Hmm, I think you're right, I hadn't considered it all.
But still (not that it's possible for now), what if someday they could
develop a kind of technology capable of make you feel this sensation and
forget about it right away?
Of course I don't know how it could be done but I tell you, when it
comes to technology, I won't doubt anything, not anymore.
Even though, your point is still valid. Before accepting such complex
concept, one needs to think of the implications it would carry along, of
course, with the good things.
A long way to go, isn't it?

Here's the thing: just because a sensation was created by a game,
doesn't mean you didn't experience that sensation. If games got
realistic enough that they could fully simulate reality and you
faceplanted the sidewalk, it doesn't matter that your nose isn't
broken in real life, you'll still experience what it would be like,
and you'll remember that experience.
So yeah, when you quit the game (presumably almost immediately because
broken bones hurt) you'll be back in the "real" reality and your nose
won't be broken anymore, but you'll still remember what it felt like,
and that's where a lot of trauma comes from.
You've probably paid someone to mutilate your body before (ever had
teeth pulled?), but you (hopefully) don't remember it and have no
lasting impact, because you were asleep for the process, and didn't
experience any of it.
So in short - just because it's artificially created sensation doesn't
mean it's not sensation, and that's where true VR gets terrifying
(because it doesn't always have to be in the context of a game you
play willingly).

I agree. But it's still about gaming, so, even if you were confused
with the two realities, you always would have the "exit door".
Some experiences, of course, wouldn't be that cool to have :) but
well, apart from the feelings, sensation, it's nothing more than a game :)

This would be awesome, depending on the game. Game worlds can be a
lot harsher than reality, and as incredible as it might be to
experience some of them, others... not so much.

Hello folks,
Just now I was randomly chatting with one person and then the
"virtual reality" subject matter came up.
So was wondering, what you guys think about this concept? How far you
would go with it and why?
Do you have any interest into a more complex concept behind this all
which maybe could even confuse you as to what's your reality and
what's the gaming one?
Thoughts are welcome :)
