You know, I have no problems finishing Occulus when I'm playing solo. I'm trying to figure out why they are going through such extremes to get people to do it.

I mean, the vehicle idea was novel, but they should really take the hint and realize no one wants to deal with marginalizing their playstyle to play with a 3 button contraption or other.

Vehicles are a novelty, not a core mechanic. All Occulus and EoE really demonstrate is that no one likes being dumped in to these sorts of encounters.
