You just lost your left hand! What games do you start playing? - General Discussion

#1 Posted by Lucifer (263 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Personally, I would finish Shin megami Tensei: Nocturne.

I would also create some kind of modified fight pad which I attach my left arm (or what's left of it) onto the fight stick and start kicking some ass on Street Fighter IV.

I play that game where you stab a knife in the spaces between your left-hand fingers - I can't lose!!

Sadly...Kinect

#4 Posted by Truant19 (192 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

WoW, or Rift, or any other mmo.

#5 Posted by Nux (1990 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I would play lets go to the hospital before I bleed out and die.

#6 Posted by Underachiever007 (2460 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Probably a Pokemon or Persona game. Maybe some Final Fantasy.

#7 Posted by Djeffers03 (2545 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Trauma centre so I can learn how to re-attach my hand.

#8 Posted by Kandycane2029 (510 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Diablo.

#9 Posted by crusader8463 (13050 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I would play scream very loudly as I hold the bloody stump and stare at it in dis belief, followed by lets go to the hospital.

If you mean what would I play if I only had one hand, then I would just keep playing PC games. I wouldn't be able to play some genres any more, like shooters, but I could still play RTS, Turn based games, adventure games Diablo style games etc.

#10 Posted by ImmortalSaiyan (4186 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Turn based games, adventure games, and puzzle games.

#11 Posted by devotfeige (96 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

...but that's my dominant hand! :( No more Ouendan for me, apparently. Or anything using a stylus/wiimote/both sides of the controller simultaneously.

Guess I'd buckle up for something turn-based while I waited to be fitted with a robot hand.

#12 Posted by BeachThunder (8828 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Point and click adventure games ^___^

#13 Posted by AhmadMetallic (18957 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

You could play StarCraft 2 at a very basic level with using just the mouse.

#15 Posted by drag (1223 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

i'd just get a new one like Revolver Ocelot.

That worked out pretty much okay didn't it?

#16 Posted by Video_Game_King (29195 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

#17 Posted by ryanwho (12083 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Porn games I guess. Only now I'm just watching. Can't do nothin downstairs.

#18 Posted by GunnBjorn (2907 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Play Hangman. (literally)

#19 Posted by bybeach (3933 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I would first look into whatever they made for amputees, especially in the K and M department. Might be a few individs liscensed or if not, too bad for the big boy in the case of someone lacking a limb or so...That would be my best shot into getting back to the gaming I care for. Maybe something adapted or taken from a steering/footpedal set-up. do they do foot pedals in guitar games I could rip from? Kinnect or move or some kind of adapted device may figure, and would not be so bad at least after the fact.

This guy beat you to that. He has a deformed left arm, is an amazing Street Fighter player and designs gaming peripherals for a living. Also hhe has the very fitting nickname OneHandedTerror.
Also, watch this:

Pretty inspiring. His friends also started a fundraiser to get him to EVO.

#21 Posted by Aetheldod (2476 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Well you could play very old school first person shooters , Doom , Wolfenstein etc.

#22 Posted by ryanwho (12083 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I wonder. I kinda think my right foot probably has more dexterity than my left hand. Its monkey-like in dexterity.

#23 Posted by Khann (2048 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Considering that's my masturbating hand... I would play the suicide game.

#24 Posted by Yanngc33 (4472 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Having a pretty big hand, I think I could still play with a 360 controller, just not as fast

#25 Posted by Claude (15850 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Any Civ game would do. And on my Wii, Endless Ocean: Blue World. I'm left handed but I played that game with only my right hand and one remote to rule them all.

#26 Posted by 1337W422102 (975 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Fuck, that's my WASD hand.

#27 Posted by Hardgamer (610 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

What's even worse is that I shoot the Basketball with my Left, despite the fact that I'm between the Mixed-Handed and/or Ambidextrous.

#28 Posted by Serket (28 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Man, you suicidal dudes just need to use your other hand. It's not that difficult. You already learned with your dominant hand, and you didn't kill yourself out of having to learn that time, so learn again with your other hand.

Anyway, I'd play some Persona 4, text adventures, maybe some point-and-click adventure games. RTSes would also be fine, if with slightly reduced efficiency (not much, though, as I'm too lazy to learn hotkeys anyway), as would other similar games (e.g. Battle for Wesnoth). Other games in the same general vein - SimCity and so on - work as well. A lot of small browser games are playable with only a mouse too.

#29 Posted by dungbootle (2247 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

JRPGs forever, I guess.

I've played this guy twice online. He kicked my ass. Skip ahead to :55.

#34 Posted by DrPockets000 (2859 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Heavy Rain.

#35 Posted by s7evn (1072 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Minesweeper :D

#36 Posted by Th3_James (2537 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I would get get a prostetic arm and try and play pc games by hitting wasd and shit. It would be really fucking hard though. or just get a mouse with a fuckton of buttons and than just map the controls to the mouse.

#37 Edited by bongoboy (105 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I would play games with pirates in them, because only pirates could understand how I feel.

Pretty much this... you can't go wrong and there's a huge amount of them.

#39 Posted by pornstorestiffi (4851 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Russian Roulette... maybe not.

#40 Posted by Vexxan (4549 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

Turn-based RPGs and Naruto Shipuuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, as long as you can use block you really don't need to move...at all.

I just had the best idea ever. Instead of attatching an arm, just attach a gamepad. So instead of moving your thumb for example you press B. That way noone will beat you in Street Fighter. Any game. Ever.

#42 Posted by BulletproofMonk (2660 posts) - 2 years, 17 days ago

I would probably get into RTS games.

... oh god. I'd rather play with dog shit.

I'd play Sonic. You only need a d-pad and a single button.

#45 Posted by Sjupp (1882 posts) - 2 years, 16 days ago

First, I'd press my stump against my turned on stovetop. Stop the bleeding like a motherfucker.
Then I'd learn how to use a joystick with my feet and then continue to play FPS like a boss. A lot more adventuregames and some Civ.

Or just fuck it all and become a mastermind chess-player.
