>friend states he's tired of 'multiplayer slop' and Elden Ring>asks for game recommendations but doesn't want another 'souls' game or open world game, states he doesn't mind older games>suggest Sakura Wars or Shin Megami Tensei>"JRPGs are too hard">suggest Castlevania>"Nah, no 2D platformers">suggest DMC>"I will not play a hack and slash">Hitman, Deus Ex, Max Payne, Dead Rising, Contra, Serious Sam, F.E.A.R, Syphon Filter, Crash Bandicoot, Midnight Club, Shenmue, Tenchu, Eternal Darkness, etc>proceeds to say a mix of "Boring, Nah, Slop, Too hard"Okay how about you go fuck yourself and go back to CS2, Dead by Daylight and Elden Ring you cunty nigger?
>>749650517Have any of you two considered that maybe he's burnt out on vidya? He sounds like a normie, so just tell him to go camping or something.
>>749651556this, or ask him to narrow down what kind of game he actually wants to play. even if he just has a vague idea, get something to go off so you're not just tossing out random games. but yeah, he's mostly likely just burnt out.
>friends start getting tired of league>I've been tired of it for so long>let's find another game!>we look on steam, I give like 5 recommendations>reactions vary between "that looks cool" to "meh">we don't try anything else and just play league againI HATE LEAGUE BUT I STILL WANT TO HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>749650517That old quote about "gamers don't want hard games, they want games that are just hard enough to feel easy" is very real. Your friend sounds like he wrapped up too much of his ego around beating tryhard games, has participated in the infinite difficulty escalator for who knows how long, and now doesn't know what to do about finding games that might be too hard for him. And not "literally impossible" hard, just "this is too troll/dishonest/blatantly griefing to be fun" hard. Classic case of burnout.
>>749650517Castlevania is literally dark souls, he sounds like a ds3 noob ass bitch. Tell him to gitgud or stfu and give him his tampons.
>>749651556>>749651750Considering he purchased AC8 recently, I dont think it's a normie issue. Also after the game has severe flaws he is complaining about how gaming is dead, slop, etc, etc. His whole taste in vidya is just LARPing the old shit whilst playing newer stuff>>749652074Sure, but games I suggested you can beat slowly and are linear outside of a few. Serious Sam is hard, but it only takes 20 hours to beat, Max Payne in 10
>>749652556call him a larper to his face and tell him he doesn't even like video games
>>749655824Already did once a couple months, he said to stfu in quite the angry tone. But then again the faggot claimed to have liked MGS but only EVER played Delta and MGS1 on an emulator a decade ago
>>749650517He is trying to politely tell you that you have shit taste in all things video games and he doesn't want you to speak with him ever again until you improve as a person.
>>749656974Maybe recommend some shmups to him.
i hope my friend isnt tired of me
>>749650517mewgenics
She's trying to ignore it
>>749650517You'll notice that that most people aren't as open-minded as you are, and their interests are very narrow in scope. So when they get burned out on the one hobby they were into, it turns into a whole ass existential drama, because they won't get out of their comfort zone to try new things.
>>749657448I'm going to rape you Tewi>>749658980If he won't try Contra then he sure as shit won't like any shmups
>>749650517gamers only want 1 thing
>>749661275Raw breeding sex with Yukari?
>>749650517Reccommend Turok 2. If he says too hard call him a pussy. If he says boring show him this image.
>>749661587
>>749650517okay but why are you telling us this like some battered wife, why don't you just unfriend him and shut the fuck up
