GTA making me feel sick and dizzy

swingking

Was playing the game today and I had to turn it off cause I felt very dizzy and sick.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Think this is called simulator sickness but I'm not too sure.

Any suggestions on how to make the game not bring on signs of dizzyness?

Motion sickness. Are you playing it in a darkened room? Try turning lights on if so. Maybe look away from the screen from time to time.

I was playing Assassins Creed last week in the dark and after a good hour or two of playing i got up and went downstairs/into the light! All i could see were three big bright white rings like i was staring at three suns for an hour. Went to sleep and woke up, all was well.

Don't console/game developers suggest you take fifteen minutes off after every hour of playing or something like that to avoid this kind of thing? I know plenty of people play for hours on end with no problems, maybe this game is just effecting your eyes badly or something weird like that

You should use the 20/20/20 rule.
Which is after 20 minutes look at something 20 metres away for 20 seconds.

I blame the violence. Maybe Jack Thompson was right!

Quiet you, or I'll cut you in half with a chainsaw like I did to that hooker last night!

This always happens to me in first person shooter games.

Bioshock gave me raging headaches for some reason ?I think it was cus it was so dark and i kept squinting. I did feel like a zombie after playing GTA for 8 hrs sunday.Should have been out in the sun!
