Someone Will Die Playing a Game In Virtual Reality

SlappingOysters writes: Grab It has detailed a hands-on session with horror VR title Kitchen — from Resident Evil creator Capcom — and argues how the physical reaction to the experience could lead to death. The site also believes that classifying VR games will be a challenge and many titles could be banned. Virtual Reality has a big year ahead, with the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus all set to release, while Microsoft is working on the HoloLens, which the site argues adds a further challenge to traditional gaming.

Does this concern anyone else?

I remember buying Grand Theft Auto 5 the day of its release and jumping right in. I loved all of the features and the advancement of the game. The story was great, but it felt shorter than the previous games especially San Andreas.

I went online and saw some people mentioning all of the mini games. "Go buy in game stock! Go do Yoga/tennis/pimp out your car/go do multiplayer."

Multiplayer! Awesome, just what I needed. However, GTA 5 multiplayer has so many stupid rules. You're telling me if i steal someone's car and blow it up it'll cost me money to replace it? The last kicker was the cost of property. $1.5 million for houses. Your mission payouts are only $1000 a pop too.

What's the point in grinding for all of this pointless crap in a video game when i can do all of this outside in the real world and grind for real? VR offers more of the same. So you spend 500 hours playing mini games in some VR Los Santos. What do you really have to show for it?

TL;DR: young guy realized that real life is the ultimate video game and went outside.

Way to some crazy how insert your fucking politics on healthcare into another situation that doesn't merit it.

You can't even construct a sentence with sanity, kid.

Then you'll love public healthcare!

I would love public health care. What we have now is public health insurance.

Here's the reality chump, the problems with the cost of healthcare in the US are largely due to government regulation.

Bought by insurance companies, that bastion of capitalism.

That people like you consider the previous or current healthcare system to be a free market system is indefensible.

Show me where I said that, kid.

You baffle me, sir... why is your brain not floating in a jar of formaldehyde?

I'm still using mine.
