My IQ is 146 (tested) and I cannot grasp RTS games. I genuinely believe you have to be within midwit territory to *get* them. Wargaming in general seems like an IQ trap but that's its own can of worms.

>>734979208Hollow Knight
>>734992527RTS games are more about command spamming and having a line of troops produced for your assaults/rushes etc and memorizing a pattern of micros to beat your enemy with; If there's provable strats that work. Use it; always be meta-gaming if you can't grasp it: Once you are off the training wheels. Then you should be able to freestyle as you understand the game and strategy. I bet you would like Hearts Of Iron 4 or Crusader Kings 2. Its more of the high-IQ spectrum enjoyment thing.

Some of the best stories are adventure games if you ask me, like Majora's Mask, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and the Legacy of Kain series.

99% of all video game stories that are considered clever. For example Bioshock Infinite (actually any video game story involving time travel and/or multiple universes as plot devices), Metal Gear, (some) Final Fantasies, Disco Elysium, Last of Us etc etc.I seriously think video gamers literally never read any decent books voluntarily.
>>734979415Disco Elysium is a smart game, too bad it became popular because "le drunkard commie, let's punch a nazi" so the whole discussion around it is made by trannies taking about anything but the game.
>>735006938>BookniggerContemporary book stories suck just as much. The entire world has degenerated, and so have its stories.
>>734980281>Mid/bad anime game>Suddenly becomes about someone realizing they are trapped in a simulation so they try to connect to the only other sentient being in the universe (to her knowledge)>The game says "fuck that" and just ends?????
>>735007004>Disco Elysium is a smart gameJust because it's smarter than your average video game - which has "drooling retard" tier writing - doesn't make it smart. Just smartER. Saying that Disco Elysium is a smart game is like saying that The Dark Knight is a smart movie.
>>735007146Want to give us an example of smart game o enlightened one?
>>735007101Indeed. I typed in "classic books" before changing it to "decent books", but maybe I should've kept the former.I couldn't believe my eyes when I read some of what Brandon Sanderson had written, and I'm still assuming that his writing is better than that of all the romantasy that keeps selling insane amounts.

>>735007208No. I can't think of one that I consider "smart". I will, however, say that I do respect games where the writing only works well as a video game. That is at least, in my opinion, smarter than third-person movie games.
>>735007304Anon you sound like a /pol/ refugee, if you don't like games why are you even here, did all other boards kick you out already?
>>735007353>if you don't like games why are you even hereOh, I like games. I just don't consider them smart. They're mostly braindead entertainment, just like action movies. I like Arnold's Commando a lot, but I certainly do not think of that movie as "smart".

>>735006639Hardcore helps a lot. I only play NV on the hardest difficulty and hardcore mode. Although it's mostly just the slow healing as well the ammo weight. The survival elements are way too forgiving without some self imposed rules like only eating certain types of food or no fast travel.Hardcore only helps with combat but that is it's biggest weakness. Now, there's a lot more value to combat and healing skills. It doesn't save the game from extreme minimaxing but for themed playthrough with self imposed restrictions it can be a good time.
>>735007612Chess. Once you pass about 2000-2100 any serious advantage is just a matter of dumping more extraneous information out of your head like your siblings birthdays or your mothers maiden name and instead using that mental capacity to study more opening lines to a higher degree of move depth.
