Playing video games makes me sick

Why do some people experience the symptoms of motion nausea after just 30 minutes of gaming activity?

For some people it's the field of view. Console shooters these days seem to be set at around 65 degrees, which results in a weird, zoomed-in view that can be disorienting and uncomfortable when turning rapidly. I don't know exactly why developers recently have been seemingly hell-bent on enforcing this FOV on us all (probably for teh l337 sn1p3rz), humans naturally have 95 degree "outward" FOV (the way it's measured in most games) and this is how shooters should be presented in an ideal world. Most PC FPS games, before the plague that is consolitis took hold, were set to 90 degrees by default, which, according to many, helps resolve this issue.

U might be on to something there that maybe it. I get it playing pc which is mostly fps i dont play pc that much though. I also get it on consoles and its usually a fps or a game with terrible controls and games with motion blur when i can tell there is motion blur it almost always happens. Never got to the pont of throwng up though just a headache. Some fps are fine though

lol cod in the background I agree playing cod makes me sick too I feel much better playing battlefield

hazelamy4529d ago

i've never had that with any of the COD games, the few i've played.

i did with Mirror's edge though, also marathon on xbla, and weirdly doom on ps1.

i can understand with Mirror's Edge, but doom and marathon?

i still haven't finished Mirror's Edge because of it.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher48d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris48d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera48d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii48d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts48d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX47d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos48d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast48d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
