Worst motion sickness experienced?

Out of all the first person shooters, I think Half-Life 2, or any source engine game, definitely takes the cake (no dumb portal joke intended). HL2 was a constant struggle to finish and I had to play the game in 15 minute chunks. It was a horrible experience, and that's why i never played the episodes that came after.

Well, not only first person shooters had made me feel extremely uncomfortable before... sometimes third person games do too. I recall Spiderman 2 on the ps1 once gave me headaches. But more recently, Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days. Holy shit I couldn't even finish the demo. It was that bad.

Have you ever had to stop playing a game because it does bad shit with your head?

No...it was Wipeout HD...that game made my head hurt and gave me a slight queasy feeling whenever I played it. Half-Life 2 never bothered me (or any of the 6 Valve games on the Source engine that I have played).

Fuck that shit...

Also I remember getting really drunk and walking into an arcade to have an F-Zero machine make me wanna puke.

I had a problem with Batman Arkham Asylum where I was seeing spots on the screen but that was my eyes and not the game. Had trouble playing Burnout Paradise because of the speed and I just couldn't keep up

Ecco the Dolphin - Sega Genesis.

Killzone 2
I don't know what is it about that game, but every time i try to play it, i end up being nauseous and having an headache.

Never had that problem before. At least not that I can recall.

The only time I ever experienced motion sickness was from a field trip to see an IMAX film about the why oceans are important that was narrated by Sting when I was in the 5th Grade.  It is kind of ironic since Sting condones littering our seas with messages in a bottle to send an S.O.S to the World.

It didn't give me motion sickness but I never liked the drunk effects in GTA 4

I've only experienced motion sickness once in my life, and it was caused by the demo for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. 

I've never had motion sickness before.

Half Life 2 did make me a tad uneasy, but I've only ever experienced full on queasy with Tony Hawk 3.

I don't think a game has ever made me motion sick. I however do know they make my dad sick form the days of trying to get him to play Goldeneye with us.

Doom, 3D sonic games, some quake.

I remember playing the original Portal when I was tired. That was a bad idea. :/

If I have a good buzz on, some games can make me have motion sickness. I've had motion sickness many times though. I was in the Navy. You either deal with it or throw up and go on with your life. Unless you decide to sleep beside the commode.

Marathon 2 on XBLA was the first time I got motion sickness from an FPS.

Dunno if you could consider it "motion sickness", but the HDR and the very fast movement in the Cube mod for Fallout 3 totally killed me. I managed to finish the mod, but my brain felt like was about to explode.

Don't know why but I have never suffered motion sickness by a video game. Eyes of steel?

the first time I played one of the old Medal of Honor games.

Marathon 2 on Xbox Live Arcade gave me some serious headaches after playing for more than ten minutes.  I heard they patched it and fixed something to make it better, but I never took anymore chances.

What does motion sickness feel like? I'm not sure I've ever experienced it.

You get dizzy, perhaps followed by a headache, and then definitely followed by the urge to vomit. It is not a fun experience. I cannot speak for everyone, but if I get sufficiently nauseous it will stick with me for hours, and light, sweet beverages help alleviate the symptoms. I'm told that people who had inner ear problems when they were young (like myself) have a tendency to suffer from it more often.I get wicked motion sickness from any number of things, from roller coasters to boats to that awful movie Cloverfield. But not yet a video game.

San Francisco Rush is the only game that ever gave me any level of motion sickness.  I don't recall whether I was feeling kind of sick in general at the time, all I remember is just feeling horrible after about 15 minutes of that game.  Never played any of those Rush games ever again for fear of the same reaction.

The only game that I've really ever gotten any feeling of motion sickness from is Gears of War, particularly the recent Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta.  It's not bad so long as I'm just walking/rolling or shooting, but I start running and that camera starts bouncing everywhere I start to feel a little queasy.  I've never had that happen to me before outside of that experience.  I really hope they tone down the shakiness of the camera when the game comes out, or I might have to take a pass on that one.

BTW...we're talking sober here, right?  Because if I start up almost any FPS or any game with a ton of motion after I've been drinking all night, all bets are off.  I couldn't get past the first challenge room in the original Portal a couple weekends ago because I was spinning and then I started moving the camera around, and I just put down the controller and passed out.  When I woke up I was stuck against a wall in the game.

Half-Life 2 is really the only game I've played that would consistantly give me a headache every time I played it. Never had a problem with anything else.
