I honestly have a problem. It's not to the point where I can't play, but over a long duration, I have to stop. Horror games, first person, dark games, and even shooters, I can get motion sickness. Playing in the dark makes me sick too. It's very frustrating being such a fan of video games.

I've tried supplements, drinking more water helps a little, but in the end, I just gotta deal I guess!

I wouldn't call it "motion sickness", but staring at a 30 FPS (or less) game with a lot of screen movement (think FPS's and such, sometimes racing games with a high sense of speed), gets difficult for me after a while.

60 FPS doesn't really bother me - I can play those for hours without a problem.

Yeah. I think it's just me. I have trouble sitting in back of cars, planes, boats, etc... It's no fun though. I threw up playing a game back in the day. I wont' get into details.

I only have problems when playing first person shooters. The only FPS I can play that doesn't bother me is Destiny.

Original Prey was a puke machine for me.
Usually I'm ok but a few times it's hit me.

If I play Rock Band or Guitar Hero for a long time then look at a wall, it looks wavy.

Otherwise, no motion-sickness. 30 FPS stands out more than ever now, though.

FPS games used to give me motion sickness way back when (like seriously, almost vomiting), but I think it's something your senses grow accustomed to over time. I haven't felt that way for years now.

Some of these low field of view fps, strong head bobbing, motion blur, or shaky camera movement will cause me to get sick. Half life made me very sick.
