Did you ever have sleepless nights or nightmares from playing a certain game?

[Yaramaki]

Right where do i start with this subject, currently playing trough life is strange 2 but man i can't stop thinking about what is going to happen to the characters it drives me nuts sometimes can't stop thinking about it in bed resulting in sleepless nights. Bar the special power the setting is so real and almost reconizable i really feel for them, you feel sorry for the person you are playing. I probably could explain why but i'd be in spoiler territorry. 

I could name a few more games but i'll leave it for somebody else to name theirs for now. 

 

So did you ever have sleepless nights or nightmares from playing a certain game? I know horror games would be an obvious choice but if you can let's hear a few non horror games aswell.

Not me personally but I do know of more than a few people who slept with the lights on after playing Resident Evil for the first time.

I wouldn't lose a single sleeping moment simply because I played a terrifying game, or simply because I had an off day paying video games.

I was only tortured a little bit with what happened in Spec Ops :The Line but I never had sleepless nights or any nightmare over it.

Racing games don't give me issues, PES gave me an issue when I got into it newly, GTA San Andreas, F.F 7 gave me torrid time trying to get started with it.

I had that problem with RE7 after the boss fight with Margaret, I still have nightmares about her sometimes.

Yeah, it was really hard to fall asleep after playing Alien Isolation.

My niece screamed out loud from her sleep one night after playing Alien Isolation. It really got me worried about her.

Apart losing carelessly to friends via offline multiplayer contests, I wouldn't think video games can make me lose a single second sleep thinking about my mixed actions.

I actually skipped playing Resident Evil 7 and jumped right into the 8th one. It's not that too horror made in my eyes. 

[Justin11]

Lots of gamers have said same thing that RE series aren't that too horror like the way other horror games appeared.

I have good reasons to believe that it's something that gets more scary for gamers when they play and stay alone.

I don't see anything scaring base on what I said. It isn't about horror, it's just between me and my friend playing against each other. 

[Boblee]

Some gamers tend to be scared very easily when compared to other gamers that play with, even though some of them pretend about it.

Everything depends on what triggers my fears which would be able to interfere with my night sleep. Other than that, it's definitely going to be very difficult for such to happen.
