Thought I better ask because there's Steam sale coming and I don't want to add more games to my library that I'll never play. I was just debating whether or not to try Metro 2033 & Metro Last Light, just to see if I can get back into it. Any of you played Metro 2033/ Metro Last Light, or would I be best with a game like The Witcher that everyone raves about? That's the last game I purchased on Steam and I haven't even looked at it yet.. Cheers!
@bigmike20vt - So a 70" screen that is probably the size of one of my walls doesn't get you more immersed? I thought my problem was been able to see the sides of the television..

Fair enough. I am a big fan of the old S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series and some of the devs that worked on those games formed 4A games. So for me, I felt right at home. I will say Last light had more action than 2033 did. 2033 was a darker and slower paced experience.

I have both games, I think I've spent a few hours playing them, then I lost interest (Metro 2033 has that strange Russian feeling to the design, not sure I'm fond of it - then I'd rather play Arktika.1 made by the same team). I do have a large Samsung plasma with only 16 ms. input lag in pc mode - but it doesn't matter. In pancake games you're outside the game no matter what you do, in VR you're inside. I've more or less completely lost interest in pancake games.

Metro games are awesome, had the privilege of playing Exodus at a games conference for 30 mins, it's beautiful, terrifying and I am super excited for it.

The advantage of pancake gaming is the games. I don't think you need a bigger TV to take your decision : either you want to play some games that are available only on 2D so you play on your normal TV, or you don't care about the pancake games so you stick to VR. Having a bigger TV or not wouldn't weight a lot on the balance ^^.
Personally, I gave up on 2D games a long time ago. Pressing buttons for every single action gets very old. The same for the complete automation of many actions (like pulling the pin out of the grenade, automatic in pancake games ; or the famous QTE scenes, which are closer to cutscenes rather than actual gameplay sessions).
VR is the thing that got me back into gaming because it transforms so many genres. I always hated sim games, but since I got into VR I bought a wheel and a HOTAS and spend a lot of time on E:D and Assetto Corsa. I can't play Guitar Hero anymore since I played Beat Saber. Age of Empire got quickly boring after I bought Brass Tactics. I have a lot more fun on FPS games like Onward or the Battle Royale of Rec Room than on Battlefield or COD.
I wouldn't say 2D gaming is dead though. Many games can't or won't work in VR, so for those who like these games, 2D gaming is the way to go.
