Why do you play video games?
I have a stressful job and I find playing games therapeutic... What about you?
English
#Destiny
-
As an escape, real life sucks ass and I have somewhere to go thanks to video games
-
I have always loved video games, and played them since I was a kid. Then they were (and still are) a place where imagination came to life and was playable. Now they are the perfect thing to take the edge off to a bad day. Or just relax after all the craziness in life.
-
Video games have been a part of my life since I was in kindergarten. For me, it's simply an awesome way to pass the time, relieve stress, play with or against others, and explore imaginative and interesting places and such.
-
Relaxing & just release stress. Like for example you having a rough day & that one guy at work/school being annoying A'f? You got gta v. Go beat some persons ass there.
-
Because I can't sing or dance...
-
I have played only Bungie games starting with Marathon. What I enjoy most is the visual environments they create. As a lifelong science fiction fan, Marathon and Halo were kind of like the books had become real and I really loved that. I still view gaming that way even though Destiny has more of a fantasy vibe. I detest fantasy, but the game is really pretty and fun to play - so I can over look that.
-
Honestly it keeps me from spending money. Since I've already bought everything, and with all the stuff coming out, I can save a lot. Unless people are out doing something then I'll go out.
-
After work/school/writing music and working out. I like to smoke and relax, destiny is perfect
-
Because it's the one thing that makes everything in the outside world not matter.
-
Easy, fun way to spend time. Anything with an unusual amount of difficulty I will avoid in a game.
-
Same as you man
-
procrastination (:
-
Escape from reality.
-
1. Theyre fun 2.Nerds rule the world 3. I hate sports and the "jocks" that play them
-
It's a passion. I've loved them since I was a kid, it's been an outlet for me. The worlds that they creat in these games become a place to go so you can get away from reality for just a little bit. There really is nothing like it.
-
So I don't kill people for real I can just kill them in the game over and over
-
Games are fun.
-
Its fun... Clears my mind of depressing thoughts... Stress reliever
-
My life and the people in it suck so I like to immerse myself in a better one (which is also why I read and watch tv) video games are the best bc there's like minded people that I can actually stand
-
Unhealthy addiction
-
To relieve stress. But, its kinda hard to do that WHEN BUNGIE KEEPS F*CKING ME OVER!
-
So time passes without it being boring
-
exactly the same reason OP said
-
I'm extremely competitive and I want to be the best. It's also a way to relax and forget about the bs real life stuff I have to deal with, which isn't much compared to some people but it still helps. I also like meeting people on there. You can have some pretty good conversations and make friends.
-
Entertainment.
-
I find it fun...
