20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.
After dropping my computer not having wifi for a week, an adapter was finally delivered over the weekend and I got to 100 invasion kills in Sniper Elite 5! I recorded most of the clips since I wanted to see the final stats, my spreadsheet is almost done.
It also unlocked the ghillie suit, but I’ll be playing less frequently since I have a damn game to make.
I’m not 100% sure yet. I think I want to make a beginner kaizo hack… But mainly just learning the tool right now and will see if I’m inspired to do something after
Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.
Something inside you is not being satisfied by gaming, and you need to listen to that voice. It doesn’t mean you won’t ever enjoy games again, but it also means you need to find that fulfillment in order to enjoy them again.
I recommend figuring out what the last thing you did was that you really felt free from outside thought and were focused on, or what left you feeling satisfied with your own efforts. Was it an art project? Something you cooked? A hike you went on?
Your brain is screaming at you to make something of your experiences, to have a sense of growth and proceeding forward towards a goal. It doesn’t have to be career or studying either, we’re not wired to feel fulfilled from answering the phone for 8 hours a day, nor are we wired to feel fulfilled extracting virtual loot, at least not long-term, we’re wired to feel fulfilled creating things with our hands or moving our body.
I stopped enjoying games, so I started making games. Totally new experience, feels completely different and after getting past some initial hurdles of feeling overwhelmed, it’s now addicting. I have no idea if I’ll ever launch a real, finished game, but there’s incredible satisfaction in making your first hallway that you can run and jump through, it feels far different than buying and downloading even the most expensive commercial game release. I’ve played a thousand hallways and crates and jumping, but that first one I made myself beats them all. And now I have new appreciation for some indie game that some person made, I feel a connection and it makes games more enjoyable.
I used to draw a lot back then. My loss of interest for games gradually made me go back to drawing and I am fine with it, it is nearly a decade I have not drawn until I decided to work on something yesterday on a paper. Did my first dedicated drawing yesterday and I am planning to do more in the next weeks 🙂.
I still play games sometimes though (warframe, minecraft, worldox) but again just for a few minutes and rarely an hour or more.
That’s awesome, one day someone who can draw pictures with their hands will be seen like an ancient fucking wizard, do not abandon the Old Ways! Also, I highly recommend joining an art club, a forum or discord/chat group for art, whatever the genre is, social connection while being creative is a driving force that can open entire new avenues in your life :)
I have this feeling about niche, hardcore survival experiences and social games that have slow-burn like Project Zomboid or SCUM. It’s really hard to find someone who doesn’t just want instant satisfaction and action and wants to get lost in a world and enjoy the process instead of the objective.
Maybe it’s just the type of games you play that you’ve lost interest in. Steam has lots of demos for games from just about every gaming genre, so maybe try out demos for highly rated games of genres you don’t normally play. You may end up surprising yourself. Maybe you do like cosy games, or real time strategy, or management simulations, etc, but because you’ve never tried them, you never realized that you like them.
I’m not sure what Halo has to do with it? Also from what I remember Gears was a huge franchise back in the peak Xbox 360 days so of course it got sequels
Honestly. Games that came out after late 2001 and have less than 5 weapons have no business getting sequels. That said, I feel like we’re ignoring some more important criteria here. Like the amount of main characters named John. Gears of War didn’t have any! Can you believe that??
Live service games that start getting long in the tooth adding too much content.
There’s plenty to hate on with Dead by Daylight, but I was at one point pretty good at it both killer and survivor. Eventually I started to feel there were too many perks and characters to keep track of and I lost interest.
I felt the same about Team Fortress 2 when they started adding new weapons. That’s probably not a popular opinion but the initial updates tying weapon unlocks to achievements really soured me on the game, permanently. I stopped playing.
Currently, I’m replaying The Witcher 3, and the main annoyance I’m having right now is not being able to pause during timed choices (and timed choice are a whole other problem in games too).
You can pause during non-time-sensitive dialog choices, but not during timed ones. I don’t know why they specifically deny pausing for those. Maybe to prevent people from pausing and thinking it out? But, some of these times sensitive choices greatly effect the story. I want to be able to think about these choices when they effect the story.
Timed choices have their place in games as a valid storytelling mechanism but please not in my open-world, RPG, fantasy hack-n-slasher.
Like if I’m playing a role I need to think about my choice and make sure it fits the character I’m trying to play. I’m not playing myself so my knee-jerk choice might not be the same as what I’m trying to experience.
I mean that is kinda exactly what the developers want to provoke with timed dialogue choices. Timed dialogue choices are a game design mechanic to try and get a player to answer on instinct/gut feeling, rather than over analysing and trying to optimise the dialogue.
You not getting to think about it long is very much the intended effect, and allowing a pause would entirely defeat it.
There are of course definite accessibility concerns that should be considered and worked around, such as people with dyslexia who may not be able to properly parse the dialogue options before the timer runs out, but as a game mechanic I think forcing the player to pick on instinct definitely has merit. It helps make the game more immersive, because it puts you under the same pressure to react as your character is in the story right now, and it can lead to more interesting and ultimately enjoyable games by forcing players to potentially make a mistake, and having to find out a way to deal with the fallout.
