Sundial, do games w Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change?

All the games you listed like PUBG and GTA V are more like fads. Sure some lasted longer than others but their popularity dies down. Games like Counter Strike are considered to be more of classics. Especially to the older generation of gamers who grew up on them. These are games that are able to stand the test of time.

GTA V is a fad? That game is over a decade old dude

Sundial,

CS:GO is around the same age with much more players on average. GTA V’s player count tends to fluctuate based on what I’ve seen.

GTA V is second only to Minecraft in copies sold across all of video games, and it still appears in the top 10 for copies sold on most months, 11 years after its initial release. It’s also available on other stores and consoles, so Steam is not a complete picture.

0ops,

And pubg isn’t exactly the latest thing anymore either. It came out in 2017.

xhrit,

And it was based on an arma mod from 2012.

Rai,

Ugh that game died to me the day they added bots. I am so sad, it was one of my favorite games. My first 1v99 win got my heart rate up above 170.

Because Fortnite isn’t on Steam. Super sure if it was, it would have usurped CS for the top spot.

Keep in mind that Counter-Strike has been a massively popular competitive shooter with tournaments and the biggest pro scene in the West for decades. It’s had years to cultivate its massive following. Most of the other games on the top 10 are babies by comparison to CS’s old man status.

Buttflapper,

Because Fortnite isn’t on Steam. Super sure if it was, it would have usurped CS for the top spot.

I actually do really enjoy Fortnite, but according to their in-game stats, it’s hit a lull. The other one is minecraft… idk what people do in that game though. Never tried it haha. just seeking something fun and it’s just the same games every single month…

Minecraft is so moddable, most people playing Minecraft might actually just be playing another game built inside Minecraft lol

Can confirm, BuildCraft was Satisfactory before Satisfactory

pixeltree,

Buildcraft + IC2, my beloved

newcool1230,

Minecraft is so moddable Damn I wish it was on steam. The workshop installing/uninstalling mods would be sooooo easy

The front-end launchers that are most popular basically work that way. The Bedrock edition also somewhat works that way, it just has fewer impressive mods and they’re not free.

I'm in my 40s and I've been playing counterstrike since I was in my 20s. I play other games briefly but anytime i'm bored I still hop on CS. It's a habit like checking your locks 3 times or taking your clothes off to poop

Buddy… What?

Asafum,

They’re just referring to normal habits we all do like checking your oven for the family of mice you let live there before leaving for work or brushing your teeth one tooth at a time while watching the Flintstones in a language you don’t understand. We all do it.

vonxylofon,

You don’t have a poop knife?

Tramort,

That’s a reddit thing.

There are no poop knives in the fediverse

vonxylofon,

Poop dessert fork will have to do, then.

OopsAllTwix,

That’s disgusting. I only have a toe knife.

WalnutLum,

Yea like moving all the food on the top shelf of your fridge to the bottom and moving everything up shelf by shelf every morning or making sure you vacuum your walls properly. Standard stuff.

deepfriedchril,

Gotta make sure everything is locked, helps with pooping.

Krackalot,

I don’t know about every time, but I’ve had an intestinal blockage. Everything came off. I was sweating and crying for what felt like hours. Pooping was the best feeling I’ve ever had at that moment.

pixeltree,

Been there, though I just took a couple hours in the shower with the enema wand set to “pressure wash”

meco03211,

While I don’t fully disrobe, the freedom of pulling one leg out of my pants is amazing. You can get a nice spread going for those times you need to bear down a bit.

CrayonRosary,

It’s a habit like licking the bottom of your shoes when you get home.

MrHandyMan,

The older I get, the less I want to learn new competitive games because I just don’t have time anymore. It’s just nice to go back to something familiar every now and then.

Baldurs Gate III?

Also I don’t play RPG usually. But I really like this one. Arco have RPG and Turn Based Element. You should try it.

I too like going fishing in my underwear.

Jesus hung out with fishermen.

Adding this to my Steam wishlist. Looks fun!

callouscomic,

It’s an excellent story and great action gameplay. It’s long, but persist and the story pays off incredibly.

This game fulfills my only two requirements. Anime girls, and fishing.

Yep. Lots of “Plot” to appreciate here

callouscomic,

This game actually has an incredibly good story.

dev_null, do games w What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?

I looked at the latest and most “recent” heroes games… they’re all rated/reviewed SO harshly.

Many of the negative reviews are (and rightly so) because of Ubisoft forcing you to use their crappy launcher, adding DRM, and otherwise making the customer experience horrible, and not because there is anything wrong with the genre.

As far as I have heard, 5th game is the last good one. Personally, I haven’t really played it ever, I am mostly just playing HOMM3 and 4.

PapstJL4U, do games w I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.
@PapstJL4U@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe look out for single player games?

Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.

Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.

Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.

daddy32,

This. The stuff OP hates in the games is added as the “endgame content” for people planning on spending half their lifetime in the game. That kind of “content” is generally not added to single-player-first games like those you mentioned.

simple, do games w What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?

They’re just not as popular as they used to be, and there are so many players on console nowadays. I can’t imagine playing an RTS with a controller.

Age of Empires seems to be doing really well though. The first 3 games got great remasters, and AoE 4 is well received from what I understand.

ColeSloth,

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more gaming pcs now days, too. Consoles have been loosing out on the gaming market share since the 90’s. PC overtook consoles in both popularity and profits a bit over a decade ago.

Disheartening enough though, is that as far as profits are concerned, mobile games make $ more than pc and console combined.

CosmoNova,

Many fans of RTS and Halo swear on Halo Wars when it comes to RTS on a console. Apparently, they really figured out how to do it right, but I haven’t played it myself.

CosmoNova, do games w What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?

I guess you’re just playing the wrong ones, really. The Age of Empires games (specifically 2 remake) have been celebrating a decent comeback and AoE4 was released to critical acclaim. Of course Blizzard won’t release anything worth your time anymore, but not everyone is Blizzard. As for turn based RPGs: They’re more popular than ever and I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about. Turn based JRPGs are hugely popular and even CRPGs can be hugely popular if done right.
