Hmm… I thought I knew what you mean, but you said MH and now I’m confused. Monster Hunter is mainly dodge and hit? I’m not an expert, but this is how I played World/Rise. How different were older MH games?

_Lory98_,

It’s less important in the newer games, since the monsters are less predictable and their attacks track a lot, and the hunters get parries or other options (in GU and Rise in particular), but you often need to position yourself defensively to preemptively avoid attacks and usually keep attacking. For example: the Rathian charge is instant, so you should keep to her side to avoid it and her other frontal attacks like the fireballs.

Pretty often you could just walk out of attacks if you knew they were coming.

Immersive Sims: BioShock. Dishonored, Deus Ex… etc. I can’t do FPS, it’s so unnatural for me not to be able to see my character. I struggle to establish spatial relationships with anything else inside the game world, and I don’t find aiming fun at all.

To a lesser extent, yet for similar reasons, fast-paced action FPS like Doom. Looks super fun, but I can’t get over my fundamental issues with the genre.

Joelk111,

Far Cry 3 is what got me into FPS. Cyberpunk is also, of course, great.

Crusader Kings 3, I know I‘ll look at the clock and get a panic attack, don‘t have time for that time machine right now lol

Sims and Gala Story as they were on fb before they got destroyed

Dyson Sphere Program. Played in early access few years ago. The game has changed a lot since, but with a toddler now I don’t think I’ll have the amount of time needed anytime soon, and by the time I have I’ll probably have something else

I get random friend requests from accounts in discord servers that I haven’t even viewed, let alone interacted in, for years - most have some sort of “live/laugh/love” bio blurb. Maybe I’m just an antisocial hermit at this point, but I ignore every single one.

In comparison, Steam seems a lot more genuine. You can always try suggesting discord for voice chat if you’re leery of installing an unknown program just for talking to that user.

I've got a handful of JRPGs sitting on my backlog, that I never make time for because I'm just grinding another round of the same few forever games.

Shadow of the Erdtree. It’s never gone on sale. I know it’s 40 bucks but ffs its been out for years and the base game goes on sale all the time.

Mouse-heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Sims 3, and other management games. Due to a chronic injury, I’m force to mainly play with a controller, and trying to play these games with a controller would be abysmal.

Cease,

Try the steam deck or wait for the steam controller! The touchpads work great once you get used to them!

ToTheGraveMyLove,

You can get a used Steam controller on eBay. It’s perfect for games like these.I played Dawn of War with one and it worked great.

InFerNo, do games w Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

Rocket League had a native Linux version, but they also pulled that.

Duamerthrax,

And a Mac client.

CaptainBasculin, do games w Video games, random friend requests, and scammers!

I have blocked 357 accounts that sent a random friend invite, where 302 of it were automated. I do have some stuff on my Team Fortress 2/CS2 inventory which attracts all sorts of scammers and bots, even though I’ve stopped playing both games for quite some time.

With that said, I’m cool with random invites from real people. There are lots of games where you can use more people to play with, regardless of how close you are.

The Tales of games. Or at least the early ones.

I tried to get into MOBAs multiple times. Just reinstalled Dota 2 again (previously when I was still on Windows tried LoL). I don’t know what it is, but I just cant get into and play it. I like the idea of it though.

Royal_Bitch_Pudding,

You could try Heroes of the Storm. It’s shorter, team combat focused, and all xp is shared.

Likewise, Smite was my main flirtation with MOBAs, but I only really played the arena mode (which was admittedly fun)

Mine actually too. lol. But it didn’t do it for me either, at least not in the long run.

Trilogy3452,

Deadlock accomodates more playstyles, has builds to blindly follow to ease into the game mechanics and still have loads of fun

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m actually very interested into Deadlock. Got an invite when the game was new and it is what I imagined SMITE would be. The game has actual hero shooter elements and third person shooter like Marvel Rivals*, paired with the genre I am trying to get into. The reason why I do not play it is, because I don’t like playing Early Access games and wait for its official launch.

  • Edit: (Overwatch is first person not third, but it doesn’t actually matter)
Trilogy3452,

That’s fair. Matchmaking is not great, and quite a few balance issues exist atm. So there’s def benefits in waiting

Damn, I was going to recommend Xenoblade and Monster Hunter, but seems these are the exact games that inspired you to make this thread in the first placr, haha.
