Basket ball cost about the same as this title. Then you still need a hoop which will cost much more. Then there's the assembly and installation depending on where and how you want your hoop mounted or the type of hoop you want (free standing or hard mounted).

If you don't have room for a hoop outside or live in an apartment that doesn't have a basketball court - you will have to travel somewhere in order to play.

With this you can just do it in the comfort of your home.....

Seeing as you don't have a Vive I can't see why you'd bother posting on a VR only title - unless ofcourse your jelly:steamsalty:

most vr headsets are pretty expensive. idk why you would pay so much more money for a watered down version of basketball just to be a shut-in and never go outside. is it worth it?

I'm sorry, I missed the part where this is the only game available for VR.

I guess I've been playing everything else on my regular screen and thought I was actually in VR, silly me.

Yeah bard get with the program - this is the only title that currently works in VR - everyone know this.......

Though I can see how sitting really really close to the monitor while playing "Battle Dome" could confuse one to think they are in VR......

Why hate? I can dunk in VR, and I can't dunk in real life :(

Yeah you're right. Its like why buy GTA5 or something? Just go outside highjack a car and mow down some pedestrians. Beat up some prostitutes and steal some cops gun. Just go postal.

Awesome Idea.. I'm done with gaming - it's much cheaper to just go outside and do it...

Can someone bail me out?¿

you obviously didn't understand the point of my post. this is a $10 game on an expensive platform, which if you were to buy all the stuff required to play this game, you'd get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ version of basketball in return. or you could not be a shut-in and go outside like a normal human being and play real basketball (which has more benefits than the game), for much less. i swear to god you people are going to defend this overpriced ♥♥♥♥ to the death just to feel like you got your moneys worth

You obviously don't understand that no one here has gone out and bought a Vive just so they could play a $10 game of basketball. You have no concept of what VR entails. There is no way for you to grasp what we are experiencing without trying it for yourself.

Overpriced? I spent more on my triple monitor setup than I did for this device and it does 100X more than my triples. I spent 3x what my Vive cost just on my sim racing rig and can only use that for sim racing. I spent half the amount on my hotas and those are only good for flightsims and some mech games.

I can go on and on about the price of ♥♥♥♥, but that isn't why you are here is it?

No you're here because you are an envious slouch who wants a Vive or Oculus so bad that you are trolling the rest of us who do to justify your irrisponsible spending habits.

Sad how many of you losers go out of your way to start a thread on a game that you want so badly but do not have the proper equipment to play - just to cry and whine and belittle those who have the ability to play it.

If you didn't want the game or a Vive you wouldn't be here. You would have seen that the game had requirements that are well beyond your $300 walmart special laptop and moved on to something more fitting (candy crush).

Anything else you'd like to add?¿

I know this game isn't selling any VR headsets, I'm tallying up the prices of what is required to play it.

it doesn't matter what VR entails, what matters is what it currently is. idgaf about how much money you payed for your rig because that doesn't change the facts at all. i'm not trolling, just pointing out the obvious.

try showing some originality by not stooping to the "if you don't like it than you must be jealous" argument. have you noticed that most people that say ♥♥♥♥ like that have no idea what they are talking about? probably not.

I'm only here because I saw this on the front page, and since Steam lets people post on the discussions of games they don't own, I'm going to post my opinion on it because I'm bored. I also do it because it pisses people like you off and it's funny to me. yet again, you are defending your precious platform so you don't feel ripped off. it's okay, champ.

Funny you state that you are not here to troll then go on right afterward to say the very reason you made this thread was to troll.

I don't need to justify anything to myself. If I had regrets about my purchase I would have refunded it or sold it on amazon for more than what I paid long ago.

You on the other hand are clearly envious of our possition, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation and you would be hanging out in Brony forums talking about hello kitty or whatever it is you people do.

You and others like you keep saying we are here defending our platform - when all we are doing is calling you out. You are the one defending your possition of not being wise with your cash and telling people you hate things you can't afford.
Maybe you should lay off the drugs, the booze the, online gambling, brony porn or whatever it is that you spend way too much on. Save a few dollars a week and in just a few short months you can buy a Vive or Rift.

Or you can just stay here and pretend you don't care by hanging out in the forums of some product you don't plan to buy and don't like while telling people they shouldn't like it either. Because you are gaining so many friends telling them they are basically lazy stupid idiots for shooting hoops in VR instead of leaving the house.

I didn't make this thread with intent to troll, it just happened to bring in people like you who want to start an argument over an opinion. the only troll is you, because you are obviously trying to get a rise out of me with your posts, by calling me a "brony", saying I'm jealous, and you also seem to think that I'm not wise with my cash. care to back that up with proof? that's a bold accusation to make for somebody you don't know. you are either clueless or a hypocrite.

LOL ... Your impulse spending isn't hard to spot. You gave negative reviews of most the games you've played in you library. You have not refunded them because you were too lazy to go through the motions. The rest of your games aside 2 are left unplayed. I'd call that unwise spending.

I'm sure impulse buying didn't start within you very short time on steam.

Now I've shown you the proof (which is your own profile).

Please go ahead and explain how all those hated titles were on sale or just a few dollars each. Try to justify it to yourself.

It's all those little purchases that make you wonder where your money went.... Clueless is when you aren't even aware of what your own profile shows...

Again you stated that you created the thread to piss people off - that is by definition trolling
