I saw the title of this post and thought of ToF right away! I was an amateur boxer for a year and had a few fights and thought ToF was an excellent workout, and something I’d incorporate if I was still boxing (and if VR didn’t make me sick as a dog).
Did your previous experiences with VR involve something where your in-game movement wasn’t one-to-one with your actual movement (e.g. where you could move your character by pushing forward on an analog stick, rather than by walking)? It’s pretty rare for VR games with one-to-one movement (like Beat Saber and TotF) to cause motion sickness, so if your previous sickness was in a non-one-to-one game it may be worth giving VR another shot with a more comfortable game.
Yeah, that makes sense. ToF itself didn’t make me sick—it was other games, like the nightmare PUBG-like VR shooter where you start by parachuting to a place on the ground, and the Walking Dead VR shooter. I would probably be fine if I restricted the games I played, but I wanted to play alllll the games, and returned my headset when I couldn’t.
