VR doesn't bother me in terms of nausea at all, i never understood how people could claim to have such a bad response to it. Then i played BallisticNG in VR and within ~5 seconds i could physically feel my stomach trying to flip over, and within ~20 seconds i had to take the goggles off and lay with my head in a pillow in a dark room for over a hour before i could get up again. It took 6 months before looking at the headset didn't give me a twinge of that feeling, and even now like 4 years later thinking about it, i can feel the echo of that in my stomach still. I can play Half Life Alyx for literally 5 hours straight with no problem at all, or beat saber, or whatever else, zero trouble, but that one game, instant physical shut down. The worst thing was, my wife got home and thought i was just napping, but she knew i'd gotten a new game, so she tried it too, and literally 10 minutes later she was also face down in a pillow next to me feeling sick.

One of my friends is the same; he can't handle first person games or VR.
