Here's my VR story.
October, 2016 waiting outside of a Gamestop in Jackson, MS(USA) at midnight and getting my hands on PSVR1. Was super excited to try it out. Blown away by the immersion but the hassle of setting it up everytime and having some neck issues along with not getting used to “VR legs” properly made the headset just sit on the shelf for next few years. However, when I visited my home country India some time in 2017 my family and friends were all blown away by the experience and to this date their reaction videos give me so much joy!
It’s 2021 and I moved back to India during Covid. I was glad that I took my PS5 with me to India as the availability of the console here was worse than the US. Flat gaming was fun but I was excited about the announcement of PSVR2.
I wanted to give it a try again after the amazing reviews it got before and after the release. Well I kept waiting for the official release to happen in India but no official date was announced. Any few headsets that were sold at local market were all imported and were sold at a high price.
Lucikly a friend of mine was visiting India and he was super nice to bring the headset. I know I wouldn’t be having any warranty if there are any issues but I still risked it. I even ordered honsvr prescription lenses for a better experience. Also ordered some lens protectors in case any of my friends with glasses wanted to try it.
Finally got my hands on this last week and before I say I was blown away by the immersion, the best positive is how easy the setup was and how nice the controllers are! Also I’m experiencing only slight neck issues and I’m slowly pacing myself here by playing games for shorter periods. I ordered deluxe comfort strap from studioformcreative to increase the comfort level.
Excited for the journey! Here is a small clip of me trying out some demos. (Apologize if we are not allowed to share videos).
