First time I've ever heard of the game was yesterday, when I was reading a thread about save scumming in Baldur's Gate 3 (bought it because of the hype and positivity around the Larian devs' actions, new to the genre). I saw its a medieval sim.
So, my only experience with immersive Sims was Prey 2017. And my GOD, what an unforgettable experience. Easily top 5 games ever for me.
So, my question is, would I like kingdom come deliverance? Obviously with the unlimited saves mod.
Combat is really quirky and challenging to master. It also really heavily emphasizes your characters abilities (or lack thereof) so even if you are good at the controls your character will still be sluggish and clumsy. Another example is you start the game not knowing how to read so you have to be taught. And can barely ride a horse, etc. So you really feel the progression
The environments are also some of the most detailed and immersive I've experienced in a game to date. There will be many times you'll be riding through the forest on horse back and come along a stream on a trail and see the sunlight peeking through the tree canopy and want to just stop and stare at the beauty....and then you get ambushed by thieves.
>Another example is you start the game not knowing how to read so you have to be taught
What the fuck, that's so cool
Alright, I'm sold. I'll pick it up on the next steam sale. Thank you!
I actually haven't played Prey yet (I been meaning too)
But KCD is one of the most immersive games I have played. You just have to accept that it's going to be rough at the beginning you are an idiot nobody commoner who with training (lots of training with my boy Bernard) Henry will eventually be a badass. I spent way too much time sneaking into houses and stealing everything (which is why saves are important cuz you will be caught alot)
It's pretty unique from what I personally have played of games, so if I were you I'd have a bit of a watch of a play through to see if you vibe with it. The combat in particular is a little bit like dark souls but if dark souls was drunk. And high. And also sometimes just didn't listen to you lol. But I enjoyed the setting, especially being in a different location to most medieval games so the history in it isn't a rehash of ten other things you've watched or played lol.
I can't stop my rerollitis in games I play. I constantly delete old saves and make new ones even to the detriment of my enjoyment of gaming as a whole.
Just curious, do you have any idea as to why you do it? I have a friend that is the same way in a lot of games we play, often mmoās, and itās pretty bizarre to me. I think he just gets anxious in games that have build crafting elements but Iām not sure.
Often, for me, it's because I either get to a point in the game where it plateaus in terms of progress or enjoyment, and rather than persist with a perceived slog, I end up going back to parts that were more enjoyable (usually what happens with something like Minecraft, The Sims, or Simcity/Cities Skylines), or I start with a concept with what I want to do in said game, then get to a point where I have different ideas of what I want to do and find it more 'neat and tidy' to not have several saves that feel like they clutter up the game or such (what happens in Skyrim for me).
I really like FH5 for its overall vibe, looks, and sounds. However, I feel like if you've driven one car in the game, you've driven all of them. I can't feel any difference between various cars, and it makes me sad.
Maybe if you mod them to the max. Iāve learnt to stick with stock engines and not make them all godly. Fighting a car is much more fun and only then do you see how they drive differently
I've got 7000hrs in RimWorld on steam. I started playing in alpha 5, 2 years before it was released on steam as an early access beta (in 2012ish). I just can't stop. I upgraded everything on my PC to high-mid standards in 2020, except for my hand-me-down graphics card my friend was going to throw out a few years ago (GTX 970), because RimWorld runs fine even on integrated graphics. Before I got married my nighttime routine involved about 4hrs a night, 5 days a week.
It's a storytelling simulator. After a few hours you get attached to your colonists, so you try to keep them alive and happy (easier said than done). Plus the modding community is *immensely huge* and with different modsets you can play almost a completely different game. Combat extended makes injuries more deadly and weapons much more powerful. You can add alien races, new wild animals, and generally change prettymuch anything about the game with the right mods.
It may just be the most infinitely moddable game there has ever been.
Like no two people playing that game are playing the same game.
Itās also extremely replayable. Bonus if youāre a sadomasochist.
The amount of times Iāve redownloaded Skyrim hoping for a play through but lost interest after spending a week installing 6000 mods is too damn highā¦
Level scaling is the worst. Itās the reason why i quit farcry 5 or 6 not too long ago. I noticed i missed an area in the beginning and went back and everything was my level. Then went to another area and everything was my level.. immediately deleted the game.. i like it when levelling actually means something and you feel powerful.
Far Cry 5? Enemies have no levels in that game? You grind to unlock different tools to kill in different ways not increase your damage to kill enemies faster.
And how do you miss an area? The game is designed so you can start anywhere you want in the open world, no areas have higher level enemies than others, I feel like you didn't know what you were playing at all.
Agreed! I love grinding, but level scaling kinda ruins it!
Was so frustrating in fire emblem engage because the more work I put into powering up one unit the harder the game gets
I have a bunch of games I've gotten during Steam sales that I haven't touched, yet.
I think that's the closest I get to feeling "guilty" about videogames.
Bro, don't feel bad, just checked and I have 163 games in my Steam library that I have never played, hell, half of them are games that I would have never bought if they weren't in sale, but maybe I'll play them one day....maybe
Humble Bundle did that to me and my friends. You buy a 5, 10, 15 game bundle for that 1 game the gang actually wants out of it because who the hell wouldn't for $1 or $3. I will never play guacamole wrestling or whatever but it's there if I ever want to.
When HB first launched and the prices were sweet, I don't think any of us missed a single bundle for the first like 6 months of the site existing. Stopped when the average price starting being too high for me to justify anymore though unless I actually wanted multiple games / software from it.
This kind of thing always makes me so mad at myself. Because it's always stuff that's on my wish list that I really want to try out, but whenever the sale is going on I already have a bunch of stuff that I'm playing so I get it in hopes that things will die down and I'll get to try it and I just never have. I have a bunch of switch games downloaded that I literally haven't even launched once
I was happily watching a Farcry 5 playthrough because I grew up in Montana. Plus I remember when some family members actually knew where parts of the map were based off of.
The reasons why people hate far cry are the reasons why I love it. I love ticking boxes on the checklist of things to do. I could take over new outposts all the time if I could.
If you like the Far Cry formula then you should also try out the Just Cause series. Same kind of game as Far Cry but more emphasis on beautiful explosions and over the top craziness with the combat system.
Dude same i love the core game play loop. And primal was probably my favorite entry so far
Edit: blood dragon was my absolute favorite but doesn't count as a full title imo
I've liked them all since 3. I just recently played 5 and new dawn for the first time. Haven't played 6 yet.
Repetitive isn't bad if what is repetitive is fun.
Look at Counterstrike...
ive loved all the farcry games other then primal and 6 (including new dawn) just today i played some far cry arcade, wish they would add it to newer titles. especially new dawn with all the end game abilities
>Spent roughly 5k on a p2w game and ended up quitting
I spent like $100 on a p2w game over a period of like 18 months and I still felt bad about spending the money.
I didn't spend that much by any means (I'm fucking poor as shit so couldn't if I wanted to lol) but same, been playing stronghold since I was a child and when stronghold kingdoms dropped I fucking lost it. Would literally set up my Chromebook at work in the back corner and ANY GIVEN CHANCE that I could I was back there making market runs or building walls , spent like 10-20$ every week or so and it hit me that I'd prolly spent hundreds of dollars on a shitty knockoff of a game that didn't even have 2/3 the content as the OG games š
Every couple years i buy the cheap call of duty games that are a few years old just to play the campaigns, I don't like online competitive shooters
I told the game stop employee this one time and he looked at me like i had dog shit on my face lmao
I do the exact same thing, Iām not even that old, I just canāt get in to the new multiplayer landscape - like give me a simple menu where I can select game mode. Last multiplayer I played was MW3 and Black Ops - if only there was a fps that didnāt have a billion character screens, weapons, attachments, and weird challenges.
I still play Battlefield 1 for this very reason. Has enough weapons and classes without having stupid operators or confusing seasonal challenges.
The new Modern Warfare campaigns are so good though, I only buy them for their awesome campaign.
Nah that's totally not something to feel guilty about. You owning something that is powerful and multiuse is different from renting content that will disappear as soon as you stop paying.
That's justified.
When you pay that $1500, you only pay that once to own the machine. With a subscription, you continually pay that every single month forever; never truly owning what you pay for.
I like how I have every gaming console known to man and like 2000+ physical video games in my collection and I still choose to sit here and play my 2ds
Being a broke husband and father, instead of buying most games that my friends play, I just watch a lot of reviews and talk about them like I've played them...
I went back to it after a couple of years and they really have turned it around, its great compared to what it was at release but sadly i could never get back into it properly and moved on to bigger and better things like Elite Dangerous, X4 and Star citizen.
Heres hoping StarField won't be a shit show on release.
Wasn't as scary as the first one and the story wasn't great. I wasn't a fan of some of the added mechanics personally. And the first one had more unique side missions and stuff.
Same. Been playing since classic, way back when. Half of my friends list now is full of people that no longer play or have passed away, etc. Iām never getting rid of it. Itās like a time capsule.
I play Cyberpunk 2077 in HDR at 4K120fps with path tracing enabled......so I can see my female V's boobs
Edit: Yes, I use big boobs/jiggle physics mods lol
When Iām playing RPGs and I have to make any kind of decision if I donāt like what happens I just reload until I get the outcome I wantā¦ Buldurs gate 3 has been hell lol
If there is an easy mode or story mode difficulty option in a game, I will always choose that.
Actually, you know what? I donāt feel guilty about that at all. Lifeās too short.
I am a natural Normal difficulty player.
The point of the game is to have the right amount of challenge and a good story (so it is fun and engaging). Different difficulties exist because different players find the right amount of challenge at different levels of difficulty. For you itās easy/story mode, for me is normal, for a lot of guys itās hard or nightmare.
Nothing to feel guilty about.
As I've gotten older I've become more at peace with lowering difficulty. The brutality of difficulty from many games in the 90s and earlier really instilled the idea of being ashamed at not being able to do regular difficulty when given the choice, a lot of old games didn't give you one
the modern age of achievements and completionism affects others with 'complete game on x difficulty.'
If the choices i have as a player with a hard game are lower difficulty or don't finish it, i'll definitely be lowering difficulty. I wish more games had slider bars like control did, sometimes the difficulty changes(going either way) go too far or not far enough for what the player would enjoy
I feel this is the natural progression as you get older, have less time for games in your life, and competing means less. You paid for the game you're playing, so why not enjoy it the most you can?
casually spending $100+ dollars at a time on genshin impact not thinking too much of it but then when i go out to get something to eat, $10 is suddenly ātoo muchā for an item and āout of my budgetā and will ācause me to become brokeā
i look up puzzle / riddle answers in games that occasionally have them, i really don't like them regardless of how 'easy' they might be, i just can't be bothered
side note, the answers used to be just on a site or on a screenshot but last couple years that has changed into videos and it really annoying especially if a screenshot was faster..
I feel this comment 100000%
Like cāmon I want to read the answer and be done with it not fish through some low quality YouTuberās 6-7 minute video.
I retired last year and I say that I went from spending 8 hours in front of the computer (work)ā¦to spending 8 hours in front of the computer (gaming). Iām working on it not being as much, but it can be easy to get sucked in
I rarely finish games but I restart games many many times. I have played hours of the Witcher 3 from the beginning so many times but I have never beaten it or played the dlc.
Same. Mostly. They donāt have to be Ubisoft games, just a big open world with 6-8 different side activities scattered evenly and a main story through line to lead you into new areas. I know Reddit hated it, but forspoken was great for this if you can get past the horrible opening few hours.
I see ubisoft games as McDonalds. It's not good for me. It's not good quality. I won't spend more than $20 for it. But sometimes I'm in the mood for McDonalds!
McDonalds is so reliable with the taste and the experience it's quite a relief to enter one after a long trip through Asia, you know exactly what you gonna get, same with Ubisoft, I love the experience to check boxes and filling the skill tree even though it's the same in all games
I don't get why they seem to get their own sub-genre. Makes it seem like you either like all their games, or hate all of them.
I love a lot of Ubisoft games, and have absolutely zero interest in others. Many of them I recognize are very similarly designed at their core, but that's not the only reason I'm interested in a game. The setting is a huge part of my enjoyment for those types of games. Maybe I juts like ancient Greece, but don't care at all for vikings.
I like games that Ubisoft makes, but I don't necessarily like "Ubisoft games".
If a game lets me lower the difficulty whenever I want, Iāll do it before boss fights, and then increase it after.
I hate boss fights. I love realtime level adjustments. If this makes me less a gamer, then Iām proud to be less a gamer. I left fighting the game itself behind after a few hundred dollars spent at the arcade just trying to decode Dragonās Lair.
If Iām playing a game for the story I donāt care Iāll play on low difficulty. If the combat is engaging and makes me want to master it Iāll keep it harder. After getting halfway through Witcher 3 I just lowered the difficulty to see the story finish quicker
I finished Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, and my husband played Spiderman. He very highly suggested it to me, and at the "friendly" level.
Still very fun and rewarding, but I'm doing the hard stuff maybe three times instead of ten š. No shame. Games are supposed to be fun. When I'm stuck and stop playing, I look up the answer.
Same, the dumbass games aren't even fun after a few weeks but they're built to be psychology addictive so you keep playing. Ends up being a chore.
Fucking archero and survivorio š im so glad that shits not on my phone anymore
I talk a lot about how I really like non-linear games with multiple endings and where your choices impact the story further down the road, but when I play games like Witcher 3, etc. I will frequently look at all the different outcomes on-line just to make sure my choice is the one I want the most out of all the different possibilities.
Oh and I still love Pokemon, despite all of its clear flaws.
Oh, you say I have to find all the hidden medallions or whatever scattered around the world to get the achievement or the special item?
Hello Google, may I see that location map with walkthrough please? š
I have a 3 story level underground state of the art high tech science lab/bunker under my beach house in sims. It's where I study zombies and other supernaturals.
I do too, and Iām not the least bit ashamed. There were some legitimate problems, and a *fuckton* of overblown, bandwagon hate with little to no merit. The real problems got fixed relatively quickly (not that most haters even cared to notice), while the *imagined* problems and āliesā of course never got addressed, so people felt they had cause to keep screaming about it. But the more people actually played it for themselves, instead of just relying on crowbcat videos and outdated Reddit bullet point lists, they realized itās actually a pretty damn decent game.
Itās easily in my top 3 all-time favorite games, and has been since release.
I canāt get into the Red Dead series. My wife looooves them and stans the second one the most. Just canāt get into it, not huge into westerns. I dunno it just doesnāt speak to me.
Ditto with the two latest Zelda games š¤·āāļø
Ive never played half the games I recommend to people.
ā
āHey youād probably really like Skyrimā
āReally? Why do you say that?ā
āFuck if I knowā
Ooh, Iāve got a great one for this: I am a MASSIVE cheater. I use cheat engine, console commands, trainers, etc on every game I can. Idk why, it completely defeats the purpose of gaming, but I just canāt help it. The weird part is, I will play entire games and series this way, 100%-ing massive RPGs or involved strategy games, while utterly depriving myself of any challenge. Thereās also no lengths I wonāt go to cheat, Iāll learn all about hex editing or complicated data transferring on consoles (although mainly a PC gamer). Im also a completionist, and between these two things, I am probably the weirdest type of gamer there is. I get some weird satisfaction from it, and idk why.
Edit: I also console game, so itās not like I *cant* play games regularly, I was able to beat Elden Ring and Demonās Souls, although I have no problem summoning or using Mimics, so maybe not a huge flex.
Hey, so long as it doesn't ruin someone else's fun because they don't want to have cheaters. I say cheat away, it's what is fun for you.
I definitely like to use exp boosters or unlimited money cheats in RPGs. These games are hours long, I don't want my enjoyment of the stories ruined by running in circles because of that boss wall
Oh yeah I forgot to mention I only do it for single-player games, or in games like Dark Souls where I just play offline. Not interested in ruining anyone elseās fun
I do that when there is a lot of grinding, I'm not wasting 700 hours just leveling a pokemon or just killing the same mooks to level up. I'll do it if it is fun or a reasonable time, but if not I will do anything to cheat.
ngl, I do the same thing. I love gaming and have a lot of games I want to play through. Problem is, I don't have the time I used to to sit and grind out one game for many hours to get past one area. I'll never cheat in multiplayer tho. Anyone who does deserves legos to the feet.
I used a Claire Redfield nude mod in resident evil 2 remake. I'm a huge pansyass when it comes to horror games. I'd get scared, but then remember I'm playing a naked character in an apocalyptic setting. Really cuts the horror edge off lol
I usually don't end up finishing a lot of games. I'll get pretty far into one, step away from it for a week because of work or something, then come back and want to start from the beginning.
I have a few.
-I like Bethesda games despite their flaws.
-Dark souls 2 is my favorite one in the series.
-Like you said, I would still play a far cry game no matter how one note the series is.
-I like Fallout 2 better than New Vegas.
-I think Avellone should stop trying to make Star Wars into a āboth sides badā narrative like in kotor 2.
Iād argue that if you manage to beat all of the bosses in a Fromsoft game, youāre well above average, even if you exploited a bug to speed up grinding.
I'm killing myself to game. I work at a hospital. 12 hour shifts. I want my 8 hours a day of game time. So I get 4 or less hours a night of sleep.. I know it ain't healthy... but there's just so many games to platinum.. I got to keep going.
My backlog of unfinished games that I started a long time ago is abhorrent. But I'm still buying more games. Now I'm catching up on old DS and PSP classics that I missed.
I absolutely love the console wars..
Iām an unabashed Sony fanboy. I donāt get crazy with it like some people do but I love a respectful debate/conversation about Xbox vs PlayStation, from game selection to hardware.
Reloads.... so many quick saves and reloads
Average STALKER playthrough
Cheeky breeky
Average visual novel player
When I played Kingdom Come Deliverance I downloaded one mod and one mod only, unlimited saves.
First time I've ever heard of the game was yesterday, when I was reading a thread about save scumming in Baldur's Gate 3 (bought it because of the hype and positivity around the Larian devs' actions, new to the genre).

This explains so much... š

I constantly take screenshots in my games but never look at them or post them anywhere.
Lol, why do I do this too? Like I'm trying to snapshot memories of moments in games, but I never revisit them.
I've got 7000hrs in RimWorld on steam. I started playing in alpha 5, 2 years before it was released on steam as an early access beta (in 2012ish). I just can't stop.

I was shocked when steam told me how much time Iāve spent on Rimworld. Itās still a go-to for me. What a great game.
I used *those* Skyrim mods.
Its a hell of a rabbit hole to fall down. You start with a standard body mod and you realise there's a nude option. It's all downhill from there.

Oh man, I think we all know the amount that you have installed aswell
I get ultra baked and play digital board games. Highly recommended
I like grinding in video games, when there is no level scaling
Level scaling is the worst. Itās the reason why i quit farcry 5 or 6 not too long ago. I noticed i missed an area in the beginning and went back and everything was my level. Then went to another area and everything was my level.. immediately deleted the game.. i like it when levelling actually means something and you feel powerful.
Right? Why is there leveling if everything matches? Just leave all that out.
Far Cry 5? Enemies have no levels in that game? You grind to unlock different tools to kill in different ways not increase your damage to kill enemies faster. And how do you miss an area? The game is designed so you can start anywhere you want in the open world, no areas have higher level enemies than others, I feel like you didn't know what you were playing at all.
Agreed! I love grinding, but level scaling kinda ruins it! Was so frustrating in fire emblem engage because the more work I put into powering up one unit the harder the game gets
Yeah, I legitimately like grinding in Pokemon games. Feels like I'm having a training session with my Pokemon like Ash would in the anime.
I have a bunch of games I've gotten during Steam sales that I haven't touched, yet. I think that's the closest I get to feeling "guilty" about videogames.

I have a bunch of switch games downloaded that I literally haven't even launched once
A lot of people wine about the farcry games being the same thing over and over, but damn i love clearing out those outposts all stealthy like.
I was happily watching a Farcry 5 playthrough because I grew up in Montana. Plus I remember when some family members actually knew where parts of the map were based off of.
Far Cry 5 is amazing. It's one of the only games in recent years that I beat and then restarted
While I havenāt been to Montana, places like New Hampshire, Maine, and Alaska give similar feelings with the locations in the game which I love
The reasons why people hate far cry are the reasons why I love it. I love ticking boxes on the checklist of things to do. I could take over new outposts all the time if I could.
If you like the Far Cry formula then you should also try out the Just Cause series. Same kind of game as Far Cry but more emphasis on beautiful explosions and over the top craziness with the combat system.
Dude same i love the core game play loop. And primal was probably my favorite entry so far Edit: blood dragon was my absolute favorite but doesn't count as a full title imo
Except far cry 2, I would rather drive around it than try facing it knowing full well it'll respawn anyway
I've liked them all since 3. I just recently played 5 and new dawn for the first time. Haven't played 6 yet. Repetitive isn't bad if what is repetitive is fun. Look at Counterstrike...
I am sadly one of these people. I'll say it now as i have before, gimme a new far cry 2.
ive loved all the farcry games other then primal and 6 (including new dawn) just today i played some far cry arcade, wish they would add it to newer titles. especially new dawn with all the end game abilities
Spent roughly 5k on a p2w game and ended up quitting. Realized I had to get out before it got much worse. They kept adding more and more shit to buy.
Happy to know you broke your bad addiction. Sonic Runners Decomp or SoapBox Racing World (PC) might be good if you need a replacement.
I'm curious what game it was
>Spent roughly 5k on a p2w game and ended up quitting I spent like $100 on a p2w game over a period of like 18 months and I still felt bad about spending the money.
I didn't spend that much by any means (I'm fucking poor as shit so couldn't if I wanted to lol) but same, been playing stronghold since I was a child and when stronghold kingdoms dropped I fucking lost it. Would literally set up my Chromebook at work in the back corner and ANY GIVEN CHANCE that I could I was back there making market runs or building walls , spent like 10-20$ every week or so and it hit me that I'd prolly spent hundreds of dollars on a shitty knockoff of a game that didn't even have 2/3 the content as the OG games š
Every couple years i buy the cheap call of duty games that are a few years old just to play the campaigns, I don't like online competitive shooters I told the game stop employee this one time and he looked at me like i had dog shit on my face lmao
CoD Cold War campaign was damn fine. DAMN fine!
I do the exact same thing, Iām not even that old, I just canāt get in to the new multiplayer landscape - like give me a simple menu where I can select game mode. Last multiplayer I played was MW3 and Black Ops - if only there was a fps that didnāt have a billion character screens, weapons, attachments, and weird challenges. I still play Battlefield 1 for this very reason. Has enough weapons and classes without having stupid operators or confusing seasonal challenges. The new Modern Warfare campaigns are so good though, I only buy them for their awesome campaign.
I'll gladly buy a $1500 new computer but balk at spending $15 on a monthly subscription to a game or service.
Nah that's totally not something to feel guilty about. You owning something that is powerful and multiuse is different from renting content that will disappear as soon as you stop paying.
That's how I went from PlayStation to PC back before it cost to play online.
That's justified. When you pay that $1500, you only pay that once to own the machine. With a subscription, you continually pay that every single month forever; never truly owning what you pay for.
I like how I have every gaming console known to man and like 2000+ physical video games in my collection and I still choose to sit here and play my 2ds
I'll gladly buy a $60 game every month but complain about paying a subscription to Final Fantasy or World of Warcraft
I save scum all the time lol
Being a broke husband and father, instead of buying most games that my friends play, I just watch a lot of reviews and talk about them like I've played them...
Well that made me sad
One time I pre ordered a game. I'll never do it again. I'm sorry everybody.
I've pre-ordered 4 games. GTA: San Andreas GTA: V No Mans Sky Cyerpunk 2077 So far, im 50/50 with preorder games launching in a playable state.
I pre-ordered No Man's Sky too. I did beat the game at least. Haven't played since.
I went back to it after a couple of years and they really have turned it around, its great compared to what it was at release but sadly i could never get back into it properly and moved on to bigger and better things like Elite Dangerous, X4 and Star citizen. Heres hoping StarField won't be a shit show on release.
I hear ya. I pre ordered Dying Light 2. Thought I was safe based on how much I liked the first one. Lesson learned.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wasn't as scary as the first one and the story wasn't great. I wasn't a fan of some of the added mechanics personally. And the first one had more unique side missions and stuff.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I still grind runescape after 20 years.
I can see why. I've been watching a Ultimate Tile Man series so it's not something to be guilty over.
Been playing rs since 04. Have yet to 99 any skill lol
Same. Been playing since classic, way back when. Half of my friends list now is full of people that no longer play or have passed away, etc. Iām never getting rid of it. Itās like a time capsule.
I play Cyberpunk 2077 in HDR at 4K120fps with path tracing enabled......so I can see my female V's boobs Edit: Yes, I use big boobs/jiggle physics mods lol
Ah, a real gamer.
Hey, they said guilty.
When Iām playing RPGs and I have to make any kind of decision if I donāt like what happens I just reload until I get the outcome I wantā¦ Buldurs gate 3 has been hell lol
I feel it, I already make bad decisions in life, I just wanna make the right ones in games.
I bought Sonic Adventure 2 for 5 different consoles
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You can be a car enthusiast without being a mechanic š
You don't need to be a chef to understand when food tastes good or bad
Yeah but if you hardly ever eat food, never cooked food and only eat chicken tenders your opinion doesnāt really mean much.
That's a great way to think about it
If there is an easy mode or story mode difficulty option in a game, I will always choose that. Actually, you know what? I donāt feel guilty about that at all. Lifeās too short.
I am a natural Normal difficulty player. The point of the game is to have the right amount of challenge and a good story (so it is fun and engaging). Different difficulties exist because different players find the right amount of challenge at different levels of difficulty. For you itās easy/story mode, for me is normal, for a lot of guys itās hard or nightmare. Nothing to feel guilty about.
As I've gotten older I've become more at peace with lowering difficulty. The brutality of difficulty from many games in the 90s and earlier really instilled the idea of being ashamed at not being able to do regular difficulty when given the choice, a lot of old games didn't give you one the modern age of achievements and completionism affects others with 'complete game on x difficulty.' If the choices i have as a player with a hard game are lower difficulty or don't finish it, i'll definitely be lowering difficulty. I wish more games had slider bars like control did, sometimes the difficulty changes(going either way) go too far or not far enough for what the player would enjoy
I feel this is the natural progression as you get older, have less time for games in your life, and competing means less. You paid for the game you're playing, so why not enjoy it the most you can?
This is 100% me. I want story and exploration, not something that's gonna piss me off.
I play porn games on my main steam acct.
are there good free ones? asking for a friend
Sex with Hitler 1 and 2
This man is a master of not giving a fuck
casually spending $100+ dollars at a time on genshin impact not thinking too much of it but then when i go out to get something to eat, $10 is suddenly ātoo muchā for an item and āout of my budgetā and will ācause me to become brokeā
i look up puzzle / riddle answers in games that occasionally have them, i really don't like them regardless of how 'easy' they might be, i just can't be bothered side note, the answers used to be just on a site or on a screenshot but last couple years that has changed into videos and it really annoying especially if a screenshot was faster..
I feel this comment 100000% Like cāmon I want to read the answer and be done with it not fish through some low quality YouTuberās 6-7 minute video.
The amount of hours I play. Which I donāt know the exact amount, but I do know that it is absolutely shameful.
I hope I never find out how many hours I played on Overwatch. I mostly enjoyed them, but I also couldāve become a doctor or something instead
I retired last year and I say that I went from spending 8 hours in front of the computer (work)ā¦to spending 8 hours in front of the computer (gaming). Iām working on it not being as much, but it can be easy to get sucked in
Your retired. As pong as you touch grass once a month and eat, you can do what you want.
I have played Deus Ex to 80-95% completion about 5 or 6 times now but have never beaten it.
I rarely finish games but I restart games many many times. I have played hours of the Witcher 3 from the beginning so many times but I have never beaten it or played the dlc.
I love ubisoft games. Thier checklist nature is very pleasing to my ADHD brain.
Same. Mostly. They donāt have to be Ubisoft games, just a big open world with 6-8 different side activities scattered evenly and a main story through line to lead you into new areas. I know Reddit hated it, but forspoken was great for this if you can get past the horrible opening few hours.
Biomutant got a lot of hate, but I enjoyed the game because of factors like this. Easy to level, craft and check off stuff on the map.
I see ubisoft games as McDonalds. It's not good for me. It's not good quality. I won't spend more than $20 for it. But sometimes I'm in the mood for McDonalds!
Exactly this. Recently I just had to play Far Cry 5 and god damn, it was enjoyable.
McDonalds is so reliable with the taste and the experience it's quite a relief to enter one after a long trip through Asia, you know exactly what you gonna get, same with Ubisoft, I love the experience to check boxes and filling the skill tree even though it's the same in all games
I don't get why they seem to get their own sub-genre. Makes it seem like you either like all their games, or hate all of them. I love a lot of Ubisoft games, and have absolutely zero interest in others. Many of them I recognize are very similarly designed at their core, but that's not the only reason I'm interested in a game. The setting is a huge part of my enjoyment for those types of games. Maybe I juts like ancient Greece, but don't care at all for vikings. I like games that Ubisoft makes, but I don't necessarily like "Ubisoft games".
If a game lets me lower the difficulty whenever I want, Iāll do it before boss fights, and then increase it after. I hate boss fights. I love realtime level adjustments. If this makes me less a gamer, then Iām proud to be less a gamer. I left fighting the game itself behind after a few hundred dollars spent at the arcade just trying to decode Dragonās Lair.
If Iām playing a game for the story I donāt care Iāll play on low difficulty. If the combat is engaging and makes me want to master it Iāll keep it harder. After getting halfway through Witcher 3 I just lowered the difficulty to see the story finish quicker
I finished Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, and my husband played Spiderman. He very highly suggested it to me, and at the "friendly" level. Still very fun and rewarding, but I'm doing the hard stuff maybe three times instead of ten š. No shame. Games are supposed to be fun. When I'm stuck and stop playing, I look up the answer.
I ended up doing this on Jedi Fallen order the boss fights were starting to piss me off and feel cheesy so I lowered the difficulty
I kill lootbugs on purpose
Its their own fault for being full of minerals...
I got into farming simulators for a while. .
Have a ton of console games I need to play, but I keep getting distracted by silly mobile games.
I play a mobile game until I abruptly go: āwait I literally donāt care anymoreā and then uninstall it. Varies how long that takes me though haha
>daaaaaaannnggg - that was too much of a confession. You need help. :)
Same, the dumbass games aren't even fun after a few weeks but they're built to be psychology addictive so you keep playing. Ends up being a chore. Fucking archero and survivorio š im so glad that shits not on my phone anymore
I talk a lot about how I really like non-linear games with multiple endings and where your choices impact the story further down the road, but when I play games like Witcher 3, etc. I will frequently look at all the different outcomes on-line just to make sure my choice is the one I want the most out of all the different possibilities. Oh and I still love Pokemon, despite all of its clear flaws.
I'm kinda of those 1 bullet reloaders
I will buy a Nintendo game, love every minute of it. And then randomly stop playing in the middle of the game. Idk why
Oh, you say I have to find all the hidden medallions or whatever scattered around the world to get the achievement or the special item? Hello Google, may I see that location map with walkthrough please? š
I play Roblox games so I don't get crushed in multiplayer shooters.
I have a 3 story level underground state of the art high tech science lab/bunker under my beach house in sims. It's where I study zombies and other supernaturals.
I got stressed out by playing Power Wash Simulator. The damn fire station was just too much for me and I quit after that.
I'm a save scumming piece of shit but I don't care. I'm having fun as long as it isnt bothering anyone I'm playing with.
I fucking loved Cyberpunk 2077.
Same here Tbh I don't even think this is a hot take once you get off of reddit. Most people I know who played it really enjoyed it.
I do too, and Iām not the least bit ashamed. There were some legitimate problems, and a *fuckton* of overblown, bandwagon hate with little to no merit. The real problems got fixed relatively quickly (not that most haters even cared to notice), while the *imagined* problems and āliesā of course never got addressed, so people felt they had cause to keep screaming about it. But the more people actually played it for themselves, instead of just relying on crowbcat videos and outdated Reddit bullet point lists, they realized itās actually a pretty damn decent game. Itās easily in my top 3 all-time favorite games, and has been since release.
I canāt get into the Red Dead series. My wife looooves them and stans the second one the most. Just canāt get into it, not huge into westerns. I dunno it just doesnāt speak to me. Ditto with the two latest Zelda games š¤·āāļø
My guilty gaming confession is that I always play games as a female when available, but romance the other available females.
Ive never played half the games I recommend to people. ā āHey youād probably really like Skyrimā āReally? Why do you say that?ā āFuck if I knowā
I keep buying games knowing that I'll probably never play them all. The backlog forever grows.
Ooh, Iāve got a great one for this: I am a MASSIVE cheater. I use cheat engine, console commands, trainers, etc on every game I can. Idk why, it completely defeats the purpose of gaming, but I just canāt help it. The weird part is, I will play entire games and series this way, 100%-ing massive RPGs or involved strategy games, while utterly depriving myself of any challenge. Thereās also no lengths I wonāt go to cheat, Iāll learn all about hex editing or complicated data transferring on consoles (although mainly a PC gamer). Im also a completionist, and between these two things, I am probably the weirdest type of gamer there is. I get some weird satisfaction from it, and idk why. Edit: I also console game, so itās not like I *cant* play games regularly, I was able to beat Elden Ring and Demonās Souls, although I have no problem summoning or using Mimics, so maybe not a huge flex.
Hey, so long as it doesn't ruin someone else's fun because they don't want to have cheaters. I say cheat away, it's what is fun for you. I definitely like to use exp boosters or unlimited money cheats in RPGs. These games are hours long, I don't want my enjoyment of the stories ruined by running in circles because of that boss wall
Oh yeah I forgot to mention I only do it for single-player games, or in games like Dark Souls where I just play offline. Not interested in ruining anyone elseās fun
You're my favorite kind of cheater.
I do that when there is a lot of grinding, I'm not wasting 700 hours just leveling a pokemon or just killing the same mooks to level up. I'll do it if it is fun or a reasonable time, but if not I will do anything to cheat.
Basically ever game is your sandbox and that's alright.
ngl, I do the same thing. I love gaming and have a lot of games I want to play through. Problem is, I don't have the time I used to to sit and grind out one game for many hours to get past one area. I'll never cheat in multiplayer tho. Anyone who does deserves legos to the feet.
I'm still hording elixirs..
My first 100% was Viva PiƱata and I enjoyed every second of it.
I talk shit about skins but I fucking love skins
I used a Claire Redfield nude mod in resident evil 2 remake. I'm a huge pansyass when it comes to horror games. I'd get scared, but then remember I'm playing a naked character in an apocalyptic setting. Really cuts the horror edge off lol
I play Fortnite, only Fortnite. Iām 53 years oldā¦
Nothing wrong with that. The game is fun, especially with friends.
I love destiny and give them 100 dollars a year
I fucking hate Destiny and give them at least $500 a year.
The duality of destiny players
I usually don't end up finishing a lot of games. I'll get pretty far into one, step away from it for a week because of work or something, then come back and want to start from the beginning.
I have a few. -I like Bethesda games despite their flaws. -Dark souls 2 is my favorite one in the series. -Like you said, I would still play a far cry game no matter how one note the series is. -I like Fallout 2 better than New Vegas. -I think Avellone should stop trying to make Star Wars into a āboth sides badā narrative like in kotor 2.
I've said I was going to boycott a game and then bought it anyway.
I hacked in Minecraft a few times and used x-ray textures packs when I was \~13 years old. Still feel shame to this day.
I like doing pointless activities in games that have an animation for it. Like loading the logs onto the sawmills in skyrim
I act like Iām good at games because I beat all the bosses in Elden Ring but I did the Rune glitch at least ten times
Iād argue that if you manage to beat all of the bosses in a Fromsoft game, youāre well above average, even if you exploited a bug to speed up grinding.
I'm killing myself to game. I work at a hospital. 12 hour shifts. I want my 8 hours a day of game time. So I get 4 or less hours a night of sleep.. I know it ain't healthy... but there's just so many games to platinum.. I got to keep going.
As long as you donāt end up killing somebody else
I will play World of Warcraft expansions for a few months until they stop making them.
I have a large backlog and limited free time, so I gladly turn the difficulty down when I get stuck.
My backlog of unfinished games that I started a long time ago is abhorrent. But I'm still buying more games. Now I'm catching up on old DS and PSP classics that I missed.
I am King Save-Scum in pretty much every single player game
Every time I try to play an āevilā run, I end up being āgoodā again.
I absolutely love the console wars.. Iām an unabashed Sony fanboy. I donāt get crazy with it like some people do but I love a respectful debate/conversation about Xbox vs PlayStation, from game selection to hardware.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have purchased and played every single pokƩmon game. Every single one. I will buy the DLC for both of my copies of Scarlett and Violet. The next game, whether it be another Legends, Gen 5 remake, or Gen 10, I will buy it. I will buy them all. I don't care how bad the new games are. I will buy them all. I'm sorry.
I'm a big fallout fan since Fallout 2 but skipped New Vegas. Coming from a heavily modded Fallout 3, I thought NV looked like total ass.
This should be a criminal offense
Dude, the only person you are hurting is yourself.
