Quote:Although I'm curious if exposure is any factor as well, are some players more sensitive because they don't play FPS much, or they don't play them because they are sensitive?
Now that I'm getting on in my years (the tenderly young age of 21;)), I've noticed a change in my stomach when it comes to FPS gaming. When I was in my mid teens I played a lot of FPS' like Quake 2, etc. Now that I'm older my skill is still preserved in long matches of Halo or Unreal
"I can't believe they are still making these" Tournaments, but sometimes my vision/stomach is not. Halo hasn't proved a problem, even with increased sensitivity on the double joysticks. But Unreal in particular has left me slightly "sea sick" when watching others play, or after very long sessions. I personally think it has to do with going from playing an FPS once every couple days, to playing once every 2-4 weeks.
Quote:True, one thing I wished the Diablo series had was a gamepad support. I prefer FPS with the standard keyboard & mouse setup, but for something like Diablo a gamepad is a lot more comfortable for my taste. Hell the rare chance I do play D1\Hellfire these days I usually use an autoclicker program, saves my finger and my mouse.
Funny you mention that, I vaguely recall playing some abonimation resembling Diablo for a console system - playstation 1 was it? For the Diablo series I love the tried and true clicker. It may sound odd, but I often play RTS's like Warcraft and Age of Empires unhindered on my laptop with only the red button. But yet when I boot up Diablo or Diablo II, without a USB mouse plugged in I can't play it.

Virtual Boy! Now that is something I forgot about completely. And you sir, are entirely correct about the truly scary part :D
