Turn off motion blur, if ineffective place a bucket near your pc and carry on.

The best way is to just keep playing the game. Take breaks when it starts to get bad and continue later. Eventually your body will get used to it.

 

I've always heard you can try things like moving closer/further from your screen or not using headphones.

That's called avoiding a problem (at the sacrifice of not getting to play your game) rather than fixing it

Built my first PC, opened up Far Cry 4, play for 30 minutes, too sick to continue...

Take some ginger candy 30 to 45 minutes before playing.

Ginger doesn't affect everyone the same way, it works great for me but not so great for others.

 

Also playing a lot will desensitize you.

Seriously? 7 posts in and no one has mentioned increasing FOV?

 

REALLY? 

 

What the heck has this forum come to?

 

OP: Increase your FOV. I also get sick with games with small FOV. Most console ports have very limited FOV. (Some as low as 75-80 degrees). This is problematic for PC gaming because you're generally much closer to the screen on a computer than you are a TV for console gaming.

 

Definitely increase the FOV. If the game doesn't inherently allow it (*cough cough fallout 4 cough cough*) just google how to change the FOV. It'll often involve editing .ini files, which takes only a few seconds of your time. Very often this will solve your motion sickness problem.

I'd be damned if we had an anti motion-sickness expert on this forum to tell him this isn't motion sickness...

I guess build a tolerance? Continue playing, controlled of course (take breaks when you feel you have to) until you feel your sickness spells are not as often/intense. 

Nothing.

Àdjust settings. Both ingame and with environment. If you game in dark room, make game brightness lower too. Remove anything which brings too much flashing, sparkling, general motion etc. Think of your position towards screen. Move seat back or adjust angle where you look at screen. Take breaks, go outside for a while etc.

If you spin around in circles right before playing, maybe it will cancel out the motion-sickness from gaming.

I was thinking exactly this. FOV is most likely the culprit

I didn't see a hardware layout. Post it. Check your FPS. Sometimes having super low FPS can create studdering and motion sickness.

60hz +60fps. Probably because of viewing angle, play far cry 4 only seeing hands gets super sick, playing gta5 is fine...
