Does VR relax you like other forms of gaming?
I get variations of this question a lot. People asking if it is worth playing in VR because you usually aren't sitting down like you would be in other gaming scenarios. The big ask here is whether we're ok with not sitting down, if it's the same kind of fun or the same kind of relaxing when you aren't slouched back on the couch.
For me, the answer is yes. I still game at my own pace, I can sit if I really absolutely must, and the games I am playing are offering me plenty of distraction and mental wind down from the events of the day. I don't play quite as long as I would camped out on the couch, both because the games aren't as long in VR yet and there is a physical component that can tire you in more intense games, but unless I'm doing something crazy like playing hardcore mode in AudioShield I don't feel like VR tires me out or anything.
That said, I work from home and sit most of the day. What about all of you? Does VR relax you? Are you cool with being off the couch after a long day?
