This is worth more than you'd think. The multiplayer demo I tried at PAX 2014 had me and a friend sitting maybe three feet from each other, and generic blank avatars in-game, but seeing him nod and nodding back myself was a hugely intimate experience. It's tough to describe, a purely emotional experience.

Do you think the experience was worth putting on a headset for? To chat with someone like that?

I ask because I wonder whether the overhead of using the device is outweighed by its value as a communications tool.
