This would be a good use for LLMs. Humanizing random NPCs to encourage players to take non-violent routes.

Madison420,

Some games are trying to embrace the people of the land concept and I fuckin love it.

“You will be to exhausted from being exploited at work to pursue your passions.” Is another option here.

I mean I definitely play them a lot less, even when I find myself with some time it’s difficult to get invested when I know I won’t have more time going forward. But I do still play them, and I do still love them. Card games board games video games they are still a ton of fun with friends I just don’t have the ability to dedicate entire days to them anymore

summerof69,

I find myself with some time it’s difficult to get invested when I know I won’t have more time going forward.

I feel the same sometimes. I’m so disappointed with games like God of War and Doom. Between my gaming sessions, I forget how their talents and upgrades systems work, and generally I have no interest in them. Nowadays everything wants to be an RPG, and throw as many mechanics at their players as possible. But I just want to have some fun after work, not obtain a PhD in game design.

Returning to a game you’ve left unfinished or just havent played in a long while can really feel like leaving ones comfort zone. Funny thing though is that its often a lot easier than one might think once you actually gather enough motivation to sit down to it.

When it comes to light rpg mechanics, those are usually designed so that you can’t really go wrong with them. They’re more of a problem when you’re a “minmaxer” looking to “optimize fun out of the game” as then it’s really easy to start overthinking about these things.

TankovayaDiviziya,

I definitely play them a lot less, even when I find myself with some time it’s difficult to get invested when I know I won’t have more time going forward.

This is it. I have less time now as a working adult to play games, and I am single with no responsibility to a partner or kids. Heck, I also find few times to read books and I have a book from library due soon to return. I am a bit traditional with wanting to read books but I might try audiobook at some point.

Cryophilia,

Audiobooks are a game changer for a time-strapped reader

Maybe one day. But that day is not today.

match, do gaming w This also applies to a lot of RPG fans

it is tho

fluxion, do games w Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

Reading my Diablo 2 and WarCraft 2 manuals on the toilet were some of the highlights of my childhood

Dude I remember reading the original X-Com manual like it was a novel.

uienia,

The manual for the original Elite was literally a novel, well one of the many volumes of printed documentation it came with was

Hazmatastic, do gaming w This is why god invented transmog

Me in cyberpunk. Iconic weapons are just decoration for my pad 99% of the time. The only one I use is the upgraded starter pistol

FoxFairline, do gaming w I may have said this before...
@FoxFairline@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It is not a bad game but guild wars 2 is much more fun to me if you want to compare MMOs altogether.

snugglesthefalse,

I’ve had fun with both. Playing the most recent expansions is on my list of things to do.

LemmyRefugee,

Gw2 is my favourite game but if you are into high end raids, either FF14 or Wow are better in my opinion.
If you are into PvP or open world, I prefer gw2.

SuperSaiyanSwag, do gaming w What was Capcom thinking?

This makes me afraid for Monster Hunter Wilds. That is my favorite series and the only game I still play online.

TwigletSparkle,

Luckily the only paid Monster Hunter content so far has been cosmetics and expansions, hopefully it stays that way.

blazeknave, do gaming w Ignorance is bliss

hard power down like Barry Allen; rips phone cable out of wall (and rj45 in half); runs to router and rips entire power strip out of wall; safe mode with no idea if this helps; blindly searches for very new or old .bat files; tries to figure out how to search entire registry by recent; sob; play eu1 or whatever it was 30 yrs ago

Glytch, do gaming w We've had a few killer games recently

Lethal Company is shit-tier stream bait, don’t lump it in with these two masterpieces.

Daxtron2,

sure if you have no friends I could see why you think this

Glytch,

My friends are too busy spreading managed democracy in the name of Super Earth to pick through shit in a game that purposely looks and plays like ass.

Daxtron2,

Ah that tracks

Kiosade,

Any game could be more fun with friends, that’s not a great argument.

Daxtron2,

Well considering it’s designed to be a co-op game I’d say it’s a perfect argument

PatFussy, do gaming w We've had a few killer games recently

Is it just me that think helldiver’s 2 was incredibly boring? It feels like cod zombies but only a tiny bit better. I decided to refund it at the 2 hour mark

Lizardking27,

Never played it but I see what you mean. It and Lethal Company are both just endless repetitive multi-player missions.

scoobford,

It isn’t a super deep game to me, but it is simple with a decent skill ceiling. I remember getting totally rolled on an automaton mission.

It also has a pretty good community and sells a fantasy, like DRG. I think that a what people love most about it.

Jaderick, do gaming w Help

How dare you -deez nuts- me.

Kolanaki, do gaming w Just fuck off back to ranked already

9 times outta 10 when I see someone complaining about the overcompetitive player, the overcompetitive player is just winning while the dude playing for fun is getting destroyed, then whining about “try hards.”

Cagi,

No, it’s a different mentality. There’s the player who dies, laughs, then respawns. Then there’s the player that can never die without blaming someone else. The enemy tactics were cheap, they were hacking, the game is unbalanced, their teammates fucked up, etc. It’s infuriating to deal with. Instant block when I run into these overgrown children.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Yeah… That’s the 10th player in the “9 out 10” or the whiner who is complaining about the “try hards” I already mentioned.

Abucketofpuppies,

The most annoying thing about playing with competitive gamers isn’t losing. It’s the cheesing, exploits, lack of variety due to meta, micromanaging from teammates, etc…

Mastengwe,

Nope. That’s not it.

criitz,

Im gonna disagree, I think a large portion of online gamers are not healthily competitive and many of them make the game worse for the ones who just want to have some casual fun.
