I consider myself a fan of virtual reality. I've been following the news and playing with any VR device I could get my hands on since Sega and Nintendo were talking about it in the early 90s. I was excited to finally get my hands on the newest generation of VR technology several years ago, around the launch of The Rift DK2. since that time I've used every major piece of VR Hardware with the exception of the new ones from Google and Oculus. I had a lot of fun with them, But I don't consider any of them game-changing.

I've said on here before that my greatest virtual reality experience was watching a live boxing match on gear VR. Even with the low resolution, because boxing takes place in a very small area, that was it extremely enjoyable experience. it was around that same time that I basically lost interest in the Current VR tech for gaming. As others have said here, I just don't think the technology is there yet. More importantly though, My whole outlook on VR has changed. If I had to place a bet, I would say that VR is not going to make it Beyond Niche status for gaming, at least for the next couple decades. But, I think would a couple more leaks in resolution, it may become more mainstream for viewing video, especially Sports. I have 25 year fan of the tech, I truly hope it catches on. And I truly believe that gaming is not it's greatest strength.
