| hmmm lets see. i've played around 79 days in world of warcraft and 25 days in maple story and i have to include all video games which is a long list! i've just quitted playing. i have decided that from now on when im bored i will NOT play a game. i will either improove japanese, watch a japanese drama, read a manga or watch anime! im sick of playing video games! i have completely forgot the delightment of playing a game. why do you play games people!?!?! / why do you not play games (like me, being really really smart)? =) |
| Because they're fun. |
 |
| The same reason I watch anime, it's enjoyable. It's not that hard of a question, I am sorry that you played games to the point when they are not fun, but for me they still are and I will keep playing them.

(they'll hopefully move this post to games discussion. arghh, my fault.) |
| It's art. I just love how people, who suck at playing keep telling to those who are better in gaming/playing, that they have no life. It is like excuse for those people, for being bad in playing. But you know what? Whatever I do in my life, I do not care what do I do, as long as I'm one of best in at least one thing, in something which englightement and mastership could be achieved - same with game. |

| There's nothing smart in ditching video games only to waste your time on equally useless activities such as watching anime or reading manga. |
 |
| Some games actually help you learn how to think. That is - if you don't bother using things like strategy guides. However, I've been long past the "gaming addiction" and am picky about the games I play - more so than the anime series that I choose to watch. Also... on a related note: Why bother watch anime? Why bother with TV? Etc. The reasons and answers to such questions are all the same: ENTERTAINMENT.

And perhaps -- try avoiding games that suck. LOL |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| I play games when I'm bored or just for fun. Now days, I only play for a few minutes a week. If there isn’t any people I can play with online, which of course adds a few minutes extra. |
corbenic said: There's nothing smart in ditching video games only to waste your time on equally useless activities such as watching anime or reading manga. I wouldn't say so. Watching anime and reading manga, anyone can do that, but not anyone can play well. Maybe useless, but not totally, like Kyuu said, it might learn you how to think. I have never had a proper english teacher, but I have learned english through watching movies, reading books and mostly by playing games (MMO, which required me to chat). Game can even be creative such as Sim City and so on. It is not useless, but might not be effective in matter of giving knowledge, as book would be. But it could be vice versed too, if book is cr*p, then even game can give more knowledge than books. I have learned some history facts during WWII in Call Of Duty: World at War, about emperor Showa. Even though I know a lot what he did to chinese, even just fragments of videos in game can give me at least minimum of knowledge. Game are also full of information, and could be actually equal to movies, just that you have option to move with your character, city and so on. Both of them has storyline. |

| Games are a good way to pass time, have fun, talk to people, challenge yourself, etc etc... So that's why I play them. And why I will always play them. |
| i don't play them ... |
| The world is my country, science is my religion. Anime Achievements |
| I'm not sure. The MRPG games are quite addictive because you talk with people, but the others... I don't get it as well. I can't really play games. |

| Why play games? Because its interesting. (Shout Out to PSU Fans o/~ lol) |
| I play RPGs. Not as much as I used to but I'm still keeping up with Pokemon :) Love that shit |

| Ha! I would play games if my mother didn't believe girls were supposed to play with things like My Little Pony, or Barbie. Seriously, I ripped the head off my first Barbie because it was so ugly. But, anyways, you should have seen her reaction when I said I wanted to get Assassin's Creed 2. One word: Explosion. I ended up getting socks. That's beside the point. |

By the way, it is really great game comparse to it's prequel. |

But, anyways, you should have seen her reaction when I said I wanted to get Assassin's Creed 2. One word: Explosion. I ended up getting socks. That's beside the point. Gaming ruins my eyesight, makes me lazy, have my mom call me a hobo, and make me have nightmares. Srsly, there's nothing fun about it unless I'm actually playing the game. And... that's all it really matters. |
| For the same reason that I read books, watch anime, watch movies etc... It's a temporary and sometimes unhealthy escape to another world more exciting than our own. |

| Because I want to improve my sniping skills in a videogame and eventually enlist in the military. During my time in the military, I will become a godly marksman exceeding the skill level of soldiers such as Simo Hayha, Vasily Zaitsev, Gary Gordon, and Chuck Mawhinney. Hopefully, my unreal competence with the sniper rifle (which I owe to endless hours of Call of Duty, Counterstrike, and Team Fortress 2) will help me obtain much pussy and make me feel like more of a man. And that is why I like to play videogames. |

| i dont have much free time anymore with extra curricular and summer school, and so i find playing games just eats up my free time in which i could be doing more productive things (although i guess you cant call watching anime and reading manga productive can you?) |
 |
| Well, you were playing World of Warcraft and Maplestory. That's your problem right there. I play games for the stories and characters. It's like reading an interactive book. Sure, the stories aren't always great, but they're fun. It's also fun to be able to interact with your characters and control how you want them to become. I like playing games like mario kart and super smash with my family or friends because they're more interesting than playing card games or board games to me. |

| I would definitely say I play games just for fun. I don't play any serious games anymore, usually only do LAN and the occasional Single player game, and Starcraft 2 beta from time to time. I don't think I'll ever play another MMO, I just stick to more casual gameplay now. |

| I don't play games becuase I hate it when I meet people who just sit in their rooms all day and play them. I think it's really sad and such a waste of precious time. :'( But in moderation they're fine, I suppose. :3 |

| I only play games with a good story line, like Final Fantasy and Disgaea, I play them more for the story than the fun of actually playing. Thats why I tend to cheat lots to see the next part of the story. It's just kinda like an interactive book to me. XD But games like WoW and Maplestory are of no interest to me since I don't think they have an intense story line. If it doesn't have a good story then do not want. XD; |

| I never liked video games, but one video game I really enjoyed and beat about 5 times and I plan to beat it again. I loved the story. Most video games didn't have great stories such as the one I played, and that's why I only played that one. I tried other games but they just weren't fun. I don't play games often anymore, except for that game which I will beat occasionally. |
