    HTC VIVE Virtual Reality System

    • 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
    • There are only a few triple-A games for VR available to play
    • However, the hardware is ready for a VR decade and no later than when Bethesda (Doom and Fallout VR confirmed) will get their AAA stuff ready the Vive will get the recognition it deserves.
    • This is the best vr out there so much to do and
    • The room scale VR is awesome!
    • Room scale VR is awesome.
    • My young son and I accomplished this task in less than an hour, without a single hang upI of course bought an excellent VR-ready gaming computer to go with the headset, so in all I dropped about 2500 dollars on this setup, but for my money, I have a 15X15' gaming area, the BEST VR system available to man, and the ability to play any game for hours with no signs of motion sickness.
    • The HTC Vive is my latest splurge in VR as I have the Gear VR, PlayStation VR, and Oculus Rift already
    • Not worth it for sub par VR on what feels like a prototype
    • I bought a Samsung Gear VR and the Oculus Rift CV1
    • This certainly is not a replacement for a traditional gaming monitor, and getting content to work outside of the SteamVR or Viveport stores is pretty difficult, but if you have a gaming rig capable of running VR and a little patience, I highly recommend that you drop everything and purchase the VIVE
    • Some of you will say your computer runs VR great.
    • I made the mistake of purchasing a VIVE VR, Its terrible
    • Been having great fun playing VR with my friend and getting to experience new games.
    • This headset is backed by Valve and HTC VR has branched off from HTC (the latter is a failing company)No hardware DRM issues preventing an upgrade to a better headset, when availableThe controllers are comfortable and intuitiveThe headset fits tightly to prevent light ingress from reaching your eyesTONS of free and cheap VR softwareIR tracking, instead of camera tracking means you don't need USB 3.0 ports for each sensorCons
    • Enjoy the VR
    • The HTC Vive is one of the three "Major" VR systems available right now
    • Valves software is riddled with bugs I can't get the head set working properly working hand controllers refuse to track when unplugged and steam vr likes to crash frequently before I can even finish room
    • A+ permits use of VR applications like a breeze
    • Awesome - don't buy anything but the Vive, it's the most amazing VR
    • Then VR is ready for the masses , but it's still pretty friggin awesome right now
    • Amazing VR headset
    • VR without room-scale would seem pointless to me
    • wonderful VR experience and be sure to buy it directly from HTC's Vive website
    • its still in development; i don't recommend VR yet, this doesn't deliver quality image over price
    • I feel like the simulator is actually easier to use in VR
    • I would highly recommend this VR Headset
    • DONOT buy this , go with Occulus Rift or wait until Dec 2017 word has it there is going to be a new VR system available from some other company
    • VR technology is only getting more incredible and we have seen the new bits and bobs coming out of CES 2017
    • I highly recommend Arizona Sunshine for anyone who enjoys VR.
    • the VR is great fun when it works, but the company treats it's customers like trash and doesn't stand behind their product at all
    • the VR is great fun when it works, but the company treats it's customers like trash and doesn't stand behind their product at all
    • It's difficult to describe how awesome VR is
    • Love VR to death but the vive's lenses need to be changed
    • Although steam vr sucks.
    • I don't though, appreciate how Amazon promised Fallout VR, and I never received it nor was able to get a hold of anyone to inquire why I didn't get the code for it
    • , Fallout 4 VR is out, lets give this a whirl
    • You may be surprised what you enjoy in VR world as opposed to gaming on a flat screen.
    • When experiencing high quality VR, like the Vive and the Rift and how good it already is, you soon release that it can, and will, get better
    • Wow, if you want a truly great VR experience try this!
    • I am absolutely stunned by how amazing VR is now that I own an HTC Vive
    • Valves software is riddled with bugs I can't get the head set working properly working hand controllers refuse to track when unplugged and steam vr likes to crash frequently before I can even finish room
    • This VR set is far ahead of the Playstation VR and the Oculus Rift because of the fact you can room scale which is walk
    • I started off playing with VR through my cheap samsung vr helm with my galaxy s7
    • Serious Sam VR is the best so far.
    • Setup can feel daunting (thankfully, it is typically a 1-time thing)Overall:If you have the PC to handle it and want to experience the best VR on the market, give this a go
    • I downloaded most of the popular free VR games and they're all great experiences
    • It is great fun but VR should not be limited to watching videos and playing with a gamepad while sitting on a chair
    • Worth every cent for immersive room scale vr
    • The system arrived in great condition and the VR is both breathtaking and responsive
    • I tried fallout 4 vr and it is so blurry that it was unplayable for me and after a bunch of
    • but it's so so much more amazing than other VR technologies currently available today.
    • I acquired the Audio Head Strap and this resolved the balance issue for a much more enjoyable experience (and a bit more contained cable management)Despite these difficulties, the easy of use and software accessibility through both Steam and the VIVE store make this a real contender in the modern home VR space
    • The kids and wife like exploring with Google Earth VR, my friends and I shoot zombies and dodge arrows, and the kids love things like Job
    • It is only the best experience if you have the space needed to get the full experience and you have plenty of cash to blow - is the most expensive retail VR experience out there
    • This VR set was a pain with me
    • Very few good Multiplayer VR games that fully utilize VR to its potential
    • But really, I spent about 800 USD on this fancy VR system (it's more expensive outside the U.S) and then I have to buy extras
    • Then VR is ready for the masses , but it's still pretty friggin awesome right now
    • (As of August 2017):The Lab (Free), RawData, Space Pirate Trainer, Brookhaven Experiment, Job Simulator, Google Earth VR (Free), Tilt Brush, Richie's Plank Experience & Vanishing Realms
    • notifications+Will track most VR games from steam as well, and will add shortcuts to steam if you buy a game on Vive
    • Excellent VR package
    • I would suggest not purchasing the unit because HTC vive does not honor the fallout 4 vr deal
    • Absolutely love this VR system
    • That experience left me skeptical about consumer VR to say the least
    • Good VR system
    • Great VR headset but missing Fallout 4 VR code
    • Pros:-VR!!!-Foam pads cover most of your face (small gap at nose bride, usually not noticeable)-Tracking and video much better than expected
    • Phone VR and Oculus rift VR simply does not provide an experience like the HTC Vive
    • It’s a good VR headset, definitely worth the current price
    • Very Good VR system
    • Absolutely love this VR system!!!
    • Having played around with all of the major VR headset (Vive, Rift & Playstation VR) I have to say that the Vive is the best
    • I feel like I could return... even though VR is so much fun!
    • I like vr, but the screen door effect to me is awful :(
    • But if you are lacking space, live in a small apartment or dorm, then I recommend the Rift as it's going to offer some stellar stand-in-place VR experiences
    • I recommend Robo Recall, Mage's Tale, Superhot VR, and Killing Floor: Incursion, though you may run into (usually minor) incompatibilities when played on the Vive
    • I bought this during launch day because I just wanted to check out what VR was like
    • The realism and immersion of the Vive's room-scale VR is so good that it's almost disturbing
    • While this is the most expensive VR system on the market today, after using the Vive for a month I am fully convinced that I chose correctly
    • I played a VR flight sim called VTOL VR and love the feeling of flying, being able to look all around myself while controlling the aircraft
    • If you haven't yet tried out VR, as in proper VR, then do it
    • games are a lot more expensive than other great non-VR games out there.
    • Having tried the Playstation VR and the oculus rift, the vive is a clear frontrunner with a price tag to match
