Thank you <3

I played the usual Factori/Kenshi recs xD they're great too.

For example I just saw a youtube vid about a roguelike private server and it looks really cool, I'll try it right now (won't name it cause I don't want to be called a shill, that's not my intention).

Are there any others?

Ascension will be closing so that's not an option haha.

Anyway, thank you!

Been doing this for years, my arm's all scratched up. I love it!

I really enjoy play fighting and he loves it too.

But if you guys say it's dangerous I'll stop cause I don't wanna risk it.

He's an indoor only cat, never been outside, ever. 9 years old.

Thank you <3

Thank you!

Just your personal opinion is fine ❤️

I am not exaggerating, literally 99% of AAA games seem awful to me, awful. Incredibly boring.

I just don't understand how people play them, how they're praising them so much. How??

Every time I try to play one it just feels so pointless and boring.

Even games that have great great ratings and are very popular, like Spiderman or God of War or Tsushima.

It's like my brain is broken, I can't enjoy these games. I can enjoy niche indie games but most games on the market feel so pointless and boring.

I think it's cause I was playing MMOs or competitive games like mobas all my life, and in MMOs everything you do progresses your account long-term, maybe?

Whereas in these AAA games it feels a lot more pointless. Like why am I spending my time mashing buttons to kill random enemies, to get to the next chunk of mediocre story? Story's not good, any book or movie would put most games' stories to shame.

Ugh I just can't get over how pointless and boring the gameplay/combat is in all AAA games. Feels like you're just doing a boring activity for no reason. How do people like this I don't understand.

Maybe I just hate this particular genre, I genuinely dislike it. Don't know what it's called but most AAA games are this genre and it's so boring.

Edit: Oh is the genre called "action" games? I think that's it, I hate action games so much. They are so boring god damn how can anyone enjoy this genre it's beyond me. I'm not every saying they're too easy or anything but god are they boring, bored to tears playing them.

Thank you ❤️

Thank you!

Ugh I've been looking for games like this for years but they're so rare.

I just want progression/dopamine, you know? I need that dopamine from numbers going up. Not a big fan of idle games though and I've played them all anyway lol.

My suggestions for anyone interested: Chronicon, Grim Dawn, Siralim Ultimate, Disgaea 5. And of course any actual scapelikes like Bloobs.

I know this is very unpopular so just bear with me, I'm dumb.

I want to understand, what do people like about that?

For example Spiderman or God of War. To me it seems like the combat is way too simple. You're basically just watching fancy animations and that's it. You press a few buttons for combos and that's it.

I don't understand why these games are so beloved. It just seems so boring.

I know you can boil everything down to "hitting buttons" but for games like these it really is that! You can probably even beat the hardest difficulties just mashing buttons.

Honestly I don't understand, I'm obsessed with finding an answer, it's eating me up. How can these games have millions of fans, I'm puzzled.

I'm the dumb one I'm not smart I agree, I am in the wrong here. I just can't understand. It puzzles me. What's there to like about this.

Thank you ❤️

Please feel free to say no, I'd genuinely like to see the opinions of others.

Here's my opinion:

Yes there's too many of them now.

Now, the reason why I say "too many", is that there's a finite number of good games released each year, especially if you don't count indie games.

So the fact that there are a lot of story-driven games kinda means there are less games for those of us who don't enjoy story-driven games.

I'm not saying story-driven games aren't good, it looks like most people love them! They're the best-rated games out there.

For me personally those games aren't enjoyable, even amazing ones like Witcher 3, Red dead Redemption 2, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon.

To me story in a video game is something extra that can make it more enjoyable, but most games nowadays seem to be focusing on it first and foremost. It's really destroying my enjoyment since instead of playing you're mostly just walking around and going from story beat to story beat with some basic, not that inspired gameplay in-between.

But that's just me and it's an incredibly niche and unpopular opinion! Which is why I'm making this thread. What do you think? Do you personally think there's too many?

Thank you <3

So that was jut a random example it doesn't have to be just this, amnesiac god or reincarnated higher being are just random examples I thought of just now, can be something else entirely! Time travel shenanigans are fine too!

Much appreciated :)

P.S: I'm currently rewatching Haruhi Suzumiya and I think it might be heading that way but I can't remember lul.

Doesn't have to be a good combat system, anything goes.

Oh and 2D can mean anything! Isometric or Top-down or whatever! I'm fine with any. Thank you ❤️

Thank you ❤️
