Borderlands made me sick every time I played it. I bought Borderlands 2 during the Steam sale and increased the FOV all the way to max, and I haven't gotten sick yet. I hope it continues that way, because I do like the game.

I've been sick twice. First was watching someone else play Quake. The second was playing Warcraft III in 40 foot seas.

My brother-in-law can't play FPS games. He's fine with everything else.

My wife thought she was okay until I bought her Skyrim. She played all of 15 minutes and was getting sick from it, so it hasn't been touched since.

The only time I've felt sick from a certain game was Super Mario 64, but I think everyone had that feeling at first...

I'm good with every other game but the Half Life Series. For some reason I feel nauseous every time I play it. I've tried everything. Which is a shame because I really enjoy that game. I can't play it any longer than 10 minutes at a time.

^ This. for whatever reason the half Life series seems to do it to me every time. Don't know why because I have played a lot of 3D 1st person games.

I will admit to feeling sick to my stomach after playing several hours of DA:2, but suspect that is something else entirely. :O

Same. Its the low field of view, anything under 80 makes me sick as a dog.
