Nausea in GTAIV

I recently had a friend ask me about becoming nauseated while playing GTAIV, and it got me to thinking....I do.

I never realized it during the first weeks when I played the game a lot, but one of the main reasons I never beat the game was because I get headaches from playing it -- extended periods actually leave me very nauseated and sick. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is about the game, but something about it doesn't sit well with me despite the fact that it's a great game.

On a side note--the drunk driving aspect is sort of ridiculous. I understand you're drunk...but STILL--I get sick from moving around drunk for just a few minutes in the game, whereas in real life it's a lot more manageable.

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else gets bad headaches or motion sickness from playing GTAIV, as I've had multiple friends talk to me about it since then.

Now that think about it I kinda did. I honestly didnt play the game a whole lot but still. I mean I think its that stupid bloom effect they use..

the game gave me a headache after a while too, i just got bored with it after a while though, didn't even get half way through.americahellyeah

ROFL, I think I finished even less than that. Also, when and where did epic fail get popular? Ha, I picked it up in Warcraft III: Frozen Throne about a month ago. Was just curious.

Exactly.
