VR is amazing. But the nausea, motion sickness, and disorientation that come with it are not. My opinion on VR changed for the worse after getting PSVR2.

For a lot of people, VR's main problem is not something that advanced technology can solve. Being "too immersive" is a double-edged sword that may -at least initially- do unpleasant things to your mind. If you have the patience to torture yourself and train your mind, then you are in for something truly incredible.

Myself and a couple of friends who tried my PSVR2 felt the same way. A few minutes in RE7 and GT7 VR fucked me up. For two whole days, I pretty much felt like "Rayman"... my limbs didn't feel right anymore, as if they were detached and didn't really belong to me. If I hadn't done some research and prepared myself for the worst, I would have freaked out.

I still think VR has a place in the future, and I'm sure Nintendo will experiment with it and do incredible things. But I don't know if it'll ever truly be mainstream, precisely because it's too immersive for its own good.

It’s not for everyone, and some people experience what you did.

VR gives me none of those issues, luckily enough.

And the phenomenon of motion-sickness is adaptable for most too really. Doing it once can lead to it sure, but like anything, if you do more often, your body will acclimate to it and manage it like second nature at some point.

When I did my first few VR games. I couldn't stand more than 30 min. for différents reasons. But now I can do it for 2 hours quite easily.
