People who think its just a gimmick genuinely have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. Maybe at one point this was true, but not anymore.

There is something magical about being INSIDE a game. Seeing the world at full scale and in perfect 3D as if youre the player character. Driving through Los Santos and being behind the wheel, looking around behind you and seeing in the back seat..getting out and looking up at giant sky scrapers.
But fuck GTAthere are tons of amazing VR games that are full on games, not experienced, and the library is growing every day. Also, its by far the best way to feel like youre watching a movie in a giant theatre from home. Its not even close:

I feel like anyone who calls it a gimmick is completely ignorant to the potential and at this point the payoff of VR.
