The older I get the less bullshit I tolerate in games, which sucks because games that want to be about "stories" and "atmosphere" mistake that for "slow constipated pooping." Bitches look at Silent Hill-- you get one 2 minute cutscene then you're off to the races. Fatal Frame 2 as well. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 3, and even Metal Gear Solid 2 all throw you right into the action relatively early before making you sit through their infamous lengthy bullshit. So when I start up your game on a legit cool subject like, a woman unfairly confined to a sanitarium and I'm stuck reading flavor-text notes and wandering aimlessly for the first hour or so.... well gently caress that noise. Triply so if the game does that Half-Life thing where it locks you the gently caress in a room to listen to expository/plot movement dialogue. You pull that poo poo to me before I've been spooked or done something fun even once, I'm turning your game off. Still better than that Amnesia/Outlast "ooh you're 100% powerless and a monster is stalking you" crap. Bitch I've got oil and fire on-hand if nothing else you're telling me I've got zero options?

Or y'know, I've only got so much free time and I don't want to waste it on some West Coast loser's vision of "cinematic pacing" in a non-cinema medium.

Not enjoying video games that you loved as a kid is a symptom of depression, and i recommend you medicate yourself back to where your brain needs to be so you can be happy, op

on the one hand OP i want to poo poo in your mouth for saying "adulting", ironic or not, on the other hand i wanna talk about some sweet loving video games with my cool gbs pals so here ya go overwatch is really bad but fun for like a couple rounds a week to remind yourself not to buy blizzard games in the future no matter how good starcraft was back at the buttcrack of the millenium. it's also good to hear goons and others fall all over themselves to pretend that its the best game ever even though when it comes do9wn to it everyone seems to think it's horribly flawed. lotsa reviews were like "OH MAN ITS SO COOL AND HAS SO MANY HEROES but also more than half the heroes kinda suck and there's like five levels and of those five three are extremely poorly designed" bloodborne is really good but the opening up to cleric beast is really dumb and boring, i bought a ps4 and bloodborne, played it for a few days, and went back to other poo poo for months before picking bloodborne back up and really getting into it. it gets good and ahs some really cool visual design, but, y'know, it's a souls game and if it's not your jam that's fine witcher 3 is really fuckin' good but some people are apparently too stupid for the combat (it boils down to like, dodge monsters and parry humans i think, or maybe the other way around, but it's pretty fuckin' obvious - and don't forget that you have all kinds of potions and magic buffs n poo poo to make you a badass). if you have a console i've heard the load times suck, idk, i got it free for buying a gfx card last year maybe give up on games you need to try and beat and try something more chill, i'm a pretty big fan of setting up a colony in rimworld on the easiest setting and just leaving it on while i go to work, most of the really terrible events pause the game with their infobox so it is pretty fun to come home to see that my dudes stored up enough food for winter but one of my colonists is about to go on a violent berzerker rampage because some snake bit his pet dog to death and the drat fool decided to eat it but really OP the real answer is to buy and play several hours of Mighty No. 9 so that literally every other game in existence looks less cheap and awful by comparison, please let this knowledge aid you upon your life path, friend.

Jebediah posted:What's your theory behind loving games when you're younger and then not finding a single title in Steam's vast library that can hold your attention past the 2hour refund time limit at 25+ (for reference I am 35)? I would say it's "less time, adulting takes over blah blah" but I have more free time now that I ever have. how many books have you read in 2016? be honest with me. now compare this number with the number of good games you've beaten in 2016. go back to your childhood: how many books or games can you remember that were awesome at some point back then? maybe the rapidly diminishing returns is for once not the fault of the universe, but a fault in you. i'm a video game spiritualist, ask me anyhting

It's because as an adult you can afford to do things that are really fun, Instead of fantasy doing fun things in a videogame.

I don't play games as much either but I still like them if they're good. Recent games I liked; Overwatch was fun to play with goons. I'm bored of it now though probably wont return for a good while DOOM was a great singleplayer shooter. I played on the hardest difficulty that was available for a first timer and the game felt challenging without feeling like BS. Most other FPS get this so wrong, theyre usually way too easy. DOOM just had straight up better gameplay than most other shooters i've played in years. Double jumping over a skeleton man with rocketlaunchers on his shoulders so you can chainsaw the summoner behind it beats "hide behind wall or box and shoot at braindead soldierguy until he falls over, repeat for an entire game" that other shooters offer up these days Witcher 3 was good, but it was eating so much of my time that I never finished it. I can't get into games like this anymore the way I usede to, because I just don't get particularly immersed in the game when I only got an hour here and there to play it Zzulu fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Sep 17, 2016 |
