Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

The main way I browse reddit is by looking at the current top posts/front page, if he hadn't reposted this, I would have never seen it. So what's the problem? Am I doing reddit wrong?

[–]aengvs 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The majority of the pictures posted to reddit are posted without credit by people who didn't create them. Reddit isn't a site for original content, it's a content aggregator. OP probably just found this picture posted somewhere randomly, he never claimed to create it and there's no reason for that to be assumed. Reposts aren't as big of a problem as some people like to make them out to be. You probably upvote countless reposts everyday without even realising.

It's about competition, it's a guy thing. We may get pissed off for hours but finally conquering an adversary is such a gratifying feeling of dominance that it makes it all worth it.

example: just spent 3 hours with my friend on the SAME level of super mario lost levels. finally beat it and ran around the house cheering. We're 23 years old.

"mile high club" and "new squadron record" are almost exactly the same thing, except "mile high club" is longer and the guys shoot back at you. but basically, if you can do one, you can do the other.

i found some of the other stuff in the game way harder. like "no fighting in the war room". i think i lost about three days just on section of that map.

[–]ThePr0paganda 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No Fighting in the War Room was only hard until I figured out that the checkpoints only appeared if you reached that place with a certain amount of minutes left. New Squadron Record was pretty easy, in my opinion.

A game needs to be challenging to be fun. But it just pisses me off when it's obvious the computer is cheating. Like in certain racers, the opponents are so far behind it would take them a minute to catch up to you if you stopped completely and waited for them, yet suddenly they passed you after 10 seconds. >_>

But then, when you actually defeat that boss (Ornstein and Smough) you feel like a total bad ass. It's totally worth the frustration in the end.

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't see why it'd be difficult to understand for someone else. Compare it to people working out: the vast majority don't really enjoy the process of getting sweaty and pushing their muscles to their limit, but do it for the feeling of satisfaction once they realise they've gotten through it and improved.

My personal pet peeve for parents watching you play games is the long, blank stare followed by "... so, are you winning?".

[–]FirstNewGuyReturns 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Probably followed closely by an explanation by you. "Well, you don't exactly "win" at this game. You progress, and get better and it kind-of goes on infinitely until you fail and have to restart..." or some such.

Yeah, I hear ya.

The reward for the amount of frustration many games cause simply isn't worth it. I used to play and get horribly frustrated as a kid, now I just turn the difficulty down or quit. It's the main reason I rarely play above normal nowadays. Some games do it right, and it's somewhat enjoyable to accomplish something, but most games don't.

[–]iwasayoungwarthog 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

i don't know if many people would work out if they never looked any better after though. That physical reward isn't really present in games.

[–]shoegazer666 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That physical reward isn't really present in games.

Erm, the release of neurochemicals in your brain isn't a physical reward? I don't know if you exercise but it does feel good without necessarily making you look good after. So does sex and booze and pie.

[–]didihearthatright 7 points8 points ago

You are right, sex and pie is basically the same thing.

[–]iwasayoungwarthog 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

i agree that the exercise when you accomplish it feels good, but there is no lasting feeling, you go to the gym, bust your ass off, feel good and then look good, all i'm saying is that last step doesn't happen.

You don't become an Adonis playing games and that's why many people work out because they are working towards that goal. I'm not saying it doesn't feel good, just that it's not a perfect comparison.

[–]shoegazer666 -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Exactly; that's what an analogy is. The end result may be different but the process is pretty much the same: you work hard in order to get satisfaction. No need to be pedantic about it.

[–]iwasayoungwarthog -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

no but i'm saying there is a step beyond that which you get with gaming.

like if you could play a game and become better at something outside of that game then it would be ok, but at the moment it's like working out so you can stay looking the same, most people wouldn't do that.

it's more akin to bungee jumping or something, it doesn't look fun from the outside but once you've done it and got that rush you know why you did it

[–]Deto 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's that satisfaction you get when you finally overcome the obstacle. That's the reward.

[–]ethraax 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So when someone's swearing at his team in MW2 for 15 minutes and then loses, that's the reward?

[–]Deto 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, the idea is that they must win enough that the enjoyment of those wins compensates for the frustration of the losses. And then of course, a string of losses can make the eventual win that much more satisfying.

[–]jaxnos 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree completely... Yet it feels like this logic does not apply in the same way when I'm playing CoD multiplayer.

[–]EcureuilSecret 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, most people I know who work out in their own time do enjoy the work out very much. It's not just the satisfaction of improving yourself, there's a rush you get from the physical activity as well. The more you push, the greater the rush.

This is exactly how I feel playing the Half-Life games. *Before I play the game: "Oh boy!!!! I really want to play Half-Life!!!" *During the game: "Dammit not this part!!!!!

Dear god, this sounds like my husband for the first couple of days he was playing Skyrim. "if they'd just done it this way" and "I hate it when games do x and y but not z" and "they should have done this thing like Oblivion. It just feels so underpowered." All he does when I'm watching him play is bitch.

Now, when I go play Skyrim off in the bedroom, all I hear is "Come here and look at this fucking cool thing you haven't found yet!" and "oh, wow, you totally missed the best thing I've ever seen in a game" and "did you read such and such a book? The history is just so in depth..."

And now I've somehow designated myself as potion bitch because when he's asleep, I'll play his guy for the express purpose of making potions for him.

MHC wasn't even hard; and I'm not trying to act like a "so pro gaymur." You just gotta know to advance, aim and shoot at the same time; and when to use flashbangs. The ridiculous linearity and the "breach" helped.

An even worse feeling is when you're playing a game like N+ or Super Meat Boy and a friend says "let me try." And then proceeds to demolish the level in two attempts.

Ive had my mom ask me why do I get frustrated playing a game, if I'm not having fun whats the point.Shes a huge scrabble player and loves those 1000+ piece puzzles...I think people who dont play video games dont understand the idea of them. Playing a game thats challenging IS fun.

Funny story. I was at a con and this big guy kept getting his ass kicked, wouldn't even let me play he was trying to impress two girls that joined in and watched him fail rather hard; they were also noobs but didn't call the game "cheap" like he did. One of those ladies was nice enough to let me try and on my first time playing this shit I beat the entire round on my own while watching him fail the entire time.

You speak things that occur in my life. Tell me more, prophet.

Also, I dunno if it's just me, but, whenever I get super pissed at a game, I lose my concentration on it and just end up pissing myself off more by doing shitty from being so mad.

At that point, I'd suggest just taking a deep breathe, and playing something else for a bit and then coming back to the game again with a fresh start to retry it.

Yeah, so, it turns out that while gaming is generally fun, when you're frustrated while trying to do something in the game, you're basically building a future reward. You're working hard at something you want, which is to have beaten the level, or to have gotten better at playing the game, or whatever. It's good because it's your own goal, not someone else's.

Next time your parents complain that you don't seem to be having fun, you should formulate a response about how this is actually practicing delayed gratification, since that's what it is.

You have to acknowledge that you're playing because there's a really challenging part you're determined to overcome.

Sometimes THAT'S the fun of gaming. That satisfaction of showing the game who's boss.

It's either I look too frustrated to be having "fun" when I should be, or it's just a game--it's no big deal. -_-

"It doesn't sound like you're having fun" is code for "shut the fuck up, it's a fucking video game".

And the best part is when I'm frustrated and say something like "God dammit Meat Boy" in a moderately annoyed manner, it's almost certain that someone will chime in with "HEY ARE YOU OK?" and make it a hundred times worse.

My mom does this so often withmy swearing brother that she is sensitive to it for any level of exasperation. She was scolding me every once in a while for hlwhen I would quietly say "gah!" after dying repeatedly in Skyrim. I scolded her back.

That sure does take me back when I was trying to get the Mile High Club achievement, or when I was a nerdy little weakling at Trials HD and was getting my ass handed to me by the Extreme difficulty tracks. Loads of fun was had, though.

So true. Doesn't apply to all games, but although I love playing COD, I find myself raging far more often than actually enjoying the multiplayer...

Are you me? Or do I have a split personality and made this comic? My mom is exactly like that. When I rage about a game she always says to stop playing it cause "games are for fun".

I never understood how people could get openly upset and start yelling or throwing fits about video games. My younger brother does this all the time, and it perplexes me. Maybe someone can explain to me why they keep playing when they are only getting more aggravated. I also play a ton of games, and I'm much better at games then he is. Seriously I can't understand why people do this, I love video games more than anything, but I find it's important to never take anything too seriously.
