What Guilty Gaming Pleasures Do You Enjoy?
Thanks to GamerDad for its editorial discussing some of the guilty pleasures involved in playing video games. The author, in trying to define why he enjoys games so much, rhapsodizes: "When 3D games run at a high framerate and wow me with effects, I'm drooling like any other graphics loving moron. I don't need them, but I do respect and admire them." He continues along this train of thought: "Another guilty pleasure is the need to blow things up. Why is it that's so damn liberating? I just love to see things go boom. Zombies, space ships, tanks, cars, buildings, robots, aliens, demons - but not often people, since I'm kinda squeamish with that." What's your guiltiest videogaming-related pleasure?
I've gotten better about it, but framerate used to be my biggest guilty pleasure. Everyone knows it doesn't matter if your game runs at 60fps or 600fps, but watching that number jump above 100 is fun.
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
the few gigs of MAME rom's I've got floating around my universe.
... all that investment, and finally, i get something out of it: free access to all the arcade games i could possibly ever want to play.
i haven't put a quarter (or 50 cents) into a videogame machine in years. MAME was like the 'nirvana'-point of arcade gaming for me
the new stuff doesn't interest me.

He had a Playstation 2 set-up with Vice City which had just been released, now, being a complete beginner to the gaming world *OS X geek you see* I was pretty well drawn into the sheer brutality of pulling some young broad out a moving car, then proceeding to smash up line after line of innocent civilians
Months later, I still play just to get my police record "topped up", sod the missions!
And yes, I thought it was rather cruel to smack an old lady in the chops with a steel bar, but... but... oh nevermind
Yes Animal Crossing. It is like crack wrapped in a cute package.
Anybody who's finished a boss in Ikaruga will know what I'm talking about when I say there is nothing like cruising effortlessly through dense showers of bullets and unleashing finely-timed, perfectly-executed explosive death on your enemies, and then watching them explode, and then doing it again, over and over again, for the entire level. In chains of three of the same colour enemy.

Finding every single person on a level of Carmageddon and running them down. It was nothing to do with getting enough time to finish the level, just about pure-grade destruction.
Carmageddon was great for that. Didn't look very good, but was enormous evil fun.

Freedom Force, the squad-based superhero tactical RPG, got me in the tutorial when the narrator says, "Why don't you try picking up this light post and using it as a club?" It's fun using everything (except buildings, unfortunately) as a weapon. Cars, light posts, benches, phone booths, hot dog carts... it's a fun game.

Of course, the guilty pleasures of videogaming would have to include playing those adult games all day.

A few guilty pleasures over the years include:
Chun Li from Street Fighter (hey, I was really young - no, I didn't play with one hand)
Narc - first game I ever played that was extremely violent and very graphic
Mortal Kombat [1 and 2] - I loved the first two MK games, the gameplay was great for the time, but the guilty pleasure was obviously the finish moves
King of Fighters - bounce bounce :) More hilarious than anything else
GTA - I never bothered with the missions until the third game, but running over people, running from the cops, etc., was friggin great. Once in GTA 1, I killed every single cop in the city(there were a limited number in the first game!). Then I blew up every single car except the Jeep Wrangler. The best fun, though, was setting up a huge ring of blown up vehicles surrounding my guy, and then proceeding to lob explosives into crowds of people and mowing down cops as they struggle to make their way through the wall of rubble.
Quake 1-3 - high-framerate gib flying fun!
Max Payne - silly story and game elements "ripped off" of the Matrix
And so much more...
Cheers!

I can't believe no one has mentioned Dead or Alive. The whole series is based and the concept of 'guilty pleasure'. I mean, has anyone played this game just for the fighting?
I first saw this game (DOA1) in an arcade in France and just coudn't take my eyes off it... well, I coudnt take my eyes off the bouncing.
Physics based videogames just became a reality to me.
In the same vein, the only reason to play the Jurassic Park based Trespasser game was to look down.
Got to love em'.
Yep, there's no guiltier pleasure than seeing Sephiroth in a hot tub with the muscular Mukki, or asking the Honeybee Inn honeys to put some pretty makeup on his face ^_^
I love RPGs because I can become godlike, and kill random monsters with a single blow... and once I can do that I can get into mroe random battles and resolve them more easily, gain exp more easily, kill monsters more easily... ad infinitum.
Guilty pleasure #1: Playing UT2003 with everything cranked. Same for Unreal 2's XMP Demo (Don't have U2 yet)
#2: Boomsticks! Shotgun's seem to be my big weapon. Be it the one in Half-life, GTA3, DOOM, etc. Boomsticks are sweet.
#3: Summon spells in the Final Fantasy series (and maybe any other Squaresoft game)... Nothing more fun than calling out a nice spell that targets all enemies, and isn't affected by the Reflect/Wall spell. Best abuse ever: Final Fantasy VII - Grab Bahamut-Zero attatch a Magic x4 support materia, then equip a W Summon materia and Knights of the Round. Summon Bahamut 1st (for 4 times!) then Knights, go make some popcorn or grab a soda and come back and see everything go goodbye!

I have spent lots of hours recently playing this game. I always find it fun to play games that are hard to explain to other people. :)
Having sex with a hooker in the back of my van and then killing her.

There was something oddly captivating about letting the room fill with monsters (they infinitely respawned untill you ended the level) and then just blasting away on fully automatic. It was also oddly enjoyable to run around shooting at them just enough to cause massive brawls. I kinda liked watching a flock of Demons systematically assert their authority through sheer numbers.
Depending on how much mayhem you could handle, you'd get completion rates in the thousands of percentages. Mmmm... dead pixilated monsters.
[Fuck Beta]
o0t!
I had a friend who had an import of DOA1, when I would start winning against him he would put the option "bouncing breasts" on and I could never win again...and I liked it ;- )
You can't take the sky from me...
I'd say Burnout2 is my guilty pleasure. This game has zero plot, almost no point to it. You drive a car a short distance, and try to cause an accident. Your "score" for each round is the $$ racked up in insurance settlements.
Something about that just kind of makes you feel .... good. I've played it all evening after a bad day, and it just makes me feel better. Nothing more satisfying than when you can roll a bus (huge $$ settlement.)
In the original Command & Conquer game (the one before Red Alert), when the soldiers were killed, they yelled this brutal scream.. uuuaahhHHHHHHHHHH!!! So, I'd use some game cheat and modify all weapons to be lasers, and I'd just listen to the lasers killing all the men (it was quite entertaining).
:)
That's what I missed about Red Alert.. they toned down the sounds of the guys getting aced. I was talking to a friend about making a mod of RA with some of the original sounds, but he thought I was insane
My sig can beat up your sig.
One guilty pleasure is taking a character, whether it be Diablo II or NexusTK, and just leveling as high as I can get. My other is doing stupid little things in the game just to make more money. I would kill those dang squirrels for hours in Nexus. *sigh* But I also love mayhem. Every so often I'll pop in GTA:VC, head on over to the stadium, (or to the golf course) and just run back and forth across the highest level, killing people again and again and again. You'd think that they'd hear a report somewhere like "500 people have been shot, blown up, chopped to bits, or beated bloody at the entrance to Bloodbanger's Stadium!" and they'd stop coming around, but since they're so stupid, they deserve to die. *bwahahahaha* And hey, you only get minimal cops up there. They're easy enough to take out in such small numbers (one or two every few minutes)
*slight crashing sound*
The slashdot leftist majority still feels guilt? I thought it went out of style.
Happiness is relative, Based upon the way we live.
Not only can you level up characters in Disgaea, but items as well (by entering into them and fighting, and moving living bonuses around). I have almost 50hrs on that game off of two rentals.
I don't usually like leveling up that much, but I loved breeding strong monsters on Dragon Warrior Monsters, and would go to great leveling up lengths to breed a strong monster (the child's stats were roughly equal to the parents' sum divided by four, iirc). I broke the clock in that game (it stops recording time after a hundred hours).
Sounds like someone has yet to throw off their puritan shackles. Continue the pleasure, and drop the guilt.
Disturbing, frightening, and horribly addictive. It creates guilt because the premise should be utterly repulsive...and yet the experience itself is quite the opposite...
**gulp***...is that wrong?
As far as guilty pleasures...I was excited and played Majestic right when it was released. And what went from "really cool idea" ended up being "talk to AiM bots and watch a RealVideo clip".
/FF 4 rocks
And I still play the original X-COM. Often.
But personally the biggest form of guilt pleasure I get is reading stuff online where people harp on FF7. Just because so many people started playing the Final Fantasy games at 7, they think it's the best. Silly fools.
--Reverend Raven
Desperate days demand dire deeds.
God mode, get all the weapons. Then run through the game like a mad man. w00!
Pretty Pictures!
I also really enjoy playing dumbed down kids games. Mario party is a perfect example but there are others as well. I've played just about all of the Putt Putt and Pajama Sam games for no apparent reason.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
I'm not usually one to fall for consumer deathtraps but if they're trying something stupidly different, I'll go for it
Look it's a joke about my sig IN MY SIG! LOL!
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII you can visit other officers and lieges, and when your bond with that officer is exactly 42, you randomly get chances to assassinate them. If you save at the right time, you can just retry until you get it. So my friend and I made our own Kingdom, and we tried to take over China through assassinations. Apparently if you assassinate all the officers and liege of a kingdom, the kingdom goes away.
In Enemy Territory, I'll forego helping out teammates or trying to win our team the match to practice trick-jumping to cool places.
I don't know how Morrowind is supposed to be played, but my friend has it, and whenever we play, we work on conquering towns by killing all the villagers in it.
Usually I restrict myself to exploiting bugs and loop-holes of the in-game world (as in not blatant cheating), but I used to play this free MMO called Graal (it was based on Zelda, and was originally just Zelda Online until they changed the graphics), and I loved to use trainers in that game.
One of my favorite things to do was help n00bs get their items so that they wouldn't get beat up (PKing was rampant), so when someone would ask me where to get an item, I would tell them to follow me, I would hit the button on my trainer, lift up a bush, and out would fall a lvl3 sword. Unfortunately, the company began to take drastic anti-cheating measures, and the poor n00bs who got my hacked items ended up with their characters in jail! The guilty part of this is that it really made me laugh, and I would have done it to my friends if I could get out of the jail.
Graal was a game with low death penalties and you could hit another player almost anywhere in the game, so one of the best pasttimes was to hunt people down. Me and a friend changed our names and appearance and hunted our newbie friend down once or twice, and I remember one time on a small server when I was a little bored, someone named Lycia was bothering me or something, so I yelled out "Lycia hunt!" and about 6 or 7 of us chased her down and killed her.
...because, in the end, a game only needs to be fun. If you're having fun, there's nothing to feel guilty about.
The beauty is that there are many different kids of fun to be had -- visceral/reflexy fun; intellectual/puzzley fun; compulsive collection fun; competitive fun; violent ass-kicking fun... etc. Not one of these should inspire guilt. Fun is fun.
Come to think of it, the only true guilty pleasure would be playing a game not because it was fun, but because you were trying to prove a point to someone else.
I've never understood conservative's hatred of guilt. That talk all the time about family values and responsibility, but one shouldn't feel guilty if you do something wrong. And they think liberals are screwed up.
Loved it in 1981. Still love it via MAME today.

Where are all the male MMORPG players that spend their entire online life as a female? Or do you wish not to admit it? :)
Playing Jumpman back on my C64 and getting him killed just to hear the scream... Did this in Lemmings too.
Teamkilling and causing wrecks in racing games. Running over teammates with tanks/vehicles, and then denying it, is entertaining. The old days of BF1942 was heaven for TKing.
Admit it - you all like to TK here and there occasionally, or have the desire to at least...
If you've ever owned or had access to a copy of Tetris, you know the feeling. Bored, left with nothing to do, you feel compelled to pick up the game and play it. You know that all you are doing is sorting a bunch of shapes into lines, and that there will be no reward in the end, but you keep on going anyways. And, as it speeds up, you become frustrated with the game, but can't stop playing. And when you finally lose, you feel releaved that you don't need to bother with it for a while.
And then you realize you own a copy of Dr Mario.
It's a viscious cycle.
I've got to say using the Impact Hammer in the original UT was quite easily the most fun possible. Sure, anyone with a weapon can own you...but when you take out someone, EVERYBODY knows it :D.

When all is said and done, nothing changes...
Nothing is more satisfying than blowing up Nazi zombies in any of the Metal Slug games.
My guiltiest pleasure is probably playing all through the evening, night, and some of the next morning in a marathon gaming session, and not getting any work done the next day due to the eventual need for sleep.
Max Payne 2. I don't feel guilty about liking the game, see, I thought it was good, if short.
But is it normal to pump some ammo into a dead guy, then throw a grenade at him, repeat until you're out of ammo, reload, repeat indefinitely?
Just to see how the dead bodies flop around?
Other than that...just about the entire GameCube-exclusive library gets me pretty excited. Including Luigi's Mansion. And worse, I can't beat Luigi's Mansion.
...from owning all those I couldn't get as a kid.
And yes, I do feel SOME guilt over it.
But then again, they are all *MINE*
(Best part is that it's an old picture, I have more now, muahahaha)

It's evil, it's annoying, and I should be banned from all servers for doing it, but at 4am when all playing abilities have left, I can't go to bed without doing it once or twice.
I always enjoyed pumping an AK47 clip ino the corpse as it lay on the ground. This used to bewilder your teammates and give you a bad reputation...
GOURANGA!!!!
Running 3D games at the lowest resolution possible. 640x480 is getting harder to do, but 800x600 satisfies -- it has a "feel" to it. And it plays faster. :)
So, I confess, I enjoy the occasional game of Gunbound There is the one item that switches your current position with that of a teammate. Jump off a cliff, on the way down Team Teleport, and enjoy the confused cries of the masses wondering how I am still alive. No penalty for it either, yet. Most of the time team killing costs you a few rank points, but they hadnt thought of this yet.
SAILING MISHAP
I now refuse to pull it off my shelf.
Its kind of nice that they're ruining the 3rd game, cause now i wont get addicted to it. I dont like card games. Let me hack and slash and pick up shit and level up. Thats all i want.
I want 2D games back.
For example, going through Deus Ex and stealing all the plants from all the offices in the Unatco building and putting them in my own office (looks like a greenhouse!). Or opening all the taps in the washing room. Or playing with the basket ball.
Or alternatively, playing with the Warthog in Halo. The idea being that you find an inaccessible spot and then try to get your Warthog into it. I swear, they could make an entire game out of that alone: just gives us difficult jumps, small ledges, narrow gaps, and obstacles, and let nature do the rest...
guilty:
In Star Wars Galaxies I've found myself spinning the graphical image of chick-characters so I can peer up their dresses.
For my part, I suppose, just playing games is a "guilty pleasure." See, my wife doesn't like computer games, and she wishes I wouldn't play them...but I do it anyway. Usually, though, she insists I wear headphones while doing so, as some games' sound effects are so bass-heavy, especially through a subwoofer-equipped speaker system, she complains of "feeling" them.
Be who you are...and be it in style!

...Is the fact that I know the following:
(1) In Final Fantasy VIII when you use scan on Selphie (is that her name? All I really remember is that the game sucked) it won't allow you to rotate the camera to see up her dress. You can with every other character, just not her.
(2) However, you can see up Garnet's dress in the ending of Final Fantasy IX. Was looking for a desktop background when I found this, going through frame by frame for that perfect shot. When she runs down and jumps in Zidane's arms he swings her around and for one frame you can see up her dress. No underwear, lotsa bush. Almost made up for having to play through that slow assed game.

I would spend hours perfecting my game of myth: the fallen lords. The demo had me hooked and I bought it on my 17th birthday, it was massively addicting. If you could line up a few dwarves you could end up shooting molotov cocktails across the whole map. I'd have to say the guiltiest pleasure all was trying to beat every level without a casualty. I miss that game.
For me, it's Minesweeper in Windows. Pick Custom field, make it as large as is possible, 24 x 30, and put 200 mines in. See if you can clear the board, time is irrelevant, it's accuracy that counts.
Been doing this for years. It's just the right size to make it difficult, you have to really deduce things out. It also requires a bit of luck, as you'll often run into spots where you know there are mines, but it could be one of two possibilities.

downloading the games from P2P.
$60 a game? Whatever.
GTA, the Mother of All Guilty Pleasures.
Favorite #1: Getting myself on some perch above street level, picking up the sniper rifle, and taking out EVERYONE. Especially fun to clip cops as they're coming at you, and blow legs, heads, etc. right off. Then add a little "GESUNTHEIT" and some "GUNSGUNSGUNSGUNSGUNSGUNSGUNSGUNS" into the mix, and next thing you know, shock-and-awe.
Favorite #2: "GIVEUSATANK". 'nuff said.
When old DOS games started losing their novelty I used to wreak havoc on the WAV files. My squealy prepubescent tenor made for a pretty foulmouthed baseball announcer.
And the interesting part is that I'm straight, but I always found it funny that Luigi had a hot-pink outfit in Smash Brothers. All speculation is tossed right out the window with Mario and Luigi where Luigi and the unbelievably bishounen Prince flirt with each other and exchange tokens of affection. It's done in such a comical way (and doesn't seem remotely out of character for Luigi) and done in such a way that Nintendo can deny everything. Classic.
Playing the old Shifter mod for Starsiege Tribes. Having a great, evil macro set up; buy a tactical nuke, launch it in my own base, and then switch teams before it detonates.
Repeat once.
Respawn in as engineer. Repair everything you blew up. Change teams. Repeat.
Rinse, lather, repeat until the map ends or someone finally gets wise to you and kicks you off the server. Having games where you have 900+ points where the next runner-up has perhaps 50, is just plain silly fun.

Why Guilty Gear XX of course.
Of course, my inner-Jew takes deep offense at the idea that pleasure (or anything else for that matter) can exist without the opportunity for guilt. Maybe you are of a much more secure personality than I, and truly can enjoy something without being self-conscious about it. If so, then I tip my hat to you, but I also ask that you allow us weaker souls to wallow in our inescapable self-loathing, rather than tempting us with an ideal we know to be unreachable. Believe it or not, we really do like it down here in the real world.

Yep, I'm addicted to the sniper rifle in Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat.
When I come home from a stressed day I love to pull out the rifle, clean it, kiss it, take aim while on a balcony or dark room, breathe slowly, follow the target, and the pull the trigger while having an orgasm! BAM!!!
Another headshot, stress level falling, mind is at peace.

I love finding new ways to blow things up and finding what will get the cops after me with more than 4 Stars.
I found that by lining up any number of cars right next to each other and using a shotgun to make the first one blow up, you can set off a REALLY cool chain reaction of cars blowing up (GTA VC). The strength of the blast of the first car is good enough to start the next car in sucession and so on. Now that the Game is on Xbox, the game has WAY more memory than the PS2 so you can go off and get more cars and not worry about the cars disappearing.
Also, the Cheat in GTA VC to make the pedestrians riot is REALLY fun and is a great way to make cash. I park a car in 8-Balls Pay n' Spray and just wait for the pedestrians riot (a few seconds) and just go wild with any weapon. There's a Vest around the corner just in case. You can spend hours just joining in on the riot.
Also, try the Tank Cheat in GTA3 and roll around the city. It's REALLY fun to just watch the Stars pile up.
