Forums - General - Do violent video games make you feel anfry and agressive?

When I was little, I played several violent video games on my N64 and was a troublemaker. Since then I havn't really been allowed to play violent video games, but now that I have been 17 for 8 months I have been able to. Do violent video games make anyone else feel violent? Different games seem to do different things; Smash bros does nothing unless I play it for several hours, in which case I become somewhat mean. If I play for prolonged periods I get endless thoughts of characters in brawl getting pummled senselessly. Going on killing spress in sandbox games tends to make me more agressive for a time. Does this happen to most people, or is it just me?

Also, since I havn't played very violent games in a long time, I find I do not like ultraviolent video games, particularly FPS games. For people who like these games- did you wait until you were 15 or older to play them, or did you play them all the time since you were little?

 

edit- mods, could you please chance "anfry" to "angry"? Thank you!

After about 100 kills of so in metal gear i get a drained feeling where i can't look at it anymore (I usually snipe enemies from afar and always see blood spray after every hit).

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

No, insanely hard games do though. I sliced up the coating on one of chairs with a ruler I was so mad once.



no,but very hard games make me

Only if the game is frustrating. Happened a few times like in FFX where I had to evade the thunder for 100 times X_X.






no, not really



I never get angry or aggressive...



violent video games satisfy my anger



i remember that my friend became quite more aggressive when GTA4 came out, but i think he was just using that as an excuse to punch people.

personally, no. Although Mario Kart Wii has made me felt that way more than once...



The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is the best Zelda title ever made.
