Kind of want an Occulus Now  :'(

There's probably two or three games that are awesome for it right now. By the end of the year, that number might go up to four or five.

Price of admission is crazy for now unfortunately

I wouldn't mind getting an Oculus, but I'm not jumping in until this Oculus/Vive war shit is settled.  Having DRM so you can only use games on one headset is insane.  There's no way I'm buying 2 PC headsets just to enjoy all the VR games.  And it's even worse because by all accounts Vive is the better quality headset, but Oculus Touch is the better controller.  When the dust settles I'll get the good one where all the VR games are at. 

In the meantime I'll keep using my DK2 as long as stuff supports it and will probably pick up Sony VR eventually.  VR is cool shit, but it is expensive and the Oculus/Vive PC war is lame.  Although if I have my facts correct, all the "exclusive DRM" stuff is Oculus/Facebook being dicks and Vive stuff works on Oculus, but not vice-versa.  I might be wrong on that though, I haven't been following it particularly closely.

There's some Zelda clone doing the same thing, the concept baffles me. It's like "this game is mediocre but if we put it on VR people will overlook how mediocre it is!".

Yeah yeah 3rd person whatever.

Immersive Lovecraftian game is what I'm seeing.

The same people overlook how mediocre Zelda is because of Nintendo magic dust?
