I have to admit, about the only thing that's really looked appealing to me as far as VR goes is Tabletop Simulator. The concept seems really cool. I haven't tried it, but looking at it, my guess in reality it's a bit awkward to use and probably ends up being more frustrating than fun.

Current VR just seems not quite immersive enough to feel real or worth using for most things but slightly too immersive so that it ends up being unnerving after a while.

The lack of tactile stimulation doesn't help either. I think if they could come up with some kind of gloves that could simulate pressure and touch, that worked reliably as controllers, VR would become more popular.
