Why wait and deny you the wonders of improvement. It's already magical, surprises all the time. If you had waited with 3D games until HZD and Uncharted 4, would everything before that still impress you? Enjoy the early stages now, and get amazed again by the jumps in progress while it matures.

I've been playing since Atari 2600. I was blown away as a little kid playing those games because they were my first experiences. Pac-Man blew my mind. Then when I was like 6, my mom got me an NES and again, mind fuckin' blown. Sega CD was crazy because we controlled REAL ACTORS. It was like being in a movie! When OOT dropped, the same thing happened. Making that leap from 2D sprites to something like that was really life changing. 

Ever since then, it's been nothing but evolution. We had a brief reprieve with Wii Sport and motion controls, but that buzz was short lived. Everything else is just tiny improvments on an old formula. It just seems like the same old, same old. 

I felt like that kid again while playing Rez Infinite on PSVR, same with plenty other experiences and games like Alumette and Wayward sky. It will be a while until VR becomes merely evolution. Atm it's like the early games era in fast forward. From an akward controlling 3 hour adventure Robinson: The Journey to full blown Skyrim in a year. Robinson was magical 5 months ago, it's already outdated now. So far I'm enjoying the rollercoaster ride, yet I understand it's kinda pricy to jump aboard this early, I've bought more VR games already than non VR games in the last 2 years. Luckily they're not full price.
