StaceyPowers Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 What video games give you the Tetris effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect if you do not know what I am talking about. Like when you are falling asleep at night, and you see or feel images/hallucinations of the thing you were doing while you were awake. Real-life experiences which produce it for me include things like rollercoasters or going on long drives or boat rides. Sometimes I get it from video games like Skyrim if I do a lot of walking, and occasionally I get it from repetitive and long boss fights (the latter is just annoying). I also get it from the train ride in RDR (which is kind of relaxing and pleasant). I notice it is most common when a game experience is fresh and new, but after I've done it a lot, the Tetris effect (ironically) reduces. What about you? Do you experience this? kingpotato 1
killamch89 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 As a fan of Tetris, I have heard that the Tetris effect existed but I thought it was mainly gamer slang. When I used to play GTA vice city back in the days for extended hours, I had dreams of driving a boat along the shore of the beach and stuff like that.
kingpotato Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 It did happened to me with Skyrim, GTA V, a couple of times as well with Halo 3 and Gears 3 from back in the day when I used to play all night online, I remember that at one point I dodged a grenade in my sleep and almost fell down from my bed 🤣 (I did dodged it though ) killamch89 1

At least you dodged that nonexistent grenade successfully. I remember a particularly annoying Tetris effect hallucination while I was struggling to fall asleep one night where I could see the Skyrim quest marker in the distance, but I couldn't fall asleep until I reached it. But I couldn't get to it. It just kept moving away. kingpotato 1

skyfire Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 For me it has to be rocket league and the hyper casual games on android. Those kind of gets me the vibe about the tetris and the gravityless view.
