Some 10 or so years ago, we had Oculus Rift DK1 at work, so that's where I've tried VR for the first time...it was great, I was instantly hooked, but I had such a bad case of motion sickness after trying it for the first time that I didn't want to go anywhere near it for weeks (DK1 was still prototype, so it had lot of issues).

Two or so years later, I went to local arcade that upgraded itself with lot of HTC Vive headsets - massive difference, no motion sickness and much better experience. That was my go to place for VR for quite some time, until I decided to get Quest 2 for kids few years down the line.

So, maybe at least try it out, if you have some local VR arcade, before you decide?

I hated 3D movies effects and how it made my eyes feel, and even the 3D on the 3DS was a horrible experience to me. I'm also not a fan of wearing stuff on my head for long periods of time.

I see little appeal on having a big device on my head making me all sweaty (it's very hot 90% of the year around here), and I see it very likely making me feel tired after it because of wearing it and being possibly overwhelmed.

Playing games is a comfort to me and the current VR experience looks like a massive bother.

I had the chance to try both the PSVR and the Oculus Rift once but it was the exact month COVID really took over here and everything was starting getting closed (in fact, that very place was closed because of the pandemic the week after I was there) and tbh I was up to at least try it, but I was already very aware of putting that on my face after so many people, so I did not try it.

I'm up to trying it, but I'm pretty sure it is not for me.

Well, VR Arcades usually have disposable face cover sanitary pads for each new client...but yeah, you can't really get around sweating with current VR headsets.
