Mostly just Shadow of the Erdtree. Elden Ring at this point is probably a top five all time for me at this point. Which is wild considering I bailed on every souls game prior.
Just trying to get it completed before next week when College Football 25 consumes me.
Started Still Wakes the Deep and i’m very impressed. The Chinese Room finally made a real game. Their sprint mode still sucks though.
Right, I got to get back to this game, forgot I was playing it.
I know it seems its a cliche or become a bit of a meme to say (am i totally wrong?) but i can almost completely no longer play fps games after putting hundreds of hours into games in my life… i know a couple here share the same. Is their a known fix or anything to do or do u just alter what u play forever ? I mean motion sickness and nauseau etc
It’s most certainly a real thing and the people making fun of us should be ashamed.
You have to find the adjustments that works for you:
First of all start identifying the things that triggers it the most in games and adjust those ingame settings if possible. For me I almost always adjust FOV, turn off head bobbing, adjust camera sensitivity and play around with things like chromatic abberation and motion blur on/off.
Second, always be prepared physically. Make sure you are well hydrated, not tired and have eaten properly. Adjust the lighting in the room, sometimes a brighter room can help, sometimes a darker.
Third, and my go-to, use ginger. Anything with ginger in it has an effect, fresh is of course the best but taste kinda rough. There’s drinks, tea, candy and pills to use with real ginger in it. It helps a lot.
If all else fail I use medication (like ginger you should use it before playing). It’s to stop it from triggering.
Only a couple of games (indies are the worst, with shitty cams) have defeated me completely since I started doing these things. Remember that your brain takes a while to adjust to the game you are playing. I sometimes start with a short session, and then a bit longer the next etc. etc.
Good luck!
Exceptionally great advice!
The last time I felt sick was from starting up a new game at the end of a mentally exhausting day where I hadn’t had enough to eat or drink either. That was a bad combination. Pretty much went against your second advice. So that should not be underestimated at all.
Now I make sure to not start new games until I can start them fresh after having a good meal (breakfast or lunch) and plenty to drink with natural lighting. They don’t make it onto my night time playing until I’m well adjusted to it.
Thanks Brit and Mort. I do recall Mort mentioning ginger to me a while ago. I think the prospect of altering and testing settings is daunting though as thats a guaranteed sick day.
Appreciate the advice 
Just beat Devil May Cry 4 SE again for the third time, this time as Vergil. I started again as lady/trish who I’ve never played as before. Looking to maybe pick up a Warriors game on sale or just replay Ninja Gaiden or something next
After 170 hours of Dragon’s Dogma 2 I am at the last mission of the endgame, hopefully we’ll see a meaty expansion a la Bitterblack Isle/Dark Arisen for this awesome game.
I was planning to start Shadow of the Erdtree next but since last December I played four 150+ hrs RPGs (Dragon Quest 11, Wasteland 3 w/ both expansions, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth & Dragon’s Dogma 2) and I want to take a break before diving into Elden Ring again so I decided to play some smaller games for the next month or so. My current schedule is to start with Dungeons of Hinterberg then continue with Hellblade 1 & 2, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Amnesia: The Bunker and then buy & play Space Marine 2 when it launches in September. I played Dungeons of Hinterberg for about half an hour a few days ago and I was really impressed by what this small team achieved with this game, can’t wait to play more!
So going through the main quest in Morrowind, and I just got back from the investigation into the Neverine Cult and Sixth House in Vivec.
I’m level 19, I have pretty high skills all around but Cosades says I shoukd go level up my skills or do guild work instead of giving my orders. I checked the guide I used before and Uesp, but there’s nothing about it from what I searched so I’m just left being annoyed and doing some other stuff.
Edit: I’m glad money has no weight in TES, because the amount of gold I carry with would make it impossible for me to do anything.
Completed Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn over a week ago. It was a good 7.0/10 game overall. Enjoyed it but nothing special. Biggest issues were the floatyness of Nor when platforming as that’s how I died every time. Missing jumps or Nor facing the wrong way for whatever reason. After that was the audio in regards to the voices. The recording of them was way too low. Had to put my LG CX TV volume up to 12 minimum and lower the music and sound effects in game to 50 as I could barely hear what they were saying. Also had to increase the brightness to 70 in game and on the TV as the game is too damn dark. Good boss fights. Story and characters were fine. Combat was really good.
Just completed Terminator: Resistance and The Annihilation Line expansion. Base game was a good 7.0/10 with solid gunplay and shooting mechanics. Teyon who developed RoboCop Rogue City did this game and they nailed the world and everything of Terminator. Really enjoyed this one. Like Flintlock, nothing special but very enjoyable especially if you’re a Terminator fan like I am. Music was fucking great as expected. Story is fine. Graphics leave a lot to be desired but they got all the Terminators and machines right which is more important.
Next up is the Crysis Remastered Trilogy which I will start on Sunday. Always wanted to play these games but never could and I know they were shit on 360/PS3. Forgot all about the remaster until I saw a Digital Foundry pop up on the side of YouTube while watching gaming videos. Best of all, the remasters are said said to be damn good on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 after Crytek patched it where as at launch a few years ago, not so much.
Will also be playing through Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine this month on PC via Steam as it’s finally time to get ready for Space Marine 2 which im super hyped for!!
Still playing Morrowind: main questline, thieves guild, Mages Guild and Fighters guild quest are finished. Currently doing Redoran, Temple and Imperial Cult questlines and once I finish them will be doing the Tribunal and Bloodmoon DLC before calling it a day.
Like before, and in Skyrim, Alchemy is the most useful skill in the game as it allows us to be OPAF without needing too many requirements beyond materials for making potions.
Juggling four games at the moment… Main game is Forza Horizon, which is really great. I think the progression here is better than in the later games I’ve played (4/5). Runs, plays and looks very well still.
On the side I’m playing A Little to the Left, doing its 100 daily tiddies… half way there now. Also doing Bluey: The Video Game for GP dailies. Not great.
Last there’s Diablo IV, still doing the campaign, mostly in co-op which is very sporadic due to scheduling. Good game though.
Forza Horizon 5 for weekly stuff. Honestly though I agree with Mort, the first one is still amazing.
Both versions of Outer Worlds, but mostly the spacers choice edition at the moment.
Hitman 2 to complete a few story missions I’d never completed.
A little to the left but I’m one away from 30 so a bit behind Mort.
Vampire Survivors for game pass but I’m down to one achievement again so probably will find something else.
Some Portal / Portal 2
Oh this is interesting. I was thinking of getting the Spacer’s Choice to get an excuse to play it again, how is it compared to the old version? I’ve heard very mixed opinions.
I think it definitely had some issues when it launched. Oddly there’s an exploit that had worked for me first try on the regular version with supernova difficulty robing a safe on groundbreaker that took me a bunch of times in the spacers choice version.
I think they did a lot of enhancements to the environment with making it somewhat more vivid and colorful, but nights to me somehow seem almost too dark to see at times. Maybe more realistic since it’s usually hard to see in the dark 
or maybe I got my settings different, but it was annoying at first. It’s honestly mostly the same, but all in one package, and annoyingly only has 1000 gs for all of it. That said I’ve been realizing how much I loved about the game, and I went into it after almost getting to the end of Starfield so kinda was seeing how it’s a much more linear and smaller idea of part of space, but with more amusing writing and less seriousness. I do wish I had a jetpack though.
Also I hadn’t really gotten into the dlc before even though I owned it, I stopped after my first run a couple years ago and hadn’t explored everything else and all the character quests. Really enjoying those new to me quests. I’ll have to try to get some comparisons as I’m about to start something in spacers choice that I just did in regular a week back. Sorry for long windedness.
Thanks! Only 1000GS is a bummer, but ah well. I haven’t played the DLC yet either, bought them long after I played the game and saved them for a replay. You know how the backlog is so not gotten around to that yet…haha.
If it’s fresh visually it might be worth picking up, and no serious bugs? I would like to replay it from scratch, so I’ll keep an eye on sales.
I’ll try to get some sort of semi objective comparison for you. I will say I did the same with the dlc, but what I’ve played so far is amazing. I just finished peril on gorgon in the spacers choice edition.
I’m still playing Humanity which seem even more like a poor mans Lemmings and Enchanted Arms. The latter is a jrpg from 2006 so pretty early in 360 life span. Its rough around the edges but has some charming easter eggs if you played the other From Software titles. For instance i was just in Anor Londo (its called London here xD) and have broken a million barrels.
