I'm completely and utterly burnt out from most video games. Its just an endless hamster wheel of "rewards" and doing meaningless tasks over and over again.
>Play for rewards and trinkets and not for fun >Get a reward for logging in >Your reward requires other rewards to be useful >Do a task to get this reward >Do another task to unlock doing this task >Tasks are utterly meaningless drivel >Tasks are the same recycled quests >Wait 24 hours to build a digital item >Playerbase turns into a bunch of mindless drones doing task after task after task >Build flashy cosmetic rewards >Focus on developer made content and not player made >Players barely socializes >Just do "quests" like a bunch of robots >In fact I cant tell if someone is a bot or a real person n a video game anymore >Even charge players for cosmetics >Storyline quests treat your player like the Chosen One >Even though there are x10000 other Chosen ones out there
>>Your reward requires other rewards to be useful >>Do a task to get this reward >>Do another task to unlock doing this task >>Tasks are utterly meaningless drivel >>Tasks are the same recycled quests It's just exactly the same as real life, why bother playing games to get the same experience
Try out VR One of my fav is H3VR, basically gun simulator. Over 250 real guns that handle realistically.
Christopher Davis
truth I agree 100%
Isaac Brooks
Heh I yea I agree I can't tell if people are robots or real people in some games anymore. In fact I've been playing less and less vidya. In fact anything that has micro transactions in them I avoid like the plague
Jose Roberts
play old games then
Connor Gomez
do drugs instead
orihigal
Adrian Baker
Just play Red Dead
Tyler Richardson
played portal 2 while high as balls once. I've never felt so immersed in a game, I loved it
Maybe one day people will accept that popularity brings ruin.
Adrian Gutierrez
Retard, idgaf about your shitty mmo that does that but most single player games arent like that ( and prob most games in general) so dont generalize like a moron.
Tyler Morales
Even single player RPGs nowadays follow the same model.
Dylan Butler
fucking brain blast, if you want a game thats not shit stop playing shit games
Elijah Hernandez
Hotline Miami was fairly recent and was really good
Hudson Cox
I'm planning on getting a new laptop and playing all the shit I missed out on since I never had a good enough PC, like Dead Space, Mass Effect trilogy, and F.E.A.R.
Chase Davis
Western games are pretty much paid gacha.
Austin Campbell
people complain about modern vidya while clearly only playing surface level normie trash or multiplayer trash. of course you're burnt out when you're playing obvious trash.
go and play many of the actually pretty good singleplayer games that have come out in the last few years, I'm playing through Kingdom Come right now and it's an amazing rpg that is reminiscent of early old school rpgs, especially Daggerfall. I played Sekiro just a month ago and it was an amazing Tenchu successor and a bunch of fun.
obviously the industry isn't as good as it was in the 90s, especially on pc, but there are plenty of great games still coming out.
vidya sucks bro i play destiny 2 and its not fun bro
Michael Turner
There are still some good games being made. But yeah, the high-budget shit is absolute garbage. Similar to movies.
Anthony Green
Find something you find fun and play it, if you don't like it, don't fuckin play it.
I play all sorts of games that have their stupid cosmetic stuff but i just ignore all of it. If you take away from the gameplay because of the nonsensical reward system, then you'll definitely not enjoy any sort of modern game. Just ignore that shit and play the game.
Ayden Martinez
I play games in a different language to help with learning languages. It's a good way to turn it into a productive activity. For me it's a lot more engaging than consuming other media in a different language, so it helps more.
Isaiah Diaz
Yeah I can only take warframe for a few days before burning out again. It's fun with friends but even then, at this point theres too many frames and it's too easy without intentionally dumbing yourself down I tend to play singleplayer games exclusively and half the time I play older games cause they were at least more unique
Ryan Jones
That's actually really smart user I'm gonna try that. Maybe with Witcher 3 since it has a ton of language options. Do you have English subtitles on or anything?
Brandon Brown
>warframe sorry get out while you can
Robert Collins
That's what you get when everyone ignores the bullshit of these AAA developers and keep buying their shitty games
Wyatt Bailey
My rec is kenshi. Very opposite of hamster in a wheel
that game went to shit too and private servers are dead
Leo Miller
if it's not jap or slav i don't buy it
Christopher Cook
This looks nice.
Yay or nay?
Owen Lewis
99% agree except 1% that maybe VR is enjoyable with others and so are SOME games but I agree I quit solo gaming 1/2 years ago
Luis Perry
I know this wont sway but I switched over to messing with those old ass 80s games our grandpa's used to play and shit. not as pretty and shiny looking as the new stuff but been having alot of fun trying to figure shit out and get thru games.
Played Pool of Radiance for the first time yesterday and once I figured out how it worked I really started getting into it. And in just a bit im trying out some applle IIe game called agent usa and than that one orgegon trail game I guess was huge in the 80s that everyone played. also have plans to try out ultima quest of the avatar? is the name? heard good things about that. Later i'll start getting more into consoles like the nes and that master system console.
Nathaniel Miller
I play GTA 5 sometimes. That's the most modern game I own. I miss being captivated by video games like when I was a kid. Shit sucks to be honest. Video games were one of my favorite hobbies.
Camden Brown
You ever play Sleeping Dogs? That's the only game I'll shill to death. I must have replayed it a dozen times. It's like GTA but with soul
Jordan Gonzalez
Yeah Sleeping Dogs was pretty good and I loved the story. I'm hoping Cyberpunk will be reminiscent of it but I doubt it. Cyberpunk won't live up to the hype. Evolve and Anthem both burned down in flames with this same garbage developer-benefiting only system OP has described.
David Gray
I really really miss some of those cool anime styled mmo's from 2001-2011 era. some i'll never get to get lost in for months ever again the worlds forever lost to us.... kinda makes me sad when I think about all those game worlds we'll never ever see again except in video or pics.
Oliver Myers
Rhythm games. Don't need anyone but yourself, all about self-improvement, no gay Skinner box mechanics, and you look really cool when you get good.
Luis Lee
Even more sad how those games had ten times more depth and fun that anything modern. It feels like games are made for literal retards now.
Blake Cruz
dont forget to try alpha centari
Kayden Ortiz
>rhythm games >they use a continuous multiplier >miss one note >score goes from 100 mil to 2 Fuck you
agree, osu is very fun. took me a while to get the hang of it but i can do 5* maps now.
Jackson Howard
I can't tell whether that thing at the bottom right is a gun in first person or a structure in the environment. Anyway, play stuff other than online grinding games or MMO's. I only play single player games except for when my group gets together to cook out and play fighting games. Tetris is as pure and simple as it gets, Tetris Effect is really nice to look at and has some good music. Sekiro is a good single player adventure and the combat feels good once you adjust to it. Dragon's Crown is a fun side scrolling beat em' up game with optional co-op play.
There are amazing games coming out each year. If you don't think I'm right you obviously only play video games on a surface mainstream level that is only shown everywhere at all times on TV.
Just in 2019 alone we got Sekiro,DMC5,Kingdom hearts 3,Bloodstained,and Judgement.
I did this with Mass Effect 2, 3, and Skyrim. All are fully voiced in other languages, very immersive.
Noah Collins
multiplayer shit killed gaming
Levi Ramirez
Trust me there are still great single player games. That's what publishers want you to think. Capitalism as well as individual taste will make sure that there is enough SP games to enjoy. Some people don't even connect to the internet at all when playing a game.
Robert Russell
do drugs other than weed. weed is crap.
Daniel Nguyen
>Sekiro,DMC5,Kingdom hearts 3,Bloodstained,and Judgement (none of which look interesting btw)
Zachary Gonzalez
That's what video games were to begin with user, the only difference is now they're so lazy they allow you to also pay money for the rewards up front, so you don't even have to play.
Gavin White
Try Path Of Exile. It's fun and quite addictive when you know what you're doing. Otherwise Dwarf Fortress is nice as well.
Cameron Sanders
I kinda agree. Most modern games have generally shit storylines and also the gameplay has been dumbed down so they are easy to complete and have no real challenge. Games also may give a false sense of accomplishment but if a game doesn't have any challenge then there speaking for myself I don't feel any sense of accomplishment which is what made games addicting, overtime I have just lost interest in the entire gaming industry and have moved onto better things with my life, otherwise if I do end up playing games it tends to be the old school games
