People who immerse themselves on the videogames that they play often acts as if they were in pain while taking damage or being killed, pretending agony and/or swearing. Even more if others are watching.

Now take that to a completely simulated word where your life ends at the game over screen. The level of immersion is off the charts, feeling pain would be a just bonus in that case.
