I would suggest looking into a more affordable option first. You can get a Windows Mixed Reality HMD for a couple hundred bucks and if it is something that you enjoy, then sink $1500 into higher end gear. Maybe that is just me, but VR seems to be hit or miss with a lot of people and it just makes more sense to dip your toes in before cannonballing into the pool.


I personally enjoy it. You can definitely see the massive advancements being made as the technology progresses. Weather it is just using the HMD to look around for the immersion factor in games like Elite Dangerous or full on motion controlled interactive games, there is a wide variety out there to experience. They also suffer from the same problems as any other type of games though. Some are amazing experiences, some are trash.

I'm an older guy here who is reluctant to change, but I've never found the need to go above 1080p 120hz. I play on dual 22" monitors and it does the trick for me. No reason to spend a fortune on things I don't need.

I had considered buying it, but decided not to. I'm a huge fan of the series and have been playing since the beginning, but the newest title is kind of a letdown compared to MechWarrior 4 and the fan made expansions for it. Sure it looks nice and all, but hte game feels very lacking compared to older titles.

Combine that with the fact that we were promised a Steam release at launch (and had to wait a year and a half after the game came out on Epic for that) and the fact that we were promised VR support (which was also dropped without ever being mentioned), I think I will pass on this one and continue to play MW4 with my friends.
