VR games VS Normal video games

I still don't have that much experience with VR but since these are just for fun I decide to it anyway:

VR: 

  • ALLWAYS uses motion controls(+ 5 points)
  • Can make you feel sick(- 3 points) 
  • Overall feels real thrilling(+ 5 points)
  • Feels real(+ 10 points, in most cases*) 
  • Is costly and takes space(- 0 points, cause it's worth it if you can pull it off) 


    * I mean I don't want to have an evil dentist clean my teeth in VR, I'll have nightmares for weeks!

    Normal video games:

    • You can see your surroundings(+ 10 points )
    • I think I could play a normal video game for longer but doctors say you should take at least a 15-minute break no matter what kind of digital gaming you enjoy. (+ 0 points, since neither has an advantage) 
    • Normal games seem less buggy but the library has to use the VR setup for different people and in different rooms and I wonder how buggy it would be if you just left it set up and did not change anything. (-/+ 0 points cause I don't have enough data) 
    • Can be easier to respond to emergencies(don't have to take off a helmet)(+? points, I don't know how fast this can be done. I only have played at the library and I trust my facilitators know how to do this in a pinch if needed, this will be the tie breaker though.) 
    VR: 17

    Normal: 10

    VR wins!
