Does anyone bother playing the VR missions?

So I decided to dp a few VR missions and they are rather tediuos and boring. Also can be frustrating too. I was thinking about skipping them unless I want to simply get some more points to upgrade stuff. I will probably just play the story mode and the dlc. Do anyone else do the VR mssions? What do you think of them?

some are a bit boring but if youre looking for extra challenges they can be pretty great

I've done them on the PS3 and on PC for the achievements. I think I still need to get the golds for Blade Wolf's VR missions though.

The VR missions suck. They're based purely on time, pushing for the player to find the fastest way to get through a situation rather than the most efficient way. Given that the main game scores you on a point system where time is only one factor out of several, it feels totally counter-intuitive to suddenly have to throw all of that out the window. The VR missions themselves are either boring or purely frustrating. Several of the VR missions get so difficult, they each took me several hours. This is largely due to the poor camera and inconsistent results with enemy AI behavior, making learning a pattern very time consuming and based on being lucky enough that they actually do what you want them to do.
