Hi Paddy, another NZ'er, good to see.. $750 sounds like a good price for everything. I only got my sensors a week ago and they are a hit with everyone, it does open up a lot of different gameplay for the rift.
As others have said, if you got a bit motion sickness it can take a while, some are worse than others. I would not get onward until you get your VR legs. It takes some getting used to.
Racing and flying are often some of the easiest but there are some racing games with baked in effects that really dont work with the rift and need to be turned off in VR. I found it easy to get sued to cockpit games, much harder to get used to ones with locomotion.
Now I see the gameplay that the touch opens and I will have to get more used to locomotion as well or I am missing out on too much.. Things like robo recall I found easy compared to onwards. YMMV.

All of those games above plus the following from the Oculus Store:
Dead & Buried (Free)
The Unspoken
Arizona Sunshine
Edge Of Nowhere
Chronos
The Assembly
Dreadhalls*
EVE Valkyrie
Dead Secret
Damaged Core
And the following from Steam:
The Solus Project*
P.O.L.L.E.N.*
Subnautica*
Push For Emor
Onward*
Pavlov*
The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter VR*
The ones I've marked with an asterisk are games that you'll need to grow your 'VR legs' before playing. Here's the best way to build up a resistance to simulation sickness:
1) Play a Comfortable rated game from the Oculus Store until you START to feel a little odd or uncomfortable and then STOP immediately (by pressing the Oculus Button on the Touch controller/Oculus Button on the remote/Xbox button on the Gamepad) and keep your headset on.
2) Take a few long blinks, around half a second each and relax.
3) Remove your headset and take a LONG break, at least several hours but I personally would recommend a break overnight.
4) Repeat steps 1-3 and after a couple of weeks you'll notice that you can last longer before feeling odd or uncomfortable. Then try some Moderated rated stuff from the Oculus Store, Lucky's Tale is an ideal game to try because it has camera movement and repeat steps 1-3. Once you have that sorted then move onto Intense rated stuff.
The most important thing is this: DON'T TRY AND POWER THROUGH IT OTHERWISE YOU WILL END UP THROWING UP OR END UP BEING LAID UP IN BED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND YOUR BRAIN WILL START TO ASSOCIATE VR WITH BEING ILL.
Welcome to the future :smiley:
