I nearly always play in VR unless I'm in the SRV. But yesterday I was expecting a parcel delivery so opted to play flatscreen to maintain maximal situational awareness of my real world surroundings.
I couldn't do it. Oh, I could still fly my spaceship, but felt so detached from events that I made stupid mistakes - not noticing a ship scan and so failing to deploy a heat sink left me with a dissatisfied passenger that cost me ten million credits. Failing to check for incoming traffic before leaving the mailslot in my Beluga was also expensive.
Do other VR players get the same sense of disconnection if they find themselves playing for whatever reason on a flatscreen?
