 Earlier this week, I read an article over on kotaku.com from its editor-in-chief Steven Totillo, which was all about the PSVR. Now this was a highly unusual thing because kotaku articles usually consist of flat game news and you know gushing over Nintendo franchises and you know one of my biggest problems with the mainstream games media in general today is how happy it is to ignore VR gaming but in hindsight that's not true I don't think they are actually very eager to point out the negatives of VR gaming and they only ignore the good stuff it seems so it's only half right about that so go on to kotaku.com right now and use the site's search function to search for firewall zero hour for example and you'll get no hits aside from one article that lists what games are released in that week and that doesn't really count because there's no discussion about it you know so anyway let's go back to Mr. Totillo's article about the psvore now it's all about why the psvore is his sixth choice of platform to play on behind the beloved switch behind ps4 xbox 3ds and even mobile games which is truly the greatest insult of all now to be fair to totillo after the headline after the opening paragraph where we are led to assume he sees the psvore as utter trash and where a lot of people might have stopped reading he does go on to say that when he does play the psvore he has you know some fun with this when he tries it once or twice a year that is so then if he has a bit of fun with this why is it ranked behind mobile gaming in his opinion now essentially his main argument here is that the psvore is too cumbersome to set up to incur the cables you know plug in the breakup box charge the controllers even though you need to charge controllers for any console you play on these days and to attach it to your face it's all too much and you know what he is right all of that is very annoying and would be a decent reason to not bother with the psvore but the thing is nobody does this in his article totillo points out that he played astro boss and that he enjoyed us but never played it again why because he had his psvore at his kotaku office and playing more would mean bringing it home and setting us all up there and this is what annoyed me about this article this situation is fairly unique to him now my psvore headset is constantly connected to my ps4 when i want to turn on my psvore i just need to pick up my headset give the lens a wipe and put it on my head like a pair of glasses now i imagine a loss of psvore owners would have a similar setup to me in that regard or at least not a similar setup to totillo who needs to bring it to work with him his experience with psvore is not likely going to be the same as mine and yours and he must know that so it feels a bit like a hit piece against the psvore when i take that into account i mean if i had to reconnect my ps4 or xbox or whatever anytime i wanted to use it it would be a pain in the ass to do it right and in fact he says as much himself about his pc being his seventh choice because he has that put away somewhere so why single out the psvore it seems so pointless everything would be annoying if you had to put it away every single time you wanted to use this and then reconnect it all up again now you might say look this is his experience with psvore it's his website he can say whatever he wants about us that's his opinion and at the end of the day that's correct i won't argue with you there but when his website says absolutely nothing about amazing psvore titles like firewall zero hour or the persistence but is all too happy to tell you that they prefer or he prefers even mobile gaming to psvore that's when you got to look at the bigger picture there and see that you know kataku has a huge readership giving games like firewall more coverage is surely better for the industry than complaining about your specific annoyances with setting up the psvore units right i think so anyway of course i'm not saying psvore is perfect it has issues but for what it does and for what it's attempting to do for right now i think it deserves a little bit better from the media anyway that's it for this video lads and ladies just a bit of a rant kind of a thing you know how salty i get about the psvore and viewer in general not getting its fair dues and being overlooked by people as a result or even worse being labeled as a fad like 3d tv by the uneducated and ignorant neanderthals out there so let me know how you feel about me doing vids like these or not and if you like the vid then please consider doing all that usual moist shies thanks very much for watching and i'll see you in the next one bye for now
