EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Disagreed. There are some pretty fun games out there.

The misses would like me to play Overwatch, and to some degree my brother tried to get me involved. I have about 2k hours into TF2, but OW doesn't appeal to me.

Every GTA I have played I can make it half way through before I realize ow much I hate GTA, so basically GTA 3,4 and 5.

There are a lot of RPG's I have tried out but I can't get past the intro without falling asleep.

I have FFXV on pre-order for PS4.

Hey what about good RPG's on the 3DS?

Are you in your 30s op? Your brain has probably finally finished maturing and your new worldview has opened your eyes to the fact that videogames are shallow entertainment suited for children or dim witted buffoons.

Well into it! I find what you're saying easy to believe given I can't a game that makes me want to play it.

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.

Maybe you shouldn't play bad games then.

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


Doom 2016 is cool as gently caress

I don't think the issue is necessarily with the medium itself. The problem is that right now developers are almost exclusively catering to the needs of hyperactive gamers who want non-stop action and easy to comprehend plot points. I also thought that I had grown out of gaming but over time I've come to realize that it's actually the lack of mature, deep gaming experiences that's the problem. Thankfully we're seeing a resurgence of old school devs coming back to create the kinds of experiences that made gaming exciting in the first place.

I bought doom 2016 what felt like a couple months ago and I only started playing a couple of days ago because i couldn't drum up the effort until then. Now I've played and only just got the chainsaw because I keep getting bored and turning it off.

I've been playing and appreciating games since I was 3 years old. It's my hobby. Now I think I'm dying.

What do I do if this doom fix hasn't worked?

imo the ps3/wii/360 generation was when video games became noticeably worse. all the mid-sized game companies were either bought out by bigger companies or went bankrupt, so everything became halo knockoffs

at least doom is trying to clean up the mess

They were good in the '80s when they were just a fun thing you did on the weekends sometimes and not a deeply committed lifestyle choice for hopeless human garbage.

I will take your word that whatever the gently caress that is was not in fact fun or good, but the jig was up by 1984 anyhow.

i really liked silent hill 2, I bought a ps2 si I could play it. I had a recording studio in my basement and id chill in there with all the lights off and it was so dark and quiet and the game would scare the everfucking poo poo out of me

But silent hill 3 was not as good :(

Oh and Vice City, I def had fun with that for a while.

Haven't played any video games since then....
