"Frustration the key?"

I've just got a short topic for you lovely people.

When we play games does frustration play a big part in making you come back for more? Is frustration the key? Well when we think about it may seem silly but in some cases very true. Think about racing games like Gran Turismo, we sometimes get very annoyed but instead of giving up the frustration gives us more determination and we won't stop playing until we win. As humans we are very stubborn so in our heads we think "I can't let a computer beat me!" So we go on playing and playing until we win.

What are your views on this? Do you agree or disagree?

Who's this RiCkOsS kid? He sounds ace if you ask me ;)

Yeh, i had a SNES and broke a game cos i got annoyed with it. Then i got even more annoyed when i found out it broken

a little bit from colum A and a little bit of colum B, plus after the first five minutes of the temper tantrum, you just realise that you broke a £90 gameboy or a £20 pad, and that just sucks

Lol, is your martial art that strict? Or do you just not want to cut your head on gameboys?

None rickos, I learnt to control my anger and turn it into an uprised finger, but when I was twelve I headbutted my gameboy and broke the screen and cut my head, after that day I swore never to headbutt another game peripheral ever again, but now I have my lil' bro to break stuff, which he does alot!!

yakumo, just out of curiosity, how many controlers have you broke? I've cracked one of mine because i threw it on the floor :D

its those type of games that challange your manly hood, so you have to keep going back and shouting "im gonna beat you!!!, YOU will not make a fool of me",. then when it does make a fool of you, you slam down the off button and then stick your finger up and your console, but when you beat the game you stick your finger up and your console still, but shout out "I OWN YOU!!!".
As you can no doubt guess I own alot of games of this sort :¬)

That's also a good fact! If the game's frustrating but you don't find it that good a game, then you can give up!
