Gerudo, do games w Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play?

This was me. I eventually bounced around games and tried Satisfactory, a game type I never thought I’d like. Now it’s my new meth and daddy needs his fix.

The bouncing around isn’t a bad thing.

In fact, if anything, I try to be sensitive to when I start to burn out on a game, and when that happens I avoid playing until the desire is really strong again.

Sometimes looking for something to play means having a LARGE number of false starts before I find the thing, but I make a note of not trying a bunch of similar games whenever something isn’t scratching the itch. I make each attempt with something very different.

And coming back to a game can take years.

That’s kind why you need a TON of games if you don’t want to take breaks from gaming entirely, because otherwise the medium just doesn’t have enough variety to keep the human brain engaged.

You should try shorter games, and completely ignore whether something is “big” enough to be worth your time. The big stuff is what’s boring you right now, so don’t waste time on trying to force the enjoyment.

Plus, if you’re restricting yourself to stuff that achieves critical acclaim, you’re limiting yourself to games everyone likes. That means you’re probably missing some stuff only you and people like you would like.

Not all good things are enjoyed by everyone universally, some things are just for a subset of people.

I got all the cheap classics I had been playing with an eyepatch and a peg leg years ago. I’m especially excited about Magicka 2 to play with friends. My nephew is gonna love them!

Fuck, fam.

I legit dropped $100. I have a Steam Deck now so it’s like I can have ANY OF IT.

So far, LOTR Moria, For Honor, Barotrauma, and Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance.

I had Dark Alliance on my OG Xbox when I was younger and I’m really looking forward to playing it again as like an idle game.

I really wanted to try Starfield but can’t justify the price. Like I want to buy it, but I also don’t have that kind of money to spend. Might start asking around my local friends to see if any of them have it so I can library share with them

Cethin,

I had access to it with GamePass when it launched (I’m full Linux now so I’ve canceled that). I still pirated it because you can’t mod games distributed by Windows unless the specifically allow it. I’m saying this to say, there are alternative means to try it available if you want, but also I regret the time I wasted on it. It wasn’t worth the time spent not even spending money on it specifically, and I love previous Bethesda games and the sci-fi genre.

Any games you recommend playing? I’m very bored lately

Seasm0ke, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

Dark souls remastered, sekiro, and cities skylines

dance_ninja, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

I’m giving Yakuza: Infinite Wealth a hard look.

AgentDalePoopster,

It’s a great game and you should buy it

dance_ninja,

Nice! I got the previous entry for free on Playstation, and I really liked it.

cocobean, do games w What are the best games you can play on a laptop?

Hades

Hades 2

Sweetpeaches69, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, Age of Mythology: Retold, Northgard, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.

Blackmist,

I did like Fallen Order. It’s not particularly challenging for the most part and it being compared to Dark Souls is overblown, but it definitely “gets” Star Wars.

Sweetpeaches69,

Yeah, I’m a total Souls junkie. My favorite game ever was Bloodborne. I was on like NG+6 when I stopped playing it. That said, I never expect any game to come anywhere close to a Fromsoft Soulslike. There’s a reason they’re all called Soulslike, IMO; they can imitate, they can’t be a Souls game.

I bought it mainly because all my friends won’t stop giving me shit for not playing Fallen Order, and it does look interesting.

SplashJackson, do games w What are the best games you can play on a laptop?

I would recommend DosBox paired with Catacomb Abyss

Eezyville, do games w What is your favorite vehicle in GTA:SA?
@Eezyville@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think the car is called Remington, the two door low rider. I can trick that vehicle out as much as I want. I always keep one around so I can participate in the low rider minigames.

ShortFuse, do games w What are the best games you can play on a laptop?

Tunic

Sea of Stars

You can get a lot of games running well for that. Almost every 2D game will run great, and a bunch of 3D titles too.

I picked up Parking Garage Rally Circuit in the sales yesterday because I’ve followed the dev on tiktok and it’s quite fun. A dreamcast-style time trial game!

Mikelius, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?

The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose…

I bought “Inside”. Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I’m really loving it so far
