Is my first LTTP, so don't get too hard on me please.
I know, you've probably seen threads like this thousands of times, but I needed to share this.
So, I was really really struggling with getting or not the PSVR Mega Pack when I saw it for only 230 € during Christmas sale on Amazon. Finally I gave up and purchased it. Yup, I'm weak.
So, this massive box arrived home and when I opened it I was like: Jesus, what is all this mess? I'll just show you this pic from the Quick Installation Guide:
So. Many. Stuff.
Anyway, I managed to install everything without getting my desk too much saturated. My room is this one:
(yeah yeah, i have to make the bed, sorry about that)
Turned everything on, put my headset, adjusted it to see everything crisp and clean and...
First let's talk about Cinematic Mode. I like it, pretty good. Medium size is the sweet spot for me, gives you the feeling of being in a cinema. Image quality is pretty OK, tried it with Red Dead Redemption 2 in first person mode and it was a pretty interesting experience. It didn't blow up my mind but it was interesting anyway.
The earbuds included with the package are surprisingly excellent: very good audio quality and it's really great how you can install them in the headset without annoying you while playing.
And then I tried... you guessed it, Astro Bot.
Jesus Christ
JESUS. PUMPKIN. CHRIST!
My mind was blown. I was like "how on Earth i am playing this in my little room for a reasonable price?", it was SO inmersive, and it was fun to play. Being able to watch EVERYTHING that surrounded me was... undescriptable. Being able to lean looking for hidden spots where this cute little robots could be hidden yelling for help.
You can be sure as hell that I will always remember the day I tried for the first time the Virtual Reality at home. I will remember it like the first time I played Dragon Ball Final Bout (yeah, not a great game to start, heh) on a PlayStation when I was barely 8 or 9 years old.
But my VR experience didn't stop there (and keeps going on): Played Wipeout.
WOW! The cockpit mode was something else. Jesus, so so SO immersive, and God, I almost got motion sickness but I got used to the speed after a couple of laps.
I wonder how's going to be the future of VR. I hope the future technology manages to reduce the stuff needed for making it work. Oculus Go is a good step forward, but that's like an independent console, so it's not a valid option for me.
I still have pending to download and try Skyrim VR and DOOM VFR, but I don't know why I don't see them attractive. Maybe because I already played them on PC?
And I still need to try 3D Blu-Ray movies. I was going to try to rent Avatar but the store was closed, so maybe I'll try it again tomorrow.
So, in a few words: I LOVE PSVR, i hate all the stuff needed to make it work. Cinematic Mode is interesting, Astro Bot is MIND BLOWN, Wipeout VR is MIND BLOWN. Didn't try DOOM VFR and Skyrim VR yet. Didn't try to watch a 3D movie yet.
By the way, the headset is pretty light and comfortable, so it's not annoying wearing it during long play sessions, which is pretty awesome. I don't have MOVE controllers yet and I don't know if I should get them (in my local store the pair cost 80 €, pretty expensive for me). You guys think worth it in a small room like mine?
And now if you excuse me, I'm going to save more cute robots and beat spaceships in races at ultra-high speed.
