so i know VR has been a thing for at least a couple years now, but the main thing i dont like about this idea is the fact i cant see whats going on around me and this raises a safety and awareness concern on the matter in my case. im hoping that in the future of nintendo systems this isnt going to be required to play games or i probably wont wanna buy it, here's my reasons...
the screen is right before your eyes, literally--you cant see anything but the game itself. not even your own hands or body. hopefully these sets dont cover ears too, that will be bad >.<
your own body is the controller, leaving a wide margin for hitting or kicking things nearby, likely breaking something or even hurting someone else in the process which is what not being able to see your surroundings basically leads to for almost everyone.
the above are why im personally against VR overall. i want the screen on TV, so then i can see and hear whats going on around me and i dont accidentally harm a friend and feel much regret from being careless during intense/ engaging gameplay where youd have to really focus to overcome said challenge. this sort of thing has happened to many of us who've played video games in general, we play the game reach a certain point where the difficulty spike really steps up the game and we need to focus in order to overcome the challenge (especially for very fast-paced games in this instance where there is little or no time to think). i probably wont be doing any gaming with VR because for the above reasons, i prefer the regular and/ or old fashioned way, we look at the TV or portable screen and can still look away and see whats going on and have face time conversations with friends. dont get me wrong, i do realize the advanced technology involved with these things, but i dont really like the safety issues that come with this.
