Anon wants to talk about the games they like, not the games other people like.

Let people enjoy things

Rust?

Let people enjoy things.

"Oh yeah, I'm a big gamer. I play FIFA and COD. And next year I'll play next year's FIFA and COD."

"Hey do you like games?"

Yeah. I've got all the FIFA's

I used to play everything. Then I developed a sense of taste and learned to recognize what I know I wouldn't much care for, and don't bother with those games. I like shit with complexity, depth of mechanics, and loads of weirdness. Like Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Earth Defense Force, and soulslikes. Popular AAA games tend to be anything but that. The newest game of high caliber complexity that is also popular and AAA I do like is Baldur's Gate 3.

Be me. Spend 2 grand on new PC. Play sim city 3000 night after night after night.

Is KSP a autistic game? If so I got at least 10,000 hours in.

i know it can be hard sometimes to have a deep conversation about videos games. but in defense of these people gaming is very vast and the freedom of choice and variety of stuff to play can be to much for some. i thinks thats why many people don't explore what gaming all got to offer.

I should start a new Factorio run

Yeah I'm a sim racer, and I suck.

Today I'm playing GT7, tomorrow I'm probably play some GT7 and if I'm getting really frisky next week I might play some GT7.

Gotta git gud.

Have you heard of this one game? It's called SUPER MARIO BROS!!!!

Indy classic. Came out a few years ago. You probably never heard of it.

I play Factorio too.

Yes the same with sport. There's too many damn sports there should only be one sport at a time.

All sports players should be required to play in all sports. I want to see baseball players doing ice hockey, but that would probably lead to a blood bath. So we'll do that one at the end.

In my experience

"Oh yeah im a hardcore gamer im already prestige 6 in COD bro."

Sounds like Anon doesn't wanna talk about video games after all

Disclaimer "autistic PC game" triggered this post.

Am i the only one sinking... ungodly... hours into Nethack?

Well, as a Factorio and Rimworld player I know which one I am...

I'm the worst type of gamer.

I think gaming is bad and think gamers have bad opinions.

My perfect game is Civilizaris Skypico 4X for the PS1.

Mostly.

If it's not a magnificent 4x experience that makes me forget to blink for hours at a time, I want punishingly difficult quarter muncher style arcadey titles.

I have too much time in the Vlambeer games, and have way too much time in splatformers.

Jrpgs are OK too, but I only like them on handheld. I'm working through the PSX release of FF7 on my RGxx35sp right now and having a blast with it.

My tiny claim to fame is that I once beat After Burner Climax at Gameworks in Newport, Kentucky circa 2011

I mean, that's the same shit you see happening in music, books, movies...

Most of us stick with one genre, and then sometimes you get to appreciate the entire medium. But it's not easy for everybody.

I always think it's like colours. I can't fathom people who actually genuinely have a favourite color they always wanna have.
But at the same time, if you ask me to read anything that's not outside of a few favourite genres, it is a struggle.

So yeah, at least try to appreciate that others may not like exactly what you like. And it's okay if they only like the one thing. They are missing out sure. But you're probably missing out on plenty of stuff too.

I feel like the rise of live service games and rogue-likes that are based around incremental progression definitely shifted the status quo to everyone having like 1 game, maybe 2, where they spend most of their time. Every game seems to demand you commit more and more time.

The only exception I can think of is Paradox Grand Strategy type games (which is my secondary "main" game)

“…15,000 hours in this autistic PC game…”

Found another Star Citizen fan! 😆

I enjoy trying a lot of new games, but I do tend to gravitate to rpg and exploration, or tbs. And yea a couple favs from childhood make constant reappearances

I play a lot of different games but my favorites are RPGs, shooters and space sims.

I'm not ashamed to admit I have nearly 6700 hours in Fallout 4. I like what I like. I play it like Sims with shooting.

Well, I might be a little ashamed.

Okay, what games do you want to talk about?

The death of monoculture comes for gaming too. The sheer number of games out there means you can always find some niche gem that really appeals to you and you specifically, but then you might not find anyone else who knows it and wants to talk about it.
