Well, I've tried to pick up most of the major games that have been available and I think the big thing is that there isn't as much content as I'd like. But it is early stages and I almost kinda hope everything gets consolidated under one umbrella; no exclusivity software wise. Let me play whatever on whatever.
That said, the experiences so far have been great. Having family and friends over to try it out have been really fun and great to see. It's a massive investment though and I can't really recommend "normal" people to plunk down $3000 for it right now. (I'd also guess that making the room available would be tough for some people as well.) But if you have money to burn or game on PC already then I'd tell people to make sure to try it out first and see if you want on the train ride, it's damn fun. I think PSVR will have an easier time with the PS4 install base and the better price point.
Right now between the two though, the Vive is also way better just because of the room and controller experience that Oculus doesn't have. It's supposed to come later but with their shipping problems, who knows when that will be. Oculus does have some exclusives but it doesn't really balance out right now. The build quality and appearance certainly seems better on the Vive as well.
I haven't dug to deep into mods and such but I would kill to be able to just play stuff like XCOM 2 on 3D. Same camera view but like a chess board view of the tactical map.
