Question

New Poll. Is the oculus home better than the steam VR setup ??

I find the oculus home so much more convenient when navigating VR games.

    I think so, I am actually thinking about paying the little extra to have the games in the Oculus menu.. Indeed is so much more convenient with the Oculus touch controllers anyways, I feel.

    A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

    Yeah, especially now that the Voice Command feature has been implemented.  Don't have to search my increasingly large library to find games I haven't played recently, and I wager it would make finding a specific title in the store easy as long as you know the name.  (At least I think the 'find' command works with titles you don't own? ... If not, it should)

    It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

    Hey, @molokow is our friendly neighborhood talking frog. He's actually quite harmless.

    Steam is not perfect by a long chalk, but it has features which I really appreciate while in VR mode that oculus doesn't, messaging friends, flipping into desktop, changing settings, the list goes on. Oculus home is nearly a year old and it feels every bit like the beta  it keeps reminding me it is. Hardly anything has changed. I've got an avatar  that's been staring at me for 3 months as if to say 'and what am I here again for exactly?' I know stuff is coming but come on and get some progress. Basic stuff that's missing or broken, no video demo in headset for media, no scrollable description (if more than the allowed single page it's just cut off), no title search in store, no way of viewing ratings of others. I don't want to have to be flipping headset off after finding something in store to look at pc and find out more about it. 

    As of now, Steam gives me plenty of ways to do the things I need and OH feels like a clunk. It's all a bit baffling this far down the line that so little progress has been made, I'm wondering if it will make it out of beta before CV2 appears.

    I like them both, neither one is difficult to use.
