Why do you play video games?
| I have so few joys in life
I'd rather play games than be dead, I guess
| Thx to my dad, they are a great part of my life
And well for me at least they are a forma of art
| I press a button and it changes something on the screen, releasing dopamine in my brain and letting me forget this shitty existence.
| Cuz there's a way to beat it, even the hardest game can be beaten if you have the time and patience, unlike IRL.
Well, except some pay2win and gacha games, you auto-lose when you play those game
| As crazy as it sounds I actually play for fun rather than for competition, and I happen to LIKE having fun.
| To have fun and escape reality for a while.
| Dunno, maybe just because it's too late to stop
When I was a kid I played video games because of the crazy worlds and things I could experience in them
Bit after a while it just became natural, just part of the routine
| To escape from the stressful and cruel reality.
| I grew up with it at a very young age of 2.
I remember my sister playing RE:1/3 and I playing games like Destruction Derby Raw on the PSX.
Ever since then, I played video games throughout my entire childhood. It kept me busy during turbulent times, and made me meet all kinds of good people thanks to online gaming.
| Each way of escapism is good...as long as it's virtual.
| It's fun, it allows you to experience various stories on a much more deep level than any other media, it's sometimes just satisfying to pull off some crazy gameplay-related stuff.
And it's a coping mechanism for stress. Tons of stress that requires tons of coping. Kinda unhealthy, but works.
| for the sake of playing it
| i like clicking on people on the other team
| I play for fun mostly, but it is excellent at distracting me from various problems and keeps me grounded in reality
| it become like a drink, the tasteless ones I drink to survive, the delicious ones however tends to lessen my chance of survival
| It's nothing different from watching movies or listening to music or anything else. You simply consume information you are interested in.
| I play games because I love crushing the opposition, for the depth and strategy the combat in some games brings, or if its neither, to get lost in a world unlike any other
I really like fighting games
Also/Or in other words, Im still waiting for the PC port for Monster Hunter World, because fuck if im going to buy a PS4 Pro just to play it, Capcom hurry up before League of Legends devours my soul, its already 20% of the way there and still going
| Dunno why
| Like seriously idfk, i got my GameCube and all started there, but nowadays i could say because of the good stories, the unique gameplay, or just for games that try something fucking new
| Because reading a book doesn't hold my attention as well.
| Escapism
| Because real life has limitations.
| lately pretty much isolation. all I've been playing recently is cs:go or insurgency basically, I don't even like it, but people talk out loud and it's the only games I have where people voice chat.
| OP here.
I should answer as well, should not I?
I think I have three reasons.
-Games are fun, it helps.
-Games are art, it makes your heart beat.
-Games are philosophy, it's good for the mind.
| Video games stabilize my depression and make me happy when very few tbings typically do.
