Originally posted by egotrip I just thought I would mention that I go jogging every night at around ten o'clock. The only time it's ever given me an adrenaline rush was when I was listening to my music a little too loud and didn't notice the car coming from behind me with its headlights off till it blew past me at about 50mph on a 25. On the note of rushes from video games, one comes clearly to mind, way WAY back in the day when I played runescape (yes, I admit it) I decided to wander in the wilderness for some reason. (this was before clue scrolls and the like). I had just bought my gleaming set of full steel and I thought I was on top of the world, then suddenly I get with that spell that binds you and I have little blue sparks flying at me dealing truck loads of damage. I can feel the adrenaline and I start to shake as I down all the fish in my inventory and run for the south. I did make it back with about 7 health left. This moment is from way WAY back in the day of my gaming career but I can still remember it clearly because of the rush it gave me. There have been more since then, but I remember that one especially clearly. I think alot of it relates to the full loot. ~Skryre |

man, I really like all these darkfall threads... totally the same in every single thread... Some guys like it/ love it, others hate it... spam, spam, spam... why they hate it, why they hate it, why it sucks, why it is so cool... Those of you who like the game... be glad and happy, play it and write your experiences on the darkfall forum. Those of you who don't like the game... let the others like it and just don't write shit about Darkfall. It seems that Darkfall is fun for a nice playerbase here and just let them have fun, because that's the point of a game - fun. But I'm just annoyed or better nerved by 1000000 Darkfall threads being all the same... just my 2 cents... pain P.S. don't try to change someones opinion, because everyone is allowed to have his own opinion!

"Mortality outside of a computer and we know nothing of real life"...pretty strong words from two forum pvpers. I bet trolling in the Darkfall forum is what gives you the adrenaline rush.
Yes I do get a rush from playing full-loot mmos. I never got that feeling in a PVE mmo, and thats why I like games like Darkfall and UO. I also get the rush when I watch my footballteam, and that rush is better than the mmo rush. I used to get the adrenaline rush when we had arrival of major car accidents at the x-ray department I used to work, but I dont get that rush now when I threat dying kids with cancer.
I dont know why I get the adrenaline rush from a footballmatch or a videogame, but I just love it. Maybe its the fear of having to grind npcs if I lose my stuff :) |

Slamming the OP for having an adrenaline rush in a video game? Some speak as if this is a bad thing ....... how strange. To me things like an "Adrenaline Rush" in a game are what defines how much I'm enjoying the game. It's just a level of immersion that can't be had with every game ....... very few to be honest. Like when, in game, I jump off a tall cliff into a lake or river and get that feeling of falling in the pit of my stomach. I get that every time while playing Darkfall. Does it mean that it's the greatest game ever made? No, it just means that I find it to be a very immersive game. That's a good thing and it seems I'm not alone. For those that don't get these feelings while playing a game. I don't know what to tell ya, perhaps you could just shave your head and stroke your epeen on a forum site somewhere and get whatever it is your looking for.

Well, if DF can give me the same rush that i had being a perma overt jedi being tracked down by a BH in SWG pre-cu then i can't wait to try it out. That was the some of the funniest times i ever had and if anyone that never had the oppurtunity to get that feeling while playing a game, just missed out. |

Originally posted by huxflux2004 bullshit You can get a rush in a game, you can get a rush cliffjumping off a 130 foot cliff, running from the cops. you don't have to be dumb to kick it
I get what you are saying, but the fact is that he is holding gaming as his holding rush in life. Im not sure what "dumb" has to do with it being that alot of people make alot more money than most of us doing dumb things, but there are alot more functional means of lift to get a rush. Gaming should be fun, a release, to forget the real world, not to be alive. Not to feel that rush of excitment and fear, happiness, all at the same time. That was my point... just go outside and find your mortality outside of a computer, regardless of if I think darkfall sucks or not. Its pathetic.
Dude, we are geeks and nerds, and we like to get rushes and hard-ons and strokes when playing games. We will recognize you as the ultimate human being, and will come to you to discuss all our precious real life experiences. You know so much.
Now can you please stfu and let us enjoy our hobby, Mr. Real Lifer?
erm... my wife gives me rushes... i'll leave in the middle of a fleet fight (eve) if she is around and starts rubbing my shoulders. no comparison at all there.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please? |
