Why do you love Video Games?

For some, video-gaming is just a hobby and for some others, are just the funniest way of entertaining.

The truth is that you are reading this message in this forum, in this webpage, on this right moment because you love videogames, like me.

For me, videogames provide me tons of laughs, intellectual challenge, intense mind action, living a fantasy, being a hero, being a bad guy, in a word... freedom.

so, what are videogames for you?

shouldn't this thread go in the general games discussion? well, anyway, video games to me, are a way to escape reality. to be released from all of my troubles and become immersed into a world filled with action and adventure. the virtual world of video games is like a paradise where people can do everything they ever wanted to do without any consequence. Technology has always interested me whether it was computers or video games or robots or whatever. that may be part of the reason why i love video games so much. But i really can't say the true reason i love video games. mostly because i don't really know the true reason myself.101_king

Excellent way to let your thoughts flow. Thats exactly what I was trying to say.

Although I tried to express my own definition of the reason of why i love video games, I realized in that moment, that I couldn't define it completely. Since it's a emotion it's hard describe it fully with only words.

But I guess, it's about you have already commented guys, it is the sense of living a fantasy without consequences in real life. You can be an epic hero and bring peace to the world, you can beat the bad guys, you can fly, you can meet interesting characters, you can do everything regardless of your looks, age, religion, or ideology. its amazing, isnt it?

There are people who don't like videogames and think they are just a thing for kids. I just think that those people never played a videogame or they didn't played that one they like. Because I think, currently there is videogame for every one uf us out there.

it is, at the very least, a good way to destress yourself, especially for a working guy like me. but once in a while, you'd come across something really special and that game would provide a whole new experience otherwise unreachable in everyday life. that's when you know why you like gaming so much.

Although, sometimes video-gaming provides us moments of relief for stress or even a sort of happiness. We cannot use them as the only way of relieving stress since the human being is a social individual, hence, we must solve real problems through communication, patience, listening and healthy human relantioships.

Probably bacause is the most engaging media nowadays, Is like a new form of art that for me has the potential to surprass movies and literature in terms of artistic quality mainly because of their interactive nature, games provide us with more interesting stories than most movies and books these days, and also is an awesome way to scape from the real world once in a while....I could say a lot more but I'm lazy:lol:Alfredozero

Well, one reason is because I can't go around running over people and shooting them, hijacking their cars, beating them with macheties and baseball bats, flying planes into buildings, fly, kill monsters with a giant sword because they don't exist and more. Obviously I'm not gonna do any of those things but you get the point. It's fun, it's a great part of my life and I love it. SPD_WeBmAsTaH

Nowadays, video-gaming culture is growing enormously and more people are getting connected with the video-games world. Do you think we love videogames because there is child (for those who are not anymore, like me) still inside in every one of us? can only children or children-like hearted people like video games?

for me it is 1 of my forms of entertainment
