Quoting: philip550cIve heard about this problem from all the way back in the doom days but I still dont understand how fov helps with motion sickness?

That's very good, probably the most complete explanation I've seen. I like how he mentiones Half-Life 2, since that's where I first noticed it. I used to play on a 17-inch CRT back in the day and loved it, but I found it physically impossible on a 25-inch LCD. In fact, I have the same problem with the Black Mesa mod, and generally have to research any FPS that interests me because there's a serious chance I'll end up bying something I cannot play.

In any case, Metro LL definitely has this issue as do a lot of recent games like Jazzpunk or Delver.

One problem I see is the site doesn't give shipping rates, which I find that outside of the US (even in Canada, let alone Europe and elsewhere) can easily double the price of a box. Not having that information up front means I don't have an accurate price available to me unless I go through most of the subscription process first.

Hopefully they finally add a FOV slider. I tried watching the first part of a playthrough of it and was nauseous for two hours afterwards. The Steam forum is full of people complaining of motion sickness from it.

Well, not so much that HL3 is real so much as a couple of pieces of concept art that are probably for HL3 are real. That's about as solid as London fog.

I see what you mean by sluggish, the character seems to move really slowly, even during jumps. Might take a bit to get used to.

I bought it last year and enjoyed it immensely, certainly sinking enough time into it to justify the price tag (can't recall if it was on sale or not). It is a pity we won't be seeing any more development though. I was looking forward to what the next version might bring.

Good on Valve for stepping up on this one. Though I'm a bit amazed the "game" made it as far as it did.

I give them bonus points for never using the word "retro" on their Steam page.

Looks kinda like a bullet hell sort of game in the preview. Not sure yet if that makes me more or less likely to get it.
