HL2 rocks. Honestly, I bought the Orange Box, but I only bought it for TF2. However, I still love playing HL2 single player. The puzzles are fun and very addicting to me. My problem isn't with the game, but with PLAYING it.
I can't play more than about 2 hours at a pop without getting SICK! I don't know if it's the motion or what, but I get a nauseous stomach, a slight headache, etc... if I stop playing, then I feel fine about 20 minutes later like nothing ever happened. I've played FPS's for years stemming back to Doom and Doom2 over modem. I played Marathon (Bungie's first FPS years before Halo) on a Mac. Q, Q2, Q3 on the PC. I played EverQuest (first person RPG) and now I play WOW and a bit of Fable.
Why is it that HL2 (and Portal I might add) make me sick? Anybody ELSE seen this or experienced it? I was debating on going and getting some Dramamine from the store and seeing how that works, but heck I don't know... This isn't a troll or a jab or anything, but I get sick to the point where I *HAVE* to log off and it's only HL2 and Portal. TF2 doesn't give me a single problem and I can play it all day.
Oh, for the record, the system specs are an AMD x64 2.8 GHz dual core CPU, 2 gigs RAM, NVidia GeForce 8800 GTS with 312 MB RAM. I ran it on a 17" 4:3 aspect monitor and now on a 22" widescreen and had the same thing both times. The resolution is both set to the max possible and with a good ratio with both monitors, and so I'm certain it's not from a fuzzy screen or anything like that.
Any ideas?
