StaceyPowers Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 To some extent, some games are designed to be somewhat frustrating, and to test the player’s patience. Do you enjoy playing games that cause you to feel frustration? In what situations? What separates “good” from “bad” frustration while gaming? And can even “good” frustration go too far? On a similar note, how much of the frustration do you feel when playing certain games do you think comes from the way the game was made versus your own expectations?

Heatman Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 If the game never gets to you in a very frustrating way, then it's definitely not giving you any challenges at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 It is part of video game to frustrate gamers provided you're playing at the highest difficulty, and not just playing at the lowest difficulty and expecting a stern challenge, never. The frustration keeps the gamer playing more and developing more strategies to scale through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The lessons that you learn from playing hard video games can never be gotten from easy games. It's why I'm very open to playing them because they are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The only thing that can get me mad in a game is if there is something that is wrong with it that causes problems for me. Say some bad controls or similar. If it happens to much, I will just abandon the game. Probably never consider picking it up again. But I keep trying and or best at times have a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I am an impatient person when it comes to games, but I wouldn't say I like that, or like to be frustrated. Some tough games I can handle the challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Once the frustration comes in form of having a gaming challenge, then it's something that I can be very eager to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
