The VR parts during E3 were just embarassing to watch.
So I still think that it won't last and disappear like Kinect at some point.
I think it is hard to grasp as someone watching it from the sidelines. It's something you need to experience for yourself by wearing and playing it. It's also a matter of if you can get rid of motion sickness, which is quite hard to do. That is why most titles are on rails or you teleport. Moving around with a VR headset can make you vomit pretty quickly because of the difference of you not moving your body but your brain registering movement.
That being said, it is going to be a hard sell for people not trying it, and the price doesn't make it more attractive as well. It's like buying an additional console oder a second graphic card. It's gonna be a rough couple of months for VR for sure.

Star trek VR looks really cool to be honest
then you realise you must buy 4 HTC VIVE + the computer to run it to play with your friends
When was the last time you saw a game have LAN Modus only? Because that is what would be needed (you need 4 PCs to run 4 HTC Vive, cannot do it on one comp). So there will be Internet multiplayer. Still, I wonder if you can get enough people together to play a multiplayer VR title. I think single player is probably the way to go atm, because there aren't enough people with VR, there won't be vor a while and there're always people that just want to play solo anyway. It's a neat thing, especially for Trekkies, but like you pointed out, the more you think about it, it will be hard to realize if it is Multiplayer only, so let's wait for a little bit more information.

The thing about motion controlls is that they are just straight up worse then a standard controller, as waving your arm a certain way is harder and less efficiant then pushing a button. Vr doesnt have that limitation. general cunsensus seems to be that occulus and vive are good enough to want to push through the headaches, so i'm still hyped.
It's gonna be different from person to person. I get nauseous easily and can't play games with a low FoV because of that. Before I buy one, I am gonna test it out.
Oh and if you go to a big convention to test it out, DEMAND they sterilize it in between people using it. There have been reports of people getting red eyes due to infections because someone didn't do that.
