What vidya had the biggest effect on you psychologically?

Based and dare I say it, redpilled.

ASS TO ASS

i once got in a fist fight with a guy cause he called smash bros melee a shit game

Probably Parasite Eve because I had to restart it like 4 times to manage my shit better to get past that goddamn motherfucking dog in the police precinct. No game previously had fucked me that hard due to my own incompetence.

this virgin can teach you so many things

Smash games look like shit desu

The original Silent Hill. I entered a haunted house or hospital and there were little creepy ghosts that tried to kill you. I managed to found a key but was too afraid of going further. Shit was so spooky I had to stop playing it and never played it again. It's been decades now

The five armed girl from Yume NIkki freaked me out as a kid. Still freaks me the fuck out to this day.

Half Life 1 and Zelda: A Link to the Past

1997 was 30 years ago...

Shit made me cry a lot when I was like 10

There's little cute ghosts that run around you and squeak when they fall down. It's adorable. Then tragic when you read up about them.

I just thought I was in for the typical 'save the princess' plot.
Nasty shock, that one.

If FFVII never came out I probably wouldn't have gotten addicted to video games and wasted my life becoming an apathetic shut in. whatever.

Also Mass Effect fucked me up when I realised all the characters that I felt were family weren't real and aren't going to be with me anymore after I shut down the game.

FF6.

probably operant conditioning from diablo 2. I have to make an effort to steer clear of skinner boxes these days.

Automata helped me with the loss of a close family member, and showed me a new perspective
Persona 4 made me be less of a hikineet and now I spend much more time with friends and family

Unreal Tournament 99

When I played it as an 8 year old it imprinted me forever. Fast FPS will always be my "main" genre. Everything else is just a distraction.

Alpha Protocol and Assassin's Creed.

Playing these games made me consider life differently. Before that, I was only following a very simple, expected path in life, doing what others expected of me, without straying from it. Then I realized there were other paths I could take. I used to respect a superior authority, I was a lawful good kind of goy, always playing the good role. But I came to realize I could become an authority myself, and disrespect the global authority, become an underdog, and not just a follower. I was pretty much a kid until that time, this is when I started growing a personality and walking down my own path.

Also the way these games present a secret narrative hidden from all made me question the main narrative in our world, and dare ask questions I wouldn't even have thought of before. Questioning myself as well.

Vidya helped me become an independent and responsible adult.

Requiem for a Dream. Not sure why it's being posted here though.

Xenogears.
I was like 11yo and I felt like I was being brainwashed with psychology and philosophy.
Made me think about everything that no child should give a fuck about.

league of legends made me actually just hate people and lose complete faith in human beings, the amount of frustration i felt in that game when i used to care about my ranking was actually unhealthy

A lot of shit in the White Desert's pretty fucking weird.
Looping the endless road five times and seeing the giant monster change to red was something that stuck with me for some reason.

So do most games

Genuinely deep.

The freedom offered in some vidya certainly helped me broaden my horizons, dare things I wouldn't have tried nor even thought of before, and offered a feeling of independence and automony that life doesn't present you outright.

In my case, Far Cry 2 contributed a lot to that.

I'm absolutely gonna get shit for this but Undertale is seriously my go to for video games changing mindsets. It really made me realize how nonbinary good and bad is. And while it's been memed to death the Sans fight actually has a really interesting idea on how pointless everything has doing is. Asriel as a character is an incredible display of corruption and the importance of genuine emotion.
Honestly, Undertale is an amazing story. If it was released as a book under a different name and switched around names to throw off the scent it would hit number 1 with the right publishing company.

I was 20 when the first AC released, 22 for Alpha Protocol. I hate to have to tell you this, but you aren't very mature at this age, not much of an adult.

If you think you are, you're about to be seriously disappointed, life can and will get worse than you think it can be.

Nah you're right, early 20s is still immature.
I wouldn't call them kids though, but really older teenagers.

This biggest game for me personally? I would say Twilight Princess; when it came out I was barely two years old. It had quite the psychological impact on my mind; it taught me love, fear, strength, and will. From realizing that all men are similar to wolves at their core, to learning that there are darker forces at play in the world. Truly, truly, a life changing game. Ask anyone that has played it - they will say the same. I am who I am today because of Twilight Princess.

Kodomo no Jikan literally made me a fucking lolicon years ago. Little anime girls were wholly unremarkable to me when I first started watching anime, but after I watched this shit, my dick just gets fucking big whenever anime depicts lolis.

Seriously, why do Japanese men like lolis?

Where did the love for them first come about? I can rationalize tentacle, rape, NTR, and trap porn, but why are some men attracted to kids? Shouldn't we naturally be wired to NOT be attracted to them?

Final scene in Requiem for a Dream; it's inter cut with a ton of other stuff and is disorienting as hell, entire movie boils down to an edgy "Drugs are bad m'kay" story with completely unlikable protagonists

This game unironically made me enjoy video games again. I was as jaded as you all are right now back in 2011 when the brown bloom shooter was at its peak shittiness, but Bayonetta made me remember that games can be stupid fun and enjoyable.
I'm hoping Bayonetta 3 will spark that same joy.

MGSV

Never been so let down desu. Almost dropped vidya altogether

Fallout 3, I played it nonstop when I broke my ankle and practically became a shut in during highschool. The only Fallout I ever played, I didn't even like it that much

on a a serious note.
its the withdrawal effect of whatever drug she was on, i cant remember.

Soma

Meth and heroin, whole movie is on that. Also she sucks nigger dicks to get it for free.

Also she isn't sweating, she's simply drenched in lube like the other girl, plus guys throw their drinks at her.

Honestly, MGSV, the part where I had to shoot my own soldiers. I'm not gonna pretend it's a great game, but for some reason that part really fucked me up. I was playing with a friend over and I actually had to pause the game and started crying. And not just modest crying, fucking bawling my eyes out. After like 30 seconds I felt better and apologized to my friend for the awkwardness of it all, then got back to shooting my men.

SZS

Half life 2 for purely esthetic reasons.
It was less than seeing real Gothic for the first time but the art direction is still incredible.

MGS3 made me hate america

this one

I tried to care but just couldn't, they are all literallywhos. I almost teared up a bit when Venom screamed when he realized that Paz was dead after all but that was probably just because Kiefer actually had a single emotional moment in the game.
