Sounds to me like a reason VR is not actually objectively the best way to play.

Sounds like you’ve never played in VR… which is okay. It’s a high barrier to entry. It’s insane, though. I’ve got an index and my mate has a VR treadmill and an index and it’s absolute insanity.

At this point you couldn't pay me to use VR. It has had many years to prove that it is just objectively a gimmick without any sensible way to use it for the majority of games and where you can technically use it the UI just sucks. Meanwhile many other games have proven that you just don't need VR for immersion, its main claim to usefulness.

Some VR games are really great. Skyrim VR is definitively NOT one of those.
