I'm depressed too

try playing just the game of the year contenders or something to keep it interesting? there are so many games out there that are technically good but kind of forgettable in hindsight.

I don’t have any advice for you except to say that I am sorry you didn’t enjoy botw. it’s so, so good, but if it doesn’t click for you it doesn’t click

i definitely see where you’re coming from, during grad school i played way fewer games, like every game that came out just didn’t do it for me so there were only like a handful of games i played over several years. you can definitely have a change of taste in terms of what you want to spend your free time on, and for me ive gone in and out of being interested in games occupying a big slice of that time. at some level i think it’s just like a barrier, you’ve got to get through enough to become invested and then it’s more interesting to finish. but the height of that barrier changes depending on your surroundings and where you are in your life i guess.

i didn’t really like botw until around when i got a horse and rode it to hateno village, something really clicked around that point. that’s also when i switched my hearts over to stamina bars which probably is the single best thing to make exploration more fun

I generally shoot for about 3-4 bars of stamina before I start investing in HP.

if you're feeling done with games maybe you just need to switch into shorter games. not everything needs to be 10-15+ hours long

tingle is literally my least favourite thing about zelda. i honestly despise him i think one issue is that games just feel like work lately. none of my current peer group is really into jameses so it’s not something i would share or chat about and definitely not play together. i do try and pick up cool looking indie titles from time to time because i feel like that’s where the best innovations are found. a lot of these aaa titles really bore me

Improbable Lobster posted:upgrading your armour is the secret to breaking combat, enemies can't kill you if they only do a quarter heart of damage The barbarian armor will give you a significant damage boost, or if you have the DLC the phantom train armor is excellent. Combat gets stupidly easily if you learn all the mechanics they teach you early in the game. Then you get to have a lot of fun fighting all the bigger monsters in the game.

im kind of in the same boat as mediaphage - most games just aren't for me. what i've found to help is: 1. play with a guide if you want. little jones and i are playing through majora's mask, and if we get stuck for more than a few minutes we check the guide. sometimes, we Should Have Figured It Out. but other times, it's obtuse game design or we missed something someone said or whatever, and it's much better to just get pointed in the right direction. we're in it for the time we spend together and the zelda-based conversations after, not figuring out on our own that we can put a deku princess in a bottle (_what?_) 2. stop playing games when they aren't fun any more. if you really care about the story, youtube has cutscenes. don't force yourself to finish a game just for the sake of finishing it or getting a trophy or whatever. i love slay the spire, but i don't see myself going back to it any time soon. same with dead cells (went through once), hades (never escaped, but might go back with assist mode on), tangledeep (only got 15 or so floors in iirc), hollow knight (couldn't beat the big fallen mantis guy). but i had fun with them, and that's enough. 3. play "non-gamer" games. i've been spending more time with video games lately purely because i've been playing picross on the switch. games that you can play for 30 minutes are way better than games where you have to play for a couple hours at a chunk. handhelds like the switch are great for this cause you can just mash the home button to suspend whatever you're doing, even if it's not a proper save point or whatever. i think ps4/5 can do this sort of thing too, sort of, but it seems more error-prone to me (esp on ps5, where mashing the home button brings up an overlay but doesn't necessarily suspend the game) it also helps if you have kids and get to see the absolute wonder in their eyes when something happens. i basically dont play action/fighting type games because I don't want little jones exposed to that. even games i'm really excited for like red dead redemption 2, i haven't played because, jeeze, that poo poo's just so _heavy_, I don't have the energy to deal with that right now. so it's tetris, zelda, and shmups from the 90s or maybe just you really truly dont like games at all any more, which is fine too of course. but it sounds to me like youre just trying to play the AAA behemoths that aren't really as convenient for people with, like, commitments and responsibilities and stuff

The wanderer is easily one of the most broken classes in sts. You have so many free/cheap cards that get better with the stance changes. If you want to get better at sts i'd recommend watching jorbs who is one of the best players at the game. He has a very monotonous voice and dry sense of humor though so be warned. https://www.youtube.com/user/JoINrbs https://www.twitch.tv/jorbs

i appreciate the link, but im not really invested in getting better or anything. im sure if i played her more and unlocked stuff i'd get there, but in keeping with "play something else when you're done with it," i'm happy moving on. i think it's an issue of her not being that interesting/fun until i unlock more cards, but getting there is kinda boring besides these picrosses aren't gonna solve themselves!

i walked away from games for like a decade. its ok to be over it. ive been back since covid but i generally only like playing games for an hour or two at a time. ive enjoyed stuff like cities skylines and civ for gently caress around games. i enjoy being able to stop whenever. im shocked im into valheim honestly. ive been playing a bunch of fifa as my quick game recently but my friend group got super into it so ive been playing that a lot. i get annoyed by rpgs now. casual csgo is fun too but lol im not sitting an hour for a full ranked match

My kingdom for casual 5v5s in CSGO. None of the maps were designed for 10 v 10 and feel awful when you play them. That said I mostly just play deathmatch whenever I play csgo.

every 5 years or so i go hard into sports games for about three months. then im over them forever until the next one. the pro move for me was to buy the 8 dollar sports games at gamestop when the mood struck but not so much these days. i paid a dollar for a month of ea play and like 30 hours of fifa and madden is worth a dollar to me.
