Looks great! Can't wait to build a castle in the middle of my room
I guess Minecraft is one game I'll never understand why people consider it fun. I could do a mario maker for a few hours but that's about the extent of it.
Yes I checked it out before and yes I hate it. I am curious about the Climb from Crytek, I noticed a scene where it shows paraglider's going by and made me wonder if that's something the game features? I'd love to paraglide in VR.
*oops, I meant wing suit, not paraglider

I just want to use VR to fly. Someone needs to make a bird simulator lol
I suppose I don't have any bit of creativity in my brain.
You should check out Omega Agent for the GearVR...you get to fly a jetpack around, it's awesome
The Climb is dead to me without motion controls. Such a missed opportunity.
You might regret cancelling that Rift.
On May 7th, Oculus will launch their brand new retail experience in 48 Best Buy stores across the country, with more locations expected to follow later this summer.
As you might expect from an in-store experience, Oculus plans to include a range of VR demos to show off the hardware, starting with the Oculus Dreamdeck we played around with in our official review. For something even more immersive, users will also be able to take on the heights of Crytek's The Climb and explore the alien worlds of Farlands, all without ever leaving the safety of their local Best Buy.
If in-person purchases aren't your thing, a small number of Rifts will also be available for purchase online through Amazon and Microsoft starting this Friday, May 6th at noon ET. Expect supplies to be scarce while the company catches up on pre-orders, which have already been experiencing some shipping delays.
Speaking of which, anyone who already ponied up for their Oculus Rift hardware will be able to purchase the Rift in-store and keep their pre-order benefits like the EVE: Valkyrie Founder's Pack and front-of-the-line status for Oculus Touch controllers. All you need to do is go to your order status on Oculus' site, add a note that you've already bought the hardware at a retail location and the company will cancel the pre-order.
Damnit, I just want to use VR to fly. Someone needs to make a bird simulator lol
The handling of the Rift launch is one of the worst product launches I've seen in terms of honoring the customer, communication, and fulfillment. I can't think of anything that really went right.
I'm with ya. The thing that annoys me most about Minecraft is that it is ALMOST a game that I would have really adored. I remember when it first started getting hyped when it had like 50,000 players and I wondered what it would grow into. But then it had 500,000 players then a million, then 5 million, and I feel like it might have destroyed their need to make it into something. I assumed it was going to become like a Tower Defence game but you make your own bases, then things start attacking in waves and you have to build epic castles and then start putting defences on them like cannons and archers and whatnot. I would have loved that, but all they did was add more items to craft.
I think Multiplayer makes it a lot more interesting because you can apparently attack each others buildings and stuff, but I need more 'game' aspects for me to enjoy something like that. Like even some basic capture the flag mechanics or something. I just need something that hooks me and I never found that :/
I did play several hours and make some cool structures though but I just wished there was more to it.
Rift has been a disappointment. They completely missed the mark and the hype has passed. I was in the second allotment and haven't heard anything since early April. My friend was in the first batch and he finally got his about a week ago, well over a month late. Frankly, I don't care anymore.
I wouldn't mind the delays so much if (1) they shipped ALL pre-orders before putting them in B&M (seriously, what the heck? Wait 5 months & then it's like a slap in the face to have anyone waltz down to Best Buy or hop on Amazon & get their Rift a full 2 months before your now 6-month preorder), and (2) there wasn't competition available - and not only competition, but better competition with the Lighthouses & Touch controllers. And the ability to run the Rift games through Revive Injector
I think it was dumb to give away a ton of them to kick starter backers. No one was expecting that and it set back the entire launch.
A smarter idea:
1. Give away free Rifts to Kickstarter backers (good PR move)
2. Ship out Rifts to pre-orders, then give a $100 refund (good PR move)
3. Put up at B&M and Amazon once the buzz is out
