HEY People, i got a huge dilemma, i currenty own a ps4 pro and I am considering either buying a nintendo switch or a psvr with camera,vr worlds andastrobot (allnew) for 189 euro. i can buy the vr for the lowest price it has ever been or add 150 euro on top and buy a switch + mario kart. what is the advise of some of you who own both of these. please keep in mind that i got a girlfriend who is slowly starting to enjoy gaming and plays games such as detroit becoming human, i would like my purchase to also help her to get more into gaming and i wonder which of these two can make her love gaming more
I do like VR but to be honest my experience has been that I might play it for an hour or so now and then. The novelty wears off and the actual available games are not up to very much. Astro Bot and Tetris Effect are the must haves but you'd probably be done with them in a week,
At a minimum, if you've never owned a Switch before, you haven't played Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey and Smash Bros Ultimate. That's 3 top tier games with TONS of content right there.
For the GF, there's a wide range of indie games that might be similar to games like Detroit. Story driven etc. Indies tend to be shorter experiences though. Not much of that kind of stuff on offer VR-wise. Not yet anyway.
Then you've got multiplayer. The Switch has the upperhand on VR there. If you and the GF want to play together then Switch is going to win there.
Plus you can take it anywhere. It's a feature that many folks seem to not want but it's there.
I mean if the fundamental question is which of these 2 will help your GF love gaming more then Switch is the answer.
If cost is relevant and the library of games is irrelevant then maybe VR could be what you need.
VR is good though. It's a very immersive and cool experience.
The two aren't really comparable though when you think about it. Both are offering very different, and very good, experiences overall.
