This may sound like an "It's not you, it's me" post, 'cause well, it basically is, but anyway sometimes I want to love a game but I just can't, literally, due to:

(*). Limited Inventory OCD. I want to love Sacred Gold, but the OCD kicked me too hard I just had to stop playing. Avadon also comes to mind (although I only played the demo).

(*). Simulator/motion sickness. Star Wars: Republic Commando and Arx Fatalis, and any other non-tile/step-by-step movement First-Person Shooters and/or RPGs that I want to like but just can't due to the simulator/motion sickness problem.

Other than those two, I kind of agree with Leroux's post.

How does one get motion sickness from a FPS or RPG? :\

I get sick from managing my inventory in ultima, but that's another story.

I can understand....never played much Ultima but I hate limited inventories, or ones set up to pester the player....like scrolling inventories with too many items, inventories where you have to stack/unstack items one item at a time, etc.

Well, I do not know the medical background of it, or how it happens, but can't really argue with the headache I get after playing just for a few minutes :-)

Have you seen an optometrist? Maybe they could help in some way.

If the field of view is too low, it can cause motion sickness to some such as myself. This is quite common for sloppy PC-ports as consoles don't require high FOV because of the distance between the TV and the player.

Have you never heard about this? It's a fairly common problem among gamers. Basically, the problem is that your brain receives conflicting information from the eyes and from the inner ear (which detects motion). Visually, you get the impression that you are moving, while your body feels that it is standing still. The theory is that this causes the brain to believe it is hallucinating, causing various symptoms including headaches, dizziness, nausea, sweating etc.

I see, at one point i had a similar problem, i can read and write perfectly fine, however i was given a set of glasses for minor astigmatism (0.75 and 0.25, dont know if you would call it minor but its nothing too serious.) Definitely worth it. Otherwise, i don't have to wear the glasses

Yeah, im also having trouble with Soldiers. Its really, really, really hard. I keep saving and loading all the time till i get things right. I dont know if its really hard or i suck at it.
Im still very far from finishing Oblivion, i only have 30 hours on it but im already tired of closing Oblivion gates over and over again. It gets really boring after an while. Especially because all of them feel the same. Ill probably try to get further, but i dont know if ill ever have the patience to finish it.

There is technically a time limit in Fallout 2, and I really do mean "technically." If you spend more than about 13 years roaming around in the wasteland, the game breaks completely. It's even hardcoded in such a way that nobody's figured out how to extend it, either. However I have no idea how you'd ever spend that much time, unless you were trying to break the game on purpose.

The human body sound to me like it could use an upgrade or two......just my two cents. Sounds like a raw deal for gamers though, if they can't play what they want.

Well, GR, games should be your entertainment, not your job (unless you are in the gaming industry). So, if I can't play a game because of that sickness, so be it. Besides, I am not sure I want to go down the Space Siege way just yet... :-P

The Elder Scrolls games, Which is really odd because I like RPG's and openworld games. Must have tried to start Oblivion like five times. Strangely enjoyed the hell out of Fallout 3.
