I think it's the latter, he says it's too intense. It stresses him out or something? I personally love it.

That's probably it. I get a little unconfortable playing games like old Resident Evil and Silent Hill which doesn't make me feel sick, but not pleasant. Bioshock and especially Fallout 3 I didn't have any problems with though.

I don't really play games much

That's actually the problem. A lot of motion activities take getting used to, including video games.

When I first started swing dancing (lindy hop), I moved around so much that I got extremely dizzy. After a couple months you get used to it. I've heard other activities like figure skating are the same way.

Duke Nukem 3D used to make me feel sick after just a few minutes sometimes. That was by far the worst. The strange geometry on rooms and the way the environment warped with the camera view was terrible for me.

Cloverfield wasn't too kind on me either. Maybe I need to try the smaller screen trick too, Rubycon :p

Occasionally I'll get a little bit of a nauseous feeling from a FPS game, but usually if I take a 5 minute break I'll be fine to go back to it.
