hambeet posted:I’ve only gotten full on motion sickness when I was a teen from playing the original Descent when it came out. I think I eventually worked out that sitting too close to the screen didn’t help, but to this day I’ve avoided all of the Descent games as it had that big of an impact. FOV changes are really like changing the lens on the camera, so the more you turn it up the more distortion you'll get to cram it all onto the image. High FOV settings are basically a fisheye, but in games it's usually rendered more like a weird stretchy tunnel where the important stuff in the middle is kinda shrunk into a small area. Maybe they were trying to make it look more like the way a real lens works? also things like high refresh rates on monitors can help with discomfort, and high frame rates - is your curved monitor part of a sick rig? baka kaba fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Aug 19, 2020 |

The problem with high vermintide is that it'll make the game bearable to play but if you go near a wall your hand just clips through it.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:I don't know what you've played, but as someone who gets motion sickness only on some games, Half Life is one of the worst and has poo poo for meaningful options to alleviate it. Portal is almost as bad and only worked because it's a puzzle game so I can play it in short bits and can choose to look away. There are a lot of other games I've had no issue with, though. I never had an issue with Thief or Dishonored or Far Cry or playing Skyrim in first person, for example. On the flipside, Rime is the only 3rd person game to give me motion sickness and I still don't know how that's possible. To be honest, Portal was probably the last first-person game I played. I made an extra effort for that since everyone raved about it so much, but I basically just peaced out of the genre after deciding the side-effects weren't worth it. There's enough other genres out there that interest me. Does Skyrim lock you into first person during the opening cart ride cutscene? It's been ages since I played and can't really remember, but I seem to recall that being a thing - I couldn't switch to third-person until after the cutscene so I spent most of it looking out my window  Dark_Swordmaster posted:One completely left field notion is that I saw a video of some girl who couldn't play VR without getting violently ill within five minutes. Turns out a CAT or MRI or something finally revealed that her sinuses in her head had been formed abnormally and it caused the issue, not just inner ear/etc. Yes it was a presumably expensive surgery to fix and I would bet that surgery money that you don't have anything similar, but I found it a fascinating cause. Interesting! I've never actually tried anything VR related, though I've got a feeling it'll affect me as well. Weirdly, I don't get any other sort of motion sickness at all - no problems on sea, in cars, on planes etc. Who knows!

I know others have worse motion sickness than I do, I just found it interesting that you used Half life and Portal as your examples since I found those to be particularly bad about motion sickness.

(i've only really started playing)

Actually since we're on the subject, the single worst bout of motion sickness I've had in recent memory (that didn't involve a car and a lack of dramamine  ) was the final stage in A Hat in Time's first DLC. The level is a cruise liner and for the big finale it naturally hits an iceberg and starts sinking. Cue platforming through the level, but the entire boat is tilted 45-75~ degrees to one side.  At least in that case it's not hard to figure out why it triggered me.

hambeet posted:just generally curious, do racing car games have the same affect? Not at all, weirdly enough. I used to play a lot of Gran Turismo way back in the day, and in the previous console gen I played a lot of Forza, Test Drive Unlimited, Burnout, Project Gotham etc. Never had an issue, and I always use first person camera for those (cockpit or bonnet cam).

Upping the FOV a bit and disabling head/weapon bobbing usually fixes an FPS for me. I don't play many, but I recently got through all of Prey and Turok 2 remaster without trouble.

Could be a sitting on a couch away from the screen thing versus being only a foot or two away from a computer monitor. You ever try Halo or CoD in between Forza races?

It could be related to how movement and aiming are detached from eachother in shooters but a lot less often and to a much smaller degree in racing games

racing games are all about speed with constrictions on changes in direction, a different set of parameters vs FPS where one must be able to shift in any direction as quickly as possible.

If you're going to post terrible hentai puzzles, you should at least mention Theatre of War 2: Centauro and A.I.M. Racing (which haven't been posted yet). They're not good games, but they're at least not... that.

FanaticalMilk posted:Original Doom is still worth playing in 2020. It holds up in a way very few classic games do, it's close to Super Mario World in that regard. The level design is just so perfect and does an amazing job of teaching you without having an explicit tutorial. Full agree but with the caveat that it's better with mouse controls put in. It's interesting that Doom clones aged out of relevance within a couple of years while Doom is still excellent.

revtoiletduck posted:Are these the ones that are like a cyberpunk XCOM? Yeah. edit: Also to be 100% clear, I meant no storyline connections so feel free to jump into any of the three in any order. That being said they do get mechanically better with each successive campaign, like companions in Returns being basically static whereas in Dragonfall you can customize them as you progress, so if that matters I guess go in release order.

Combat isn’t as deep as xcom, but I’ve never felt ratfucked by Shadowrun’s RNG either. So it’s impossible to say whether it’s bad or not.

Combat might not be as deep as XCom, but XCom doesn't have a mission where you're tasked to vandalize some corporate office to gently caress up its feng shui.

The shadowrun games loving own, but if you've never played them I recommend looking up how to port the shadowrun returns campaign to dragonfalls engine. Less buggy, has some changes to gameplay that will keep it in line with dragonfall and Hong Kong
