Why Do You Play Games by Gamine(f): 3:29pm On Aug 15, 2008
I was just thinking , yesterday.

i was quite stressed and angry and i felt like playing Syphon Filter.

i realised it was because i wanted to just start shooting people embarassed embarassed

and prolly my stress would disappear.
embarassed embarassed

Anyways, so i asked myself

why do we play games, for entertainment, to relieve stress, to best someoneelse?

WHY?

@ gamine

Hmmmmm.
I think i av an idea of where dis topic was borne from.  cool  cool  cool
My lips r sealed though.  wink  cool

@ topic

For me, its two out of the three you highlighted. To releive stress and to best someone else.
I've discovered that when i'm pretty stressed out or in a dark wierd place  sad where no one can reach me, the only thing that consoles me is a console.  wink

Ahhh, what life would be like without the luxury of an excape route. In my case most times, a video game. It'll be less interestin thats for sure.  undecided  undecided  undecided

I havent seen a playable game console in three months.

Sometimes i just feel like aaargh!

I like playing games that i cant depict in real life, ya know.

Yesterday i felt like killing some people around, i was so worked up about some things

if i played a shoot em up, it would hv given me the satisfaction grin grin grin grin

I play games cuz I've been playing em since I was like 2.

Cuz it occupies me on my journeys during the day.

Cuz it's fun, duH!

But I aint never done it cuz i'm angry.

Re: Why Do You Play Games by WebMonk(m): 5:39pm On Aug 18, 2008
becuz it relieves stress, and you have a good time pulling off moves you couldn't do in real life cheesy

as for the syphon filter - i wasn't a fan until i got the PSP version. the rest is history cheesy

Re: Why Do You Play Games by texazzpete(m): 1:20pm On Aug 19, 2008
Usually game for fun and competition. I love playing Pro Evo soccer, but i hate playing it alone. when i'm with company, then it's pretty cool.

My best moment was flogging one Chinese guy in PES 6 at a demo kiosk in HMV. My first time ever with PES 6 for that matter, and i had to battle with the clumsy 360 pad.

So yeah, it's mostly the thrill of besting someone else. That explains why my Devil May Cry 4 and GTA 4 are still unopened in my house.
Re: Why Do You Play Games by Gamine(f): 1:38pm On Aug 19, 2008

Re: Why Do You Play Games by iice(f): 10:02am On Aug 20, 2008
