Those that picked this up, what are your impressions after a few weeks? I've been thinking about picking one up later this summer.
I love it. I've played it pretty much every day since I've got mine. Don't regret it a bit.
It may not be for everyone. One downside is the games. I've really enjoyed the ones I've purchased (Beatsaber, Vader Immortal, Robo Recall, and Moss), but none of them feel like full games. If you are looking for a big game you can put 20 plus hours into they dont exist. That said, pretty much all the games are 30$ or less, so they are priced accordingly. I don't play much more than an hour a day, so those 4 games I bought are still doing well for me. Plus, if you buy a game and you just arent digging it you can return any game within 2 weeks of purchase if you've spent less than 2 hours playing it. I've returned one already and it's a breeze. They've got 50 plus games and seem to be adding a couple a week, so the library is pretty big.
If you are looking for a system that you can do marathon sessions on this isn't it. The headset does get a little uncomfortable after a while. I don't notice it as much with games that you're moving around with, but sitting games like Moss you can start to feel it's a little front heavy. Plus the battery only lasts 2-3 hours, but you can play with it plugged in if you really want to.
I've heard some complaints about the graphics, but I think it looks great. That said, I've never played on a high end PC set, so I don't have a great basis for comparison. The resolution is fantastic. That makes up for lower polygon counts, lower res textures, and fewer lighting effects. If you look at screenshots or videos of some of the games they look like crap, but they look way better in the headset from my experience.
I was reading an interview from one of the Oculus execs and he was saying how in a few years they will have lighter headsets with better graphics and higher resolution, so I guess if you want to wait a couple years you could. I'm glad I bought mine now, and I will probably preorder the next generation when it's available.
