When you play games

Desty · October 30, 2015, 04:33:06 PM

Do you want to win? Why?

Jono · October 30, 2015, 04:34:46 PM

I'm not having fun if I'm not winning

Is that true?

fun > victory

victory is pretty nice too, though

I made this thread with that mindset, but the purpose of the thread wasn't to inform others of my opinions, or sway them.

[Edit: I realized that I left out quite a lot of stuff that would give contex, but I'm tired atm tbh

I guess I'm wondering why people are playing games

BaconShelf · October 30, 2015, 06:28:27 PM

I tend to prefer victory for the team over doing good myself. I geberally put objectives before kills.

Winning is fun!

But it's not the only thing that makes a game fun, so

Busta Nut · October 30, 2015, 06:34:29 PM

As long as I'm having fun, I don't particularly care. Victory is just the cherry on top; not at all necessary to enjoy the experience, but a welcome addition nonetheless.

I want to be good at it, which isn't necessarily winning.

CK97 · October 30, 2015, 09:25:53 PM

Of course

Zonda · October 30, 2015, 09:39:16 PM

I don't really care too much about victory itself. I get just as bored when I'm being pummeled and there's no possible way to win, as when I'm absolutely thrashing it. The most entertainment I get is from really hard, close games. It's an Adrenalin rush regardless of the result.

Depends really. If I'm losing in retarded ways then it's not fun.

Otherwise I'm usually enjoying myself

Experience

I love exploring every inch of the map, well only for games that make it interesting

Korra · October 31, 2015, 10:07:41 PM

Yes, visitor.

Zonda · November 01, 2015, 03:36:20 AM

Unless it's one of the all-star Mario games (Kart/Smash/Party) in which case I become a profanity-howling demon.

Doctor Doom · November 01, 2015, 03:51:41 AM

I can lose and still have fun. It's not fun if I'm losing every time, though.
