Why aren’t games fun anymore? I turned 30 and lost all interest.
Play Battle Garegga
>>720784054This or Armed(armored) police batrider
>>720784013Damn. Sucks to be you man.
>>720784013You need purpose in your life alongside the video games
>>720784054And play like this
>>720784310thats mushihimesama thoughever
>>720784247No places will hire me. I’m justed
>>720784013skill issue
>>720784013Because you have better things to worry about other than just playing videogames, becoming 30 has nothing to do with it.
>>720784247I have no purpose and am I complete failure. I have just as much fun as ever. People like op just spend their days playing garbage and probably never liked games to begin with. I'm sure if he shared what he is playing, it would be the safest, most mind numbing sludge around.
>>720784054>>720784139This. The bat series fucking ruleshttps://youtu.be/Szr0TSXcWok
>>720784013as you get older you get more specific in what you like
>>720784013I turn 29 this month and I still love video games, old and new.>>720784054Batrider & Dimahoo are better
>>720784013You're playing the wrong games. Try branching out.
>>720784342You think Garegga is better?
>>720784013Because you should have stopped playing video games by your early 20s. By 30 you should have already had a house and family. You don't want to be one of those soijaks you see posted on here talking about the latest shit they wasted money on, do you?
>>720784139KEEPING MY KNEES IN THE BREEZE
>>720785323How am I supposed to get those things when no one will hire me? This job market is horrendous. The intense heat saps my strength. I’m so exhausted. Trying to cut porn out of my life so I can have more energy.
>>720784445I play older Mario games, resident evil 1-4 and puzzle games.
>>720785604When you say older mario games, do you like speedrun them and play kaizo romhacks and stuff or are you literally just passively playing a child's game over and over
>>720785604That's not too bad. It could be worse. Do you have an arcade stick?
I feel the opposite actuallySo many games I wanna play but not enough time amongst other things to do
>>720784013you need to get over that there's more in life, because there's isn't.
>>720786451>you need to get over that there's more in life, because there's isn't.I agree, and he would know there's nothing else if he had any self-awareness. Sadly, everyone on this website is some two digit IQ sub-human so they can't see how stupid it is to>stop playing video games>post on 4chan insteadBy doing the second, it's an admittance that there's nothing else. It's a choice between A or B. Is B better than A? Absolutely not, but you would think so if you were stupid, like OP is stupid.
>>720786686I'll be on the catalog setting up filters now. I can only hope the sub-humans are posting a lot in the filtered section of the board. Page 5 in 4 minutes, which is indicative of shitskin NPC spam in the filtered section. Just 4chan in 2025 things.
>>720784013Growing up? Losing attention span?
>>720785756Kaizo hacks; they’re probably too hard and I burned through Silksong being a no lifer which didn’t help.
>>720785156Mushi doesn't have a retarded esoteric rank system
>>720784013I'm at the point where I'm replaying a bunch of shit instead of starting new games. I had a goal to beat 10 games this year and I'm at 31 now, so I'm taking it easy the rest of the year.
>>720787169I only sampled Garegga and I really liked the music. I chose Mushi because I liked the art. I'm sticking with it until I get the 1CC. Garegga's ranking system seems like it boils down to doing pacifist runs for survival, which is a concept I really like
Must be a (you) issue, i turned 36 today and not only do I still love playing games, I'm making them. Maybe you never liked gaming in the first place.
I was playing fortnite today and I hit a guy in a random old ass cartoon skin (futuroma maybe?) from across the map and I had to pause for a moment. A tear welled up in my eye and I thought about charlie. He was just like me. This was the first time playing video games in a week. It might be my last time ever. I don't know if I can do something so frivolous in a world that hates me.
>>720787643how do you honestly deny the reality that all artistic and entertainment mediums are in a sharp decline in quality? are you just from reddit? are you still playing 20-35 year old games?as time goes by, everyone gets dumber, corporations get greedier, developers are bought and sold out. the west is a gigantic sea of shit that you have to swim through tirelessly to rarely ever find a pearl, enjoy it for a short moment and then go back to endlessly wading through shit. whats the fucking point?
>>720787940If there's no point, then why do you post? Reply after the hide and keep in mind most of the board is auto filtered.
>>720787169But lots of games use rank. Even daioujou uses rank and you reset it with bombs. And in every game with recovery sometimes it's better to just die on purpose when there's a power up coming up to refill your bombs. It's really not that unusual. And additionally, mushi, despite being a pretty good game, doesn't have very interesting scoring mechanics.
you are all fucking addicts you retards. anhedonia is a common complaint of drug and gambling addicts. stop playing vidya 10 hours a day
>>720784013After you turn 30 the game genres you like get randomized. I used to like story rich games and now I like job simulators. It's just the way it is.
>>720787940NTA, but look, I understand that the whole world is filled with a lot of negativity, and I do agree that media overall has been getting worse, but if you keep focusing on the bad things every single day when there are still a lot of good games out there, then you will never get out of that ditch and you will remain stuck in that endless cycle. I'm damn sure that there are many genres and series out there you haven't even touched, you could start there.
>>720788356I went from platformers and Metroidvanias and open-world AAA games to puzzle and story games. My tastes didn't change much between 30 and 40, though.
>>720784054Don't start with Garegga if you're new to shmups
>>720788181YWNBAW
I'm 37 and I still play Total Warhammer every goddamn day. I'm addicted to this game.
>>720788801what mods you running? do you like warhammer in general?
>>720788851None and yes
>>720784013Probably because all you do is play video games instead of socializing or doing other hobbies.
>>720784013Stop playing adventure games, dumbass. Play a video game that acts like a Rubik's cube or fidget spinner, or whatever that can be completed in less than an hour. If you want an open world game that much, play something like modded stalker, where you keep getting enemies, even in your base
>>720784013It's not you, it's just that there hasn't been good games since year 2005.
>>720789019Why are you making such wild leaps? Nothing he said indicated any of that
alcohol brother, gin is the quickest and cleanest way to get drunk that isnt vodka
>>720784013Maybe stop posting on a subreddit for bitter losers and find joy in your life.
>>720788545ive been finding hobbies that have nothing to do with art or entertainment media because its literally just all shit. unless im the one making it of course. for example i bought an electric skateboard made by chinks and its one of the most cutting edge, cost effective and high quality products i have ever owned and changed my life. western civilization is just garbage and my biggest motivation in life is getting the fuck outthe last worthwhile america made product i bought was a musical instrument over 10 years ago which is now outclassed by cheaper stuff produced in china. we produce fucking nothing of value. even the services we provide to each other are shit. our culture is shit. everything is shit. and if you disagree you are the embodiment of reddit>>720788356you wouldnt play a job simulator if you had a job that was challenging, or gave you a reason to do your best at it
>>720788181>And additionally, mushi, despite being a pretty good game, doesn't have very interesting scoring mechanics.That's part of what makes it attractive to beginners. And the difficulty is quite tame on original mode (at least for me as I've only gotten to stage 4 so far)
>>720789093Gin fucking sucks, drink whiskey
>>720784013You're probably depressed or something.
>>720784013Maybe you need to switch genres or just experiment more. I've played more games in the last two years than I did in the previous 8. I don't finish any of them but there is so much to try. I'm older than u>>720784638I guess I'm like the opposite of this guy, at least when it comes to games
>>720789131>my biggest motivation in life is getting the fuck out>the last worthwhile america made product i bought was a musical instrument over 10 years ago which is now outclassed by cheaper stuff produced in china. we produce fucking nothing of value. even the services we provide to each other are shit. our culture is shit. everything is shit. and if you disagree you are the embodiment of redditI'm moving from NYC to India in 14 days. I worked here for a few months and I should have enough to last me a couple of years at least (I'm white btw)
>>720789219I'm depressed, and I'm telling you that OP is stupid and not depressed. This is what real depression looks like. Depression is not having anything in common with anyone. For a stupid person, that wouldn't be a problem.
>>720789197What I like about mushi is that it drills routing into beginners, and if you're playing normal original you're gunna find that out real soon.
>>720789209for alcoholism purposes gin is more efficient, I was drinking whiskey for years and the hang overs became too much
>>720789131>and if you disagree you are the embodiment of redditWhy do you refuse to have your arguments to be challenged? Let alone by just calling others "reddit"? You have made it clear that it's worthless trying to have an open discussion with you, so I can only wish you good luck on your endeavors and hope that you will find something fulfilling enough to stop making you be such a miserable individual.
>>720789442it was just some harmless banter
>>720789437It's been interesting choosing between trace and formation. The game probably gets a lot more interesting when you learn all of the shot types. I only use s for now
>>720789571I would stick with S and switch to trace on stage 4. You need trace on stage 5 in original. It's very insane without it.
>>720784013PS1 had tons of good games. PS2 had many good games. PS3 had some good games. PS4 had a few good games. PS5 had One good game. That is why you are bored of them. Just play old stuff, who cares if the puddles aren't as shiny.
>>720789071>I turned 30I keep seeing people around that age complain about losing interest in games, but the games they’re playing are basically turds and time wasters, like witcher, dark souls, silksong, or whatever adventure crapIt's just like when motorcyclists keep complaining about getting pulled over, even though all they did was break the traffic law
>>720784013you have access to like 50 years of gamesplay good games, stop playing shit retard
>>720789671Ps2>4>3>5>1 in terms of amount of good games
>>720789658Thanks anon. Is the difficulty jump from original to maniac/ultra drastic? After I beat original i haven't decided if i want to try to beat maniac or try a different game
>>720789736Sometimes I feel that people have just been heavily gaslighted by the boomer memes into actually believing that their entire life changes as soon as they turn 30.
>>720789830Your order is respectable except for 5>1. PS5 is nothing but PS4 ports and movie games. There isn't a single original PS5 title that is on par with any top 50 PS1 game.
>>720789914The routing is very similar. While I was relearning mushi original I tried arranged and got to stage 5 on my first try. Its just a lot more micro dodging big clouds of slower bullets. The final boss is the real aids. You're free to try it but I'd put it on the back burner and try some other games honestly.
>>7207900375 has all the current gen multiplats and you can't write that off as nothing. It doesnt need to have exclusives when it has ample non-exclusives that are better than dated psx garbage. Only ps1 game i want to play is the original crash bandicoot
there's really nothing at the moment that hits like Counter Strike or Quake. I don't play much Counter Strike because it's got too many cheaters.
>>720784013For me I just figure them out too fast, too much prior knowledge from other games means the discovery and skill building phase is short. Anything novel does not feel that way for very long and it's hard to enjoy something you already understand within 15 minutes of playing.Only way I've found to mitigate this is finding truly weird ass experiences, IE La Mulana. Very few games in this category that are actually interesting, unfortunately.
>>720790325Sounds like garegga is for you.
>>720790325Try any of these. You'll change your tune
>>720790325challenge yourself to retry games/genres that were not your cup of tea. I could never get into RTS even with the above advice, but I found a niche in factory/automation games
>>720784013Why are you 30 years old and still in 4chan?
>>720790853>shootem ups, rhythm autism, and god handdefinitely not the troon starter pack
>>720784013Me and my gf and the bois play tabletop games on tabletop simulator a lot. Especially Diplomacy. Very addictive. We used to play DnD and White Wolf games, but scheduling is hard when people are across timezones.
>>720791215this is a boomer website
>>720791336These games will detransition any troon
>>720784013Men supposed to be making millions and have at 1 child by the age of 30, if you failed in achieving this then good luck because now you're fucked and live a miserable life
Part of it is that you're playing easy games. Play some games with randomness (like poker or crit chances) and then tell me how you feel about games.
>>720785323Lots of dudes with kids plays on their free time you archaic boomer piece of shit
Im making my own. It is like Minecraft or one of those build a bear games but I get to be a turbo autistic faggot with every little detail.
>>720784013The closer I get to 30, the less interested I am in playing multiplayer games. I find myself enjoying single player games with great stories.
>>720784013The trick is to play games which are good instead of games which are not good.It's a common mistake.
>>720784013what games do you play. Let's analyze how normie you are first.
>>720789131Why are you on the video games board sucking chinas dick so much? Western this, and western that. Like other places are any better
>>720785541Not sure about porn+energy relations, found that working out/running greatly increases energy, if done in the morning boosts your power for most of the day. not binging YouTube leaves your mind in a better spot for example if you need to do something Abit hard you dont go 'eeeehhhhhhh', also not opening YouTube at morning. Saving 'good stuff' till after I've done work makes it more enjoyable. Food,water important to keep the mind from running all over. 32 here and just trying to re-arange day time blocks to 'get' more out of the day.Pretty sure mindfullness meditation will effect your focus/attention but haven't started doing that yetPorn, at least for me feels like burning through time, could have started working on X at 10, by 1300 would be 3 hours in but if porn, from 10 to 1040 porn, than a shower and a cig/coffee and suddenly it's 1120 meaning to be 3h in would be 1420.
>>720794695Why do you refuse to use periods in your sentences? This is very hard to read.
>keep getting lost>spending more time reading the guide then actually playing the game
>>720784013what games were you playing?modern games have been turned into GaaS slop which are designed to suck the soul, and the wallets, out of players

>>720784013You should be focused on marriage and having children.
>>720784013Smoke a heroic dose of DMT and have an ontological crisis. Then play some Super Mario Bros and have fun :)
>>720795463>marriageLost faith in love or women in general after a string of shitty relationships>kidsWont bring people into a shit world when I dont have the stability to rise them well
>>720793437Pic unrelated of course.
>>720794862Yeah, need to work on that, sorry. thought i over use them since non native english
>>720794678> Like other places are any betterim not convincedonly reason i havent fucked off is the culture and language of anywhere else is alien to meotherwise id probably even go to south america or some shit rather than continue being in this shithole
>>720784013You know why? I'll tell you.When you were young, who was making games? People older than you. The generation behind you. Now, you're the adult. Who is making games? Our generation. Put two and two together. Look at the people representing us. It's pathetic.>>720784054>>720784139Good fucking suggestions, anons. Glad to see all taste isn't dead in this world. Give Batsugun a shot (heh heh) too.
>>720796637Have you considered suicide? Seeing as an electric skateboard is the best thing you’ve ever owned, I don’t think you have very high standards.
>>720797231thats not what i said, i said its better than anything the west makes now, comparatively. seeing as you're so retarded, have you considered it?
>>720784013because youre old and jaded and you need to make it everyone elses problem
>>720785323>Signing up for divorce rape in 2025
>>720784013Your homeostasis is fucked, stop using your shartphone, go to bed at a consistent time to get a full 8 hours sleep, eat less refined sugar and go running every other day at least.The second problem is that your expectations are derived from the 90s and early 00s videogame bubble and are completely untempered, either play old games or temper your expectations and avoid the obvious fraudulent schemes pushed by companies like Ubisoft, Microsoft and Sony.>>720785323>Stop consooming a sustainable and cheap hobby! Go into debt and waste your money on housing and debt-babbies like me! How will GDP infinitely grow if you do not wageslave and reproduce!?>>720789830>Implying 3, 4 or 5 have any games>>720790187You can easily write that off as nothing, just put in some mild motivation and get an actual PC that runs all of those games better and is cheaper overall. Most of the current gen multiplats aren't even worth playing, so having access to older multiplats is better.
>>720784013play better gamesif you're still playing AAA slop in the bleak future of 2025 you're retarded
>>720788654This. Why would you recommend Garegga to someone who clearly overdosed on AAAslop and has never played a niche game ever? It's a hard game that requires a specific mindset to play it.
>>720784013What do you generally play? Try getting out of your comfort zone.
>>720785323in what fucking country can you own a house at 30 without wealthy parents in current year?
>>720784310Your controller is worth more than your laptop
>>720784013Stop gooning, it saps your energy.
