Poll of the Day > Has a headache ever ruined any games for you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Has having a headache ever ruined a game for you causing you to flush a game and stop playing it entirely?

Games that I flushed because of headaches. Nioh, Psychonauts, Transformers Devastation.

It wasnt necessarily the games that gave me headaches. It was more like I started to play those games while I already had a headache.

Like for Nioh, I was enjoying it a lot, but then one day I started to play with a headache and I havent touched that game in over a year since. I want to go back and finish it, but I feel like Im going to have to start from the beginning because I probably forgot how to play it by now.

Recently I started replaying Transformers Devastation again and I am having a blast though.

No. I've strained my eyes and gotten headaches that have ruined gaming sessions, but not the entire game.

Not any games in particular no

Ive had bad headaches though where I didnt want to play games at all though

I know what you're talking about kind of, I had a fever dream where I was stuck in Minecraft and I didn't play Minecraft for 3 months.

Astrobot: Rescue Mission

I got a PlayStation VR for Star Wars Squadrons. It was really fun and I could handle it, so I tried the demo. I could still handle it and I really liked Astrobot so I bought it.

Turns out I could only handle a few levels before I got a serious migraine, more than once even (yes I even limited my play time after the first migraine). The game is great but I can barely play it. :(

Men in Black: Alien Escape gave me diarrhea

I can't play games with a headache. When it's gone ill continue to play.

Games that feature some combination of being first person, fast paced and having a narrow FoV give me headaches after playing for a few minutes. I've had to put down several games over the years because of it, mostly recently the new Doom games.

Nope. I have what can only be described as head pressure most the time anyway. The only thing that gives me a break from it is alcohol or when I'm fully distracted.

---

not really, but now that I think of it, one exception: the Virtual Boy

---

A session, sure. The game, no.

I don't get the gag here.
