I don't want one of these because I want to be invested in games, not immersed. The first time a Gloom Spawn jumped out at me in TotK was bad enough and that was without a headset putting me in the position of actually having my life-force drained from me by shrieky-hydra-hands.



Oh man, that dang Gloom Spawn startled me pretty bad the first few times I saw it and caused a hilarious (to observers) scene. One type of game I won't play in VR is a horror game. TBF, I won't play them at all, but any game that has scary bits won't be played in VR.


I imagine many onlookers would be able to tell who is playing a horror VR game based on the presence of a nearby change of clothes.
