Was just watching something related to Last of Us 2 and I get the sense that these type of games are fundamentally immersive experiences where your success is or should be based on how well you tackle the terrain so to speak. There are games where the well regarded player is judged by their manipulation of the controls and/or controller (fighting games, 1st person shooters, Dark Souls type games).
But when a game puts you in a context where it wants you to engage meaningfully, I find that the fidgety nature of the whole thing becomes an ordeal. I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I find the moving the camera around and trying to use the controls properly is too distracting and takes away from the experience.
This all aside from the fact that I have a fundamental hate for games which try to engage with youmeaningfully. Fuck off.
Maybe there isn't a way around it, but as games become ever more experiences in a virtual reality type setting, non of the systems available today seem to be of the sofistication that we are seeing in other areas.
Yes Virtual Reality headsets and controllers. Possibly some day.
