>>746445385I really don't want to sell you on League of Legends
>>746445385pc gamer called it the Most Fun You Can Have Online about 20 years ago
>>746445385>skyrimNo. I only have so much playtime because 14 year old me had shit taste and spent a lot of time trying to debug mod crashes
>>746445385Vampire the masquerade bloodlinesProbably 1000 hours over the past thirteen years
>world of Warcraft >mainly classic The one game that my normalfag friends still play occasionally.
>>746445385>World of WarCraft ClassicYou know, you just can't experience this game the same way anymore, its one of those rare games really that it was a product of its time and needed to be played back then.>Hunt ShowdownGreatest FPS game on the market today, criminally underappreciated.>TarkovCan't recommend to anyone, still i've put over 1000h to it. Its just fundamentally shitty game, but the jank and attention to detail leverages it.
>>746445385>starcraft 2it has great community, however i've mostly interacted with it through esports, so. met tons of great people though. play brood war, it's a timeless classic. sc2's campaign is pretty fun, but the story is hot garbage.
It's probably World of Warcraft but I would never sell you on that. I don't play anymore, half of my time was clocked in high school when it was new and we had a guild of local kids. After everyone left after wrath it was really just another 10 years of me getting nostalgia baited by a game that had a completely dead social element and a lot of sunk cost fallacy. After WoW it was probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite or 3 Ultimate. Really any Monster Hunter before World was my jam, I don't have a pitch because anyone who would like Monster Hunter probably already played it.
>>746445385>Total War Warhammer 2I can't.

>>746448359same as haloyou had to be thereimpossible to explain
>>746448359>Early days of internet>Game is persistent world (something still not done well today)>In a way its a MASSIVE CHAT ROOM where you can also emote, go have adventure together, chat, trade, whatever>Everything is new to everyone>You actually have agenda to talk to people; ask how to do this or that mission.>Back when having an exclusive chat channel felt like a big thing (guild chat)And so much more. There really isn't anything like it still. So many games try to be 'WoWkiller' or whatever and fuck it up with the basics.
>>746445385GTA V/Online1600+ hours
>>746448359The same thing that was amazing about the beginning of Team Fortress 2 and OverwatchWoW made the MMO a household genre by making it easy but also more polished and accessibleThis creates an organic community of passionate people immediately
>>746448359We grew up before social media became ubiquitous, when texting had finite messages per month, and when the people you primarily interacted with were local to you. WoW gave you a chat room with people around the world like AIM or IRC, but it also gave you and everyone else an avatar and a justification to interact. It's basically impossible to explain to someone who grew up in a post Internet world how novel that was. It's not novel anymore, casual players left for other online spaces that fit them better, and the only people left are largely unsociable and optimizing the fun out of the game. That and Warcraft 3 was fucking awesome when it came out, a lot of us were excited to live in the world that the Warcraft games set up.
>>746448359what those other anons said. When we were kids this shit was completely new. The idea of having a persistent character I could level up, make stronger, see new content, and play the game with my friends was fucking mind blowing. Then add 20 years of nostalgia onto that and it’s literally the only video game my friends play. It’s nice to log on every now and again, shoot the shit on discord and play together.
>>746448359Imagine a world where you have to slowly install game expansions from discs instead of over a near-enough-instant 100MB/s download connection.
>>746448359It's one of those "you had to be there" things, and also one of the best "third places" at the time.
>>746445385I'm autistic and I've never done this. I get bored at around the 80 hour mark and I don't like gameplay mods so there's never any reason to revisit a game more than once or twice
>>746448771both of those games were trash at launch and had to be fixed with years of updates?
>>746449140Why do people bother pointing out they're autistic? You're talking about video games on 4chan, it was 50:50.

>>746445385X4: Foundations.First person space combat with a galaxy wide economy you can manipulate. Start as some scrub in a single ship and work your way up to a mighty galaxy spanning empire with countless fleets of war and trade ships.Its been out for a while and theres a few massive overhaul mods for it, most notably the star wars mod where you can fly virtually every ship in the star wars universe. You can get up from the controls and wander diffrent decks or stand on the bridge and command your empire as your employees/slaves/minions do your bidding. Build massive stations and produce your own goods or make undefeatable space fortresses. Combine it all together or have specialized stations dedicated to crafting one single trade good.The galaxy is yourse. Will you seize it?
>>746449394I thought this was a vaporwave game because it is advertised everywhere
>>746445385>Monster Hunter Rise: about 300 hoursIt's probably the best new world game out of the three we have now. (Still would put 4U and GU higher overall though)Great new Monsters and ArmorInteresting story and intro scenes that make everything look pretty coolWirebugs are fun to use.And probably has the most variety when it comes to skills into the new world (not saying much when most thing are still just 'get big damage with a small slap on the wrist')Overall a pretty good game, especially for someone new looking to get into both old and new world Monster Hunter
>>746445385DotsDota 2Counter strikeDiablo 2WoWYes I'm a retard
>>746449953Thats good to know as I just bought the rise complete edition on sale on switch
>>746449915i got into it way back in 2013 before they started mass advertising to normgroids and were still trying to appease the autist playerbase, the game has grown to be as wide as an ocean but as shallow as a fucking puddle, there is no interesting gamemodes, it's all fucking team deathmatch and by god you VILL like it or elseshit like the singleplayer campaign or voice chat has been broken for years and they don't even bother trying to pretend they're fixing shit

>>746450143Nice, I recommend if you like it enough and want more. Then get GU when it goes on sale as well.That's where shit gets crazy
>>746445385TF2 but I can't sell you on it. I'd say it's not even worth picking up and trying out other than it to be your silly fuck around game and maybe make some mods in. Not even because you couldn't learn how to play but because it doesn't matter if you're good or not. Every game, community server or casual, is stomp or be stompedEvery third game will have an UWU furfag tranny that won't STFU about their kinks or a sharty Chud that won't STFU aout the most basic bitch /pol/ memesSpinbots are gone but closet cheaters are still around. It'll take a few hundred hours but eventually you'll realize what can and cannot be doneLots of community content but MAYBE 10% of it ever is used. Old school servers with loads of custom content from maps, modes, models, saysounds, etc are long goneIf you are a big enough fag to want to try comp you'll be SOL because that shit has been dead for yearsHitreg is ass
>>746445385Not my most played I barely scrapped the surface but I can see myself playing mudrunner and snowrunner for thousand of hours. A few months ago if you asked me what game to pick when isolated on a deserted island I wouldn't even think about those. Now I'm sure I'd have mudrunner with mods or snowrunner in my list. Whenever I can I ask anons to at least try mudrunner ( it's about two or three GB ).
>>746445385To be honest, my most played games are MMOs, and mostly because I used them as hangout spots.My most played game where I actually PLAYED it is New Vegas. Ironically, for very autistic reasons. My most time-consuming playthroughs involved me basically just going to various high tier resettable locations to farm materials and funds for making my ultimate survivor bunker. It was supposed to have at least 100 of every top tier consumable, and my main bottlenecks were deathclaw omelettes (finding crunchy mutfruits is torture, but you can rarely get them from food vendors on reset), wasteland salads (pinion nuts are a similarly rare delicacy), Turbo (Jet turns out to be really fucking hard to come by), and some others that I don't remember anymore.I ended up deleting that multihundred hour playthrough because my build was imperfect and I was really mad about it. As of right now I am badly burned out and don't want to restart that playthrough because I need to pre-emptively math out my level ups and end up with perfect 100s in all skills without wasting any perks or skill books. I'm also not sure if I want to take the Comprehension perk, because on one hand it's a meta perk due to Voracious Reader, but on the other hand I hate using consumables so I don't want to take Voracious Reader despite it being meta. And this kind of uncertainty keeps me from properly doing my playthrough.
The endgame is fucking amazingalso>
>>746451039forgot to "sell"Ever heard of that unknown indie game called death stranding? It's the concept of moving stuff around through difficult places but good, unlike slop stranding. Because kohimbo was too busy fellating jewllywood celebs and scanning feet to make a good game.With lot of realism and depth, lot of mud ( in which you can sometimes sink to your waist ) and lot of cool eastern/russian trucks. There.
>>746445385Darktide.There is no other game with a million little stats and hidden mechanics that actually only matter maybe 10% and the rest is positioning, map knowledge and reaction speed and using basic moves like blocking, pushing, dodging, sliding and sprinting. I play it because its funny how ragdolls are sent flying with heavy swings or when you throw a rock at a charging mutant.
>>746448578there was also EverQuest
>>746445385>Kerbal Space Program>2000+ hours - Majority ultra-modded.A good 30% of that time was probably spent waiting for the game to boot. But no other game lets you build Skyscraper sized ships with enough of delta-v to strip a planetary atmosphere. A shame it brings Unity to its knees half the time though.
>>746445385>war thunderno, don't bother playing that game isn't worth your time>war of rightsamerican civil war fps, quite fun and voip is required as shit talking is part of the fun. main issue of the game is that the devs take forever to release new content

I have like 400+ soon to be 500 hours in Yokai Watch 3: 380 in one file and 100 in the other. There's so much shit packed into this game, like Hazy Lane, Blasters T, and just a lot of subquests. I think it's also one of the best-looking 3DS games in general. And I just like the music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHwgjacImpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbDNcdkJHRAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j-EIY-Bv4g

>>746445385Inside. Every single day since launch I've done a playthrough.
>>746454645You get Pandanoko yet?
>>746448359Very good level design and art direction made world believable. These were not a video game levels, but a places. A world to explore. There are some videos which capture a bit of the essence of what this game used to be. Later it became too bland and formulaic, but vanilla WoW was a place you could live in. https://youtu.be/GEf-KFO8HkIhttps://youtu.be/LoQVv6vK_UA

>>746445385>War ThunderThere exists no circumstance in which you should ever play this game.
>>746445385>most played>league of legendFun characters and alot of variety, the lore used to be nice then they decided to fill it to the brim with lgbt slop and muh irl politics when it never had anything to do with runeterra. You'll have fun learning the game but it will get stale after like 3000 hours or so, the the updates modes tft and other stuff help spice it up>limbus companyI just don't recommend it, it's dogshit and i only played it cause i fell for the memes and discussion on here, i enjoyed my time with the fans but the game is atrocious >deadlockGood fun movment and gameplay but unbalanced as shit >darkest dungeon A horrible stressful experience, 10/10 would play again

>>746461585no it's fucking horrible and buying straight into top tier is the best way to get raped to hell and back and end up with a 0.04 K/Dbuy premium account time instead if you REALLY want to play the game (i advise against it)oh yeah also grind out planes, unless you want to end up like the poor motherfuckers in vid rel
>>746445385My most played is monster hunter but I no longer have fun anymore. The most I do is walk around the maps and take screenshots. The seikrets are fun to ride and I like coral highlands. Sometimes I just want to stand in yukumo. Next is rimworld, I just lose entire days trying to manage my base full of moyo pussy.

>3000 hours in tf2dont play this game ever
>>746451219Hours?
Genuine question to anyone who has over 1,000 hours in a single game: At a certain point, does it become a part of your lifestyle? Like do you wake up knowing that you're probably gong to spend a portion of the day playing that game? I mainly ask because for me gaming has always been a spontaneous thing.
>>746445385Rocket League is a game that i fucking hate but play every day. 10/10 would recommend.
>>746464316Yes - especially if it is a social thing re: the method to hang out with your friends. Thats how it was for me and probably will continue to be
>>746445385I have 1000 hours on Retroarch, but that is multiple games.
>>746463316thisgame is dead and valve pretty much fucked everything good about the game
>>746464316I have over 1k in morrowind, I install it every few years and do a "complete" playthrough again because for some reason I enjoy doing the same seyda neen quests and starting dungeon and all that shit. Only in my last two playthroughs did I even bother with some mods so I can imagine I will put in 2k more throughout my life. It's the only game that has the effect on me
>>746464316Im >>746459732Yes. It kind of felt like work sometimes, but the pain was worth the reward of the shiny or the ribbon or whatever. I dont regret the time I put in into Pokemon I still have right now but a lot of it ended up being wasted. A lot of my playtime is sort of idle though, I'd play while watching a show or browsing 4chan.
>>746445385About 4 finished playthroughs (5? Trying to remember based on the stars) on ps2 and twice more on 3DS.
I’ve clocked in over 800 hours in Super Mario Odyssey because I just love the movement in that game.
>RuneScape 2/3Don’t. Please. Dont
>The Kingdom of Loathing23 years of one-off mechanics with bespoke interactions and code that not even the devs remember the details of. So there's an endless supply of things you can learn to get a little better at the game. Now I think of it it's similar to Isaac in that regard, which is my second-most-played. Maybe that's my type.At a certain point you may spend longer looking at a spreadsheet and writing scripts than playing the actual game though, so be warned.
>>746445385witcher 3 good, you play now.
>>746465357It only ok.Ubislop.Ciri fist fight climate change at the end. Dumb.
>>746465485fuckin retard
>>746445385>Warframe There's a ton of frames and weapons and you make individual builds for all of them. I'm autistic and this is crack to me.
>>746465485>Ciri fist fight climate change at the end.What?
>>746466557he's american, he doesn't know a thing about european myths like The Wild Hunt.
>>746464316Yeah, honestly I'm not happy about it but my life is fucked beyond repair and I ran out of other games to play while I'm waiting to die.
>>746445385I am not going to sell you on League man
>>746460498Another anon said the same, what's up with this game sincerely? I can't pick the one with the tank battles and have fun? I thought about trying it, or is it world of tank? Any game with slow technical tank gameplay will do.
>>746466557Ok so the world is gonna freeze so Ciri travels to another universe and finds a snowstorm and that saves the world for some reason.>>746466590It's almost as if the story should be a part of the experience.Go figure.
>>746460595>they don't know I'm neutered
>>746465357sloppy slop
Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic.I play for the moment where everyone clicks.Where you don't even need to type something in chat to cooperate.Beautiful feeling.
>>746448359Social media before social media, but it was a fantasy game too

>>746466793It is part of the experience. You decided to ignore that story and interpret it as climate change because you've been bred to be as ignorant as possible.
>>746468093I'll start a new playthrough after 1.7 drops.
>>746445385Destiny 2, it has more players than Marathon.
>>746468093>TURN IT INTO A PROFITABLE THINGLol, you could only have like a single 3x3 plot for crops and make your farm profitable with that.
>>746468214same, I'm repressing myself from playing because I always go for a perfection run and stop when I achieve it
>>746468168But that's what it is?The climate changes and it gets too cold to live, and this happens in every dimension hence why they want Ciri because she is from a bloodline who can open portals and escape before this happens and conquer a new planet to live on like hermit crabs.
>>746468385Yeah you don't want to get caught in the middle of a playthrough when the patch drops.
>>746445385FFXIV probably isn't worth picking up in 2026. You'll be stuck at low levels with gimped abilities during the good parts.
Dominions is like playing a combo of Warhammer tabletop and D&D with a unique enough mythology/historical based setting to not just be a Tolkien ripoff and multiplayer is some of the most fun mindfuckery you can engage with
i got whiplash when it was brand new in 1996 and i am still playing it
>>746445385For Honor is a genuine one of a kind game. If you like it there's nowhere else to go.

>>746445385Civilization 5. Don't play it, it will ruin your life.
>>746468879It's not worth playing because it's hundreds of hours of filler dialogue and fetch quests. Only 10% of the game is worth playing and it's mostly the dungeons/overworld exploration. Which other games do better.
>>746445612
>>746468759now you're just being retarded on purpose.
>>746466490Warframe does feel like a chore sometimes, but there is always new stuff to grind for. I have over 3000 or 4000 hours in it, but I can’t remember which it is. I’ve been playing since 2019, I think. Also, I like girls with penises.
>>746445385Nuclear Throne, very good game feel and sound design, it’s very arcadey in the sense you don’t need some crazy build or meta unlockables to get to the final stage, and the game just repeats constantly until you die, so the fun is trying to get as high a score as you canWhen you get to the final stage the game resets on a different loop with more enemiesEach character feels fun to play too, and there’s 2 different unlockable skins for each so some stuff you can aim towards outside of just getting high scores
>>746464316I've played Empyrion for over 1k hours. I use it as a creative outlet. I build spaceships I never use, almost using the game like a 3d modeling software, where my creations can instantly come to life. The huge amount of block shapes, and the fact that you can apply different textures and colors to each individual facet of each block makes it more creatively satisfying to play than similar games, like spengies. The rest of the game is just ok, but the combination of the INSANE scale of the game with the incredibly slick building and painting/texturing system has kept me coming back for over a decade. (I play with the reforged eden 2 mod, 100% an upgrade over base empy)
>>746451039I like roadcraft instead because I'm a fan of terraforming for a meaningful purpose, and most times in snowrunner all I'm thinking is "this road is fucking aids and I wish I could just do deliveries here to have the place restored"The fulfillment in roadcraft to have something actually built and persistent is great, but the process can be big time aids sometimes, when sand flattening keeps leaving creases or when you're trying to smoothen the tarmac on a ramp and it refuses to even out for some godforsaken reasonIn that sense, I also loved the terraforming in wurm and the sense of leaving my small footprint in the world, but the game is actively anti QoL because the jank is supposed to be the "soul" of this oldass game and I'm glad I'm done with my own project. Sometimes I long to go back and make another road or a bridge, or improve the lands around my base, but then I remember how ass the game actually is
>>746445385>Half-LifeIts the single greatest video game ever made, and Valve frequently gives it away for free.
>>746470302>made by saber too>heavy duty construction vehicles / terraforming gameplay Why didn't I hear about it? /v/'s allergic to games that look like german simulators? Your job's only to patch up sites? You don't travel and do deliveries once the map is "fixed"?
>>746445385You make the number go up to 99 until you max all your skills. 92 is only half of 99 btw.
im looking for a good game to play bros. The only games i liked this year are endocopia and mortal shell 2, any tips on underrated gemmies?
>>746470845You do have some delivery quests, but the game is mainly about retoring the terrain yourself by pouring industrious amounts of sand with a shitty dump truck for ages until the game dignifies itself into giving you and ok one (unless you buy DLC of course) there's also a thing about replacing broken pipes and other broken gizmos with new ones with the cranes, and collecting the leftover garbage (with a crane as well) like barrels and such to clean up the place. This time around though, you cant chain winch vehicles, and in fact only scout/rescue vehicles get to winch at all, outside cranes that can outright lift vehicles too, given that they're strong enough to lift that current vehicleIt's pretty fun, but the process is intentionally frustrating so you pay for DLC vehicles with better capabilities
>>746448359It felt like what I imagine crack must feel like. WoW was the game that pushed a lot of people from part time casual to full time hardcore gamers and it's hard to come back from that. WoW elitism is one hell of a drug.
>>746470302>>746470845https://youtu.be/IolHQoQso0cLol it's the dream of 90s kids playing construction lego sets. Again weird how I never saw it on /v/.
uhhh it's fun & there's alot of stuff to do....
>>746471121Well aren't modders fixing the game's stupidity already? SnowRunner has mods so I take it this one is mods friendly too.
>>746471247I only skimmed the mods for this ages ago and all I saw was instant gratification/turn all vehicles op/ remove all restrictions kind of mods and didnt bother to look furtherSomething to double sand capacity and dozer/roller range would be great but all I saw was instawin stuff
>>746469941Grinding sucks senpai, especially grinding just to unlock more grinding Also those girls dont have penises
>>746445385I have like 2,200 hours in Warframe. I really don't know why, i genuinely wish it were a sweatier game with actually challenging endgame content, i've long since gotten to the point where the game's selection of mods far outscale what any enemy in the game can do. But i find myself logging in when i can't think of anything else to play.
>>746470212Huh that looks pretty cool. Is there an actual game to play or is it just a spaceship maker?
>>746445385I probably wasted the most hours on League of Legends. I wouldn't recommend it.On the other hand I did spend the most hours on TF2 if Steam is anything to go by, and I don't think there's anything as fun as it in the long run on the market.>9 classes with solidly distinct playstyles>loads of loadout options to customize each class with>tons and tons of maps and gamemodes>big community scene that adds even more maps and new server mods, at least two gamemodes in TF2 were community gamemodes (Versus Saxton Hale and Zombie Fortress)>you can leave the match any time without a problem>big servers with a lot of players by default, community servers can get to 50v50 and beyondYou would expect more games that try to do the things that TF2 did but they didn't copy shit. I could say the only thing they took from it was the lootbox model (minus the keys) but frankly they copied Valve's other games for that.It's a casual multiplayer game where you can have fun with other players and have a decent amount of freedom in what you want to do and how you want to contribute. To how many modern versus games does THAT apply?
>>746464316usually what happens is i'll get addicted to the game in question and over the course of whatever amount of time i am basically indulging in on and off binge periods lasting a week or a month each time
>>746471670Yeah I'm in the same boat, it long ago stopped being remotely challenging but there really isn't another game like it that I could be moving on to.
>>746472164Yeah... someday perhaps.
>>746445385it's shit. don't play it
>>746470506You have a single player fps as your most played game? How many times have you gone through it?
>>746445385DRG, its fucking kino and there are lots of builds and way to play the game, mods and extra difficulties and playing with randoms is great and funnyI got 2500 hours in, and paid less than 10 bucks for that gameI wish the devs fixed all the bugs and unbalance issues, but I guess they wanted more shekels, fuck pozzed core
>>746472252I don't even know. I've played through both the steam and non-steam versions, the PS2 version, multiple mods.
>>746445385I wasted half of my teenage years playing TF2 and I would gladly do it again.
>>746471951>In terms of gameplay, it's a lot like 7 days to die, except with starships and hovercraft. >There's survival mode, and creative mode like minecraft>Survival involves different start scenarios, ranging from crash landing on paradisaical planets, to starting with nothing on a planet that would cook you alive and no breathable atmosphere.>There are POI's full of nightmare meat monsters, hostile aliens with guns and robots, or trade stations with a barter system.>Voxel terrain deformation, with destructible everything, like red faction.>Multiplayer is just survival mode, but with a server full of people, and advanced resources strategically placed for pvp.I could go on and on. It's worth trying out, the beginning can be rough but try to get a warp capable ship built and it'll grow on you.
>>746445385add another 1k hours on console. paladins was and is better than overwatch
>>746469565What the hell mods are you playing that take 46 inputs? At that point, it's time to stop.
>>746472913Also at that point, just stick a couple cargo wagons on the side and shove all materials into them and then use green inserters to insert into the assembler
>>746445385>Space Station 13It's gone, but a memory of a distant past. I wouldn't wish even my worst enemy to play what remains.
My most played game is my job
>>746472913That was just a proof of concept for a thread, to consider that you could fit that many inputs into a regular assemblerIf we take into consideration bigger machines like foundries, the number of possible inputs skyrockets as wellCould be used to make some sort of ultimate singularity kind of item in game or something, I dont know, I would personally automate that through trains instead
>>746473264Would you recommend it?
>>746445385It's good
>>746464316>At a certain point, does it become a part of your lifestyle?Gaming is already a part of my lifestyle, the game in question doesn't particularly matter as long as I'm enjoying it.
>>746445385>factorioDesigning nice things is nice, the gameplay is a million little puzzle minigames, creativity and a little preserverance is what you need to winDon't listen to the idiots who tell you how to play, experimentation is keyThere's thousands of hours of shit to do, thousands more with mods, the UI is really tight, and the sprites and animations are gorgeous
Yugioh Master Duel. I just like making and playing different decks and I don't have to pay anything to do it. Konami was really dumb when they set the monetization for it.
>>746472683Also, if you choose to try the reforged eden 2 mod on the workshop, you can access it by selecting the "scenarios" option in the single player menu, or by just installing it and joining a server.When you start out in survival, you'll almost certainly need to shoot giant bugs and dinosaurs with a 9mm; grill their meat for food.

>>746448359There was like Everquest and Ultima Online before WoW, I remember my uncle played Ultima, but WoW was the first time that an MMO was mainstream. I played PSO prior to WoW, so the concept wasn't completely new to me, but WoW was "basically" the first time you ever played an online game with other players, and it wasn't just like an shooter, it was also an RPG where you had character progression and could do dungeons with friends. Or you could even make new friends, because it was all basically a new concept to everyone, and because fast travel and dungeon queues weren't a thing yet, and traveling anywhere took 10+ minutes of real world time, and there weren't "layers" like there are now, so you'd see the same people over and over again and you'd befriend them and learn who was good and who was bad, or you'd even see people who used to be trash and then a couple weeks or months later, they're pretty decent now, and you remember when they were noobs. Then there's also the fact that this was back in the early internet, so people hadn't yet optimized the fun out of video games, so you could just play the game and have fun and not worry about being "optimal" because barely anyone was worried about being optimal. Shit, just the simple act of having all of your abilities keybound made you automatically better than like 50% or more of all players, because a lot of people were still keyboard turners, that's how noob everyone was. And your internet sucked, and your computer sucked, and so did everyone else's, and all the healers in your guild were just the guild officer's irl girlfriends, and stuff like that. Real girls played the game, like half my guild raid was real girls. And then there were realm forums, and you could talk shit to other people and then duel them to settle it and stuff like that. It was just a much simpler and much happier time. You had to be there. "Classic" WoW can never be actual 2004 vanilla WoW.

>>746466792It's just an insane grind fest that has become horrifically bloated, woefully unbalanced, and pay to grind a little lessEarly game starts out fun enough but before you know it you'll end up being farmed by overpowered vehicles, oftentimes that were limited edition and now only available for hundred of dollarsAnd then you'll learn that there are whole tech lines of completely worthless vehicles which you'll have to spend your time grinding out anyway due to the game requiring X amount of vehicles in a specific tier purchased before moving into the next tierAnd then on top of that you'll have any remaining fun ruined by Chinese cheaters who are simultaneously unable to score a single kill as your teammates and kill your entire team single handedly as enemies, despite the fact that they have their own Chinese servers to ruin and shouldn't even be on the one you're playing
>>746445385World of Warcraft. To this day I still find out about new things and get to try out classes. Also dungeons and questing.Fallout 2 and New Vegas. Never getting tired of those 2 because of sheer amount of fun I'd have trying out new builds and ways to play.>>746448359I'm zoomer myself and came to WoW late (around WoD time). I like it for the sense of adventure and contents. The game almost feels like real places at times because the soundtrack and designs are always sensible and fun. The game is fun but addictive so you have to put up boundaries or else you'll get burned out.Used to play retail a lot but now I stick to private servers because to me WoW ended with Legion.

>>746451219is this xiv? If it is I don't even recognize it
>>746464316Games have been exploiting addiction inducing techniques for decades now. Daily quests/login rewards, so you make a habit of starting the game every day, and time limited shit to induce FOMO being the more obvious ones. The one I play uses both of those and has some absurdly long grinds for cosmetics (which I must grind because they are there). On a normal day I spend maybe half an hour, but when one of the frequent special events are active I can spend an hour or two. Or 6+ if one of the rare events are active.t ~3000 hours surrounded by sexo monkes
>>746445385Super Smash Brothers Ultimate is Fortnite but done wellImagine being Ryu from street fighter fighting against Terry from fatal furyOr Sonic vs MarioOr Pacman vs MegamanThe meta is also interesting, despite havung a low skill ceiling, this allows the game to feel like some sort of RTA 2d platformer game, the more strategic player wins, no other game has this, fighting games demand mechanical skill, Smash Ultimate demands your mind, your head, your ability to cheese in the most efficient way

only ~30 people have actually finished the base game challenges, I'm 4k hours in so it might take another 1k to finish all diamonds.
I don't know what my most played game across all time actually is but on Steam I have the most hours on Skyrim and I'm sure no one here has played it and already formed an opinion. For me though, no matter what anyone says, it's probably my favourite game ever. It might not be the best game I've played, but I do think it's my favourite. I love the music, the atmosphere, the cold feeling I have when I'm in Winterhold and the warmth inside when I enter The Frozen Hearth. It's in the way I have so many mods, to make whatever character I want and play them any way I like, the stories that come from playing and the experiences I've had throughout a decade and a half of playing Skyrim. You know I got this game on launch day on 360? I think I've bought it 5 times in total. So really it probably is my most played...
>>746462329I hate that high tier vehicles are just a way to make some points to spawn an aircraft. I just want to play tanks for fucks sake, not get farmed by some complete and utter no lifing faggot CAS bitch
>>746475120genuinely how do you resist the urge to kill yourself?
>>746448359it was extra magical for me since I played the warcraft games and other MMOs prior. nothing comes close to it in the genre. hopefully GW3 does something for me, if not ill just have to proclaim the genre's death as a shitpost for another 5 years (i will not play XIV)
>>746484786>I think I've bought it 5 times in total.Glad to hear that, anon.
Im autistic but Ive never played the same game for over like a month.
>>746445385Total War: RomeYou can conquer the known world for Rome.
>>746485334Y-you're welcome... it's been my pleasure!
>>746483580I don't get how you guys get addicted to that stuff. Even with a game that really suits my tastes, the gacha mechanics eventually wear me down. Haven't logged in for half a year and I'm missing out on a cutie dark elf, but memories of the unpleasant gacha mechanics overshadow the fomo by a long shot.
>>746448359mmos were cool in the 90s and early 2000s because they were basically chatrooms where you could hang out with your friends and meet new people. sometimes you explored zones and did quests, sometimes you just shot the shit in orgrimmar/stormwind/wherever, and every once in a while you got to do a dungeon, but the main thing was just socializing. live internet chat still felt novel to a lot of people, even if stuff like irc had already been around for years.it wasnt like it is now where so many people seem to play solely for carrot on a stick progression shit, to the point where both the players and the devs have forgotten that the progression wasnt originally the main draw.this is also why all the attempted nostalgia farms like eq classic, wow classic, etc end up falling flat. everyone homes in on recreating the "gameplay content" while ignoring the thing that actually made those games feel the way they did in the first place: the socializing.
>>746448359The wonk and clunk. No one knew what works and what doesn't, including devs themselves. Even if there was a meta, there was no centralised structure to disseminate nor did players bothered to make it so. At best, we had stuff like Thottbot and Allakhazam which were only as good as the casual contributors.This state of things resulted in game having a wild west-like feel and made the world feel organic. Because there was no centralised structures or meta obsession, realm communities formed organically and ever realm had its own flavour, heroes, villains, lore, attitude, vibe and everything. No one was fully validated but more importantly, NO ONE WAS FULLY INVALIDATED. We could have stupid shit like "How to Paladin" featuring blood elf named Shepiwot where most of his videos were him spamming /dance and consecrate with One Piece OST playing in the background. We could have paladins like Hobbs whose sole fame gimmick was running everyone through SM. We could have Menace of Menethil like Agwe who turned ganking into career. Oxhorn, Zinwrath, I could go on. People actually roleplayed in a roleplaying game, imagine that.
>>746445385is that a boy?
>>746464316Yes. I have 1k+ in several games. Almost all of them are some variation of 'guy with gun shoots at other guys with guns'. I like strategy, tactics, and practical problem solving and there is no more pure a form of it than someone trying to kill you while you try to kill them, on a relatively even playing field.I've been doing this and similar adjacent activities for over 25 years. This is how I spend my time, money, and energy. This shit is who I am. Zero ragerts.
>>746445385I'd sell you on it if there was a way to go back to PSO2 JP ~EP3 again, but alas. Tears in rain. I regret failing to appreciate more of its content while I still could.Nowadays my autism just tells me to take care of my backlog. I might dump 200h+ into a game that has enough shit to do for that long but haven't found one I'd like to play indefinitely. Never saw the appeal in the ugly autism sandboxes like rimworld either.
>>746485576The difference here (I assume) is that your game has additional non-cosmetic mtx that costs real money and is balanced around having said mtx plus frequently spending additional real money on it. My sexo monke game isn't balanced around having certain mtx and the only other things for sale is cosmetics and consumables you can't use in any mode that matters. The mtx does make the cosmetic grind less tedious, mind you."gacha" implies frequent borderline mandatory additional real money spending, if you want to make the game tolerable and/or keep up/be competitive. Often rng based. If that's not what you meant then don't call it gacha.yes this is also a monkey, of the mermonkey variety
>>746485769>and ever realm had its own flavour, heroes, villains, lore, attitude, vibe and everythingI still think about Yngwe and Fancy (of everquest fame) some times.
>warthunderit's shit, never get sucked into any f2p grindfest sloppa games

>beatmania iidxi have over ten thousand hours in this. the skill growth potential is enormous. the music is great. the timing windows are tight. it filters normies and xplay gave it a bad review. the great granddaddy of rhythm games and still the best after nearly 30 years.
>>746485769>NO ONE WAS FULLY INVALIDATEDSpreadsheeting WoW was the first nail in the fun coffin.Now every item is normalized (stats and weapon damage) so whiny babies don't cry if they don't get the super-rare weapon. Getting the ridiculous weapons was a big part of the appeal of raiding.If you actually got Sulfuras, you DESERVE to delete people. It took 39 other people weeks of clearing MC even after you got the heart to make the Sulfuron Hammer. Their collective will (and love for you) gave you that fucking weapon, it's time to bust heads with it. That's what fun is.Spending 30 hours making your ilvl go up by 9 is fucking dullsville. It's just drudgery like leveling up Disgaea troops.
>>746445385TF2 is the funnest multiplayer shooter ever created. I generally jump between many games and genres as opposed to sticking to one thing but this is the only thing that's kept me playing for ages.Despite the game currently being in a horrible state, it is still miles above any other multiplayer shooter and no other game will come close to having everything this game has.

>>746450883Hard agreeI got into TF2 around the gun mettle update so I had only a year of experiencing quickplay before Meet Your Match got rid of it. I didn't know at the time but I was playing at the twilight of TF2's glory days. Kept playing though and racked up 3.5k hours, mostly in community trade servers when they were still active players just pissing around because casual sucks ass. Jungle Inferno was the only Major Update I get to live through, then the lack of updates came and I slowly lose interest but play it from time to time because I only had a shitty laptop that can play a handful of F2P games. I still play TF2 on rare occasions if I just want to just chill around in pub servers because nowadays it's impossible to find a unique multiplayer FPS game where you can just dick around most of the time.I don't know how I got into TF2, nor do I remember why I stuck with it but I can say I had a great time with it.

>>746483580I don't know if bloons is in the same boat considering it really does try to "give you something to do". At least multiplayer games as well have the randomness of real people. To me real addiction is knowing that is exactly the same as before and still doing it over and over.
