Current Events > Anyone else experience motion sickness from some games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's very unpleasant.

In related news: Dishonored 2 seems like a game I'd enjoy, but this has me worried
---

rarely but when I do its pretty awful
---

I can't play Super Mario Galaxy because of that. So far it's just those though.
---

Mass Effect 3 gave me motion sickness and serious headaches, eventually it passed but I had to play the game in 20 min intervals with 10 min breaks for a while.
---

i don't get motion sickness. even with VR games.
though i have played some not so appealing ones

ie Dying: Reborn and Unearthing Mars. maybe after criminal girls i can look into my vault to pick something about (maybe pixel gear is a possibility).

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, had to use the console commands to move the camera back.

First person-ish gives me motion sickness, and that was too close to it. >.<

Never from games, but I'm mostly a console gamer that sits far away from TV, and when I do play on the PC it's mostly RTS's and side scrollers.

I do get occasional motion sickness when the NHL has that stupid moving camera that they have in their All Star Game and outdoor games, though.
---

I like to gratuitously roll around in the Descent games and that can make for some queasy moments.
---

Only once. When I got Elebits for the wii playing it made me extremely ill, I had to return the game it got that bad.
---

As I got older, first person shooters give me motion sickness
---

halflife 2 for pc gave me this. couldnt play.

farcry 3 gave me (but when I changed fov it was fine and a great game).
---

Metroid Prime, Portal and Minecraft have all given me motion sickness at one time or another.

The teleporting thing in the original feels like it would fuck with someone that has it. I've never experienced it so I donno what affects people with it

I get a headache whenever I don't turn off motion blur and similar shit.
30fps is also cancer.

i cant play the first 2 gears games anymore for this reason

When I first played Star Wars: SOTE on N64 as a 6 or 7 year old, the first mission (flying around in a snowspeeder) gave me horrible motion sickness.

Now I'm playing Starfighter Assault in Battlefront 2 and spinning(it's a good trick) and boosting and dodging asteroids and shit at high speeds and it's amazing
---

Metroid Prime gave me minor motion sickness. Bioshock Infinite almost made vomit. I don't know if I'll ever beat it.

Not motion sickness, but in GTA V if I fall without a parachute, I get a brief uneasiness for a second as my character falls to his death.

When FOV is set far too low on some PC games.
---

It's only happened with early-mid 3d playstation games like Kingsley the fox and the Spyro series. It makes both unplayable to me. It's worse with Spyro.
---

Yeah low FOV can give you motion sickness.

I actually have that issue, but it's the other way around.

I've been playing Counter-Strike ever since 2000.
When the 16:9 monitors appeared, I started playing in 4:3 stretched.
CSGO released and I still kept playing in 4:3 stretched.

I just can't go back. After playing thousands of hours on that aspect ratio, turning it back to 16:9 just gives me a headache, because things just aren't right.
The angles, the perspective, etc.

So would increasing FOV help me get through Bioshock Infinite maybe?

I would definitely increase it. Also, it may be necessary to manually increase the available range as the game defaults to 70 degrees and goes up to about 80. So do this:

Using Notepad, open the file XUserOptions.ini located in:

%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config\

Locate and the line MaxUserFOVOffsetPercent=15.000000 and change value to 100.

Note that this value is in percent and not degrees. To get a FOV of around 90 put in a value of 28.5 and slide to max.

Literally all the time.

I'm playing Dragon Age: Inquisition today and it makes me ill.

Oof. Yeah, I had issues with that one. There are worse games, but that got rough at times

Alright I'll try that, thanks
