What Games Have Actually Affected You?

Posted by Cliff on from the memorable-experiences dept.

FortKnox asks: "What games have affected you simply by playing them? What games immersed you so well into its environment that you actually felt different after playing it? For me, I'd have to go with System Shock 2. Basically the predecessor to Deus Ex, it was the only game that made me so afraid that the minute I heard a matron mother, I turned the other way and ran. What game scared you to death, or made you think after playing it?"

    You know what just happened to me? I was passing by cars stuck in traffic on my motorcycle, and this one idiot blocked me, 3 times in a row, very deliberatly.
    I kick his back door and tell him to get out of the way, he asks me what my problem is. I tell him he's in my way, that's my problem, get out of the way. He then kept the high-school bully speech on track and asked me if I want to fight. I tell him no, I want to keep driving, to look ahead and behind and to notice that he's in everyone's way. He keeps asking me if I want to fight.

    Long story short I showed him that he cannot stop me from passing him while he's stuck in traffic by taking my bike to the sidewalk and driving off, leaving him stuck in traffic while I move around freely.

    This was offtopic, but at least you get urges that you controll, that bully in his dad's car didn't.
    I'm happy I don't carry a gun, 'cause his brains would be splatered all over the inside of his daddy's car and I would be telling this story to my cellmates instead of posting it here.

    umm youre an idiot...when you are driving a motorcycle...you should be in line in traffic like a car. youre the asshole, youre the one whose brains should be splattered. people in cars shouldnt need to worry about dumbass cyclists pulling by them in a nonexistant special bike lane.

    and yes, i ride as well
