30+ thread. What are you playing? Anything you are looking forward to next year? Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?I am looking forward to Crimson Desert and the james bond game even though it looks sloppy
Most people in these threads are not actually above 30.
>>729891460>PlayingREMake, going to be doing Real Survival and Invisible Zombie mode this weekend>Looking forward toFatal Frame 2 Remake>Tragic life Yes
>>729891460I am worried I might getting senile Being somewhat hopeful about a Star wars game in 2026 can't be the result of a healthy mind
>>729891460playin minecraft with my son. never played minecraft before. we don't look up mechanics and such on the internet, rather from minecraft comics and what his friends tell him. From his comics we made an automated sugarcane farm and tried a lava chicken machine, but maybe the comic was from a previous patch, it got updated and wouldn't work properly
>>72989146036 this year, not playing anything right now as the technical test for fate trigger ended now im just waiting for release, just reading isekai slop, living the good life
>>729891460I almost exclusively play indie games. I can't remember the last time I gave a shit about an AAA game
I'm going to be 40 this year, end it all?
>>729891460>playingnothing, I can't think of anything good that I haven't played already>Looking forward tosh1 remake, re9, maybe gta 6. hopefully retards at bamco fix tekken 8 this year. >tragic lifeI'm living my best life and improvingand so can you
Finally got around to playing bloodborne last month but now I have nothing I want to play
>>729892024Hey man, I just turned 40 a month ago and life has never been better. Keep your head up
>>729891460Playing through the entire Trine series with my wife. Great co-op games. Highly recommended if you have someone to play with locally. Looking forward to Resident Evil Requiem, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and Order of the Sinking Star. Life's good. Reached a point where money's not a big worry anymore and can focus on my hobbies.
I mostly play Resident Evil games and other horror slop.
>>72989146030+ is the start of my VN era. Finally played through Katawa Shoujo and loved it and now I'm going through Stein's Gate and Ace Attorney. Other than that though my gaming has slowed down. I really only consistently play Binding of Isaac and Mario World romhacks (anything by Bandicoot is pretty good)
>>729891460I just finished Tainted Grail. Had a good time with it, but I think I ended up with an OP build and the end boss was sliced meat in seconds, and ruined my fun by accident. I am doing good, all things considered. Most of my friends are dead, but I somehow am in good health. I always thought I would be the first to die.Currently playing Chasm, and probably looking to some new indie titles that look promising.
>>729892468>Katawa ShoujoWhat was your favorite route
>>729892602Rin. Rin forever.Lilly is good too though
1. I am playing Resident Evil 4 HD Project and GRID 2019. 2. Resident Evil 9, Lara Croft and Forza Horizon Japan, I am sure it will be very gay, and very annoying though.3. I am living the hardest time but also the most fulfilling. I am 41 and I used to be a mega neet/hobbyist using my senpai's money. Now I live on my own with a proper job, my own money and place, however a very poor life as a house hermit without a car even.
Do you guys get bored with game way faster than when you were younger? I feel like I don't even want stories in games anymore.
>>729891460Where Winds Meet lately. Also some Dota 2. I played through Detroit Become Human too, and I consider replaying it, but I got other stuff to play first. I played through a chunk of Beyond Two Souls (up to the start of the desert), but playing it right after playing Detroit feels like a significant downgrade.
>>729893069Opposite effect for me, I find myself caring about a good story way more now.You should play shumps if you wanna cut straight to gameplay
>>729891460Revisiting Yakuza Kiwami 2 at the moment to get ready for, Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. Life is just eh at the moment. Could be better, could be worse.
>>729891460I still have ninja gaiden ragebound and double dragon revive in my backlog right now. My son been keeping mr from doing much gaming. Now I watch him play games. I finished a cheap game anomaly agent I picked up for 3 bucks which wasn't bad. As for stuff im looking forward to, I dont really anticipate much and am always a year behind. I guess the new golden axe game and maybe jet set radio but not sure when that's coming.
>>729893069Not quite. As a kid, I sucked at games and rarely finished them, but I still replayed those early parts a lot. Later I started to complete games in most cases (exceptions are when I don't like them, or some end game challenges like not going all the way through Depths in Nioh, and not going for 100% achievements), but replay them less. I think it evens out overall.
>>729893069I dont mind stories but i have zero tolerance for slop writing these days.
>>729893069Since I have way more options now, I'll drop games much more easily. Ever since I got seriously into reading, I stopped caring about videogame stories entirely. It's just not the medium for it. The vast majority of game stories are complete and utter trash, even in genres where it's usually a major focus.
>>729891460Just finished Metroid prime 4, fallout 3 main story (I’ll do the dlc later, I’m tapped out), cooping space marine 2, got expedition 33 queued up but my 40k itch isn’t dead so I might delay that to play some more 40k games like mechanicus. Have a huge 40k boner this year.
>>729891519I'm 19 but find I fit in more with people who are over 30. Never enjoyed games that everyone else my age plays, like Fortnite.
>>729891460>What are you playing?Dynasty Warrior Origins>Anything you are looking forward to next year?Ace Combat 8:Wings of Theve. Hoping for a Armored Core VI DLC>Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?yes
Working right now, but about to play some more Suikoden 5 on my lunch break. Got a three day weekend coming up so I'll probably polish this game off and cook good food and play Nightreign with friends
>>729891519true, im turning 67 this year
Playin returnal and Darkwood>>729891460>Anything you are looking forward to next year?Ace combat 8, RE9, Pragmata,>>729891460>Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?Long time ago
37Playing Metro 2033 right now, probably the 6th time I've played this game. Looking forward to Saros, Control 2, RE9, 007, nu tomb raider games and uh... idk what elseMy life is over, I've accepted it and embraced it.
>>729891460diablo 2, civilization 2not reallymy life has been pretty good, I'm glad I don't have to deal with most normalfag shit
>>729893727Game stories suffer massively from the influence of Hollywood slop and anime. Just pick any random cheap fantasy pulp novella from the early 20th century and it's probably better written than most fantasy games.
>>729891460>What are you playing?Jedi Acdemy and MArio Galaxy 2>Anything you are looking forward to next year?Duskbloods and Fire Emblem. Maybe GTA if its not too pozzed>Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?Life is suffering. The sooner you accept this the sooner you will be free.
it's pretty arrogant to think that you needed to 'matter'. 99.9% of all humans lived and died while doing and accomplishing nothing of note other than having a kid. Getting old is realizing you're just like everyone else more or less and you playing video games is going to have as much effect on the world after you as Makmud Al'Salbingbong who lived 2000 years ago and died working himself to the bone reaping wheat for his lord
Just turned 36 and have developed some kind of chronic I'llness or autoimmune disorderIt will happen to you too
>>729891460>30+ thread. What are you playing?Onirism, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition>Anything you are looking forward to next year?2027? not really - if you meant 2026 , then also Crimson Desert >Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?Yes.
>>729894395my toenail just fell off yesterday I read it will take up to two years to regrow
>>729894395Hey me too. I have GERD or something mimicking it.It's absolute hell! I want to die!
>>729894448its so joever
>>729894395>>729894530Are you fat? Be honest. Yes, skinnyfat counts.
I haven't played a real musou in years, not since I went through the DW Gundam games on PS3. This shit is fantastic, it's the dream game for anyone who enjoys character unlocking. A little on the easy side but I've been leveling basically every character to avoid that.
>>729893781Trueeee I was also born in the wrong generation no cap frfr
>>729893069Yeah. I'm tired of story. I feel like too many video games rehash stories I've seen a million times. I highly value pick up and play games now.
>>729894363>MArio Galaxy 2Real Wii or emulated?I've never played the Galaxy games because emulating the controls is annoying as fuck but if you have a good method please share cause I do want to play them as a bit of a Mario fanboy
>>729894618Ironically my condition got worse after I lost 50 pounds.But yes I'm still fatter than I should be
>>729894395I had testicular cancer at 26 so I hope that cached some karma for my long term health. 31 now, happily married with our first kid on the way and finally getting in shape to set a good example for my son. It feels great to look great
>>729892602Idk why so many VNs dont shell out the money to get translated. The popular ones are only so because they invested in an English translation. So many better ones you can play with fan translations
>>729891519I’m 30+ 1 day old. I’m officially part of the club.
>>729894890Based, +4 days here
>>729893781unthinkable opinion to have 20 years ago. I got a laughed at at school for listening to 'dad rock' (literally just music from the 80's)
>>729894643Did I type like that?
>>729894841True, like How to Raise a Happy NEET
>>729891460>playingEnder Magnolia. The reviews are right, it's just better than the first across the board besides maybe the storyI've got OG Doom sitting there. Just played it for the first time recently and I'm keeping it around until I find some good mods.Timberborn, Duke 3D, Amid Evil are on my desktop. I bought AoE 1 and 2 because I haven't played them in over a decade, and I'm really pissed they changed the desktop icons and start menus. Nostalgia ruined right there>looking forward toWishlist says:Tower of TearsCapital CommandGlacieredMENACEPax Autocraticaand whatever EA games I'm keeping an eye on>tragic lifeMaking progress. Went to rehab and got off the booze. I actively want to love myself and put effort into it, and the crushing existential angst that circles my head every night has calmed down a bit since I started reading some philosophy. New ideas work, what can I say
>>729894831Damn what a turnaround in a short period of time. Good for you Anon
>>729891460im looking forward to like 3 ultra niche games you have never heard about
>>729894841Probably because devs know as well as we do that many localizers are trooncancer. Even worse. they would actually need to have keep at least email contact to them
about to play masquerade redemption what should i expcet
>>729895253>Probably because devs know as well as we do that many localizers are trooncancer.I wish that were true. Here are the translators for the VN Nukitashi, which was a fairly high budget title.They PAID for this 'work'.
>>729891460Looking forward to Pragmata. Am on a potent stack of antidepressants that still maintain my boner and libido so I'm alright.
I only play Rogue Trader and Slay the Spire.I hope Dark Heresy will be good.
>>729893069No, I actually think I am enjoying games more than when I was 17-25 or so.
>>729893069I often replay games I know I like and won't mind replaying over trying new titles. 5 or 6 years ago I'd rather try a new game. I'm 35.
42 and feelin pretty good. Just had some pork and saurkraut for dinner. Pretty coolm wife and awesome sons. Trying to get as fit as I can by my 43rd birthday. Playing a lot of 2d indie games mostly.
On my 30th birthday in a few weeks I'll try to finally beat Great Thing>>729894636There are so many musou out there it's hard to choose which to go withGlad you found the right one for you
>>729895314Anger at losing your cappadocian qt
>>7298914602026 is the first year since 2019 I've felt excited to play games. A new Ace Combat, Star Wars Racer 3, Screamer, Dawn of War 4.>>729893069I can't play games for more than 2 hours in one sitting, actually. When I was a teen and waiting for Halo 3 I literally didn't sleep the night prior and clocked in 9 or 12 hours right afterwards.
>>729896414>I can't play games for more than 2 hours in one sitting, actually. When I was a teen and waiting for Halo 3 I literally didn't sleep the night prior and clocked in 9 or 12 hours right afterwards.How old are you? I'm 30 and me and another 29yo and 16yo played like 12 hours without break last week.
>>729891460Gonna be 37 this year. Holy fuck.>What are you playing?Going through FFXVI for the first time. It's alright. I get why people didn't care for it. But honestly, after always getting sidetracked in open-world games or playing the colony/citybuilders and farm sims...Playing something so linear is kind of a nice.>Anything you are looking forward to next year?Pathologic 3 comes out next Friday apparently. Gonna need to find sometime to play through it and finish FFXVI while also going through the final Savage tier in FFXIV - which also comes out next week.>Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?I've accepted and overcome many things. I'm just taking each day as they come although my dream of having a nice, little house in the mountains somewhere feels less achievable every day.
>>729896552I'm 32, I just start to feel nauseated and my eyes feel dry, I blink them alot to clear it up but it takes about 5 minutes for the bleariness to settle down. I take about a 30-40 minute break and come back shortly afterwards, my subconscious picked up in my mid 20s that the game will still be there, no need to torture myself lol
>>729893781>I'm not like the other boys! I'm very mature for my age! Please stretch my bussy, daddy!This is what you sound like.
>>729896762Thats me when I try to play while wearing contacts over 6h, but without that reason? I'd say its time for a med-check
>>729896762i had this problem with modern computer monitors for ages, the PWM on TN and IPS panels made gaming impossible for longer than 1-2 hours. I finally bit the bullet and bought an expensive oled panel and the eyestrain went away.
>>729893727Perfectly encapsulates my feeling for stories in video games. If your game doesn't have gameplay a good story's not going to cover for it. Write a book!
>grew up on GBC and GBA>relate more to FF1-6 then ps1 FFanyone else? FF7 threads feel foreign to me. I find OG xbox games pretty cool having missed out on that era. Maybe one day emulate shitcube to see what it was like to be a cubie in the day.
Most new games feel like shit and I always have to doubt myself if the new releases actually suck ass or I'm just being nostalgic. then I just play new and old games back to back and realize new games actually do suck ass
>>729894704I'm playing it on a hacked wii u. Its pretty great. I highly recommend buying a used wii or wii u for playing old nintendo games
>>729897053you zoomettes are the first generation of women who have competition for the older guys and it makes you angsty.
>>729891460>30+ thread.42 here>What are you playing? currently openxcomfiles 3.9 and guild wars here and there along with some picross>Anything you are looking forward to next year? absolutely nothing my dude, i stopped getting hyped ages ago, what's the point?>Have you come to terms with the tragic life you've lived so far?well i'm relatively happy so. happily married for 15 years. recently got sacked but i'd like to think i'm morally ahead, so.
38, maybe 39 can't remembergetting back into programming after like 10 years and think about speccing fully into greybeard shit and dedicating the rest of my life to making an obscure RPG with too many mechanics to keep track of that nobody will ever play
>>72989795730 y.o. i had this poster irl
>>729898196very cool, here's a broquest one for you
>>729898190If you ever get thereAdd waifus, receive free testers
>>729891460I played Arcanum all through Christmas and New Year's Eve. I'm still playing it. And I'm gonna tell ya, there's a lot of lesbian sex. Best RPG ever. I'm not interested in new games.
>>72989146029, gonna be 30 this year.I'm got into Warhammer 40k so I played Dawn of War 1 and now I'm playing Rogue Trader. The game is really good. Hope that Dark Heresy and Total War 40k will also be.
