Road to Touch, what are your plans?

[Zenbane]

While I anxiously await the release of Oculus Touch (and the amazing new titles that will follow suite), I have the following on my agenda:

1) Finish playing through all of Skyrim. I am a Morrowind vet who finally loaded Skyrim for the first time after seeing how much the gaming world praises it. I love that it is a perfect blend between Morrowind and the Gothic series. I am playing this in 2D because I'm too lazy to fuss with the Vorpx stuff.

2) Learn to play Elite Dangerous. I have a bunch of tutorials to sit through and a lot of practice, but I can't wait to use my new Thrustmaster in ED. I feel like I hit my limit (for now) with Eve-Valkyrie, after many hours in multiplayer battles, and a 3 week long addiction to the Carrier Assault map. After unlocking and fully upgrading the Assuage, I'm ready for some ED luvin.

3) Above all else, once Obduction is released I plan to go full-fledged gamer addict. I'm leaving the wife n kids my credit card, and won't come out of my room until I've beaten this game. I can't stress enough how much I love Cyan, the brothers, and all their work with Myst. It's a development studio that inspired me to try my hand at game Modding.

I love that it has VR support!

List price at launch is $29.99, and [drum roll please] we’re launching on PC, Mac, and Oculus Rift simultaneously

4) If, at this point, we are still not close enough to the Touch release date, I plan to take my box of "The Longest Journey" out of the closet and replay that in Virtual Desktop:

This will be in preparation for purchasing and playing through the sequel, Dreamfall:

I beat the Longest Journey many years ago. As I said above, I'm a huge fan of the Myst franchise and The Longest Journey is probably the only non-Cyan Adventure game that captivated me with equal enthusiasm. However, I never played the sequel, Dreamfall, and knowing what type of game mechanics are involved here... I'm really looking forward to using Virtual Desktop to let me experience this series while floating next to Saturn in VR.

So, what are your plans to keep you distracted as you await Oculus Touch?

Dreamfall is really good. I only played the first episode so far, but I like it. Got a huge boatload of games I want to play, maybe too many to list, but I want to catch up in the Assassin's Creed series (only played the first two), catch up on Batman, Far Cry, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Resident Evil and check out a few random indie titles. Also the new Deus Ex comes out in a few weeks. Gotta make time for that.

StarCraft2, Overwatch, StarCraft2, Heroes Of The Storm,StarCraft2, and I may finally beat Torchlight.

Did I mention StarCraft2?

No Man's Sky will keep many people busy. Then there's Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Mafia III. I also have a number of VR games that are "Early Access" which I'll keep coming back to (RAW Data being one of the more interesting ones). The Thrill of the Fight is also being updated weekly.

Lots to do until what? October release?

Monster Hunter will continue to eat up 90% of my free time, probably.

But I also plan to check out Battleborn (purely for the co-op story mode) and Double Fine's new game 'Headlander' ...  still have a few games on Oculus Home to play through, as well...

And if that somehow still isn't enough, I've got quite a few good point-and-click adventures I could play (I think I have that one you guys were talking about, actually)  along with the second and third Shantae games, aaaaand I might face the daunting task of figuring out which mods to install for VR Skyrim and how to go about all that, because I literally stopped playing that game in 2D when the Rift DK1 was announced, because I wanted so badly to play it in VR instead.
