I couldn't think of a better way to title this but i think you'll know what i'm talking about - that time you handed the controller to a parent or a friends little brother or sister and watched them awkwardly steer the controller side to side trying to make the car turn faster, or jerking the pad upwards to make the character jump higher. As someone who lived for games as a kid, watching the uninitiated always made me laugh, the closest personal experience i had of this was Lotus Turbo Challenge 3 on the Amiga - despite our better knowledge we would all grip the accelerate button so hard (of course, to go faster) we'd end up with sore thumbs ...why this game in particular? I haven't a clue, Road Rash for example didn't cause such issues.
Cue Rocket League.....
30 years later, i've been playing this game since launch and i can't get over how ...physical i am whilst playing it. Those kids and parents i mocked in my youth have nothing on this, my hands clench and spasm and i strike the ball, often hitting the PS button or quick chat keys unintentionally (the amount of times i've said 'sorry' for no reason or had to navigate back from the PS4 UI to the game during a clinch moment, you wouldn't believe). This is 5 years in, i found myself today making these same crazy movements - i can hear my poor DS4 creaking under the stress and grip.
So GAF, any other games that fulfill this unique criteria? (or is it just me?)
