The Blackangel Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I was sitting here watching YouTube videos and got to thinking. We've all hard the urban legends about video games. Things like Ben Drowned, Polybius, Lavender Town, etc. But it got me curious to danger in games. I'm not looking for things like gaming for 51 hours straight. I'm looking for games that are actually dangerous to even play. Not games that affect a medical disorder like flashing lights and colors then having an epileptic seizure. Games that are just downright dangerous to even load. This may be an unanswerable question, or there might be some that are hazardous. I personally can't think of any off the top of my head, but thought that maybe someone else knows of something that could be what I'm looking for. I've heard that one of the games I play (Taboo The Sixth Sense) is supposed to be dangerous, but I've had no negative repercussions from playing it. Edited February 9, 2020 by The Blackangel
TheSteelyardDweller Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 i never heard of anything like this but if u find out i want to know
Reality vs Adventure Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 My sister recently got a Virtual Reality game system. I tried the roller coaster and it will knock you on your ass if you don't sit down. No lie.
KuroInDistress Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Not sure about just loading the game being dangerous. But I do know that back in it's prime, World of warcraft had a huge impact on people who were addicted to it. Deaths, Divorces and unhealthy lifestyles were all attributed to that game at one point.
The Blackangel Posted September 5, 2020 Author Posted September 5, 2020 Ever Quest (AKA Ever Crack) caused a lot of health problems for people. They were so obsessed with it they would stop their real lives entirely to play the game. It was insane. I never played, but I heard about it all the time when it was in its heyday.
Heatman Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 It's definitely going to be Dark Souls series for me especially with DS III. When you talk about how dangerous it is to get into the gameplay, it'd freak you out always.
Head_Hunter Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Dead space is kinda horror game which is deadly enough I've engaged myself playing deeply. I never experienced gaming that is as frightened like that before.

Seriously, it's very challenging for most people who were addicted to playing the game back then. A friend of mine lost his job as a result of his addiction to playing World of Warcraft Shadowlands.

It's a pity that he didn't control his addition when it comes to displaying his child friendly nature for gaming. It's best when you go to the workplace you behave professional.
killamch89 Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Dark Souls has to be a contender for this because of how much danger you face in-game especially if you make any mistakes at all. You can't even underestimate the "fodder" characters because they'll destroy you just as easy as the bosses.
Empire Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Don't really now other then Aliens: Colonial Marines. Anything redeeming about it was overshadowed by all of the lost potential and clunky game making throughout. It was also a great example of a common & lame reality in gaming: producers can advertise a game to be made by a critically-acclaimed developer, but when really, really it was outsourced to an entire other team.

Your options are colossal indeed when it comes to video games looking deadly and scary. I never really played the options you listed but I see Aliens being deadline due to how the name implies, Lol.

They are all out to smoke you immediately off the blocks.

That's very bad, he didn't know he's an adult and not a child. He ought to have respected the principles of the company and staying off gaming when his presence is needed.
