So… Fallout has aliens? (lemmy.world)

I saw a video in which some characters of the Fallout tv show open a fridge and find an alien and just toss it out because they want the working fridge. I’ve never understood (or really bothered with) why Fallout had the nuclear “event” which triggered the use of the shelters. Was it an alien invasion?

The PS2 one. And yes, I know Skyrim looks janky af. I still play to this day and I feel fine. I was looking at the clip of Fallout 4 the other day and it made me nauseous! Makes me irritated that I paid good money for it on the Xbox One way back when.

    Is it motion sickness or is it just a weird "general gross" feeling?

    First time I was actually pukish. Like, a switch flipped while playing the game one day and I just couldn’t sit with the game any more.

    After doing some research on the art style and choices of the makers, it was irritation and a general gross feeling along with the pukishness.

    So... What choices did the artists make to give you that feeling? Because again, the only thing I can find when I search for people getting sick while playing FO4 is just motion sickness, and then all the comments mention other first-person games they have similar issues with and that going third-person helps alleviate that.

    I guess I'm still confused why anyone would get queasy playing a first-person game and it isn't motion sickness. Like you don't hear people complaining about getting queasy when they play any of the Doom games for example.

    I was playing third person and yeah I guess you could call it motion sickness. I didn’t bother diagnosing it beyond trying a few more times and coming out with an absolutely crushing sickness feeling. I even tried going first person and it didn’t help.

    And yeah, the graphics being weird and blocky and old school being the cause? It felt weird.

    Have played Tomb 2, Shadow Warrior, Carmagegeddon. Never felt this feeling. Never felt it with any other game either. Well, except with the Oculus Rift 2. That definitely made me pukish.
