Why virtual reality makes a lot of us sick, and what we can do about it.

    I haven’t touched my VR headset and over a year. VR games just are not good and have very little contents and very little replayability. What I’m trying to say is it’s still very much a gimmick.

          It suffer quite a bit from being “baby’s first VR game”, it’s extremely basic and completely lacking in any interesting mechanics. If it’s your first VR game, it will feel amazing, if you already played other VR games it will feel like a serious downgrade in a lot of areas. Even compared to Half Life 2 it feels like a downgrade, as there is just much less to do in Alyx, less guns, no vehicles, more linear, smaller environments. It’s a great looking game, but the mechanics are just extremely limited due to the focus on teleport.

      It’s well suited for anything where you’re seated, eg racing sims, flight sims, euro truck sim etc.

      If you’ve got any interest at all in those genres give it another try and it’ll be hard if not possible to go back. Digital Combat Sim in VR is a whole nother game.

      Other than that I agree. Just a gimmick and I don’t see the way forward.
