im off tomorrow so i dont have to worry about a hangover so i want to get drunk and play some games. im already too buzzed to drive (legally not ability wise) so pc games are my best bet. some of my favorites are rogue legacy, super amazing wagon adventure, breach and clear (door kickers is too hard drunk), im considering giving skyrim a try since ive never played that drunk (that i can remember anyways). but yeah what are some of your favorite games to play inebriated? these will all be solo unless you guys want to play online.
best games to play drunk?
Burnout Paradise is my go to drunk game. Good tunes, great sense of speed, and cool crashes all without the dangers of actually operating a motor vehicle!
An FPS like Skyrim isn't your best bet while drunk. The issue with being drunk and FPS is usually that you'll become disoriented a lot easier. I was playing Destiny with a coworker last week and he was drinking whiskey at the time. By the end of the night he was barely keeping up in where to walk in the strikes (which generally are pretty straight forward) because he got side tracked and didn't know where to go and I had to run back and lead him.
I think something like a fighting game (or similar level of mechanical imput) always goes well while drunk. It's mechanically enough to keep you busy, but it's not too much to get completely lost on you. I'll admit though that I always played through the Yakuza games with beer and whiskey. It just seemed fitting somehow. Though anything with too much story and downtime will get more frustrating the more inebriated you are.
I think you'll eventually find that playing a game drunk is sort of like playing it while really tired. Your brain just isn't following along as well as you think it should. Hell, I have had to turn off movies because I could barely follow what was going on. But maybe your goal isn't to get black out drunk by yourself in front of some games.
Minecraft is pretty good drunk, I've made some cool things that I don't remember. Don't recommend Borderlands (I sold all of my primary weapons before doing that). I agree with Skyrim or a fallout. Super fun wandering around killing random people
I tend to lose interest in games pretty fast when I drink, Spelunky is one of the few I still enjoy when alone. If I'm with friends it's fighting games, Tekken being one of the best since it's so mash friendly and none of us are very skilled.
I'm 21 and have never had a sip of alcohol in my life(by choice) but I imagine Deadly Premonition would be a hilarious game to play while drunk
I think counter strike was the only game I played drunk. I don't recommend it. I imagine playing Rock Band/Guitar Hero drunk would be an amazing experience.
I like something mindless like Dynasty Warriors solo. Or a multiplayer game like Mario Kart or Party if with others.
@artisanbreads: i wish i had friends, especially friends with mario kart or mario party.
My go-to for years was Team Fortress 2. Drink whenever you die, same as @rorie Spedrunky, a few beers in and you are good and relaxed. After a few more, you start to suck but as you get worse you stop caring until eventually you can't play anymore and you are unconscious.
Anything open world is good too because typically no one mission takes so long that you completely lose interest and you can just wander around doing stuff as you find it.
Arcade games. Bullet hell shooters in particular. No loading, no bullshit stories or progression, just pure gaming. MAME is your friend.
@jiggajoe14: its a great game but im at the last couple of levels right now and i havent played in months so tackling them drunk would just piss me off.

I would go with a beat em up with infinite credits so you don't get super angry. Captain Commando and the Dungeons and Dragons arcade games are fantastic.
If you're not limiting yourself to just videogame I'd recommend... pretty much any board game like Ticket or Ride, Ascension, Cards Against Humanity, and even D&D can be fun drunk if you put the time into making a campaign while sober.
But if it's just videogames I find party games like Mario Party and Smash Bros to be big hits. Even fighting games amongst people of even skill level as you. Drunk Street Fighter is some of the most fun I've had with videogames in a long time.
burnout sounds pretty good plus i already have it on my pc but havent played it much (feels pretty dated)
You take that back. Burnout is forever.
I would say most open world games are fun drunk because even if you just want to fuck around and not do story stuff there's usually a bunch of stupid shit you can do in them. At least in good ones. Like Saints Row 3 or 4, any GTA really, maybe Red Dead Redemption but that's not on PC.
I don't drink anymore, but last time I got really drunk I was playing Star Wars Galaxies. So... playing MMOs drunk is pretty fun too. Just don't be a dick and let people know if you group up and it's usually cool. Or play with friends which is usually your best bet.
People who take video games too seriously kill your buzz when you're trying to play video games drunk.
@lightshadow1357: damn if it wasnt already 11:30 i would do that. im going to play sonic generations which i just downloaded. as someone who has never played a sonic game aside from a few levels what am in for?
