Motion sickness when playing first person games (mini train)

I can relate, I feel the same when playing certain first person games.
Bioshock Infinite, for example, gave me a particularly hard headache in the last level.

I got reaaally sick iwth Mirro's Edge, and there was this other kind of a FPS with cavemen, I don't remember the name, Clahs something, thatm ade me fucking sick too.

The thing is I odnt get seasick I can read in cars, trains buses etc. So I dunno

I have problem with Mirror's Edge as well, but thats because Im afraid of height.

The first time I died of gravity was a biggest scare in a videogame for me ;____;

I get motion sickness if there is head bobbing in a FPS, so I always turn that setting off if it exists. I get seasick very easily when I'm on a boat which sucks pretty hard.

It's weird, I don't get motion sickness unless I get stuck. So I could be playing Mirror's Edge for hours straight with no problem, but as soon as I get stuck (don't know where to go), I'll start feeling nauseous. Same with Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Actually, same with any game that involves a singleplayer campaign. If I get stuck, I get nauseous.

i can't play more than 5 minutes of portal without dramamine or some other anti-nausea motion sickness meds. something about about the realistic walking motion and center crosshairs. best relief i've found is to play other games, or limit playtime sessions to less than 30 minutes (or when the drugs wear off).

I haven't experienced sickness really, but I get a headache when the field of view is so small like in many FPS. I prefer the 3rd person view. Thanks for the train!

It's a common issue that's not really restricted to first person games. Certain camera movement patterns, angles, color combinations and filters cause this. I personally encountered this in games so diverse as, say, Remember Me, South Park: Stick of the Truth, and even League of Legends before they updated their graphics.

I used to get headaches when I played fps games when I was younger. I don't know if I'd call it motion sickness though.

Half Life 2 anyone?

I never got motion sickness in any game until now, so I can't really say much, but a friend mine has motion sickness and he said was probably 'cause he sits too close to monitor... could this be your case?
sorry poor english

I've never had a problem with first-person games, but give me some screen shake (be it in sidescrollers or top-down games) and I start feeling sick and immediately get headaches-- go figure ^^

Mmmhhh, specific problem with certain genres? Yeah, I find sports games really boring.

Got motion sickness playing Jazzpunk but only one level.

Yup a lot of games. Last one was Pulse :p

I play lots of FPS but I get motion sickness when playing Portal.

The worst game for me is Dead Island. I feel dizzy, sick and my head feels like it will explode anytime. I bought Definitive Edition hoping that is was "fixed", but it's the same thing. ;-;

I Stop playing CS and other high motion FPS games because of this issue >.<

I used to have motion sickness when playing racing games or games that had races with vehicles, but I stopped playing them (didn't like races with vehicles anyway), so I stopped having this problem after a while.

I actually get motion sick playing Minecraft. I'm not even kidding.

On the contrary, I handle FPS games fairly fine. I could do L4D2 for up to 12 hours.

I've been unable to complete mirror's edge because of that, I can barely play Doom (the 1993 one) and I don't know why but I'm also sick when I play Dear Esther. I've been a little sick the first couple hours playing Borderlands 2 but I got used to it and playyed 50 more hours without problem. I think sometimes you just need to train your brain a little.

Bump and meow. No motion sickness here, but sorry for you - must be frustrating!

The only game I've experienced this so far is with The Talos Principle, which is a shame since I really wanted to play it. People suggested certain changes to the settings but nothing I tried alleviated it. D:
