Current Events > Do games still make you sweat during intense situations?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I figure most gamers most be jaded here, but on streams I keep hearing how a intense moment makes them sweat. I haven't gotten that into a game in a long time. Most games feel like they have no risk anymore.

my hands get sweaty easily, but they're usually pretty warm anyway, so it's not a hard thing to achieve

Im surprised my controller lasted while playing Sekiro. That first play was intense all right.
---

i used to get sweaty hands a lot when i played bloodborne, that game was intense
---

My hands are sweaty like all the time

My heart rate can increase noticeably, especially in cases like last man standing in MW2 search and destroy, but I've never actually sweat anywhere else than my hands as a result of a video game.

i never got sweaty from games. once headsets were the norm ive had friends tell me i breath weird in intense gaming. like holding my breath weirdly while aimming...
---

Ever since I beat my first Souls games I tend to get as hard as the game. Like my dick is in competition to out hard the difficulty of the game
---

They never did. Why would they? Are they messing with people's thermostats?

You're probably the one dude whose gf doesn't get angry because of your gamer habit.

WTF @ video games making you cry/sweat/hard. You guys need to get therapy.

Who cries? Did you accidentally slip in something about yourself? Do you want to talk about it buddy

I sometimes get really anxious with pits in my stomach but no sweating.

If we're talking single player games... no... I kind of got over that when I started gaming as a kid because it affected me to the extent that it caused mistakes that made me lose lives haha. As soon as I realized that... I started taking steps to force myself to stay calm.

If we're talking online multi-player? Yeah... I can't help but sweat at least a little just from the focus and split second decision making that is often required. Plus, I'm just so competitive that when I get into it, I get into it.

You clearly have never played Lost Odyssey

no but i'm afraid of heights irl and whenever i jump down from a cliff or a tall building in a game it makes me feel like I'm actually jumping. Sometimes I have to close my eyes or look away from the screen.

I got this feeling playing Doom 2016 when you first jump down into the pit of hell... got that weird feeling in my stomach like I was falling... I know exactly what you're talking about.

just my hands

I have hyperhidrosis so my hands are always sweaty by default but any intense fights I do always end with my controller soaked.

i've been playing alot of Wolfenstein New Colossus recently, trying to do the achivement to finish the game on hardest difficulty with only one life.

the other day i got to the arguably hardest fight in it, (the courtroom) and i did feel my pulse go up a bit
