What kind of games are best played while high/tripping?

Post Reply New Topic

Haven't tried it yet, but with regards to the latter I bet good old Tombi would be crazy. Flying pink pigs and so many colours in the game!



While high... do you reckon RPGs might be best, to immerse yourself even more in the world? I don't suppose any strategy or FPS-type games would be ideal due to the cognitive accuracy required from the games, but I'm sure for someone in the world it works just fine!

As an aside, do you think there are certain genres of movies that work best with either as well?

Don't play any Silent Hill game if you're taking acid. Well, none of the old ones. I hope no one comes to slam you for taking drugs and derails the topic. IMO its your own choice.

I've smoked MJ several times playing Persona 3 and it made me feel really weird. I was in tartarus and the drum beats in the song sounded really vivid. Its hard to describe. Pot is really the only drug I've done, I'm too scared to try acid, lsd or dmt. Pot is one of those things I can do on rare occasions and at worst I'll feel really kind of odd or everything will be hillarious.

You could always try playing the game LSD. Yes, its an actual game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70gtHWz70Z0

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are the most trippy games I've played.

Yay, another fan of Tomba(Tombi in the UK)! That series might be even more interesting when high. Particularly the Mushroom Forest in the first game(as shown in that screenshot. I would say the Persona games, but heavily story based rpgs might not be easy to follow when high. Then again, I don't do drugs, so what do I know? I'm just speculating what games might be especially awesome after drug use. The game that most immediately comes to mind is Space Harrier for the arcade/Sega Genesis(the arcade version is in the Ultimate Genesis/Megadrive Collection for xbox 360 and ps3). That game's trippy as it is. I'm sure with a high, it would be a gateway to enlightenment. I'm posting this at 1:30AM, as a result of a really bad habit of mind, and am about to check in for the night, so sorry, no vid or link. I'd like to see what happens

I suggest Shadow of the Colossus (or Ico). Another PS2 title is Katamari Damacy.
If you're in an RPG mood, try Mother 3.
From my PC library, I'd say Braid (though I hear that's on XBLA too). Maybe World of Goo?

While taking any mind altering drug, wouldn't you not be at your best?

I would just like to comment that playing video games while on any kind of psychadelic can be a very perilous affair, unless you think you're an experienced user. There's a big difference between dropping a couple tabs and watching some fireworks vs. candy flipping at a rave.

Before you mess around with even semi-intensive activities while on LSD or anything similar, get used to the drug in question first.

Eternal Sonata it's like having Elton John blow perfume scented rainbow farts at you, it great it's so camp and over the top

Eternal Sonata

Earthbound... the game is plenty trippy anyways... especially Moonside.

Amnesia.

Katamari.

For *some* reason, I tend to do a lot better on racing games if I'm nice and stoned. I'm much calmer and steadier, able to keep the car on the limit without crossing it.

On Forza 4, my lap times can go down by a half second or more after two joints.


For enjoyment, I find the Assassin's Creed games the most fun when I'm out of it on something. The story is just such a mind screw... and the weed makes it all make sense. Sort of.

Anything with some friends and some fun local multiplayer.
