FPS games make me sick

I currently own only 2 shooters, mainly because the 360 is my first console thats not Nintendo (I haven't played metroid prime). Those 2 shooter I own are Halo 2 and Call of Duty 2 (I don't want to start playing a series until I played a few of its prequels). Well, after play Halo 2 for over and hour, I start feeling light headed. I just recently got Call of Duty 2, and I started to feel light headed after only 30 minutes of playing! Has anyone else gotten light headed or even get sick after playing an fps?

I'm sorry to hear that because COD2 was so much fun. I turned the volume up on my surround sound and let the bullets fly by. But have you ever looked on the back of the game box or in the instruction manuales of the games you buy? Read the health warning and that might give you a hint on why you are getting light headed. Hope that helped.

Maybe it's cos you're just not used to them.

awh that's no fun,

yeah sometimes playing videogames gives you motion-sickness

Yea at first I thought he was a troll flaming FPS games.

Yeah same here. BAsicly a half an hour of gaming for me will get me light headed and lazy.

I feel like i can't do any phisical activities at times.

But when i played castle crashers for 3 hours with my buds, i felt so addicted, and still felt energetic at the end. Weird...

yeah, you might think im lieing but you can get motion sickness from playing an fps if your screen shakes to much maybe you can just try building up a tolerance to it, or if you spin to much, or things are just very fast paced

Give it some time, you'll adjust.

I had trouble at first too.

Hmmm, It might be your TV, flashing lights, or something else, but I doubt its a game genre that cuases it.

If you play any thing for more then two hours then your eyes should hurt

No, it only happens when I play an FPS, but anything else is fine.

Well sorry to tell you but FPS games aren't made any differently then any other game besides the first person view. Maybe you just aren't good with fast paced action, who knows.

Its the first person view with intense fast paced action that makes me lightheaded. Well, I'm just getting used to the genre.

The COD series are great. I don't know why you would get light headed. It's just a video game.

it varies from people to person to person. Some people I know get nauseous just by looking at a FPS, but nowdays FPS games tend to do that less. I used to feel very nauseous with old FPS games (like doom, quake...), but nowdays shooters like Halo 3, and COD4 are great, I feel nothing but excitement.

the only one i have heard a little bit about has been i think the hovercraft sequence in half life 2, something about it narrows the vision by removing too much of the peripheral

My eyes never hurt. Anyway the last time i got motion sickness was from a star wars game on the N64 but it was my own fault i was already dizzy beforehand and i was eating my lunch.

Only the original killzone made me dizzy
