It's not VR that makes it a mediocre shooter. Comparing it to extremely high budget shooters isn't "insert random fps"...
Some things work much better in FarPoint.
Aiming through the sights is very natural and easy to do.
It's much easier to quickly aim between multiple targets or shoot one way while checking another direction, some of the boss encounters will be much harder without VR plus AIM as well as the timed challenges.
Hiding behind cover is completely natural, no problem with sticky or auto cover as in traditional shooters.
It's also much easier to shoot from cover, around the side, over the top, through cracks. You can peer through a crack while holding the gun over your head to shoot.
The walking speed is indeed dumbed down, hopefully devs will come over the fear of motion sickness and stop limiting movement for those that are accustomed to VR. Yet what you get extra in complete control over the gun and usage of cover already makes it a much better way to play shooters. AZ Sunshine with the AIM controller is pretty good already.

I am saying IF you took VR functions of Farpoint away it would be considered a "bad" FPS. I know its not fair to do that to the game because that is the point. But the point I am making is it is/would be considered to be a subpar shooter.
With all of this said I do own Farpoint with the Aim controller and it probably is my favorite VR game to date. But in no way does it compare to any of the other games I have mentioned. (Same goes for Rigs)
Just as one last bit, I think you guys are throwing me under an anti-VR bus. I am not. If you enjoy it that is fine. But I am making a prediciton that the mass market will never be deeply appealed by it.

In China the mass market has adapted to it already..VR is everywhere in arcades on the streets. Not sure why but in the west people are just way more hesitant concerning this new tech...it will definitely take some time but more people need to try it first and the prices need to come down a bit more.
