Do you really believe this latest gen of VR is the same as previous attempts? There's an ecosystem in place now that was never there before, and yes it will continue to grow. The high price of entry prevents it from becoming more mainstream for the time being, but 3dtv, this is not.

Not sure why you quoted that part, but I was speaking directly about how immersive the experience was, not it's popularity in gaming circles. Every single person I demo my Vive to does not complain about how they look, or the HMDs weight, or the cable. They feel so completely immersed that their eyes when taking the headset off scream "Oh yeah, I'm in a living room!" They then ask how much, I tell them, and then they dismiss any thought of buying their own hahaha. It's freaking expensive.

VR is the real deal, those who claim it lacks immersion need to acknowledge that you are in the minority with that opinion. I have a great setup that demands very little shuffling of furniture, and manage a 4mx4m space. There are absolutely ZERO games in 2d that can rival quality VR experiences with regards to immersion. I could care less how I look(lol at gaming nerds caring about that), and when I'm right into a game, you forget the headset is on. Only after long play sessions where sweat begins to interfere does it become an issue. We are years away from a more low-profile HMD with a perfect mix of resolution, FOV, wireless and the like. I suppose being an old gamer from Atari days, the lower resolution doesnt bother me at all, with supersampling it is more than adequate.

Dirt Rally w/ wheel, Elite w/ HOTAS, and to be frank a whole lot of quality games buried in all those "tech demos" people keep referring to have made my purchase more than worth it. However, I see it more as a great complement to standard 2d gaming, not a replacement.

But DSR isn't true 4k, it's downsampled to your monitors native resolution. True 4k doesn't need AA, and the market won't catch up to that resolution for years, so I don't see anything adopting 5k anytime soon.

@vfibsux: I managed to get through the game with witcher senses and closely following the quest dialogue. Think I got stuck a few times and I definitely missed some pois, but my point was if you didn't want hand holding, Witcher 3 offered a way to do that.

The last jab was unnecessary and juvenile , but that's my sense of humor, man, so my bad there.

So do like anyone who doesn't like markers...and turn them all off? I played W3 with no markers on map and very minimal GUI, one of the best game experiences I've ever had. Sorry you couldn't find those settings yourself, they didn't have enough handholding I guess?

As for MGS5, its fantastic. As stated, the game rewards experimentation, there's so many little hidden quirks and cool gadgets/weapons to play with, if you're bored, you have no one to blame but yourself. I've played every MGS game and while I do miss a tighter narrative, the gameplay is the best it has ever been in the series and I love all of the other additions Kojima added.

FF12's gambit system is arguably the best combat system in a JRPG, ever. Why they decided to get away from it I'll never know. Probably for the same reasons DA:I got rid of all the AI options as well.

For those saying the price is steep - this is not a simple uprez of an old game like most of these HD collections. They have basically redone all of the models, redesigned the UI, rerecorded the audio, and added a lot of content on the multiplayer side. They are packing in the original 2 games as well as the remasters as well. $30 for what is arguably the greatest RTS series ever created is a STEAL.

when talking about Gothic 2 and 3, the question should be "how much of a RPG is Morrowind?"
