No shit

Multiplayer shooters. a very small bit from SHMUPS. STALKER did, especially in the labs. couple other horror games as well

I get an adrenaline rush thinking about talking to people

>tfw no game will ever capture the genuine fun FEAR gave us ever again

It hurts every time I watch footage of it. Why did they have to fuck up the sequels? Why couldn’t they have just given us more of the best parts of the first game?

>A couple years ago the big term thrown around vidya advertisement was “adrenaline pumping”

It never was.

>play intense multiplayer shooter match

>heart pumping

>hands shaking

>unblinking eyes wide open for duration

>can't speak

meanwhile in reality

>pull out of a give way in car

>see another car coming along that I didn't look for

>accelerate to get through intersection quicker

>half second later adrenaline swells up in my chest

>heart rate never really went up

>chest sore for about two minutes thereafter

>think my heart might be giving out

I'm guessing there is a difference between sustained adrenaline response and the sudden fright/flight one?

only time i ever got adrenaline was when i was last guy on my team and it was up to me to win the match, i would always fail because all the pressure was built up. but then later i got over it because i didn't give a shit anymore if we lost or not.

Any action game with enough style. You have to let yourself take it just seriously enough for the Chuuni to kick in.

>>15814637

It was "innovat(ive/ion)" for most of the 7th gen. It only ever meant "gimmick mechanic, feature, or controller that nobody will enjoy."

Rhythm games when you're getting closer and closer to a perfect score are great "in the zone" games. The mild hallucinogenic effect of playing such games is a nice bonus too.

Nier Automata in the special rank arena.

I'd get hot, sweaty and excited.

Almost every time I play a multiplayer match in Titanfall 2, I get an adrenaline rush that lasts almost through the entire match. It doesn't have to do with the gameplay as far as I know of since the campaign and frontier defense give nothing like it. I'm not sure why it even started.

>>15814782

I think it has something to do with how the matches themselves are setup, dropping in and Mommy64 helping you feel that you're going into an actual mini battle already happening (the grunt troops help with this, I feel aswell).

Also it's fast and a good fucking game and I'm sad that 3 will be dogshit.

There's a reason this series is loved so much. Getting a boss that you struggle and frequently die on to low health gives off a huge amount of adrenaline.

I don't think I've ever had as much of a rush in vidya than first beating Ornstein and Smough back in the day.

>>15814217

First time I captured the intelligence briefcase in TF2 in 2fort. Died 5 seconds later because the pressure was too much for underage me.

Kind of hilarious in hindsight.

Only time ive had an elevated heart rate from a vidya is whenever i win a 1v3 clutch on CSGO

Any time I'm playing fighting games.

Action games usually do the job, like DMC.

I get adrenaline rushes from MMOs with full loot and open world pvp. Like Darkscape when that existed and Mortal Online which I still play even though its a pile of broken shit because its one of the few games that will do that for me.

>grind for hours for your gear watching your back the entire time you're grinding, someone could come and kill you at any moment while you're killing mobs so gotta keep an eye out at all times.

>work your way up to decent stuff

>don't want to lose that decent stuff that took you so long to get

>when pvp happens the fear of loss activates adrenaline rush hard

>start shaking in both fear and excitement at the prospect of getting better stuff or losing yours.

Then my heart pumps and I sit there jittery with an incredible adrenaline rush for the next ten minutes no matter the outcome.

I used to play games like Rust for that feeling but the grind wasn't enough to cause my fear of loss to trigger my adrenaline. So full loot open pvp mmos are basically the only thing that does it for me. I tried EVE thinking it would be right up my alley but it didn't really click for me so I dropped it

Most racing games, especially anything in the Burnout series. They're also the only games to really make me seethe, when I miss a gold medal on the fifth race in a circuit for instance.

That's a warrior trait anon. Berzerkers used to get so pumped in their boats approaching a village to raid, that the jitters caused them to shake their jaws uncontrollably and the remedy was to bite their wooden shields.

>Most Viking shields have teeth marks.

We were bred as alpha warriors and the time is quickly approaching when we will get to use those skills.

Well my mom and dad have both come from norway and I'm tall and blonde so I guess that makes sense, whenever it happens I always want to jump and run around but I just try to direct that energy into the game instead.

But god damn no other genre except that type of mmo can scratch that itch for me. You get so excited and scared seeing someone in top tier gear because you know if you kill him that stuff will be yours but if you die all of your hard work is gone. Games with no risk/reward just don't do that to me. Don't get me wrong I enjoy other stuff that people consider adrenaline pumping but nothing else gives me that shaking excitement and fear

fight this boss with a low heart rate

you can't.

>>15815078

>t. nigger

>>15814226

Pressing on screen prompts pumps your blood?

I remember having the bright idea of playing Alien Isolation alone in a dark room. Holy fuck, I actually screamed like a horror movie girl the first time I died. I guess adrenaline was involved in some way.

Arcade rail shooters like Time Crisis do a pretty good job at giving some adrenaline.

Also action games with music that goes REALLY hard.

>Quiplash with your dad in the house and your retarded ass friends drop THE FUCKING N WORD RIGHT AS HE WALKS IN AND ADMITTEDLY IT WASNT A HARD R BUT IM LOOKING AT YOU GUYS WHAT THE FUCK?

You just blow in from 4chan?

>adrenaline pumping

Is the sticky white stuff that comes out of my pee-pee adrenaline?

>>15814226

This for me too.

The splinter cell spies v mercs gamemode in CT and DA, multiple times I felt my pulse quicken significantly for a few instants.

>getting to cover just as 3 mercs sprint in the door and they see the bit of your foot escaping into a false ceiling and they all unload full-auto into the ceiling trying to hit you

Vermintide 2 until it became easy

I've had a couple moments. It always comes down that moment where your resources are 99% spent and any logical analysis of the situation says you're fucked, but then you Touch the Untouchable, Break the Unbreakable and pull off some absolute horseshit you probably couldn't replicate if you tried to win an absolutely glorious victory. Genre is immaterial; I've had it in FPS, SHMUPs, RTS, fighters, arcade, flight sim, strategy, etc.

Hype and bombast can help, such as in >>15814226 , but it's neither required nor the same thing.

>>15814217

The 1999 Aliens vs Predator game is pretty intense. The aliens are quick and deals high damage, can get your blood pumping.

>>15815091

>PoP: WW

The Dahaka chases were true gamekino.

>last pic

Is that the boss's nutsack?

>adrenaline rushes

Am I the only one whose penis perks up when I suddenly fall a long way in a game where fall damage exists?

>>15838299

Only thing you really need to complete is the Valkyrie stuff since that's the only really difficult side content. I never beat the queen.

>>15815091

You can buy a revival item at the shop, which is how the boss is meant to be beaten.

>>15838207

Me too. Better than niggers everywhere.

Any 1v1 deathmatch mode in FPS. 100% into the game, dripping with sweat, even shaking when I try to walk when it's over. I don't play arena shooters that much but I can remember almost every duel I've ever had.

DayZ has gotten my blood pumping hard before, especially when I'm about to execute a plan that I've been working on, ie, I've been stalking two bandits, and I've finally set up for a shot.

Not reallt outside of high risk pking,in runescape or destiny raids

I had that kind of experience back when I played TF2.

There was this one soldier that frequented the same server as me and I lived for the moments when we ended up in a corner of the map together to duke it out. I played scout and if I ever left the ground he would 99% of the time land a direct hit rocket on me. I had to completely relearn how to play as before encountering him I'd just jump 24/7 as if it were the most natural thing to do.

In the end I had only about a 40% win rate against him, but it was so satisfying as after a match ended I would come down off the high and realize I'm sitting here breathing heavy and sweating my ass off.

I don't really experience that kind of trill anymore as the only kind of games I can get that feeling of HYPE from nowadays are fighting games and devil may cry. Which is a shame because I'm not really interested in putting time into either of those games for various reasons so I content myself with the more mellow long-term resource management thrills or something like permadeath.
