Does anyone suffer from motion sickness playing video games?

[GisherJohn24]

I honestly have a problem. It's not to the point where I can't play, but over a long duration, I have to stop. Horror games, first person, dark games, and even shooters, I can get motion sickness. Playing in the dark makes me sick too. It's very frustrating being such a fan of video games. I've tried supplements, drinking more water helps a little, but in the end, I just gotta deal I guess!

I wouldn't call it "motion sickness", but staring at a 30 FPS (or less) game with a lot of screen movement (think FPS's and such, sometimes racing games with a high sense of speed), gets difficult for me after a while.

60 FPS doesn't really bother me - I can play those for hours without a problem.

Yeah. I think it's just me. I have trouble sitting in back of cars, planes, boats, etc... It's no fun though. I threw up playing a game back in the day. I wont' get into details.

I only have problems when playing first person shooters. The only FPS I can play that doesn't bother me is Destiny.

Original Prey was a puke machine for me.
Usually I'm ok but a few times it's hit me.

If I play Rock Band or Guitar Hero for a long time then look at a wall, it looks wavy.

Otherwise, no motion-sickness. 30 FPS stands out more than ever now, though.

FPS games used to give me motion sickness way back when (like seriously, almost vomiting), but I think it's something your senses grow accustomed to over time. I haven't felt that way for years now.

Some of these low field of view fps, strong head bobbing, motion blur, or shaky camera movement will cause me to get sick. Half life made me very sick.

I do. Sometimes with 3rd person games specifically Dead rising and The Last of Us. Last night i got a bad headache and was nauseous after playing COD WW2.

Doom on N64 was the reason i stopped playing FPS games because i would always get a headache. Titan Fall was the first FPS game i played few years back since N64.

Low framerates and slow response times give me motion sickness. I have a plasma tv and a 144hrz 1ms monitor. Helps a lot.

FYI, my roommate was dating a girl who got motion sick on any tv or monitor she had tried before, but she could watch TV on my plasma for hours. Said it was the only thing she could it on.

Unfortunately plasma TVs are hard to find. They are the superior technology, but lost market share to LCD due to a stigma from the first generation of machines. Image burn in was ruining plasma TVs. It was a problem that was quickly fixed, but by the time it was everyone had the impression that buying a Plasma was just throwing money away. I've had a plasma for about 9 years, and it only has extremely slight image burn in that is only visible when the scene is entirely white. It's so slight that I have to be looking closely to really see it.

I strangely don't get sick on 3rd person games as weird as that sounds. I can play a game like Last of Us, Tomb Raider for hours and never budge. 1st person is def my issue... very odd though. I think maybe because yu'r focusing more on your character maybe and not the moving screen???

Re: Does anyone suffer from motion sickness playing video games?

I got that way when I first started playing battlefield 1....i could only play few minutes and it would kick in.

Now I guess my bodies used to it because I can play that game for hrs and nothing happens.

Now when I was younger just watching games like doom with all quick movement and I'd be heading for bathroom lol.

Yeah. Doom definitely does it to me too!
