I've been using my quest 2 for about a week. I though there would be more of a 'woah' moment but the novelty wore off in hours. I think, with everything that's going on, I'm just depressed and numb to almost all experiences and so nothing really registers anymore.
I played a few horror games, expecting to at least get a scare in the virtual world, but I was just totally numb to it. Says more about my mental state than the state of VR I think. Though I think the discomfort of the headset does ruin things a bit. The quest 2 default foam face plate is absolute garbage and it becomes an exercise in tolerating that discomfort within 10 minutes of playing. I have a new cover on order, that's supposed to be significantly more comfortable, so hopefully that'll allow me to play longer and actually put my full attention into the game.
That said, I played a little bit of Alyx, over VD and felt genuinely immersed for the first time. Perhaps it's just the lack of graphical fidelity in the Quest 2 standalone library and actually playing PC VR titles will be way more immersive going forwards but I'll have to wait for the link cable to assess that (VD is full of issues on my end so wireless streaming is a no go for now).

I was also expecting motion sickness but have experienced absolutely 0 in any circumstances. I'm zooming around in games up and down stuff etc... And nothing.
What is the most noticeable thing is the sort of derealisation or whatever it is when I take the headset off after playing for a few hours. It's fucking weird it's like my hands don't belong to me or don't register right. Brushing my teeth feels weird even. Walking about feels weird, like I'm still in VR to some degree. It has lessened over time but still, actual real life feels very surreal and almost fake after coming out of the headset.
