Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they’re online only and I almost can’t be bothered to go through that. I’ve beaten it a long time ago.

And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they’ve made that online-only as well. Like, I know I’m always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can’t afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can’t do that with online-only games because it’s like being gated away from something you bought.

So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.

      Did you have view bobbing in 2012? That’s probably about the last time I tried playing.

      I figured it were just the 2D/3D environments. Wolfenstein 3D and Doom make me nauseous as well.

          Getting motion sick from games sucks so much. I just wanna run around, not feel like vomitting cause my body is a silly goose.

        I couldn’t find conclusive information for Wolfenstein 3D or Doom, but it seems to point toward bobbing being present for those as well.

        If it really seems like a game that might be otherwise fun, I’d recommend giving it a shot with bobbing/sway (however it is called) turned of.

        This also affects my wife, she has to have it off in order to enjoy any 3d, first person game.

          I played Wolfenstein 3D at a friend’s house as a kid. It made me sick exactly like Minecraft does.

          I’ve never had any issue playing CoD, Medal of Honor or any other fps, it seems to specifically be this kind of first person in a boxy environment.

          But I might try it again.

            Interesting, it may be more than simply turning off bobbing then. I wish you luck!

            Also, @ameancow has some great suggestions as well.
