Oh no, not because it was/is a bad game... actually, IMO, it's a pretty damn good game... but I bought it, direct download and the add-on... started playing for a half hour or so, and I'm extremely dizzy and nauseated right now... 2nd time it occurred with this game, happened when first released... only game ever to do that too me... so I deleted it unforyunitly... just not going to be able to play this great game I think. wink

I had that "dizzy" problem as well. Have you tried increasing FOV? Don't know how it's done on consoles unfortunately...

Not sure you can on the console which is why I bought it for the computer.

Isnt this the second game you have had this with Mag? Uncharted did the same thing to you, no? Maybe try sitting further back from the TV. Sounds like you may be getting to focused on the game and not allowing your eyes to "see" the rest of the room so to speak. I have a 56" flat screen and I sit about 7 feet away from it which is almost to close sometimes. Not sure how your set up is but moving back may help a bit.

Oblivion and GTA Vice City did that to me pretty bad, a few other games too. GTA was simply unplayable despite my best efforts.
My only advice is to sit further back, play with switching 1st and 3rd person a good bit. You can push the 3rd person camera in/out on the console version, but no way to change FOV for first person.
I got some of those pressure point anti-nausea wrist bands, found some real cheap, but can't say they've ever done anything but annoy me to distraction. LOL

Also, take some sinus meds and try it again later. Why did you buy the dlc?!

oh ya... bought both Uncharted games for PS3, did the same and had to delete.

Sitting back as far as i can, about 8 feet.

Just getting old I think. lol


Because it got great reviews and i had the game already... BTW, I got it for PC, and don't get sick with the PC version, just never no time to play it on PC. wink

That's a shame Mag. I've been discovering the joys of modding the PC version recently. Originally only played it on Xbox, but when I got my new PC I just had to rebuy it. thumbsup
