Author Topic: My final significant Orange Box 360 complaint. . . (Read 1961 times)

TVC15 · « **on:** October 11, 2007, 10:10:08 PM »

I noticed this last night, but I wasn't going to mention it because it could have been any number of things. Today, I got confirmation: Orange Box on 360 makes me nauseous.

I just puked up my lunch. Valve owes me for a chicken sandwich and a bax of soy nuts. Last night I quit before I tossed, but that shit made me erupt today. After I puked up in the toilet, I felt a bit better, so about 10 minutes later I returned to the game. . .and promptly got sick within a few minutes.

This happened in both HL2 (last night) and Portal. It should be noted that the physics wackiness in Portal does not make me nauseous. I can handle the mind bendiness like a pro.

:/

Whats the reason for this? Is it a perspective issue or framerate? I remember getting sick playing Black on the PS2. Not chuck up yesterdays Chinese Food sick but I did get a lil' green. I hope I don't get this way with Orange Box

No idea. Last game that made me vomitus sick was Marathon on 360. Orange Box games on PC are fine.

I'll just make him play the 360 version of Orange Box. The food will literally come spraying from him.

no such problems here, the only games that ever make me feel somewhat dizzy are the Ace Combat games

also I find that even with a few improvements, the Source engine is very dated, and that every game in the Orange Box looks awful, especially Half-Life 2

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:15:32 PM »

Looks awful? You've got to be kidding me!

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #8 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:17:26 PM »

Don't worry, every game will suddenly look like prismatic Jesus Jizz once Orange Box hits PS3, right Mondain

Okay, one more complaint: The lack of AA really makes Portal look lousy. It's more like running through a cheese grater than a series of portals.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #10 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:26:58 PM »

I think Portal actually looks pretty good on Xbox 360.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #11 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:31:59 PM »

Purchase for PC confirmed.

Mondain · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:31:20 AM »

yeah, the lack of AA isn't helping the games either

although I was surprised to see that Half-Life 2 still has incredibly good texturing, all the rest is pretty dated

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #13 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:33:38 AM »

Try some new material, Mundane. Your bullshit is getting pretty dated,.

TVC15 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:35:52 AM »

I think even on the PC, where HL2 looks significantly better, it's the textures, not the tech, that is allowing the game to age gracefully. Episode 1 (and I am assuming 2) have more pretty graphical tricks up their sleeve. HL2 just has impeccable visual design.

Portal has really good, consistent visual design, too, but it's hurt more by the lack of AA because it's more of an exercise in visual minimalism, which means you are paying more attention to the edges of things, which due to the lack of AA are the worst looking part of the package.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:38:34 AM »

I think Portal looks pretty good and YOU'RE A HATER AND I HATE U

TVC15 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:39:20 AM »

You could cut a steak with those serrated edges in Portal! Just be ready to puke it up after you're done eating it!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:56:01 AM »

You're kind of a wimp.

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:57:17 AM »

I can't really control the nausea bit. But about the visuals? I'll call a shoddy port a shoddy port.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #19 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:58:06 AM »

From now on when people dont like games im gonna call em a WIMP

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #20 on:** October 12, 2007, 02:01:15 AM »

No, let's call them a TVC.

I was talking more or less about the nausea!

Don't worry, TVC. I still love you.

We can throw up due to FPS induced nausea TOGETHER.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #23 on:** October 12, 2007, 02:14:51 AM »

Billy Hatcher and Metal Arms both made me queasy from their weird framerates

abrader · « **Reply #26 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:13:44 PM »

I have never gotten sick from a game - I love Marathon and Orange Box.

A guy I work with has this problem tho - he cant play any FPS.

hyp · « **Reply #27 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:21:44 PM »

i've never felt sick playing an FPS, but there was something about marathon that made me nauseous.
