I’m with you. Wearing those headsets sucks. There are experience that make it worth it, though, at least for moderate stints. It’ll never replace normal gaming on a flat screen because it’s just so damn inconvenient, but it is a cool technology, and it won’t get any better if we just write it off completely

VR is, in my opinion, only suitable for games in which your character is stationary. Flight Sims, or Racing Games for example. There's no way current tech works with the ability to move in 3D space. It's why you either have lame-ass teleport mechanics, or something like Golem which traded speed and realism for comfort and control.

There's a reason why Half Life Alyx, the supposed 'best VR game ever made', still has a teleport mechanic, and when you do move you have to walk very very slowly.
