Go back to Dota 2, you fucking sperg.
>>729452776To be honest you recommended him complete and utter uncslop so I cannot blame him for that reaction
>>729452953He's 40.
>>729452776>There's no games to play, games are fucking deadThe people that say this invariably have shit taste and aren't even aware of games that exist outside the AAA sphere
you did recommend him boring games. he has the right idea
>>729453123Pretty much.
>>729453320>>729453438He asked for games with no "button-mashing" and good storyHe literally ASKED for it
>>729452776You can't check someone's Hearthstone playtime so... what other parts of your story are made up?
>>729453554Your discord bot, bro?
> frends
>>729452776you such a nigger, stealing from other threads
>>729454096Check the timestamp
>>729453123There were dozens of AAA classics released during the 7th gen era every year.What good high budget games did we get in 2025?Some bloated medieval larping simulator, and a so called RPG with just two actual choices at the end.
>>729452776Oh fuck I know this.
>>729452776Some "gamers" are legitimately cattle who only play live service slop, and they're the ones echoing "Gaming is le dead".
>>729452776Absolute shit taste your friend has. At least he's not supporting gacha
>>729454216>What good high budget games did we get in 2025?Doom TDA and Ninja Gaiden 4.
>>729453320So what are some good games?
>>729455062Why lie on the internet?
>>729455118Expedition 33
>>729455213Not my fault you like kids.
>>729455220OPs friend probably thinks E33 is "final fantasy"
tell him to play DRGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBMqchi_Tgg
>>729453320Anons idea of a non boring game>Steal the brainrot skibidi Christmas live event
>>729455841peak
>>729455636I played that with him for some 50 hours and he got bored.
>>729452776Typical NPC behavior, also aliased to "normalfag"
>>729453524>original pathologic>final fantasy>metal gear>good story ahahahahahahaha
>>729452776He's right, recommending him old as fuck games doesn't count. AA to AAA gaming is dead and indie games aren't exactly scratching the itch for people.
>>729456079Stop being autistic. They're fucking 10/10 if the only frame of reference OP's friend has is fucking Warframe, CSGO and Dota 2.It's like if you recommended Boss Baby to Plato, he would love it because it would be his first time watching a movie.
>>729453320>FFT>boringZoomers were a mistake.
>>729452776>>friend: "I will not play anything Kojima">>Boktai,nigger you retarded
>>729456173You just hate gamesJust fucking say "I hate video games"If you haven't played those "old as fuck games" you have no right to complain that there's "no games to play"It's like getting into movies and complaining that movies are dead and the only good movie in existence is Predator Badlands
>>729456216Warframe storymogs them
>>729456298He has no idea Boktai is a Kojima game, I could also have recommended Zone of the Enders and he would've been none the wiserBy "Kojima games", my friend means Metal Gear and Death StrandingHe hates all games "Kojima" because of Death Stranding by the way
>>729456453My friend actually completely skips Warframe's story, he's only in it for the grind
>>729456381Nigger all I play is ps2 games on emulator and 16 bit games on my Wii plugged into my CRT. I have beaten more games that you guaranteed. There are no fucking modern games that are good and indie games suck cocks and are for trannies.
>>729456865Stop being obtuse, niggerYou and I have the credentials to complain about games being dead if we wanted because we played a fuckton of games.OP's friend has no fucking right to say games are dead because all he plays is Dota 2 and live-service shit.
>>729452776Why do you have a Russian friend? I'm putting your IP on a list.
>>729457253He's brazilian
>>729457082Who gives a fuck about credentials. Normies are finally waking up to the fact that videogames suck cocks now. I don't care that he has an addiction to multiplayer slop. You don't need to be a genius to see that DEI and corporate greed has ruined the industry.
>>729452953>uncslopretard
>>729457549Who cares that modern games are """"""dead""""""OP's friend is 40 and he has only played Dota 2 and Warframe. He has enough good games to last a lifetime if he just went back and played through all the good shit he missed The gaming industry could die today and it wouldn't impact him at all
>>729452776You shouldn't bother with broad game recommendations. Most people have specific genres they like and prefer. They should play those games, if you can't recommend something in them, then don't.>what if they want to branch out. That's something they need to figure out themselves by just playing whatever looks cool to them.>we don't play any similar genresThan I'm surprised your friends at all unless it's a IRL friend.
>>729452776Every game I can think of either falls under "button mashing" or under "boring" to someone jaded enough.But your friend is a special case; he's not looking for a game, he's a junkie looking for stronger drugs.
>>729457754Your friend is just a nigger with a MP slop addiction. That's all this thread is about. He's never going to play other games because his dopamine receptors has been fucking fried and can't experience other media unless its some pretend competitive setting. MPSlop has ruined millions of brains. He's a lost cause. He's still right about there being no good modern games to play but he's a nigger and won't play good games that exist.
>>729458075>dopamine receptors has been fucking fried That's not a real thing. This friend just has the ultra annoying kind of autism that prevents him from experiencing new things
He doesn't seem to actually want to crawl out of his hole, so fuck him his prison's of his own making.
>>729458385Same goes for you, gameroid. Go touch grass and hit the gym
>>729452776>DOTA 2>PoE>Warframe>CS:GO>HearthstoneYour friend isn't a gamer, he's an addict whose drug is glorified Skinner boxes disguised as video games. I know the type: They'll play League of Legends or CS:GO, but when you try to get them to play Deadlock they'll turn up their noses at it because it's too "different", because it interrupts the steady supply of dopamine that the games they "know how to play" (read: they're platinum and emerald after a decade of playing) feed them.An actual gamer, as cringe as that term is, is a player who loves learning. A gamer becomes an addict when they fall for games like LoL, DOTA, PoE, etc. that are an endless treadmill of comfortable novelties that give you the illusion that you're actively learning and adapting, but in reality you're hardstuck MR 1,400 in SF6 because you spam ranked matches and haven't entered training mode in six months.Basically what >>729458075 said. He's a lost cause unless he's forced to play something that sparks genuine joy, but he'll resent you for trying to make it happen.
>>729452776Outer Wilds, if he's never played it before.He could give the Shadowrun Isometric RPGs a try, they're not bad.He wants Multiplayer slop, tell him to get someone to give him a deadlock invite. If he wants to just sit and seethe, Rimworld is the Idiot's Dwarf Fortress, you can lose a lot of hours in that.
>>729456865>Sam Hyde poster is a jaded miserable fag who thinks everything modern is badYou're the common denominator in why nobody hangs out with you.
