A bit disappointed.

This thing is fun but the existing apps (the ones that are even full apps and not demos) get old fast and it seems like a lot of missing potential. There has been way too large a delay in new apps, or any kind of communication from Samsung. The overheating thing is a big deal but there are workarounds. The software situation however seems poorly planned for and the lack of respectful communication on the reasons why are worse. Please Samsung, let those of us willing to pay to beta test your product for you at least know what's going on. I hope this translates well to Korean.

I wouldn't worry about your Korean. I'm sure most folks at Samsung know more than one language. It's a null point since you need to remember that Samsung provides the hardware, the rest is Oculus. Notice that you are the Oculus website and not the Samsung website.

Also, remember you are an early adopter. This is what early adoption looks like. Months from now, it will be a different picture.

You need to try Herobound. That game is incredible.

Lol, Samsung communicate? They don't even have a user forum, just a lousy Facebook page. Weak sauce for such a big company.

They need to fix 360 videos. Thats one of the big draws and the video quality is poor. Sounds like a cube mapping solution may improve things soon.

I know what your talking about , the vr is amazing but we get soo hyped up and the lack of content quickly gets old. But im not sure if you know but there is ways to spice it up while we wait for more content. The note 4 has the suround shot mode which is basically making your OWN 360 photos. So ive had sooo much fun going to unique places and taking these photos. Ive also downloaded all my favorite moves and watched them in the cinema( even Porn ... amazing_) Also there is content with 3rd party vendors ive downloaded and i was hyped up again. This is an amazing time to be alive with all the tech that is coming out. Dont get bored my friend. Go out and create!!!!

I actually did not know I could take surround photos. Thank you for pointing that out. And I am super excited about this technology and having loads of fun with my DK2 (JanusVR or something like it is going to change the internet). I am mostly displeased with Samsung's lack of communication, useful forums, or any kind of customer support. I love the work Oculus has done and am super excited to be alive during the advent of VR. Samsung is just another in a group of foreign companies that does not seem to value respectful communication with its customer base (this attitude may only extend to its overseas customer base). Maybe I am judging too harshly and they are dealing with programming, red tape, bureaucracy or other problems I may not understand. This shit is just expensive and it would be nice to get a reason or some kind of update at least if there are going to be delays in promised features.
