Peak slop, your friend was right. Only Rabi-Ribi is a good game on par with Hollow Knight among what you suggested your pal to play. Jesus christ

>>738376060
Shut the fuck up and mind your own business for a second stop trying to recreate your inhospitable living conditions everywhere you go i dont care if you grew up around all this bitchiness you’ve gotta learn to be comfortable in non-bitch environments okay because everywhere you go is just bitchier for you having been there and i know that’s how you like it but get a grip okay just quit the bitching. Call your buddy retarded about it why dont you

Maybe I like these games for being apex predators of their fields according to my personal tastes and I don't in fact want some watered down variant. I already have a fridge full of infinite filet, I'm in no rush to change it up or compromise.

Its crazy to me people think the way OP does, and that so many of you think he’s right. What an intolerable and inconsolable person you are OP, for shame

so you're watching him while he plays? seems stressful

>>738377945
Your case is different because even the vanilla versions of those games have enough content to justify 1000 hours.
Something like Hollow Knight is maybe 100 hours tops if you’re reaaaaaally taking your time and then doing pantheon and steel-mode. My friend is somehow stretching it to 1000, and I know he’s playing vanilla with no mods. He’s not even speedrunning or doing challenge runs.

>>738378539
Are you like literally retarded bro? Do you also only play the same 4 games on repeat?
What do you even post about in the video games board if you only play the same games?

>>738376060
Let him be retarded bro, you're the autist in this case even if your taste is better.

>>738376060
Yes it's autism. You cannot save him. How do you two manage to remain friends? I have a tough time being friends with people I don't play games with. That said your friend likes roguelites so you should probably recommend a roguelite, if you're going to continue which you probably shouldn't. The best recommendation is listening to someone talk about their experience rather than someone pushing a game on you.

Better than my friends who play multiplayer shit like Valorant, LoL, Deadcock or Dead by Deadlight almost all day and complaining in VC about literally anything that happens in the game or some popular games that they play just because they are popular. They can't even articulate why they like those games expect that "I blike it/I enjoy it" which annoys the shit out of me.
I can't even convince them to play any co-op game that isn't another FOTM like REPO or RV there yet.

Worst part is I didn't want to play anything else at the time and I was looking for new mmos to play at the time like WAR, Rift and all that.

I knew some guys like that from other sites. For some it's nothing but Pokémon and only the real official ones, if you suggest anything else they get uncomfortable, even if it's Pokémon romhacks. One got obsessed with Dark Souls 3, tried Dark Souls Remastered once, tried Sekiro once, wouldn't touch any other rollslop or really any other game. Just go through Dark Souls 3 over and over forever.

One of the starter characters Deadlift drives a forklift that he uses to pick up and throw enemy vehicles. It has a demo if you want to dip your toes in.

>>738387109
They get uncomfortable because they know you think they actually have to play the game because you said so, and every time you see them you’re going to ask if they played the game and every time act like they’ve broken a promise to you when they said from the beginning they would not play the game.
Depending on how shitty (you) are, this will quickly spiral into character threats and public slander the likes of which you people have already performed in this thread.
And you act like this even though if someone asked you to read ANY BOOK instead of worrying about what video game someone else is playing, you would look at them like they were crazy

>>738387759

How is that even remotely true. These multiplayer games will continually challenge and force you to improve / rethink the way you play even after 1000 hours. 100 hours of hollow knight and you already mastered the game

>>738376060
Idk why is everyone shitting on your game choices. You gave him a pretty decent lineup, given what he likes, it's up to the guy to like the game or not.
But don't be obnoxious faggot about your friend not liking something. There are some specific kind of autist that can only play like 4 games over and over again. I have a friend that has like 2k hours in FTL, and other one that plays classic wow exclusively for like 15 years now. I have no clue what the fuck he does or how does he still get enjoyment out of it - it does not even look like he does.

>>738394673
It doesnt. Thats your standard.

>>738394775
Are you dense? Whether it's new or an old game objectively the fact is that's new to him regardless. You are conflating new in a historical sense with new in a personal sense.

>Why can't it be new in both senses
Why would it need to be? The point is personal novelty not historical novelty.

>>738395019
Idk why is that anon is so stubborn. Its as if he neve was in "how the fuck did I even miss this game" situation, ever.

>>738395019
OP is not sharing in doing something new with his friend, he is chiding his friend for only doing old things, and then can only think of his old things as examples of something new. I understand ‘new to him’, but OP is being old himself

>>738395210
He’s fine to recommend whatever and the friend is fine to accept or deny whatever. OP is just a needling weirdo who insists that his negging wants of other people must be virtues

Before we go further, what is this guy’s job? Because you drive a fucking forklift man of course you need ‘adventure’ when sitting in your gamer chair you fucking move boxes along a line for a living. You go apeshit if a fucking rolling cart is in your way. So maybe if this guy has class or a job in something actually engaging and tricky, he probably likes to play something reliable and less stressful when he’s off

>>738395234
That's fallacious. For starters OP recommended both new and old games, Astlibra released a few years ago. Second, nothing says that an old game won't be more novel to you than a new game. If anything old games are more unlike what you are used to and take you more out of your comfort zone.

Also, a new game can be a rehashed soulless thing while an old one could be truly different than anything else that released after.

Anon, just make up and kiss then fuck your friend already

Wow that anime avatar is horrible.
Multiplayer games and roguelitelitelitelitelites ask the player to just play them without any particular goal in mind. They might win a match or even beat the roguelike. They'll still just keep playing because their goal was not to win and turn the game off. I don't think anyone should play Binding of Isaac for 1000 hours, but some people just get in the habit of playing it, and they don't see any reason to stop.

>im being honest here when i call him a gay retard
And you’re lying to him when you pretend that’s not how you think of him, but he can tell because you are treating him as a pussy retard. ‘Thats what i think of him and how i treat him but he’s an even gayer retard because he seems to act like im calling him a gay retard even though he should be too stupid to tell’ something like that?

Dude, my friend is literally a little baby that starts crying when he gets out of his "comfy zone"
I'm trying to be a good friend and not trigger another one of his crying outbursts
I was just trying to be nice and recommend him something different so he's not just playing Hollow Knight over and over again like a retard
You are hopeless if you don't see how playing Hollow Knight over and over again for thousands of hours when he's not even a speedrunner is the type of shit that will eventually turn him retarded

You think the absolute worse of him and spend your time with him treating him like a retard, and then when he’s minding his own business you make sure and ping him and treat him like a retard some more. But please write another paragraph about how much you think he’s a retard and he doesnt have a right to be left alone about that. That will surely help your case

NTA but I have one friend who I think has some retarded opinions, like thinking Warframe has the best monetization ever or WuWa being the pinnacle of gacha(playing gacha in the first place, lmao) and that is has deep combat(same with PGR), story, music, character design etc. etc. and we talked about it quite a lot and no matter what I say he won't change his mind so I just gave up talking about this instead of calling him a retard because why shouldr I ignite an argument for no reason all?
>>738399146
I understand you anon. I could understand if he played for a bit and said he didn't like it but tried different game, but literally crying and then going back to that one singleplayer game he finished probably at least 50 times already is just sad.

Haha true fair enough
at least we know to hate certain reddit words. maybe actually it isn't better that way, the drummed up hate for 'media literacy' is not good for thinking, and yes the way they made it a corrupt reddit idea to us is part of the job. The ancient technique to drum up an idiotic mutually self-harming war (mental or otherwise), is to take group X and group Y, find the most anti-Y statement of group X, play it back to group Y, record their most extreme or disgusting reaction, play it back to group X. Repeat on feedback loop. You might see it sometimes!!!

>All of these autistic retards ITT bitching at OP for simply recommending other games

God forbid a man tries to recommend another game to play to his friend. OP, you've done nothing wrong, autists are simply incapable of trying new experiences, and will always throw bitch fits and piss and shit themselves if you simply suggest that they should.

>>738404769
But im autistic and try new things.

>>738403062
Because he's a friend

>>738376060
>Your friend tries a game at your recommendation
>You ridicule him for it

Sounds like he needs support? That said, I feel you deeply.
I got a similar buddy into Ace Combat 7 and he only played it stoned as fuck, constantly flying into shit and not retaining any of the controls between sessions. He dropped it after trying it twice. Felt like he sabotaged his own chances of liking it and at times I didn't know how to advise him without sounding like a nanny.

>>738404769
It's not even recommending, the OP was having the dude stream SotN for him for some reason instead of letting him enjoy the game on his own. If anything OP is more autistic for being so adamant on getting this dude to try something else when he clearly doesn't want to.

>>738376060
Normies are fundamentally broken. Ever seen videos of kids in highschool in the 90s or 2000s? Notice how they want to talk and don't mind sharing tons of info and like to hear about what you enjoy too?

That's called having a soul, normies don't have this today.

Another word for having no souls is "BPD". BPD can be cured and a soul can be gained with enough effort but the soulless don't exert effort unless forced to under duress.

I find high playtime in games really weird. Like im not sure what drives people to play one game that much.

Ive got 30 ish hours give or take in Resident Evil Requiem, Screamer, and Pragmata. Games released this year. And like im done (at least for now) with them.

But gaming discourse always seems to boil down to "I HAVE 297 HOURS IN THIS GAME SO I CAN TELL YOU ITS FUCKING SHIT". Or people showing off hundreds of hours in a few games on their Playstation profile like its a flex or whatever.

Maybe im just too casual.

>>738376060
>Astlibra
Based friend. He should really listen to you more.

>>738404769
He can recommend but he's like on the phone with the guy making him play a game he said he already didn't want to play, asking for updates and commentary, and then when he quits because he never wanted to do it, you call him retarded online and have a bunch of people posting memes and saying he's a loser retard. I don't think you yourself would do that or would anyone or let anyone do that to you. I mean let's be realistic here.

>>738405215
I think you accidentally weaponize this. I think you, without knowing it, kind of force him to do things he doesn't need to or isn't ready to do, and hold him hostage by calling him a friend the whole time. And I do get what you're saying and what you're doing, I'm not really trying to say it's wrong or a wrong impulse, but I am saying - stop yourself when you find yourself asking someone to provide video of them playing a game they don't want to play, and if even if they do fucking cry at any level of the situation, its your fucking fault and that doesn't make you a healer, okay?

>>738408745
Oh my God, stop being a fucking redditor pussy

>>738405269

>>738405273
>was having the dude stream SotN for him for some reason
Our group of real life friends gets on a call every day and some of them like streaming their games, this dude being one of them. He started streaming it himself, I didn't pressure him

>>738409610
what is this thing where you're on the phone or on a stream when he does it? I mean really i might have the situation all wrong im prepared to accept that but what is that, is that the first time you were on him while playing a game or is that just the format you guys hang out in.

>>738405418
But you only play that single wad?
You play nothing else? No other games?
What are you even doing here on the /v/ideo games board if you literally don't play video games?

If you start crying after a friend tells you to start something new and your autistic brain can't comprehend doing something you're not familiar with you have the big tism and the only cure is to kill yourself

When I was a lil kid I loved to tiptoe around, not even to be sneaky. Why? Autism would explain it. So would saying it felt good to do because I liked how my toes felt bent at an angle.
So why does your friend only play these four games? There's a different reason aside from autism. Figure that out, and adjust your recommendations accordingly.

>>738410101
I wasn't there I just don't know if he was crying! I guess all I can do is believe you but I fucking wasn't there man! It's a pretty big accusation but I could imagine you being annoying enough to warrant it!

>>738410128
yeah but what is autism like its not a bug its not a virus you cant show it to me on a fucking radar like dog its not only a diagnosis its a fucking spectrum of a fucking alleged sociological condition conceptualized only by a set of not-mutually necessary symptoms it covers people who fucking growl and shit to people who choke up a bit when they find themselves pressured into doing something they don't want to do, like dude they just cancelled aspergers nobody knows what the fuck is going on

>>738410381
Nice bait man you almost got me there

>>738410496
in what way. this is line with how doctors conceptualize it. this is canon, that's what autism means. so is any kid who's on an electrician's apprenticeship who's spamming his favorite video game while he can really autistic?
Or maybe it's fucking nice that he's in a daily group chat every day of the week talking to his fucking friends, playing a game that's easy for him at this point, so he can have some mental energy to keep talking with his friends! Ever think about that?
And to be real the types of things you're saying should really be about getting pussy. I mean really

>>738376060
How does this affect you even remotely? Dude is happy playing those games, you’re not the gaming hall monitor. It’s really fucking weird for you to demand he change what he’s doing when he’s not harming anyone at all. Why do people like you feel the need to force others to do/say/think what you do? People are different and like different things, and that’s okay. It’s not even remotely important, it’s a video game. You can’t compel another man to recreation.
>Just play the game! Do what I say! YOU haven’t played enough of the game to satisfy ME!
Seriously kill yourself you silly little faggot. No means no, take the answer and move on.

>see friend playing games

>force them to try some slop they don't wanna play

I dropped a friend a long time ago because he would resort to character attacks. I love Evangelion well enough at this point but he begged me to watch it so much and eventually demanded an explanation so I remembered 'yeah I don't know those annoying girls from middle school were always pestering everyone about it so i didn't want to get involved' and suddenly it turns into 'OH ITS TOO BAD THAT ONE GIRL HURT YOU SO MUCH YOURE SCARED OF EVANGELION NOW' like okay dude get a grip.

It seems what I'm doing right is not being a little bitch (like most anons ITT) I call shit out when I see it. If a friend is spiraling into the same braindead routine every weekend, I tell him straight up instead of nodding along like a coward just to keep the peace. I don't pretend everything is fine when it isn't, and I don't dress up hard truths in soft words just to spare someone's feelings, because that's what little bitches do when they care more about being liked than being respected.
I also don't dodge confrontation. When there's a problem, I bring it up. When someone disrespects me, I push back.
I'd rather have an uncomfortable conversation now than let resentment build up like some passive-aggressive coward

It does genuinely sound like autism to me.

>>738416876
No I never had a real problem with Evangelion in the first place but this guy probed me to conjure one and it didn't help me end up watching it at all since all I did was basically get drunk years later and decide to pull it up casually like I had always planned to.

Lot of reassurance you're doing there pal. Your guy hangs out with you and a half dozen people every day in voice chat, he's working on his career with a family business, he twiddles around on Hollow Knight while he's on the phone with you guys, sometimes you guys watch him play it. What's the fucking problem brother? Again you are not even trying to get pussy, if you were trying to start an actual adventure between people that'd be one thing but you are just in the same fucking voice chat as him bitching to your friend who has trouble telling you to fuck off

>>738376060
It’s autism. I usually distance myself from them. Makes our friendship last longer.
I always give the good old college try.
Spergs are almost incapable of that unless you spend at least a year getting them used to being out of their comfort zone. Their autism is effectively cured after that, but only if they’re willing to put the effort into it.
