It sucks when virtual reality games don’t acknowledge your existence

One of the worst things that a virtual reality game can do is ignore you.

Facebook’s Oculus VR repeatedly touts the importance of having a sense of presence, which means tricking your brain into thinking you’re actually in another world when you put on a VR headset like the Oculus Rift. But when you’re staring that close to a screen, it doesn’t take much to break the illusion. Even if games are running perfectly with no technical issues, developers need to be mindful of design choices that can make the player feel unwanted in the virtual world.
