I never did VR in any capacity. I just felt like the peripherals were too expensive for the limited library.

I figured it would be Nintendo who would be the ones to release a fully VR console eventually and finally flip that switch but seems like they’re bearish on it too

I think the fact that SOME people get nauseous is a big issue for the whole genre.

The absurd thing is that it even depends on the game. I’ve initially tried without any problems the crappy phone vr with… the iPhone 5s, I think? Then the first PS VR on a base PS4, and titles known to upset people like EVE Valkyrie and Drive Club had no effect on me. “Comfort settings” typically meant just blinding me without a reason. Then, 20 minutes of Arizona Sunshine… and I wasn’t able to stomach the thought of vr for almost a year.
