Same for me, though a huge factor in my "re-entry" threshold is resolution. I really do enjoy VR when I get around to playing it, but all I have is presence, but in a world that not particularly beautiful. My favorite VR title is Elite: Dangerous, but while it's absolutely beautiful outside of VR, in VR it's rather....blurry. When in-VR had the detail of out-of-VR, the presence may be more meaningful. (But that'll be a while).

> in VR it's rather....blurry I wonder where the issue lies; is 1080×1200 per eye just not high enough (considering the wide FOV)? Or is it the optics? I used to play E:D on somewhat of a potato machine, and it was pretty sharp on a standard monitor, with relatively low resolution.

  It's a lot closer to your face. Your conical vision is seeing like an order of magnitude fewer pixels as when it's looking at the same resolution screen but 18" away.

    Also, if you're a serious gamer, that screen 18" away is likely to have a lot more pixels than 1080x1200.

  Yes, 1080x1200 per eye is nowhere close to high enough. I mean, sit back, look in the direction of your monitor, and estimate how large(small) part of your total view area is taken by it (for me it seems less than 1/9 for a quite large screen and 1/25 for a laptop). You'd need 1080x1200 for that central area alone.

    The difference is that your eyes have much higher "resolution" in the centre of your view compared to the peripheral vision. But your eyes move all the time, so unless you can move the screen as fast as your eyes moves, a VR headset needs to have that highest resolution across your entire field of view.

  As one of the issues with VR has been (still is to an extent) the "screen door effect" which means being able to see the gaps between the individual pixels of the displays I think it's safe to say it's the low resolution.

E:D Has always had VR issues. I think one of the tricks I've used is to downsample the game itself while upsampling the final render in SteamVR. I don't remember if it was like that or the opposite. My favorite games have been Climbey, Lone Echo and Vivecraft.
