VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it (www.pcgamer.com)

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.

The one I want to play is HL:Alyx

HL: Alyx is legit good.

I just can’t justify buying a whole rig just of r one game.

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.
