except they’re on console

Mine is all farming/sim/tower defense. Because I no longer play (have the visual acuity for) fps I’ve heard I’m not a real gamer.
Until Dawn catching strays
My eye immediately went to Until Dawn & Detroit: Become Human, and I was like "Wait! Both these are dope!"
I really like Butterfly Effect decision games.
I didn't play Detroit for so long because I expected it to be like most other interactive movie type games where you maybe make 3 total decisions that actually have an effect on the whole story. Checked it out on PS+ and still felt that way up until I finished the first level and it shows the fucking massive decision tree of all the possible choices you could have made in that segment and was blown away. Hella them I didn't even notice were viable things I could have tried.
This is what these kinds of games should be. It's fucking amazing. It actually gives replayability to something that, in the past, was more of a one and done deal.
Bruh, yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm actually getting ready to replay D:BH again because the last time I played was about 1.5+ years ago, and I think I've finally forgotten all my decisions. My husband said I got one of the best endings he's ever seen someone get, and I really didn't want to be tempted to answer everything the same. There's SO MANY ways that game can go/end, and I want to explore them all!
I made the mistake of playing Until Dawn first, then D:BH, and then I downloaded the Dark Pictures Anthology and played 2 out of the 4 of those. I'm sure those would have hit different had I played them first, but knowing that the ending is ultimately the same no matter which direction you go definitely ruins the replayability. All 4 run into the very issue you were worried about with Detroit.
Fifa 25, Fifa 24, Fifa 23, etc
I know a guy who owns every single FIFA game form 96 on the PSX all the way to 23 on the PS5, gotta admit it's an impressive collection
That doesn't look like a gaming laptop, either. $20 says it has integrated graphics.
Reminds me of the "gaming laptops" at Walmart. The other day I saw a RoG laptop being sold with an AMD 740M, a integrated GPU from 2023 with performance from 2010. They dressed it up all pretty with RGB and a 144hz display to make it look like it could actually run games, and then had the nerve to charge $699 for it.
I hate shit like this so much cause people who don't know any better will buy this thing, get 15 FPS in modern titles and think that PC gaming sucks, when it's just their computer that sucks.
Except I'm pretty sure thats shopped on there. It has a weird border around it and the entire steam app has a different pixel density than the rest of the photo.
The idea that this same person would actually play something with as much soul as Until Dawn is pretty unbelievable. Can you believe they have like, emotions and crap? Plus just so much talking, I mean come on. They don’t even have a BattlePass!
Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.
I used to draw a lot back then. My loss of interest for games gradually made me go back to drawing and I am fine with it, it is nearly a decade I have not drawn until I decided to work on something yesterday on a paper. Did my first dedicated drawing yesterday and I am planning to do more in the next weeks 🙂.
I still play games sometimes though (warframe, minecraft, worldox) but again just for a few minutes and rarely an hour or more.
Hey, that wasn't mean at all! I don't believe you are a mean cow.
For me, it's a lack of friends to play games I like with
i get that but it might not be the games fault dawg
What’s your relationship with social media, or cannabis? Do you scroll short form media? Do you post lots of comments on Lemmy/reddit?
If none of those are an issue, then maybe you just got older.
I do not use drugs. I do not scroll short form media because it irritates me too 😅. Social media use is occasional.
Maybe it's just the type of games you play that you've lost interest in. Steam has lots of demos for games from just about every gaming genre, so maybe try out demos for highly rated games of genres you don't normally play. You may end up surprising yourself. Maybe you do like cosy games, or real time strategy, or management simulations, etc, but because you've never tried them, you never realized that you like them.
How have I never heard of the Detroit game?
I mean I'm also guilty of playing like the same 5 games, haven't moved on since like 2023
alternatively, own hundreds of games and play none of them
Kinda same but mostly because no time. I've yet to finish Elden Ring and BG3 so I'm still playing those when I get a moment.
Me grinding 2003 games 👋
Someone being smart with their money by not wasting it on products they won't play
G*mers:"The fuck kind of bullshit is this"
No they just have bad taste.
I so much wait for the next game from Quantic Dream. Detroit is one of my all time favourites. There was no better visual novel yet.
Vermintide 2 is/was free on steam yesterday
I claimed it myself and played through act 1
Is it good? I am yet to try it
If you like Left 4 Dead, you'd probably like Vermintide. It's basicslly the same thing. A little more varied in missions, tho, since you do more than just run to a safe room.
Pretty much what Kolanaki said. It's just you and some teammates carving your way through ratmen and undead hordes, but it is fun for that kind of "just want to get in and play some rounds" without having to deal with a ton of story or plot. Especially if you're looking for something medieval/fantasy themed.
Altho CoD and GTA are my main games I still play other things and I have like, 251 games on my Steam account, and countless others outside of it... Like, you do not need to restrict yourself to only yearly release triple A stuff... Those games get boring eventually.
Rogue-likes killed indie game development on the opposite side of this spectrum.
what do you mean?
Because there's a boom of Roguelite games and assumedly they don't like it. For my part I love how many options and different spins on the genre/idea there are.
