Anyone have motion sickness when they play certain games?

[Chris]

Most older games make me nauseous. I can't revisit the majority of my PS1 favourites anymore, and it's also happened with some DS titles. Most first person games also tend to effect me.

Mostly games with moving water. Sims 3 gets me really bad when I have sims out on boats.

Most 3DS/DS games don't really bother me, since the screen is pretty small, just as long as I don't turn on the 3D switch. I don't even know why they added it if it doesn't look 3D anyways....

Some xbox 360 and pc games do bother me though, like terraria. When you move around and mine stuff, sometimes just how the backdrop and the blocks move at the same time in different directions gives me motion-sickness.

It wasn't motion sickness, but I remember not being able to play Tetris Party Deluxe on the Wii for long because it'd make my eyesight go all weird and stuff. I've been fine playing any other game except for that.

I doubt this is motion sickness, but I can't play on my 3DS/phone for long while I'm in a car/bus/whatever or I'll feel uncomfortable. Not nauseous, just really uncomfortable.

I used to get it pretty bad which ruined gaming for me for a while, but it ended up being from a medication I was taking so I when I stopped taking it I was fine again. :/

This is a HUGE problem on PC. I get a bit of motion sickness when I'm playing a first person game at a low Field of View. A ton of PC games have bad habits of not including one. >.>

Sorta, I feel kinda nauseous when the 3D is turned on. I usually only get motion sickness when I'm on a swing or something.

I've never really experienced any kind of motion sickness or headaches from playing games(besides due to fatigue, which has been extremely rare, too). O:

This is called simulation sickness, I've actually been doing a little bit of research on it, since I've been having a problem with first person games as well. It seems to be a form of motion sickness. Extra Credits did a video on it to suggest some tips.

I was also looking through my college's library database, and found one article on it. Basically, it said that simulation sickness is found more often in girls than guys, and it is worse during the highs and lows of your monthly hormone cycle.

Notably, I got this from Minecraft and Skyrim. Can't play either game now because I have to stop playing within 5 minutes of starting it. Lumiose City in X/Y was pretty bad too.

For some reason, Portal wasn't so bad. Probably because it was more of a focus on the puzzles than on what's going on on-screen, but I digress.

I get motion sickness when playing fps games. /: It sucks badly. I used to have a high tolerance for them when i was a console gamer, but now i just cannot play fps games for that long.

I don't really get motion sickness when playing games. It's more confusion about what I'm trying to look at when the view keeps shifting for me. Sonic Adventure was really bad at camera angles.

 

[AnnaThePolarBear]

I get motion sickness with a lot of fps games, or just first person games in general. It sucks :c
I feel like sometimes bounching your leg can help a little, or at least delay the motion sickness. Other than that you'd probably have to get one of those motion sickness bracelets or stop playing every hour or so :/

 

[piske]

I haven't found a solution. I can't play any FPS :<

Mirror's Edge used to make me feel ill after a while; still excited for the new one thoughhh

Rayman Legends has this really weird effect if you play it too long. There's this game mode where you're constantly running to see how far you can go and the screen will only scroll to the right. After extended play when you look up at the ceiling the ceiling will appear as if it's moving.

I have been getting motion sickness with PC gaming for some reason lately, it sucks because I enjoy the use of mods in games like Skyrim and The Sims and enjoy the extra freedoms of PC. I've had it happen in the past but not usually as bad, guess I'll have to stick with consoles.

Whenever I play minecraft for a long time or just 30 minutes in, I get motion sickness almost like car sickness and a headache of some sort. I rarely play it anymore since it just happens too often and I can't really play for very long! sometimes playing or watching horror games with friends or so I get sick from all the sudden jumping and fast turns,, gruhhhhh~

 

[Soot Sprite]

Minecraft makes me motion sick, so I never really played it. If it was a slower pace, I might be able to manage it but for now no thank you ;~;
