I don't get why everyone jumped on this idea of VR where you're standing up and moving so much. I'd rather have games just like normal but with a VR headset and KB/M or controller controls.

And I don't get why people watch the NFL or play MOBAs, but there's no accounting for personal preference.

Haven't you played the Goblins and Gnomes or HTC Lab magic store demos? Just walking around in a room full of things to explore is awesome; it's the same experience you get at theme parks, just enhanced with FX.

There's also the thrill of rhythm and sports games, though those aren't much different than their non-VR counterparts.

The Playstation VR is essentially just that.
