I want to get into VR, but not only am I not rich, I'm from a third world shithole, so the prices are even more egregious to me. I've saved up some money for a set but I don't know which one would give the best performance for its price range, the best tracking, or longevity to be used for years.

I'm completely new to this and unfortunately the "safe" option of going with the Valve Index isn't available in my country, the HTC Vive has like 5 different options ranging from affordable to pretty damn expensive, and then there's the Oculus Rift and its various different versions which I also don't know about.

I'm also looking to do more than just hang out in VRChat and play things like Half-Life Alyx and Serious Sam in VR, but I'm afraid of getting something that doesn't have the best "feel" when actually playing games.
