I didn't read the entire thread but I have a few comments.
1) The Oculus Rift S is very nice, BUT, it has an LCD monitor instead of IPS like the original Oculus Rift. This makes the black/darkness look gray. It's very annoying, especially in VR.
I have the Oculus Rift at home, and the Oculus Rift S at work. Although the Oculus Rift S resolution is pretty amazing, when playing games with darkness, it's really not the same experience. I prefer the Oculus Rift at this point, though I am not sure you can still buy it.
2) I don't have a lot of room for my Oculus Rift to play, but even if I did, I think the best VR game for "real" gaming would be ones where you can sit most of the time and not need to reach out to far from your chair. I think the standing games are a lot more exhausting and are mostly fun for youtubers, but not for a lot of gaming.
3) I still didn't find a lot of games I like to play in Oculus. Maybe one reason is that I don't have enough place for room scale, but also because most VR games seems like different gimmicks on the same principle. Eventually you want a real game where the VR is not the main reason why it's a lot more exhausting to play.
* A few games I really did like on my VR:
1. Moss: Really nice game. Feels like an actual game and made a nice use of VR. The VR doesn't detracts from the game itself and you can play this game for long hours. I played it a lot, but didn't finish it yet.
2. Lucky's Tale: It's a really cute game and fun for new VR gamers. It's a bit hard motion sickness wise, but not too bad. It's a lot of fun to experience platforming this way. However, after a while it got a bit repetitive and I didn't finish it. Although it's a really long game.
3. Star Wars: Vader Immortal: It's the type of game you can't play for too long. But it's short and sweet. You get to do the standard VR gimmicks, but not too many and not too long. I think these types of VR games can't be too long before you get too tired of playing them.
This is just the first episode though.
4. Dirt Rally(1): Was kind of fun to drive like crazy and after a while to learn how to drive properly. It's quite an old game that got adapted to VR, so it's a mixed emotion for me with this game. I feel like the core mechanics are good, but I am not sure I want to invest a lot of time in this mixed breed game.
Edit:
5. Also Serious Sam VR is pretty good. But also, not too motivated to finish it.
