Like you know how you can play on Xbox ps or steam is there any other companies that have their own exclusives and everything

Where should you start a kid? Do you start 2d and 3d later or 3d from the start?

Okay this will be a very weird one because I'm using a microphone to type this out but I would like some help choosing a game for my friends to get started on to sort of break this cycle of loading and play games that I have kind of dubbed them I don't exactly know what you'd call them but their games like Minecraft schedule 1 rocket League stuff like that where there's no story there's no objective there's tutorials it's very easy to play and you just load in and start playing it and my two of my only friends who have video games this is all they play and it's really hard for me to find something else for them to play because they play it once and then never play it again for example I suggested Baldur's Gate 3 and Helldivers 2 to both of them so that we can all play that together and they ended up playing it once and then never playing it again and to one of them I even suggested Elden ring so he could try and get into a bit of more challenging game and he played that only once as well and could understand when I say you just needed to run around he has no sense of adventure so to speak and I constantly needed to tell him where to go because he was getting confused when I said "it doesn't matter if you see a place just run to it" so would like some suggestions on games that could maybe ease them out of this that are potentially multiplayer or even single player doesn't really

Recently got really into cyberpunk but the more I look it up the more I realize how much of the game I’m playing “incorrectly” or at least not in the most optimal way, and how many different items and novelties that I’m missing.

Any advice on how to find more of these items without spoiling a lot of the game? And any suggestions on how to build V

is it you or what people want you to be?

This post is just me trying to reflect on my game taste, every time I play a game by sony, I get bored because it is just a repetitive gameplay loop with a movie goin on in the background, I haven't truly found a game from em that I can enjoy and actually look forward to play.

I'm now playing STALKER G.A.M.M.A. and it's actually pretty good.

So, now I ask you, my fellow gamers. Do you truly enjoy the games or do you feel like you're enjoying them?

I too want to feel what it's like enjoying those but I simply cant, can you help me with that?

Thanks!

If you have a lot of backlogs, when do you start continuing some of them? Do you actually just play one offline (that have story line to finished) game and finish it completely without switching to another game? Or what if that one game causes you to burn out, but you still want to finish it because you don't want your progress to go to waste? Are you going to hold in for a bit and switch to some fresh new game?

What about online games though, like gacha games? Of course, sometimes you need to catch up on events before they end, even while your real life is getting busier.

Note: It's nothing serious, just asking

Hi Everyone,

I am new here, 24 years old, writing from Poland. I need someone to talk about my problem and there's no better place than a group of gamers. My issues are surely not rare, but nevertheless I need to kind of vent about them.

To begin with, I love fictional worlds. Since I remember I always wandered about books, movies and shows I've watched, it didn't really matter if they were fantasy or sci-fi. Same happened with video games. As a kid I played a lot of racing games, some action adventure but not that much. Instead of playing those more advanced story games I watched lots of youtubers and live that experiences with them so to speak. Something changed in junior high school when I switched to LoL and Counter Strike. I believe that this choice is one of the reasons im writing this post right now lol. They gave me some kind of addiction to dopamine and that fierce rivalization. I have so many great memories with those games, but their toll is still in me.

Having said all that, now I can finally talk some more about my issue which is; I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO PLAY and get bored after playing a couple of minutes of any story game. Recently I've gotten myself a new PC, which allows me to play almost anything I'd like and I hoped it would cure my problems, but it didn't. There was a big improvement for some time, but now we are back to square one.

I picked up Expedition 33, and no game has ever hooked me that much. I loved almost everything about it and it reminded me why I've fallen in love with that hobby in the first place. Another game that made me happy was Cyberpunk, also a brilliant experience, thinking about it to this day. RDR2 came to my liking also. But now I feel stuck again. It hurts even more than the first time, because I've proven myself that I can enjoy non-competive games again, but now...

This issue certainly is not rare. Modern day social media made consuming media very difficult, my adhd is not helping either. I'm searching for some advice, simillar stories like mine or maybe some recommendations.

I did try soulslike games and they just aren't for me. 60 fps cap in Elden Ring is too mind boggling and can't past that. Currently I'm battling with Baldur's Gate 3. I like it, especially the talking part but this game has SO many mechanics that it just overwhelms me at times.

Please help <3

I need a laptop at a 600€ budget. That's going to be good for school and also gaming.(Games that are intended to play: Minecraft, GTAV and myb Fortnite).

Any suggestions?😅

Can I ask why do so many guys like playing as female characters? Literally does not make sense to me. Do you not want the main character to be yourself while you are playing? This isn’t having a go this is a genuine question to those who do this. Especially in games like Dark souls, gta online, Red dead, Elder scrolls. Like this doesn’t make any sense to me.

Early childhood I used to play games on PC and when smartphones started booming I started playing games there and never played anything on pc or any consoles. Another thing is I never owned a console before nor have I experienced playing them. I'm totally confused what should I buy? An XBOX or Ps5. Since it's my first time

I think stealth and survival horror are also great in first person.

Hey guys, I recently got into an argument with a friend saying how "+1 speed keyboard escape is the best game ever made". He kept on saying things like "Oh it has the best graphics ever" and "oh but it has 271k players" etc. (yes, i have already said to him quality over quantity)

So, I tried to prove him wrong by showing him the graphics of games like cyberpunk and forza horizons 5 (peak games btw), but he still kept saying how they were too flashy and apparently"bad" compared to +1 speed keyboard escape.

Can u guys help me come up with arguments to actually respond to him

I’m not sure if I should switch games when I haven't finished the ones I'm currently playing.

If you’re familiar with Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, I’m playing both right now. They’re super fun and I’ve put a lot of time into them—I switch between them depending on my mood. But I’ve hit a point where it feels pretty grindy and hard to keep going without feeling burnt out.

I just bought Persona 5 and really want to give it a try, but I heard it takes over 100+ hours to finish. I’m a bit worried that I’ll end up burnt out on that too and just add another title to my backlog, well, since these are all single-player story-driven games. I also have an online game I play on the side whenever I feel like it. ​I won't abandon the first two games since I've come this far, but I might need to put them on hold for now.

Note: I just feel kind of bad because life is getting busier too. I really hate having a backlog, so I wish I could just finish games one by one without having to put one on hold for so long. But yeah, burned out can happened

I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this, and what did you guys do?
