Octoberween 2018 Video Weekend: VR Games Are An Absolute Nightmare Series

Another weekend is upon us so it’s high time we have yet another Video Weekend. I have to admit I wasn’t able to blog as much this week like I planned last week but I hope to fix that in the days to come. I’ve been doing a lot of Octoberween celebrating at the moment, especially now that the weather has decided to cooperate and get chilly enough to warrant a light jacket. All that is missing is the turning of the color of leaves and some mid-morning/evening fog to role in. Tonight I just might make a bonfire…

But before I go off to make mischief I thought I’d post the topic of today’s Octoberween Video Weekend. I happen to stumble upon this YouTuber as I was looking for info about the VR version of the PC video game Elite Dangerous. A PC gamer friend of mine couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful the game was in VR and that investing in an Oculus Rift headset was money well spent. So I thought I’d look into the game myself given that I’d never play it in that fashion since late I heard Elite Dangerous was an online only game and I don’t I’d see myself spending the money on a PC gaming rig and VR headset. What I found was one of the most hilarious video reviews about VR that I had ever witnessed. UpIsNotJump’s “This Is Why” video series is still young but funny to watch as he explains about certain aspects of playing games in VR. Some of them are actual VR titles while others are games just made to play in VR. Either way his videos are an “Absolute Nightmare” to watch.  I figured his video series was a fitting Octoberween Video weekend subject to enjoy when it comes to video gaming: VR Nightmares!

I thought about posting 3 videos of his coverage of Bethesda games in VR but it looks like he might reload one due to shared monetization issues. So instead I thought to post two videos of certain Bethesda games and the one that got me hooked on his videos. His slick video editing and British wit make these videos not only informative to watch but hilariously fun to keep up with. And besides: who doesn’t enjoy a good “nightmare” every now and then. Enjoy!

Looks cool, but I still don't want to wear that thing on my face. I like being immersed in a game, but not that much.

The first video must've spoken to you in the first few minutes in how you literally feel like a sink in the beginning of Fallout 4 VR, espeically given how you have such a VR device strapped to your face. Tongue Out

I've had two opportunties to try VR lately and I've missed both of them. One of these days I'll get to try it. I think it's neat for short experiences, but I would not play a game like Fallout 4 for hours and hours in VR. I'm kind of scared how that might warp my perceptions of reality.

I saw one set up at a BestBuy awhile ago but didn't have the time to try it out. I'd like to one day but not sure I can spend the $499 for just the PSVR alone.

As for how playing VR Games will warp your preception of reality you should check out UpIsNotJump's videos on Gorn and Budget Cuts.... >:)
