Yeah, it was amazing. I still haven't bought the expansion since I only play the game in VR and there was so much reason not to buy it for VR. They have fixed some of it, but even if the original game isn't really ruined at all, it's just tough to play now knowing the expansion is out there. So it kinda tainted the whole game even if technically nothing changed for me.

I still have no idea why they decided not to do VR for the on-foot stuff. I don't know if it was just a cost cutting measure, or if there was some problem they couldn't sort out. If it was for motion sickness reasons, like not being able to support teleport to move or something, they should probably know motion sickness susceptible people already couldn't really play the rest of the game. There were some parts that worked ok, their VR demo was ok for most people, but alot of the actual game wasn't. And even with all the motion sickness reduction options on, driving the SRV didn't go well for any people I know with motion sickness issues. If it was motion controls they couldn't support, we have plenty of games with face aim, sure it's not ideal, but it's still an upgrade from flat games.
