Breathtaking is the word I would use.
I mean, holy hell your first experiences with London Heist and Batman VR are something truly special. Those breathtaking experiences, for me at least, I don't think I will ever truly forget. Plus my finance, brother, and mom were also all blown away by the heist demo and they range from non to casual gamers. On top of those experiences, Until Dawn, Rigs, Thumper, Rez, Playground VR, and Scanvger Odyssey have been really fun experiences that show the potential of VR in multiple genres.
But once you start analyzing the shortcomings of PSVR you realize how hindered the experience is by the aging technology of the PS4 and move controllers. That keeps it from being truly awesome, and more of a diamond in the rough type deal.
It's still well worth the $600+ for software and hardware IMO (if you have the spare change).
So PSVR is ok for the layperson?
Been debating on gifting the vive
I was born in Alabama and I'm handling it just fine. So yes.
Giantbombs stuff last week kidna turned me off from it
Those problems were greatly exaggerated on that stream. I've had a small amout of drifting and swimmer's effect, but nothing close to the extent of what GB experienced. The studio lighting probably wrecked havoc on the PS4 camera's sensors.
