I do too.

sort of. I try not to die when I'm playing a game.

And this is how kids kill thanks to violent games

It's called being 11.

Nope. I became so obsessed over casualties in Blitzkrieg that my girlfriend made me stop playing when I kept a book of every person I named who died in battle and when and how.

>>20999745
Only the moronic ones.

>>20999760
But I'm 23.

I always do this in strategy games, it makes them 10x more awesome

No but I get so into games I start talking to myself

>>20999782
ENJOY BEING A MANCHILD

>>20999782
Maybe it's time to grow up then.

The first part was pretty normal, but it sounds like you roleplay a little too much

I'm exactly the same way, actually, even worse. I can't play any game without it having a story in, and I prefer the story to be one I've written myself. Case in point, The good old Age Of Empires games. Fuck the campaign, I make my own campaign of the grand rise of the Davini tribe to world dominance.
Even games like Jedi Knight 2, I cheat to pause the AI, kill all enemies and respawn dark jedi everywhere, making up my own plot.
Of course games like Civ or Total war where this is what you are MEANT to be doing anyway are among my favourites.

People who have forgotten how to enjoy the vidya

I noticed this when I was playing the new Colonization game. Except I would talk aloud about crushing the puny natives if they did not choose to "civilize" themselves.

My native girlfriend wasn't too pleased with that. Sorry, not pics of said girlfriend. She's fat.

I like to get way into games too. It's fun and an enjoyable escape. Also a good way to shit bricks when you're playing something creepy.

then it's called being autistic.

ITT: 16-year olds pretend they're badass

I like creating Militiristic facist nations who use human wave. I had so much fun creaitng a Prussian empire in Europa universalis 3 that held all of russia, and the middle east (I also converted the ENTIRE middle east into catholocism, HA!) the only problem was I relied on the human wave a bit to much, my inflation got ahead of me, and I couldn't keep up with FUCKING AUSTIA GODDAMNs technology.

>>20999933
Yes, having some harmless fun makes you autistic.

Medieval Total War was the BEST for this. Every province you conquer comes with a little scroll you can give to any general, making him the Duke or Earl or whatever of that province. The way great generals gain repuations over time, and how you can reward your favourates by making them, say The Earl of Wessex. Fuck I love that game.
Also, You could marry your own fucking daughter if you wanted too, it was possible to hire an assasin to kill yourself (The game asks if you are serious)

I did that once with freespace 2. I broke the rudder button on my throttle and I couldn't yaw (or strafe, I forgot how it worked in that game). I started screaming "MAYDAY I'M HIT" and started role playing with myself until I finished the mission.

After that, I felt like a retard and never did such a thing again. Well, I did wear my motorcycle helmet and gloves while playing GTR Evolution when I first got my G25, but that's more immersion than role playing.

>>21000087
>it was possible to hire an assasin to kill yourself (The game asks if you are serious)

Holy shit I need this gaem.

I do this all the time when I'm playing as the Germans in CoH. I always make a lot of infantry units, and the ones that survive long into the game become my hardened veterans, where I imagine that the squad has been through hell and back together. Kind of like the movie, Cross of Iron, but in RTS form.
The kickass voice acting just adds to the badassery of it all.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R, OL. Shitting bricks, cowering in the corner of some old abandoned house in the middle of a blowout, honestly fearing for your character's life, praying to god no-one finds you here, barely holding onto conciousness, just kept alive through constant application of drugs.
FUCK YEAR ROLEPLAYING.

I mostly just yell smart ass comments at enemies while I'm killing them. Kinda like Duke Nukem, except more badass.

>>21000180
The assasin unit can be sent to kill ANYONE. Your own family, your generals, diplomats, priests, even the fucking pope. Hell, espessically the pope, lets be honest here.

>>21000087
Wat? Can you do this in 2?

ITT we talk about actual in game roleplaying, notice how little it has in common with the so-called "Roleplaying Game" genre.

>>21000264
>Kinda like Duke Nukem, except more badass.

>Duke Nukem
>more badass
>Duke Nukem

Impossible.

>>21000343
Well Assassins can still kill anyone, I guess. Weather the game still indentifies you as the current King, I'm not sure. Never tried it. Getting a repuation for incest is always fun though (bad for battlefield morale, but who fucking cares? my daughter is hawt.)

If I could actually go back to doing that again, I wouldn't be reading /v/.

Nothing wrong with some RP. In all seriousness, do you play MMORPGs? Get thyself some WoW, WAR, or LOTRO, and I think you'll have a great time on a RP server. That said, I always used to party my JRPG characters together based on their in game pairings. These two are in love? Always in a party together. One is a servant of the other? Together. Brothers or sisters? Together. That sort of thing. Ie. In FFVI, Locke, Celes, and Terra were ALWAYS in my primary party. Mostly because Locke is alwesome.

THIS, THIS is what makes Morrowind/Oblivion rock. Try playing the game in any other way and shit sucks. But roleplay the motherfucker, and you find it's basically made for this type of gaming.

I used to, until I became a fag, so now I can't enjoy games.

>>20999762
>girlfriend(read: mother)

>>21000530
OP here, I actually have played WoW, mostly on PvP servers. I was expecting RP servers to maybe be kind of cool, but all the cities were EMPTY and I suspect most of the RPers were fags.

Anyway, in WoW I ended up fishing (FUCK YEAR WEEKLY FISHING CONTEST), gaming the auction house (FUCK YEAR 4500G WITHOUT LEAVING THUNDERBLUFF) and doing world PvP. In the end I decided it wasn't worth the $15/mo. I played on and off from 2005 to late 2007. I never hit lvl 60 until last year, and that was after I got the expansion. I never raided, and I think I've done maybe a dozen instances throughout the game, and my highest instance was Zul'Gurub.

One word. X-COM.

>>21000810
FUCK YEAR

How else are you meant to play games?

>>21001074
By only going for top scores, beating it as fast as possible, and moving to the next game.

>>21000794
True roleplaying in MMORPGs involves pretending to everyone else that you are someone you are not. And this goes far beyond "lol im a gurl no rly"

u r all fagets lol. RP stands for Really Pathetic.

when i play through bioshock, i act as if im actually in a movie. ill make my character look around like hes scared trying to adapt to the new environment

its amusing.

I do this... somewhat.
I used to make stories in GTA (like making missions after beating the game) and perhaps I roleplay a little much when played. Not that much nowadays, though... I did notice I had much more fun before than now, however I can't help but think that what I'm doing is somewhat stupid, which in turn gets me embarassed with myself.

Oh, well.

only do it for one player games, if it's multiplayer any weird shit I think of stays in my head.

>>21001243
RP STANDS FOR RON PAUL

Congratulations, OP. You are enjoying video games.

>>21002010
shiiiit

>>21002010

I used to do that when I was younger. I can't do it anymore for some reason. Maybe I'm too old, maybe the games don't just feel the same..

I still try to do this, but it's harder now that I'm older. I've always loved all the fluff that comes with games, or used to. Game manuals used to be like novels, and now it's just a pamphlet with the controls and main menu explained. I guess READING is too hardcore for the casual gamer.

This x1000000, I almost cried when I bought CoD4 and the manual ended up being 6 pages long. They could have done so many things with it (all SAS related and shit) and all they did was toss in the controls, a couple of pics and the online options menu.

I always saved my vets too.

>>21002397
FUCKING TRUE! Do you remember Earthbound manual? Man, shit was awesome.

>>21002397
I agree. Oh lordy I agree. I used to read the manual cover to cover on the way home. I wish I still had my pokemon red manual. That thing was fucking awesome.

>>21002780
I actually browsed through Replacementdocs to find it for you, but, unfortunately, they don't have it. D: Sorry.

Oh, I remember Super Bomberman 3 manual... it had a fucking manga in it. Good times, good things.

Oh kind anons, you warm my heart.

>>21002397
Protip: The SimFarm manual includes tips from the Farmer's Almanac.

>>20999693
Fuck yes, OP. After I beat GTA: San Andreas with nothing else to do, I would pretend I was a professional hitman/special forces soldier, parachute into random places and kill a random amount of people until I decided the mission was accomplished, then escape the police in a swashbuckling car chase. Sometimes I would pacify the area with the Hydra before dropping in.

Shit was SO cash.

>>21003306
YES! I did that too!

And sometimes I'd skin mod to make other funny things, too.

>>21002010

OP is a retard.

X-com:Apocalypse - that is all

I played that in school and I used to name my soldiers after myself and my friends, then tried to keep them alive.
Also when I went to sleep I was imagining I'm sleeping in the X-com base where I might be attacked by aliens.

>>20999693
I do this to a lesser extent, mainly only with RPGs though. STALKER and Oblivion are the first two that come to mind.

>>21000307
Try getting the pope burnt at the stake for Heresy. I've only managed it once, but fuck yea.

>>21004954
Is this in Medieval 2?

I would've taken Putin as a Zune kind of guy.

I do this too.
