If you are having a party, then download some stupid game and watch friend to play it

Best game platform I've played in my life

The fun part is that the game encourages you to “punch” the orbs to get style points, rather than just block the orbs passively.

The tracking is unreal and the there are well over 100 games that range from free to $30

The games themselves are a bit disappointing but the vive usually makes up for there shortcomings

Should I have to spend an hour on the phone with support just to get a free VR game that was supposed to come with my $800 VR platform after spending two hours installing and setting up the damn thing and creating an htc account when I already had a steam account

Son loves this game along with all of his friends spendthrift but he’s spoiled!

Some even feel like smart phone games

The software installation experiences through Steam have been super simple and there are a number of great games to play with more being added monthly

Not all the games are that good, but the overwhelming favorite one so far is Longbow.

and I'm working on making games for VR.The tracking is remarkable and the sense of presence you get it like nothing else I've experienced

There are not many VR games available today, and for a new purchase this expensive, it's hard to justify buying a bunch of VR games just to try them out

Excellent for those who wish to be more active yet love their games

The only cons is that for been a new technology the game are limited of few good ones , so after playing the same well made games you start to loose interest in which will cause you to set aside the vive for a period of time before a new good made game will come out.

as many good quality games are there are for other VR headsets

I'm not an avid gamer, never owned a PC before this but after countless research, watching you tube videos, and Reading

In well-developed games, you will not be able to see any pixilation

Bright games tend to look a bit better as contrast suffers a little

You may find that you can't stand the screen door effect (some games are worse than others), you may find that you get motion sick (never has happened to me in the month I've owned it) or get headaches (only has happened once, and I can't say for

Fun device, but not enough interesting games for it

While arcade/cartoon-like games seem fun and enjoyable, and actual game suffers dramatically

I've yet to play a game that doesn't crash on me sooner or later.-The hardware is as buggy as the games

The games are all mediocre at best

It's flooded with half baked, cheap games

It's 806 there including shipping and 0 tax and comes with like 3 free games .

The only complaint that I have is the slight lack of good games to play out of the box

Lots of scary games if you like that stuff too.

Top of the line in VR hardware, just not that many games out yet but they are working on some good titles that are coming out soon.

Most of the good games will cost you extra but there are really good games

The games and video is so realistic!

Some of the coolest games, like the Lab, are totally free.

I do have to say, that Elite Dangerous was the only game that kept me coming back,

It's a completely bizarre experience, but the games are almost all universally intuitive (be sure to get games with a "very positive", or "overwhelmingly positive" rating - this is easy to do, i have around 20-30 of them now after only a month with this product - these all collectively set me back around $100.

The problem is amplified given the fact that there's a hundred or so "games", (more like experiences, or tech demos), out for the thing that you're apt to keep shoveling $5-$10 to see if the next "game" is worth it

A few of my favorite games are tilt brush, the Blu, the lab from steam, space pirate trainer, out of ammo...

I find the best games are roomscale ones as they are often the most enjoyable and lack any motion sickness for me

The real struggle is getting enough games to go with it, not the hardware itself!

The Lab" is a good place to start, but I also recommend games like Apollo 11 (Steam), Titanic VR (Steam), Fruit

I'm excited about all the big name games to stupid budget games

Creative games

Lastly, the games are blurry

I bought the Vive when I was still into the Virtual Reality hype, and for a while I was not disappointed, the game I tried out were very realistic in terms of how it spacious it felt

I also believe there aren't enough full scale games and better ways to walk.

There are also plenty of free games / experiences, so you don't have to spend money all the time.

The games are all right, but for now they all largely fall into 5 categories: Minigames, tech demos, horror, social (Like VRChat), and porn

Game are somewhat lacking currently, but tons are receiving pretty compelling updates, so there's no lack of unique content

Some games have been a little buggy so far l, Ray Dana, for instance, won't load at all, and there's a lot of post install tweaking and things to figure out.

6ftx6ft to play certain games like Funhouse VR.

The only thing I wish is that there were more good games available for it.

It's great, but I never got the e-mail codes for free games that were included

I later played my favorite game

As long as you are OK with being an early adopter (which comes with its own set of benefits like cheaper games) and understand that not every game is going to be 100% polished, this is the best device you could put this money towards

We've also purchased some games that have been recommended as good workouts (Audioshield and Holopoint), but I haven't had time to try them yet

Best games so far ironically is Project Cars for me (which doesnt use the base stations)

Made a happy gamer.

Great game selection, but a majority are wave shooters

He's not a die hard gamer but who can resist being inside of a video game

Some great games have poor visual quality due to game engine deficiencies

Second, the six degrees of freedom allows for really creative and very active games, and the accuracy of the tracking is highly impressive

Amazing game-changing technology

The games continue to amaze me

: Elite: Dangerous, Distance (beta), Tilt BrushI will be trying this out with Subnautica soon and various other games that are made specifically for VR.Con

For the good games yea

IMHO Holopoint, Space Pirate Trainer and Vanishing Realms are the best games

There are some great games available

Those are most of the more well-known games I’ve tried.

Theirs is clearly not as polished, it is hard to navigate, and even harder to find good games on without a search bar

My favorite games so far are Tilt Brush (included with the Vive purchase) and Rec Room (free).

There aren't exactly many choices for good games to play, but the good ones are quite amazing

and now I've essentially got a gaming system without many games available

With the right game, absolutely terrifying (A Chair in a Room)

Comes with a handful of free games and software

* UHD @ 144hz was causing me problems (zero issues after moving to 1080 when using the Vive.)When you get a good game that has high ratings on steam, you're instantly transported to an entirely different world

Playing games like Cloudlands Mini Golf, Serious Sam and Virtual Pool will really showcase what VR can do

Big issue number two, is the games

The games are all right, but for now they all largely fall into 5 categories: Minigames, tech demos, horror, social (Like VRChat), and porn

So many free games in Steam

The games are phenomenal!

but I never received my free games per the promotion at the time.

Like the games you experience in Disney or

Generally the bigger the better!My personal favorite game is the Space Pirate Trainer game, but there are so many good and great games

The games currently out are amazingly fun.

There are even a few good local multiplayer games that let people without a HMD participate.

: There's no airflow in the headset so you will sweat if you're playing a game where you're moving around a lot- Cord: Heavy and can ruin immersion when you get tied up in

Both games are available for free download.

This is an amazing games with very good graphics and animation.

I have played many of the demos, but I use it primarily for Elite Dangerous and it is perfection (not the game-the vive)

There's countless free games

I can hardly play my favorite 2d games anymore, which I once found so fantastic

The real struggle is getting enough games to go with it, not the hardware itself!

The games, and sense of immersion, of not just playing videogames but being part of them, is just amazing

I don't have the free game time that I used to,

There are a few "free" games out there and they are good to get you off the ground, but soon you'll want to do other things

The games are always noticeably blurry and it hurts my eyes.

I purchased a $6000.00 + laptop, throwing everything I could at it and the game seems to still lag

Video quality is premium considering the state of technologyCon's:Most of the games available are not fully developed

, it's smooth, everything is tracked fantastically, and the games are fun

Even the rudimentary games are mire fun than full 2D ps4 games though.

The game "Onward" with the Vive has been truely incredible, but there are many other experiences that I have loved and even have yet to finish that are mind blowing

Dangerous, thinking I wouldn't really be doing a lot of roomscale gaming or experiences, but I find I am using it for lots of great roomscale games and experiences

As a result, every game almost feels like a beta, even the ones that are "complete"

There is already a number of really cool games, and the system is relatively new

Steam has a great selection of free and paid games, 700+ as of writing this

The current games are great and that brings me to another point.

While arcade/cartoon-like games seem fun and enjoyable, and actual game suffers dramatically

There is a great game called Rec Room which is free, but possibly the best game out right now

My favorite game is Tilt Brush as I'm an artist and it really gives me an opportunity to play around with a new medium

Selection of games is important and there are a variety of games to play in Steam VR, the game library that supports the HTC vive

I downloaded most of the popular free VR games and they're all great experiences

There is a ton of free games and apps you can get right away if you don't feel like spending any more cash

Awesome games, immersive games

-scale!I also like that it is easy to find compatible games and that many games and experiences are free

Overall the Vive is a worthwhile experience, but beware of the false promises made by Amazon for free games.

In addition to games, there are non-game applications like tilt brush and virtual theaters

The only cons is that for been a new technology the game are limited of few good ones , so after playing the same well made games you start to loose interest in which will cause you to set aside the vive for a period of time before a new good made game will come out.

The Lab" which is free from Steam for this is so full of amazing games and things to explore that you really don't even need to buy anything extra right off the bat, and even if you did, you could then switch over to the free Google Earth app and spend hours and hours exploring with that!Clearly this is not a headset for the thinnest of budgets, but it is SO worth it if you can afford it

Pros- games immersion is spectacular

It does come with a bundle of "Free" games from the viveport app

(I mostly play New Retro Arcade Neon & obviously it's frustrating to play a game like Pac-Man when your RIGHT & DOWN joystick

My favorite game for the system so far!

The Vive also supports a game pad with compatible games

After 45 minutes, the say that they couldn't see where in the description that it came with free games.

Not enough games and the ones that exist are only 20-50 min in game lenght

You can extend your index figure and manipulate game elements - quite an enhancement

v/r head set is amazing (cyberpower best deals)such a good workout in a mike tyson like punch out boxing game and sore shoulders from firing thousands of arrows at warriors trying to breach my castle in marksmen .plus project

I have played many games now and enjoyed it completely.

Granted most of them are "early release" there are some absolutely incredible games to be

Some games are gimmicky but you can say that about any system

Love this game!!!!

games are a lot more expensive than other great non-VR games out there.

A word of warning, the current games out are fantastic, but the arcade-style games don't keep my interest the way some other games do

This is my other current favorite game.

There are several "full" games available, and I haven't even gotten to them, because The Lab, Zombie Trainer, The Brookhaven Experiment, and (especially

The games it comes with will blow your mind

Some games take advantage of the touch pads and essentially convert it into 4 additional buttons, but most just make it as one big button

They ducked and dove into the floor playing Raw Data, and I had never seen my family enjoy video games so much, let alone enjoy them at all

The games are great and not too pricey

Comes with free games too!Keep in mind that the clarity and resolution is limited

Most games feel like demos of future games or don't really have any point other than to showcase what it can do

I would play a game and a controller would freeze, or a sensor would just randomly go offline

I've noticed when calibrated the room if someone in the play area, games gets a little glitch but totally understandable because it's interfering with the Lighthouses.

The full game isn’t out yet, but I really enjoy this one.

but I haven't received my free games yet.

The only couple of reasons why I'd really like to fine tune my rating to 4.5 stars is Vive Customer service seems a little off, they gave me some promotional bonus for a free game(s) where the code didn't work and then went in circles trying to get it to

All the games feel like demos, short, some are really well done and worth the money if you can afford it

I bought mine from the Microsoft store and got 3 free games with it for 799.99

Yet the games have better clarity in Rift - and the headset is much lighter - making it 'cooler' for extended playing

Most games are like 85% of indie games

This is the favorite game of my kids (5 and 7 year old boys) and they ask to play this every night.

But honestly, in most immersive games you dont even notice it, only for games where youre in the mountains trying to look far into distance for example, screen door can be noticableFinal comment: the cons i listed by no mean make it a bad product, you will have lots of fun with this given you play the right games and find the right apps.

As an avid gamer sitting on top of well over 400+ games in my steam library the only regret I have is that I do not have 2 computers to run 2 of these bad boys

Games, well to be quite frank the games right now suck.

I didnt even get to play a single game before it had broke

So many cheap paid games

Don't worry about nausea: most games have teleport movement and comfort features.

but i haven't received my free game codes

Most of the games available are games I never heard of and have no reason to play

You get more free games and and additional $100 toward games on Amazon!!!4)

I love the games, and some exercise type games are great

So many great games and experiences.

although the moding community has shined brightly on it, keep talking and nobody explodes is a great party game

Most of the recommended and "good" games are just wave based shooters with different skins...looking at you Raw Data

As an avid gamer sitting on top of well over 400+ games in my steam library the only regret I have is that I do not have 2 computers to run 2 of these bad boys

Wow bought this primarily for the game Beat Saber, but there are so many great games that you can have fun

Please be aware language is not monitored so if you have little ones, make sure they are in age appropriate games.....

The best single player games for it right now are community mods of games like Minecraft and Metroid Prime

Even old games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 that I have played and enjoyed in 2-D space are wondrous and new in VR

Although I must say that some games, like Fallout 4, have a pronounced3D look to them while not being true VR.Get yourself a good pair of surround headphones to accompany this

Other games are way expensive for what you get - developers are definitely charging early adopters a premium

About me: I'm a PC gamer who enjoys the more competitive, "twitch reaction" type games like Counter-Strike, Overwatch, and occasionally PUBG

Every day, new free or cheap games are being added to Steam

Worth the cost IMO and as VR develops even better games will be released.

But with lackluster games at the moment, and the high price, it's only for the most extreme of PC Gaming hobbyists

If you’ve ever been a fan of the Guitar Hero or Rock Band franchises, you will definitely like this game.

Being a technology that is in its infancy ingues it is expected that the images would not be as beautiful as it is on you 4k monitor but if the game is interesting you will forget easily that it looks like you are looking through your screens in one of your house windows

Lunar Flight, where you do missions on the moon, very difficult at first but very rewarding as you get better flying the moon module

It does have a tendency to get people sea sick as the motion is not always silky smooth as of yet and pixelation and

They whir and vibrate a

I did everything on my end to make the base station work as I don't like returning things especially something that I really really wanted to enjoy with friends

The controllers disappoint me as they don’t feel natural and in some games your holding the wrong one in the wrong
