I don't get motion sickness from games, but I do believe that over time the mental disconnect between using a controller to move my virtual self without physically moving has had some sort of subtle effect on my real balance. I think it made me more reliant on my eyes for balance.

I'm not sure how plausible that is.

I get motion sick on some games. Rage didn't bother me, but a lot of Valve games do. I had problems with all of the games in the Orange Box.

change your FOV (if on comp)

I remember you telling me that last time I talked about it. Unfortunately I'm not... Frown

The cruel irony of life is when you have the money to buy all the games you want, you don't have the time to play them.

Already done. Not sure how far, but far enough back that I have more than enough room to go to the farthest end of the Kinect playing field (which I think is 8 feet?).

what size and style of TV do you use? it's possible your TV is enhancing the motion sickness. you might want to test gaming on a smaller TV or turning off all the extra "motion blur" "gaming settings" etc. etc.

i personally use a 26" TV and i sit around 6' away from the screen. this way the entire screen is in my field of view without needing to move my eyes around excessively.

hit the front page twice now. better than winning a game of bingo.

I normally don't experience nausea while gaming. Every once I will, but it typically subsides quickly.

The only game that consistently makes me so dizzy that I can't even stand up is the campaign Medal Of Honor 2010. (Different developer for SP; DICE did MP.)

I can't play it for more than a few minutes.

Xigmatek S1283 CPU cooler
