Move-y games hurts my head

| particularly shooters, it makes me sick...

what should i do? i like shooters...


| Keep playing until the pain's gone


| Focus on the crosshair. Having a fixed point of reference for your sight helps a lot with gaming related nasuea. I've been playing shooters for two decades and games with no crosshairs still makes me sick.


| Racing games like F-Zero, WipEout, GRIP/Rollcage & Redout would definately make yiu loose your lunch g/u/rl...

Try to foucus on a fixed certain point, however that may now work for certain games like Destiny, Halo or Killing Floor where your eyes would be looking around for opponents or enemies.

Beat case is try to get attuned to it, otherwise ifyour not great with it I would recommend taking special anti-motion sickness pills.


| I frankly don't understand how people get sick playing shooters, I've been playing 'em for almost 20 years now and never had a issue.

You probably don't have severe motion sickness. While I never have had too much issues with video games, I die from a few minutes in a car, and VR can fuck me in longer sessions.


| Also the obvious ones are turn off motion blur and anything that is similar to "head boggle while moving" after that all of any issues I might have are gone


| I used to be a CS player, then I moved to Halo, and more recently like 4 years ago Osu! because dayum I like clicking circles...
I always had a headache after some hours of play, sometimes earlier.
I avoid it by drinking a lot of water, and don't forget to not stay in the same position for too long. That's actually not good for blood circulation...
Never had motion sickness tho!


| >>403050 Yeah, good advice. Turning off head bobbing, motion blur and depth of field(if the game implemented it poorly) will help as well as lowering the graphics for a smooth high fps.

Other than that ginger root helps against car sickness. Maybe try to incorporate it into your diet or make tea of it before traveling and gaming? You can also buy ginger extract in capsule form.


| >>402876 VR games get me fucked up, I literally can't play them


| >>403067 ugh, Wolfenstein had the most obnoxious head bobble, something about that and the FOV (neither of which you could change -_-) made me sick after about 1.5-2 hours...still 100% acheivements tho ;) I fuckin love that game


| I knew a guy that has that issue. He get motion sickness from certain games. Apparently ginger pills help


| Oh, >>1d3ca7 already recommended some ginger


| >>403419 S.T.A.L.K.E.R's head bob is so bad it got me motion sickness in less than a minute, thank god there are mods to fix these issues though.
