    Default Game Frustrations

    Let's see you had a bad day at the office and driving home fromw ork. You're angry and tired and decide to loose yourself playing video games before making dinner. You decide to play something to vent your frustrations of the day...what do you play?

    I bust out the maraca controllers and play Samba de Amigo all night and usually end up forgetting to eat (as in most nights)

    Default Depends what Systems you have

    Depending on what system you prefer : After a hard day I would
    choose something mindless!

    NES - Contra - nothing like blowing up practically everything in site to release some tension.

    PS2 - GTA3 - bar none best stress reliever - hijack a car run over some innocent bystanders and then have a shoot out with the cops..ahhhh very relaxing

    GameCube - tough call - not too much out there.

    Dreamcast - Soul Calibur- hot chicks that can kick ass. The graphics still amaze me.

    XBOX - don't own one so I am not too sure

    N64 - Beetle Adventure Racing - sometimes a racing game is all you need. Cute little beetle bugs , mindless and fun

    Well hope that helps

    For me it's usually GTA or Perfect Dark...and then I keep playing and forget to eat.

    Cel Damage on Gamecube. Nothing beats the frustration better than sending a seeking missle after your victims or sprinkling some grenades right on the weapon powerup area to blow up anyone seeking weapons. Of course I got to remember not to throw my Wavebird in frustration because it's not connected to anything! :wink:

    Mad maestro is very non aggravating, and the william tell overture is great for really pounding on those buttons. Makes the thumb a little sore tho...

    I break out GTA III. Only using a flamethrower and a taxi, I see how many "good guys" I can dust off in 20 minutes...I've given up trying to finish the game, still only 9% through...

    Grand Theft Auto 3, but that answer is too easy. Let's see, what else.....

    -Gunstar Heroes. Blowing up everything in sight IS relaxing.
    -Mario's Picross. Almost hypnotic...
    -A 2D fighter, probably on training mode.
    -Tony Hawk 3. Free skate!

    Halo. Nothing like strapping a plasma grenade to a marine, and watching him fly.

    Just about any shooter works for me. Lately I've found that Giga Wing 1 & 2 and Mars Matrix work especially well when I'm frustrated with something.

    Don't ask me why... it's pretty weird.... but Tiny Toon Adventures for the NES always relaxs me. I think it's because my friend used to get really frustrated at it and I didn't, and the game always reminds me of a certain period of my life that I enjyed.

    Usually Mad Maestro or Gatroo Man. They always seem to calm me down. If I'm looking for a violent game I'd bust out State of Emergancy just for the mass killing factor.

    I'd play Doom or Halo. If I can't get to those at the momment, I'll pull out zelda: OoT and beat the crap out of one of those stones things.

    Nothing better than Die Hard Arcade for Saturn.

    After that you'll get even more pissed and go out to kill somebody.

    I would do the same eventually you'd have to take on as many cops wait for them to bring on the armored truck and uzi's... Only I think it started to effect me in a sort of desensitized way because I had a couple of weird gta-ish dreams so I stopped going on rampages.

    The ones I usually use are Vigilante 8 for the N64 and Mario Kart Double Dash.

    When I owned my Sega CD--Mortal Kombat--I'd set the options so I could simply pummel my opponent.

    On Saturn: Duke Nukem with the god code turned on, rail gun as the active weapon and the button taped down.

    Dreamcast: Dead or Alive 2: Kasumi's moves can calm anyone.

    That's the shooter game, where you blast prisoners to bloody bits, correct?

    I usually go the opposite way: Pilotwings, Ecco something where I can just relax and cruise around, even Crazy taxi on a ten minute free ride.

    Anything where i can blow shit up.

    But the usual suspects are:

    Vice City
    &
    Serious Sam

    So much relief comes from using a mini-gun

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!
