Video games are real life magic
You know this feeling when you play a game for the first time? The desire of discovering a new universe? The urge to live adventures? The will of meeting new friends? It's one of the best feelings of the world, don't you think? I call that real life magic.
Now, another feeling, because it's linked. The memory of the first time you played this game you like so much. The memory of when you discovered this game.
That's different. You feel nostalgic, yet happy. You feel all the things you felt back then: the weather, the lightening, the smells, and your mood. You try to feel the same way you felt before, but you can't completely manage to do so, yet it feels good. I find it warm. And once again, this sweet nostalgia is one of the best feelings of the world.
I've got some good memories of the first time I played a game.
The first time I played Ocarina of Time
It was my first video game. I saw my stepfather play OOT so many times (and he sucked 😂) and I wanted so badly to play it. Then my mother sold it when they broke up. I forgot about it but suddently, I remembered its existance. We searched it and I remember the day when we found him, we were so happy! It was hard because I was a kid, but I was so happy to find this game after month of research 💕
The first time I played Majora's Mask
It was running in the fields of Termina. And I saw the moon in the sky unintentionally. My heart stopped for one second, it was so scary to see her face!
The first time I played Mario 64
I couldn't even beat the first boss! I was with my stepfather's sister, and I had to ask them how to do so. Actually, I wasn't pushing the right buttons 😅
The first time I played The Last of Us
My God, this game. The first time I ever played it, I wasn't ready, emotionally speaking. I was struck in the heart by the emotional force of this game. By its tragedy, its violance, its beauty, its monstrosity, its empathy, its hope and its despair, its realism and, most of all, the characters. What a shock. Amazing.
The first time I played Uncharted
You see what I told you at the very beginning of this post? That the first time you play a video game, you're willing to luve adventures? This game is pure adventure. I remember the first time I played it. It was amazing. I was excited. I played Uncharted serie in the wrong order (3, 2, 1 xD). I know that I played the 3rd pne with a friend and since I searched it everywhere. Then when I had it I was muuuuch better at video games than when I tried it with my friend so it was satisfying. I remember it was sunny when I played it. I was in a very good mood. I felt the excitement, the epicness of adventure. Every new step of Uncharted is a pleasure. I remember the fight phases on the docks or on the boat, the desert horsenack chase, the castle on fire, the airport fight, and the final place of the game... THAT. WAS. EPIC. As for the other games, especially the second one which is probably the best, it also has some phases that just blew my mind when I first played it: the civil war part, exploring temples, the train fight, all the confrontations with the strange creatures, the defense of the Tibetan village, and the final fight SO DIFFICULT!!! I know it makes a lot of things but that's a good way of saying what this game inspired me at first: it's full of epic events, of exciting battles that fits perfectly with the variety of environments, it's full of colors, and you travel through lots of countries...
The first time I played Breath of the Wild
When I had Breath of The Wild in my hands, I remember this feeling of being lost. I didn't know what to do first, when I finished the first zone of the game. I was hit by the immensity of the map, even a little bit anxious about it! It was so big, what to do first? Where to go? I've never felt this way before while playing a video game. And that was awesome. I think that is the first game that made me think: "I wish I forget how it feels to play this game and then play it as if it was the first time and feel this way once again". (Does it make sense?)
The first time I played Kingdom Hearts
That's the last new game I played. And Oh Gosh so many feelings. I began with KH1. It was a sunny day, and it fit perfectly with the atmosphere at the beginning of the game, on the beach. Full of good vibes, the will of discovering the world, just like the characters. And then, the heartbreak of losing your friends, your world, but yet, not sad. And more and more feelings added while playing KH1 and then the others. Sadness, happiness, excitement, hope, friendship, empathy, worry, epicness, determination, heartbreak, reunion, separation, missing someone, love... Every fight was epic and full, full of feelings such as heartbreak, regret, strenght, determination, EPICNESS, hardship. Yeah, playing KH asks determination cause some fights are really hard. Actually that's the first game I ever played when I first felt the need of leveling up! So everytime I won a fight, I felt so proud ^^ I've never felt this way before. KH is a masterpiece, I think that's the game series that made me feel the most emotional. And that's so precious to me.
A little bit sad, happy, warm, but wonderful, that's what those memories are. Video games, no matter what people think about it, are pure magic.
(I'm sorry, it is more confused that I wish it would be, but that's written with my heart ^^')
