Gaming - First Person Pukers - View Post

Me and a friend who love gaming share the same curse -- we love playing first person shooters, but they make us physically sick.  We call them first person pukers.  Does anyone else get motion sickness from these types of games?

The funny thing is, with some games the effect is really bad and with others it's not all that bad and I can usually get through the games (provided I take breaks).  Duke Nukem games were OK for me.  Valve games are the worst for me.  The effect with the Half-Life games is almost instant and very bad, same for Team Fortess 2 -- even Portal gets to me.  Halo on the PC was ok.  Resistance was ok.  COD 2 and COD 3 were ok but COD 4 is a puker.  UT3, Darkness and Turok = pukers and so on . . .

I'm not commenting on the games themselves.  Some are better than others but I like them all.  I just wonder why some games effect me more than others.  By the way, third person shooters are no problem at all.
