For one thing, if you want to shoot something, it's not a matter of twiddlng tiny thumbsticks to match a crosshair with a target - you just aim the gun and shoot (far more accurately, I might add).
For another thing, it's FAR more immersive. There's a zombie mode in Pavlov that is really scary when you get overwhelmed, because it's not happening across the room on a screen, they're right up in your face. Even things like shooting arrows in skyrim is much more accurate. Now you can get haptic vests it's verging into 'Ready Player One' territory. I'm almost finished Half-Life Alyx which is an amazing game. Can't wait for more AAA titles to be released. And I like the fitness ones too. Crazy Kung Fu is my favorite because you play against a wooden dummy. The other hand-to-hand combat ones feel a bit too real. I feel bad punching someone in the face.
And they're only like $600. Best money I ever spent.

Oh my god - playing Skyrim and any sort of Half-Life game on a VR headset and I might starve to death without ever taking them off, either before or after my wife leaves me. Rabbit hole, here I come....
