I would say try it before you buy it if you can.
It makes many people physically uncomfortable to varying degrees, myself included. Even playing for a few minutes ruins my head, so it's basically a non starter for me.
I also don't know of anyone who plays VR games for hours at a time. It's got the same problem motion control games had to a degree. It's still much more a gimmick than serious gaming IMO but some people find it extremely cool. I think people do VR games more for the new experience than the games themselves being more fun.
I would say that this is spot on. I can only play for an hour max, and then usually need to sit down for a bit after. I don't typically get nauseous easily either.
You can play using the power of your PC, and get 90FPS on games. Look up virtual desktop, and the PC streamer. There is a whole tutorial. I connect over WiFi with a WiFi6 connection. I now only buy games on Steam, and use this method of connecting. It doesn't use any of the storage on your Oculus as well.

I read a lot about this before buying my PSVR last year. I started slow , only playing about an hour or so each time. By the end of the first week I was fine. I kept the snap turning on for games where you're walking and that definitely helped.
I'm not sure if everyone is capable of adjusting but it worked for me. You can also do little things like having a fan blow on you or taking Dramamine. Apparently ginger works well for that too but I never tried it.
I'm fascinated to see where VR goes. It's obviously still pretty new but I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. After seeing how well Resident Evil translated it feels like it's perfect for the horror genre. I'm curious to see if it's ever going to be incorporated into schooling. Instead of learning about the Sistine chapel from a book you can throw on one of those cheap phone VR devices and boom, you're there.
