Would No Man Sky Be Better In VR

My gaming nowadays is usually limited to a few hours here and there. My Steam
playtime for this year has been 20 hours of NBK2k17 and 10 hours of Metal
Gear. My machine is an Alienware “Steam Machine” just in case performance
becomes an issue.According to Wikipedia, “No Man’s Sky’s gameplay is built on
four pillars — exploration, survival, combat and trading. Players are free to
perform within the entirety of a procedurally generated deterministic open
universe, w The world is massive and I have been able to visit and explore
some various different planets and environments. As I was on the lookout for
some rare minerals to power up my blaster and my spaceship, I couldn’t help
but wonder if this is the kind of experience I would want to consume with a VR
headset. It is slow and a mythical game with a lot of walking and exploring,
and I found myself looking overhead a lot, watching planets and what is going
on inside of them.There are plenty of things you can find wrong with the game,
but there are many things that are just enjoyable. I had an audio book on
while exploring this new planet and it was a relaxing and enjoyable
experience. I would be very curious to see if there is a way to get this
running on one of the VR headsets. I am not sure of the technological
challenges, but this is something that I want to dive in with.If you want a
first person action game, this is not it. This just feels different and I am
glad that I am on this journey, wherever it might go and whatever we might end
up seeing along the way.
