I think this sounds a lot like a "back in my day" kinda comment you'd hear from someone that's really averse to something different. Arizona Sunshine is one of the coolest games I've ever played and, even though it's not 80 hours long, is amazing for something running on 1st gen hardware. I can't wait to see what happens with VR in the future and would gladly play games with dual controllers and standing.
It's a comment and personal opinion from someone who works with the technology and has first hand experience. Make of that what you will.
I'd like a completely immersive experience, but current VR simply can't offer that.
To get there, full body tracking is required so that controllers are not needed anymore, and some kind of treadmill that allows you to walk in VR while physically staying in the same position, to avoid running into walls, having to re-adjust the connectors etc.
And even then, holding an object in VR when your hands are really empty or holding a controller feels weird.
