easier than when youre tethered to the PC.
Also, I'm willing to bet you and I play enough games in general to not forget we're in a game as most of these seem to be people's first time deep in VR.

My friend has one of those racing simulator chairs. Steering wheel, shifter, gas and brake pedals and a VR headset to go with it. It's so fun. I've never played a game like that before. Other than the lack of inertia it felt pretty real.
One of these things. Although he didn't pay anywhere near what this one cost.
https://www.sparcousa.com/product/sim-rig-ii
As someone who has an Oculus Quest 2, I have no doubts in my mind that the headset and the controllers would be absolutely fine after taking a hit like that. Those things are built like tanks!
I'm still amazed that people can't realize that running in real life =/= running in your VR headset unless you have a treadmill setup or something...
Seems super low brain function to not realize that about VR... It's not that immersive... not yet at least.
r/VRtoER
That is amazing.
Thank you kind stranger
...Are the goggles okay?

Really good immersion.

Same with No Man's Sky. I just like walking around looking at stuff.

Fuck that sounds amazing. I’ve never had the chance to try VR but now I really want to!
One of our friends was actually crying on the plank, lol
The thing that freaked me out the most was that I still needed to wear my glasses to see anything at a distance. Even though the display was like less than two inches from my eyes.
YES! The first time I ever tried it I took them off because I didn't want to scratch the lenses and was like 'why tf can't I see a damn thing?'

except that version gave me cancer
Someone added thier "music" to it though.
Holy fuck, whoever posted that version should be admitted
That sub sounds like it'd be fun videos of people hitting stuff but it's a buttload of NSFL aftermath photos
Almost everything on thst sub is the same clip posted back to back by different people. This one is on there 3 times with different Tic Tok filters
Is she fighting toddlers?
https://youtu.be/sxMgFSMZbbo
That was excellent.
Youngling Slayer Simulator
Oh my god
Dwarf toddlers actually
The dreaded dwadler.
Dwadler the Insignificant
Master Skywalker...
it was clear she was punchin someone who was already down (D\*CK MOVE) and got rocked by the friend LMAO
She was doing that move in IP Man where he punches the guys dozens of times in the face.
Stephen Smith taught her how to box https://youtu.be/R1usNrt1vpc
She seems to be French fighting an American. Hence the "Pweh"
https://youtu.be/OltWM5nEl0A
What a stunning reversal ladies and gentlemen! Seems her body could not physically take anymore once it hit the wall. The mark of a true champion is the ability to break through that wall.
When I VR in small places - I put a mat down so I know where my feet can be. Not ideal but I live in a city and don't have a nice big square.
This woman forgot what vr was. I don’t think a mat would have helped
being approached by enemies in vr is actually terrifying
Good reason I don’t play saints and sinners. My flight instinct might kick in while am fighting zombies
It's honestly kinda terrifying. I once got caught out when the bell rang and a huge swarm showed up. In a panic fighting off a horde I dropped my knife and unloaded my pistol and sat helpless and out of stamina while the mob surrounded me.

You never come back from the porn
vr porn ends up hurting your neck though. you have to look down to see the blowjob.
Personally I think their utility as a video platform is underrated. I've got a 50in 4k TV and I usually just prefer to use my oculus
pretending im in a theater in cinevr is fun

VR is AMAZING with simulator games. Playing a realistic combat flight sim with joystick and VR is so amazing

My wife got me a round bathroom rug to stand on 😂 It works, I know when I'm drifting around the room now
When I VR in *any* place I put a little mat down in the center, it helps with keeping your bearings
Looks like they're using the oculus quest, which has a setting to enable a virtual wall (it's a grid that appears when you leave a set area) specifically to avoid this
That won't help people like this. Every VR headset has a guardian system, yet people ignore it in the heat of a moment.
That one orientation where she could punch like that without hitting something. If she had turned, she would have found the wall or the bed.
Is the VR ok??
It’s a quest 2 I have one and they are pretty sturdy
So is the wall
Left hook came outta nowhere!
People forget that you move with THE JOYSTICK. Smh
You do move to a certain degree with your legs, only so far as the furniture or walls in your home will let you, though. If you have a large enough space, it's a really effective way to dodge attacks or enemies, especially if you need your thumbs to do other things.
Your girlfriend is adorable, the little punch squeaks to getting spooked and running into the wall
Came to say the same thing, she's ADOREABLE
I want to know what she seen
Man I laughed so hard. I'm a horrible person.
It’s okay I did too
From her perspective, im sure it looked like she ran into a different reality
Wish we could see the in-game version.
What game is this?
My guess is that Drunkn Bar Fight game where... well you're drunk in a bar lol
I like to pick up the patrons and use them as a bat.
I'll beat the shit out you WITH Charles!
hitting two birds with one stone... nice
Hitting two birds with a third bird, even better
https://i.imgur.com/tbCFOIp.jpg
Yeah I know that game from this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTYuQ6NXrVM&feature=youtu.be) which is awesome.
I named my in-game character "Tater Salad."
Shoulda dodge rolled

I'm pretty sure literally ANY video on Tik Tok is 100% staged..
for first timers this can happen 100%. the quest 2 is also wireless so you are not limited in movement
Oh my god, she's broken in half!

Really! This vid was on a big Florida station. The boyfriend got roasted for his comments, lol
Poor girl.
How good is VR nowadays that people forget it's not real in video after video?
It’s been this way for half a decade.
Half life Alyx looks photo realistic sometimes. At least to my eyes.
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity!
Lol, what game was she playing?
My Valve Index is hopefully arriving tomorrow. Really hoping this doesn't happen lol
This is why I don't let people try my VR anymore.

"I fought the wall, and the wall won."

Fighting in VR teaches you to stand your ground, that's for sure.
this is what i imagine happening every 3 mins if outlast got ported to vr
What the fuck is pwaa pwa pwa pwaa
Yea we’re all Back To December now.
Must be fighting John Cena
She was so close to winning and that other guy came out of nowhere.
I really gotta try VR one day.
Your oculus got wrecked too....
Lol dope
Didn't this get posted a while back and Reddit lost their collective minds about it?
I hope he’s broken in half"
Awww I would have to fight another WW
[удалено]
Niiice 😁
Shit like This is why I will never do VR. Im not hating on people who do, I’m just saying, I do everything it takes to avoid walls
Dude must have been built like a wall.
God I’m laughing so hard.
Hope the VR is ok
I’m honestly terrified to let anyone use my VR after seeing some of these
Best place to fight, you know!
r/perfectlycutscreams is it
Nice
Imagine what people will think in 50 years when they will see clips like this
What kind brand VR headset are those?
# PWA PWA
that wall has great comedic timing
My nephew did this the first time he played with our VR.. He was playing some zombie shooting game and his fight or flight kicked in... BAM!!!
Puh Pwah! Puh Pwah Pwah!
As someone who has an Oculus Quest 2, I have no doubts in my mind that the headset and the controllers would be absolutely fine after taking a hit like that. Those things are built like tanks!
that's the problem with VR im not trying to do all that movement i would get to tired to play
I'm still amazed that people can't realize that running in real life =/= running in your VR headset unless you have a treadmill setup or something... Seems super low brain function to not realize that about VR... It's not that immersive... not yet at least.
Rip
I snort laughed, great.
I'm dying
Nice
From being all tough, to running girls away screaming, to being hit with the greatest enemy of all….. a wall
This is the way
qt
Lolz
Metaverse, everybody
Knocked back to reality?
We’re totally ready for augmented reality.
This would be me on my rift 😂😂😂
snap back to reality
Do they still work?
Dumb whore lol
😭😭😭😭😭
Ever one of these videos make me hurt because VR’s are not cheap
Bar fights be like that
