  • I’m pretty sure they priced it that high on purpose. They only want devs and enthusiastic
    early adopters to buy this thing. Since currently it has no use case for the average user. Apple is probably afraid that if people buy it now and then realize that they don’t see any use for VR in their life they will never buy a VR product again and Apple will have lost that customer forever. Apple hasn’t found the killer app for the mainstream use case for this product yet and thus they are putting it in the hands of the third party developers.

    We also seen it happening with other headsets. Lots of people bought a Quest 2 during the corona pandemic, which triggered the Zuck to invest heavily in the meta verse, and now they are collecting dust and nobody visits facebook’s meta verse . The average consumer doesn’t want to strap on a clunky headset just for games or porn.








  • Even if you can ignore all that, because you just want to watch a stupid action movie, the pacing and plot structure is just terrible. The second act was way too long yet the story barely progressed. It was just a boring fetch quest. And the third act was just hastily slapped at the end and was mostly a dumb action sequence.

    And I couldn’t care less for all the action scenes in the second act since there was zero build up to the action. Like with that fight with the spider, I was rooting more for the spider than for that warrior. Since the story didn’t make me feel invested in the warrior. All those scenes where they introduce the new characters should have been each a few minutes long at most. So the betrayal could have happened in the second act. So there would be more time to tell a story and build up to the action in the third act.

    Even a stupid action movie needs to have good pacing and structure.
