This, as the OP is aiming at, is a perfectly true and honest approach !
Good on you, Aroddo !

If the OP was being perfectly true and honest, he wouldn't have needed to Photoshop one of my own images just to pretend that the Oculus imagery is bad. But you probably know that already; you're just excited that someone said "poopoo" on the internet.

@Aroddo The reason you're being called a troll is not because you spoke badly about the Rift but because you did so in a very harsh tone and even went so far as to tell people to cancel their preorders.
People don't like being told a decision they made is wrong, especially when it's based off opinion.

Still have to try it with contacts or find another way to prevent fogging. I hope it's just because of the weather we have right now, but for me the Rift is unusable with glasses at the moment.

My day one impressions of the Rift were similar to Aroddo's, though not quite as flabbergasted. I was expecting it to be pretty pitiful compared to my primary display, and it delivered, though it was really the comfort/fit that was my primary concern.
Long story short, over the next few days I adjusted the fit, tightness, angle, IPD, etc until I learned the quirks of the HMD and got the visual fidelity as good as I think is possible. (pretty big improvement over day 1) Now when I jump into Farlands or Lucky's Tale, I still know it isn't as good as a perfect ideal of what virtual reality could be, but WOW - I don't give a single f**k because I'm there! Add in some 1.5 pixel per pixel via the debug tool and you have a very respectable display that is one part of an immersion machine.
The Rift won't win any awards if you judge it only as a monitor. However, in service to what it actually does, they work well enough that I haven't touched a 2D game since it arrived. (about 3 weeks now) 😃

I did that to illustrate as close as possible what I was seeing, since simply doing a screenshot only shows you the picture generated by a graphics card. And shooting a photo directly from the rift is kinda difficult.
Get it? I was delivering a visual representation of what I was actually seeing, and not what data the graphics card delivered!
And since you were part of the whole conversation, you knew that perfectly well.
It is extremely dishonest from you, to use that as proof of my dishonesty.
And now you are even lashing out at others because you can't bear that your beloved Rift is less than perfect.
Classy.

@Aroddo - To be fair you have given use your first impression, but you know nothing about how VR works. That's the reason why you had such high expectations is all I can say. Just contact Oculus for a refund if you're not happy.
