    After I play a song or three, when I look at something, it looks like it's rising. Like the lines rise in GH.

    Ugh, also makes me feel a little dizzy.

    :D Anyone else feel this way? I knew I had a bit of vertigo but this is weird. lol.

    Playing in the dark?

    Acrually yeah. They do this in all the games. The screen moves really subliminaly and in a very subtle way, so when you look away its like being stoned

    ye i get this as well. best way to avoid it is to never stop playin!

    OMG this is creepy the exact same thing happened to me earlier today and i managed to stir my family into a panic thinking i had brain disease or was about to faint - nobody told me guitar hero borks your brains

    It's the heavy amount of strobe lighting in the game i think. Lower down the contrast on your TV, if you have a wireless guitar, don't stand so close to the TV and don't play it in the dark.

    lol, I've got everyone beat...

    I got GH III from the folks for christmas and put it on on christmas eve. I played for an hour or so, next minute my head started goin a bit dizzy and I was like.. oooh, time to stop. I noticed I was gettin short of breath... from all the mad button mashing and stuff.. well.. I went and finished Evenflow first the switched off :P

    Still feelin dizzy, my breathin was gettin increasingly worse. I could breath inwards for a fraction of a second. then my head was pounding from lack of oxygen. Ended up gettin sick from coughin and the parents were gettin sorta worried.

    Long Story short, I ended up in casualty til 4 in the mornin on christmas eve. Was real ****. Probably nothing got to do with guitar hero, but ya never know.. maybe the medium setting was too much for me at first. lol

    Guitar Hero, the #1 cause of deaths for young gamers this christmas.

    I was playing Devil went down to Georgia on easy with just my pinky to strengthen it up :P and i nearly broke it! GH3 is dangerous :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus


    This happens to me too. It happens a lot less when the lights are on. Wasnt even that dark when I noticed it the first time. Kinda puts me off playing it for long periods of time though

    I just bought it there after having a good bit of fun with the demo, and yeah, I'm feeling a little woozy now, and I've got a cramp in my left hand!

    I'm finding using the guitar insanely difficult! I'm able to breeze through pretty much every song I've tried with just using the standard controller, but I can't seem to get the hang of the guitar controller at all - my hands just don't know how to do two different things at once. :(

    I'm having fun with it, but I am a little disappointed with the difficulty even on the easy setting. Its not really the type of game you can bring out at a party and have a laugh and a bash with people who may not normally play games, cos they'd never be able to just pick up and play it I reckon!

    I just played it for the first time on Christmas day and I got used to it on easy very quickly. I started medium today...it's so fast!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    this happens to me too after a good bit of playing and then I need to sit down :o
