Think of VR as it exists today, as the leading edge of a vast new experience, that will continue to unfold for years to come.
What we have now is simply the first generation, thats mainly focused on early adopters. Remember the first video cards? Really limited, expensive and mainly for early adopters.
Now, compare what we had then, to something like the Nvidia 1080...^^ I suspect VR will advance much faster than video cards did.

All I can say is try it before dismissing it as crap... I believe some Microsoft stores are demoing the Vive and some Best Buys are demoing the Rift and PS:VR in the States. I know there are retailers in various other countries running demos as well.
As for the HMD's themselves they definitely have a ways to go. The tracking, on the Vive anyways, is great but higher resolution will be really nice. Foveated rendering at 4k+ with eye tracking is the future assuming the cost comes down to something reasonable.

Sooo much this...
Simulation sickness is basically caused by the discrepancy between what your eyes and inner ear tells you is happening, and VR will enhance the visual sense of motion even further than what we have now, which will increase the chance of simulation sickness. Some game types will be enriched by magnitudes from the implementation of VR, but until we can tell our inner ear, that our bodies are going through the motions shown in the headset, playing certain games with VR may easily have you dump your latest meal on the keyboard.
