Minecraft. I love building things, and I especially love the idea of building things you can walk through in first person. I also loved the little of it I did play. Sadly, it makes me incredibly nauseous and gives me a headache after about half an hour of playing.
Have you messed with the settings? Turning off view bobbing might be the trick!
Did you have view bobbing in 2012? That’s probably about the last time I tried playing.
I figured it were just the 2D/3D environments. Wolfenstein 3D and Doom make me nauseous as well.
Getting motion sick from games sucks so much. I just wanna run around, not feel like vomitting cause my body is a silly goose.
I couldn't find conclusive information for Wolfenstein 3D or Doom, but it seems to point toward bobbing being present for those as well.
If it really seems like a game that might be otherwise fun, I'd recommend giving it a shot with bobbing/sway (however it is called) turned of.
This also affects my wife, she has to have it off in order to enjoy any 3d, first person game.
I played Wolfenstein 3D at a friend’s house as a kid. It made me sick exactly like Minecraft does.
I’ve never had any issue playing CoD, Medal of Honor or any other fps, it seems to specifically be this kind of first person in a boxy environment.
But I might try it again.
Interesting, it may be more than simply turning off bobbing then. I wish you luck!
Also, @ameancow has some great suggestions as well.
