Desperately needed advice! PLEASE HELP!

Post by weemadando »

I require urgently the name of the most obscenely violent, destructive and hateful game that is just perfect for burning off stress in. As quickly as possible please before I start kicking my fucking case inside out.

Anything with "GTA" in the title, or maybe completing HL2 with just the crowbar.

The Punisher. It got an AO rating at first for extreme violence, so they had to censor certain parts by making them black and white.

There are hundreds of really cool, inventive ways to kill people in it. AND its written by the same guys who do the comics.

dawn of war vs ais set onto "easy" (a.k.a. pushover).

Just zoom into the fights and watch your forces demolish theirs.

If your graphics card is good enough. Mine won't let me zoom in that far. I got a taste of what such zooming is like in the demo, but the full version runs all blurry. :(

I can never get higher than a bronze medal in there.. keep getting point deductions because I just can't resist killing them after they give me the information.

There's just something about breaking the bastard and then, after he's told me everything, feeding his ass into a wood-chipper.

Soldier of Fortune. Blow people IN HALF with combat shotguns. Look at the blood-sprayed corpses of your enemies and notice taht yes, that man's /SKULL/ has a hole in it from a shotgun shot to the temple.

That's the one thing I don't like in the game, that you lose points for killing them after interrogating them, since that's what Frank Castle does all the time in the comics. But I guess its a necessary game balance thing.

Oh I can see the point, to encourage the player to be a bit more careful and perform a successful interrogation. After all it only penalizes you for killing during an interrogation, it does nothing to you for throwing them back into the shield choke-hold then offing them with a quick kill (those are also amusing.. I'm especially fond of the one where he stuffs the like grenade in their mouth).

State of Emergency, running through a fictional shopping mall and mowing down hundreds of people is absolutely thrilling during those stressful moments.

This and this and/or this enough for you? It's Soldier Of Fortune 2...and I bought it to relieve stress when I'm so pissed I could kill people. Works like a charm.

I usually find that PC games require too much thought to be great stress relievers. My preference for stress relief is console fighting games, something from the tekken or streetfighter series, depending on preference. But driving games, or side scrolling beat 'em up ala Final fight also work. Ofc good old side scrolling beat 'em ups are a bit rare on the modern consoles :(.
