Slowly making my way through RE7, because I only like to play it in prime time: late at night, alone, with the lights off and volume up. Pretty much my ideal setting for playing any horror game. Extra fun if I'm in a slightly depressed or "I don't give a fuck" mood.

What are your favorite conditions to game under?

 

[Lucentto]

Depends on the game.

For Horror/Darker games, at night.

More upbeat games like RPGs, in the day if possible.

Any time of day with bluetooth headphones, comfy couch and controller in brightly lit room playing on the TV.

 

[Parahan]

Remote playing on the bed, late night. I RP 99% of the time.

Hah, what a hit.

[kennyamr]

anything, anytime, anywhere... but alone. Distractions are the worst for me.

 

[Stereogatari]

Curtains get closed if the sun is shining.

 

[Davide]

Night time close to the TV with blue light.

 

[Crayon]

I like all lights off with the tv dim and warm colored. I'd rather be closer to a smaller tv than farther from a bigger one. For sound I'm good with stereo as long as there's a subwoofer. And I prefer to be lit af.

 

[Pops Maellard]

Probably something like this

or this

or this would be good

this looks quite nice as well

Thoughtfully designed, meticulously clean, mood lighting with a nice, loud audio setup are my requirements. That said I'm a very poor student, so for me that's just the cleaning, an IKEA TV stand, some logitech speakers and a sub I got for free, Hue lighting and a Poang + ottoman.

 

[Chumley]

the GOAT

 

[Jea Song]

I prefer to play on my 60 inch 4K TV with little lighting. I'll connect my headphones to my xboner and make sure I have some chips to snack on. Lately been playing Zelda botw on my 60 inch but can't plug in headphones to the grip controller. Fucking switch

 

[SirPinkyNose]

Just ignore the stain...

 

[CD'S BAR]

Just ignore the stain...

not sure if this would be really cool and immersive, or just suffocating.

 

[How About No]

Just ignore the stain...

Now everyone notices the stain

 

[Unknown One]

Just ignore the stain...

That's pretty cool. If I had one it'll have to be bigger for 2 monitors.

 

[psyfi]

Holy shit I love this

 

[Crayon]

I like that box.

 

[Venture]

Comfy couch in front of a nice, big TV at night. I'm amazed (and maybe slightly jealous) at people who can enjoy anything other than a simple puzzle game on a tiny screen out in public somewhere.

 

[How About No]

 

[Kthulhu]

In bed for handhelds. Couch with a big screen TV for consoles. Comfy chair with headphones for PC.

Came here expecting this image, wasn't disappointed.

That's actually pretty sick, I'm not gonna lie.

 

[Tagyhag]

Favorite conditions?

Cold day (Cold by California standards so like 50 degrees) while it's raining heavily outside (But very light or no winds) and the sky is nice and dark.

 

[iBlue]

Chair or couch with little to no light

 

[13ruce]

Playing a full fledged Zelda game on Switch in the restroom is like a dream come true.

 

[Betty]

yes fuck yes.
love a dreary rainy day in CA.

 

[TheContact]

Married with 2 kids so my ideal gaming environment would just be "alone"

 

[NewGame]

The best souls game.

So raw, so rugged. Perfect.

 

[Mexen]

In bed with a comfortable pillow for support.

 

[keraj37]

 

[IbukiLordSA]

What it currently is, corner couch facing my monitor and PS4. Headset on and bliss. Only thing that can make it better is cold weather with rain outside so I can get a blanket but for some reason this damn country has to be hot all the damn time.

 

[CEJames]

So curious. Where do you live?

My actual gaming room

Spoiler

I wish

Can't fathom having a personal screen that size. How big is that?

 

[Crazy Diamond]

However I can. No room to be picky.

 

[Tonyx]

Essential and perfect.

Nothing you can take away, nothing worth adding.

 

[Possumowner]

I don't have any requirement apart from having to have the wife in a good mood...If she is I'm good to go

 

[[NaK]]

Im okay as long as it's not sunny and windy outside, because too much wind fucks with my sunshades.
I need my living room dark and quiet.
Optimal time of day is usually 20:00-24:00.

Love that image. I'm with you on cold rainy day. Makes me feel like I'm not wasting my day if I can't walk outside anyway.

 

[Cannon Goose]

My mesh computer chair with keyboard and mouse. Playing on my couch makes my back ache (it's a bad couch) and using a controller for extended periods is never that comfortable for me.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Yep "late at night, alone, with the lights off" plus headphones on.

 

[sublimit]

And to answer the thread:It depends on the game.With my Vita games i play anywhere/anytime but with console usually i only have time to play very late at night.

 

[djtiesto]

An overcast Saturday afternoon, pot of green tea, my couch and blanket.

 

[SmokedMeat]

What are you doing with one of my mom's kitchen chairs?!
