The lag view video made me want to throw that Oculus Rift out of the window.

That video is so inaccurate.


Where's the nerd rage? Where's the death and dismemberment to friends and family that game with you? Where's the stuttering and freezing and jumping backwards then forwards again? Where is the unpredictability of the lag?

Interesting, thanks.

btw, your selection of signature gifs is annoying.  Can
you at least have one featuring jugs?  Wink

you mean you and your friends don't just sit back and laugh and laugh and laugh whenever lag makes you run into walls, ladder bop, freeze in place, or die?

Have you tried a lower difficulty, such as the official forums?

they should have had them try to run across a freeway or jump from ledge to ledge instead of just frying eggs.

Or just had them attempt to fry eggs for some homeless starving refugees.



Or better yet put the headset on a starving homeless refugee and tell them they can eat whatever they can cook correctly while surrounded by hungry wolves.
