Anon wants to talk about video games

  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 play literally anything, but with an increased rate of Single Player FPS, Twin-Stick Roguelite, Bullet Heavens,ARPGS and Roguelikes. Currently my main fixation is The King is Watching, I haven’t the issue that i only play specific games, but i can’t finish any of them -.- It’s like i have a fear of coming into a situation where i fail, damn anxiety.

  I have a very broad taste, so I play it all… except sports games. Usually stop before the 200h mark for all games. I think that’s the division I see the most: gamers who play it all and sports gamers. There’s niche subdivisions like people who stick to one genre or old games only but I can relate with them because… I play it all.

  I have played several hundred games, only really like 80 or so of them. La-Mulana, Lobotomy Corporation, Terranigma, Radiant Historia, and DROD RPG are some of those. I think most people wouldn’t have heard any of them.

    Terranigma was awesome. I have heard of La-Mulana, but never actually played it

      I am figuring on playing Terranigma again someday, once the Redux patch has finished cooking. Also will be using MSU, for that CD-grade audio.

      IMO, La-Mulana is likely to be among the very best metroidvanias. However, it is very much a love-it-or-hate-it type of thing. All the greatest games tend to be that way, it is just an issue of people discovering their compatibility.

  I don’t see a difference between the last two

  I used to be a League of Legends only guy. I also played Fifa on the side. Basically: competitive online games only.

  The problem is they have a heavily addictive gameplay loop, and it takes seconds to get into a game. Win a game? Dopamine is high and you wanna keep chasing it. Lose a game? Keep playing until you get that high.

  I managed to get away from it, and at the moment I’m focusing on ‘hard’ single player games. Hades, Elden Ring, Megabonk (lol), that kind of thing and I am having an absolute blast. I’m realising that ‘hard’ gaming is my preference, whether online or offline.

  I think it’s completely normal to have a preference when it comes to gaming. Playing a completely different genre is more of a risk, when you know you prefer e.g., rogue likes, why would you stray from them?

  I’m sometimes surprised of how few people play indie games. I’m playing Neon White now and having a blast.

  I guess I am the last one. I play one game exclusively for long periods of time. Currently, it is Baldur’s Gate 3. Previous to that was Destiny 2 (9 years). Before that Star Wars the Old Republic for six years.

  Uh, 300h with X4, 700h with Palworld… I’d expect to be autistic with the former more than the latter

  Don’t forget the normies that only play FIFA <current year>

    ADHD means a lot of games with a ton of hours. Over 1k include Ark, Warframe, FFXIV, Civ V and Civ VI, Monster Hunter games, Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, Pal world is close at 996h etc. Generally I like a lot of stuff, except maybe most first person shooters, battle royales, and I can’t actually recall playing a sports game past some SNES basketball games. Do Mario mini games count?
