What games did you try with it?
Personally no games but I do use real vr equipment in work for drilling wells before they are actually drilled, but as far as gaming goes lots of companies have tried over the years to make a gaming version of vr & all have failed. Don't get me wrong here Oculus Rift DK2 is a nice piece of kit but its not & will never be mainstream therefore it wont make money as hardly anybody will buy it so it will disappear in time. They will have to sell millions of headsets for it to be mainstream but this wont happen.

Well if you get a chance you should give it a try. Lots of gaming companies tried VR in the past but the tech just wasnt there, mobile technology has reduced the components significantly and reduced the cost of accelerometers, magnetometers and screens. Plus consumer grade gfx cards are now at a level where you can render VR stereoscopic views at smooth framerates. Its a convergence of technologies thats allowing it to happen. As for it being mainstream, thats a ways off in the same vein of gaming on phones not being mainstream until the iphone came along. Its intended for gaming and the DK2 is currently at acceptable levels for that and extremely immersive, all it needs is a higher resolution screen for it to be absolutely perfect for cockpit games and that will happen in the next year or so. Until the problem of interacting with your hands in an environment is resolved it will remain for the moment better suited to cockpits, plus theres tonnes of other issues like haptic feedback, walking etc. It'll get there eventually, for the likes of oldies, kids etc. to be using it regularly it will need to be the size of sunglasses and have AR, thats not going to happen for a long time, personally i couldnt care about that as im happy even if its mostly used in cockpit games. I can see it selling millions in a few years but it needs AAA games and more professional experiences.

I've been playing with DK2 for a while now, love it as experience but can't get past the motion sickness. Especially with Alien Isolation it's sooo bad. 10 minutes tops ...

Have you many hours done on it? it takes a while for some people to get used to it. Alien Isolation or any game that uses a controller to move your perspective is the worst type of game to play on the Rift. Ive had DK1 and 2, it doesnt make me sick but if i move fast left and right in quick sucession several times it would feel off. Play Elite: Dangerous, it will blow your socks off and no motion sickness :banana::banana::banana: Assetto Corsa is another great one and no motion sickness either. Euro Truck sim is good but can suffer from judder( have to disable timewarp in config in latest patch to remove judder )

Another reason why VR will never be mainstream, wait until the lawsuits start in the states.
