What are your vidya-related regrets?
I don't regret buying a PS3 but I wish I didn't miss out on Halo 3.
>>750237760Playing them at all. Imagine how much better the life would be for everyone here if they never played vidya.>b-b-but I would have done something useless>muh fun isn't time wastedCope.
I once jerked off to K.Rool
not upgrading my pc while I still had money
>>750237760Heaps of games I bought at full MSRP
>>750238450>muh fun isn't time wastedCorrect.
>>750238514Only once? Or is this some kind of Mitch Hedberg "I used to do drugs. I still do but I used to, too" joke?
>>750238593>Bought a new PC about two weeks before RAM went straight to the fucking moon.I'm not mocking you I'm terrified, I feel like if I did mock you my PC would explode. I don't think it's going to get better any time soon either. I think we're just kind of fucked.
>>750237760Ever enjoying them

>>750237760I could have got into making video games at a relatively good time for it but guessed things would go to shit about ten years too early so I went into a completely different area of work (social service)I get paid less than I probably would have done but on the flipside with how much the world's going to shit I have about as good job security as I ever could. Might have been nice to have my very generic name on some credits before western studios began to massively outsource and collapse.
Kinda wish I played runescape back in the day, or even during the covid boom. Feels too late now to try it.
>>750238834If AI companies can keep from collapse til Trump leaves office, at the very least we won't have to tank the entire US economy to bail them out, and then RAM will go back to seminormal prices in a few years Not TDS btw, the guy is just a little too excited about putting the US dollar on the back of AI
>>750237760BRUH
How much money I've put into TF2.probably five digits
>>750239023Yeah sure, but on between being overdue for carrington event II, everyone knowing where all the cool internet cables are and half a dozen other things I've ended up going full on doom and gloom. Very sad, hope to be a wrong idiot and bright times are ahead. I don't think so.
>>750239047People spend similar numbers on insane hobbies that they enjoyed.You did enjoy it, right? RIGHT?
>>750237760Have a few:>Bought Starfield on Launch thinking "worst case scenario, it's Fallout 4 in space". It was significantly worse than Fallout 4 in space>Bought Crimson Desert a couple of days after launch because I generally like sandboxy games, only to find the most "puddle-deep" game I have ever seen>Was tricked by the general online discourse into thinking No Man's Sky was fixed. Bought it, only to sink 50 hours trying to find whatever people thought was good about it>Didn't buy the GPU I wanted just before the prices went crazy
>>750239023He's fucking up quite a lot this term, had high hopes when he had Maduro spirited away and brought to justice but then he decided to mess with iran hoping the people would rise up but didn't even have the courtesy of smuggling weapons for them to start a regime change. Now he started shit he can't end because even if he gets approval from congress for a full scale invasion the moment footage of americans getting drone dropped hits the internet it would end the career of anyone who approved it
>>750238450>Imagine how much better the life would be for everyone here if they never played vidyaNewfag....
>>750237760I paid full price for Marvel Nemesis, Rise of the Imperfects.
>>750239407After he fucked up the Epstein files it seems like he and Vance just plain don't give a shit anymore.
>>750238269Just played H3 campaign for the first time, it was total and utter dogshit the entire game. Literally the same music the whole game. Arbiter levels in H2 are SOVL in comparison to how 3 is just a trite, bumbling, lazy slog. Not a single brite spot. Literally everything dumbed down to have no meaning. Every level is the same design, a hallway inside or outside. All forerunner interiors reduced to two rooms. Zero opportunity to get lost. Backtracking for pure filler. Just uninspired at every moment it isn't wholly derivative. Not a moment of wonder. Your time was surely much better spent in Vince's COD4.
I regret not trying different genres when I was younger
>>750239523A pity really but not unexpected, a lot of jews have their hands in that pie and Trump loves his jew masters.
>>750239587Halo 3 shows how passionately the Dev team wanted to finish the series on Halo 2. Ain't fuckin shit going on 3 and the few times there is anything happening it's a near beat for beat redo of a setpiece from 1 and 2
>>750238593I sure am glad I bought a 5080 on release date, though I would have been even happier if I had gotten a 5090 founders edition instead.
>>750239346>Bought it, only to sink 50 hours trying to find whatever people thought was good about itIf you didn't find it in the first 10 hours then you should've stopped there.
>>750238450>buh wut if I didn’t vidyaYou’d still be a bored and boring retard, you just wouldn’t have toys or you’d have different toys. The will to better your life doesn’t arise from a lack of distractions.
>>750239407He's fucking up a lot during this term because he's a moron. He realized he had competent people during his first term, who actually got shit done but wouldn't buckle to his retardation, so he got rid of them. Now he surrounds himself with sycophants who sign off on all the nutty shit.Even if you're MAGA, you have to admit the guy isn't bright, he never was, he just happened to have really competent people around him until they told him "No".
>>750239736At the time I was told "It gets better as you play", and I find that to be true for a handful of games that I do love, so I kinda psyched myself into giving it more and more and more timeShould also note that the 50 hours include times I came back to it after some "brand new game changing updates" that didn't fix the fact that the game is just boring
>>750239835I voted him in twice and while I don't regret it, I'm prone to agree
>>750239835I'm starting to think Putin does have dirt on him, Reagan must be spinning in his grave knowing a republican president is buddies with a fucking kgb agent.
>>750239154I was hopeful that a sun fart would actually do something interesting but we're already past the solar activity maximum. It can still happen any time but activity has died way down compared to earlier this year and late last year afaik. There were some crazy flares and ejections that could have fucked us way up but missed earth.
>>750237760I bought a game shilled on /v/
Buying James Bond. What garbage that game is. IOI's worst, by far.
>>750237760Not keeping my friend groups alive from the Halo days.Not using microphones more when people still used them.Playing too much video games and not creating enough in return.
>>750237760not keeping my old consoles is a big onedropping series I like and have got back into to see I still like them
>>750239346people talk about astroturfed games but crimson desert had an insane defense force before the game even came out, really fucked up perceptions of the game
I regret selling a game, and not buying a ps vita earlier than I did
>>750237760buying BG3. The only saving grace my friend I lended game to enjoyed it
>>750240148I don't know, I lean 50/50 on it.I read a think piece a while back on how every major fuck-up is easily explained if you assume he's a russian op. But I also think he's genuinely that stupid to do what he's doing, and I don't think the people who used to keep him in check are there to stop him anymore, so he's just doing whatever he wants. I'm frankly more concerned about what happens to the republican party after he's gone, because this circus surely can't keep going after him
>>750237760>all of those games I traded/sold to Gamestop for dollarsI really should've listened to my parents about how they were scamming me.
Buying DNF Duel, a barebones ass fighting game that costed me a full price $59.99 dollarydoos. Fully convinced me that fighting games are a pirate and play local only genre. Fighting games are NOT worth $40 let alone the double that they ask for nowadays (for standard edition and half the roster locked behind dlc btw). Legitimately will never spend money on a new fighting game for as long as I live because of that piece of shit ripoff game. I wish ArcSys got shut down after Bioware but that'll never happen because they're bankrolled by ironic weebs that watch that jew Maxdood
>>750238450>wake up at 1amwhat do you do if you cant play videogames
>>750241435is masturbating a video game?
>>750237760D4 boughtered all the expacs and then the rugpull, at blizzcon no less.Starlink on switch, got baited by fox and co. :(.The last one i’d say double dipping on sfvi on xbox sex, in the end i sold that pos and kept my gool old pc
>>750237760I wish I knew about the games I like now when I was younger and had more free time to enjoy them.For example, I love the SMT games, but I didn't get into them until I became an adult. Looking back, I would have had way more fun playing SMTIV than some of the junk I bought back then.
>>750237760Wii U3DS3DS XL
>>750237760not playing more my nintendo gameboy advance sp, problem is that my dad in the 2000s bought me the ps2 and psp pretty close than my sp, i would just abandoned it in a humid place and when i saw it it was all the screen green hard to open and obvious would not turn on, now i have it just there to reminds me the stupid i was
>>750237760I didn't buy a spare N3DSXL, which I almost did a few times back when the stores were selling them at cut-rate to clear the final inventory. I still use mine and if it shits the bed I have no recourse but to pay what-the-fuck prices for a replacement.
>>750237760having been a Snoyfag for 20 years.
>>750241018same
>>750241237fighting games as a whole are really fuckedas they are now, they rely entirely on being monetized in a way that everyone hates in other genres but screams for in fighting gamesfighting game fags are like the ultimate paypigs
>>750241018I remember my sister tried to trade a GBA game (I think it was a Winx Club game) and the EB Games employee said it was worth 25 cents. My mom yelled at him over how she spent way more for it. This was over 20 years ago I still feel bad for him.
spending 4000 hours+ playing dota and maybe 500 playing lol when I was youngerI don't mind the 2000 hours I have now on Deadlock because my life is over at 40, with no kids no house and no future.But I regret the ones spend when I was young, mobile, driven and adventurous
I backed Mighty No. 9. I was even in the forums when the Dina Disaster incident happened. I was still really "blue pilled" back in the day, so I thought her acting crazy and flagrantly disrespectful would have clearly been an issue, so I decided to wait diligently for the Mr. Inafune-san to say something on the issue. A few weeks later, I started to slowly figure out that nothing was coming and this was the norm. However, I then also learned I was 2 weeks out from how far my bank would allow me to issue a charge back. So I got scammed, then doublescammed myself waiting for someone to do the right thing. Then more and more shit kept coming out, and that was when all of the leftist freaks started to shit over everyone for "hating women," and more clues about how much of a scam came out, etc, etc. By the time the game was getting published, they actually asked me for more money for the backer tier I had pledged. I was basically so mind-raped at this point that I just fucking gave them the money instead of arguing with them cause I just "wanted to get this over." Then before my actual USB stick came in, I was so numb that I just threw it in a drawer and completely forgot about it until two years ago where I tried to actually boot it up. It didn't run well and nobody else had troubleshooting info on the stand-alone USB stick version, so I had no idea what to do with it.I finally tried it again like 2 months ago and for some reason it just werked on my new PC enough that I was able to complete the game. Man it was garbage. I know a lot of people like to say "oh actually it was okay just not a good-" nah, fuck that. It really was just a very below-average Inticreates game that played and felt awful.Luckily all my other regrets are just D&D related, so I can cope and blame the other people there.
>>750247160>Then before my actual USB stick came in,*I saw reviews of people playing it basically confirming it was as shit as the commercials made it look.
>>750237760convincing myself that i super duper really like fighting games and need good "equipment" to play themi've spent way too much money on sticks and leverless controllers only to barely use themi think i still like fighting games, but i really don't play them enough to justify anything more than one specific controllerat least i can sell them on marketplaces etc. to recoup
>>750247258Why do you have this gif saved, do you like seeing animals suffer?
>>750247332it's obviously just a puppy being forced to take medicine that probably tastes gross
>>750240531I think it just comes down to the fact that they know how to make hype trailers, at least imo. Some of those Lost Ark trailers looked really cool and exciting for its time too. Then the game turned out to be so bad.
I should've chased my dream vidya dev projects in the early to mid-2010s because I was from Toby Fox's neck of the woods and, if people liked my output, just being in the splash zone would have probably been insane free exposure. Nowadays the thought of being a public-facing person just sounds like torment though so maybe I dodged a bullet, and that's the blue moon scenario where I didn't churn out asinine pretentious dogshit like it likely would've been because early-20s me was a dork and my ideas back then were extremely fucking gay.
>>750237760Probably buying a PS5 because a year later I got the Switch 2 and every game I care about is coming to the Switch 2.
>>750237760Not downloading Smash 4 on the Wii U Eshop before it shutdown, I have the Disc but my fucking Wii U won’t read it.
>>750247867You dodged a bullet, being a public figure in this day and age is hell. The money might have been nice though.
>>750248169Wii U disks are rotting like flies these days. They were not made to last. Just softmod the console like a normal person.
>>750237760not buying 32 gb of ram for $70 or another 1tb ssd for like $80
not getting into wow during it's peakidk it looked like a good time but i was a poorfag child that couldnt afford subscriptions and wouldntve been able to run it on my toaster laptop anyway also wish i got into tf2 earlier. i joined like right before it went f2p and have the shit colored mercenary badge to prove it bought a switch just for smtv and nmh3 which were both massive disappointments. ended up selling the switch after it started collecting dust
>>750237760My gift to you
>>750237760Just bought a switch 2 and pro controller, hope it's worth it.I had a dozen or so random ass games tied to my nintendo account from the switch 1 but with no console to play them.
>>750238593I got a 4070 2 years ago and I fucking thank god I did. Feels like the last possible opportunity I could have had to future proof my rig before everything shit itself
>>750237760I regret that I didn't start playing single player games sooner.
It is (or was) a fun enough game but I should not have spent so much time playing this shit
>>750237760buying a ps5I completed a grand total of two (2) exclusive games on it, everything else I have available on pc in better quality and cheaper
>>750237760crafting the dumbass headtakers axe that takes up half your screen instead of one of the hats bc i didnt have a normal eyelander at the time
>>750253160>buying a ps5Holy shit, thisthe system never really "launched"
>>750237760League of Legends. That shit stunted my growth by 8 years
>>750237760Posting on /v/
>>750241237There's no point in playing a fighting game made after 2016 or so (barring Soulcalibur 6) and all the best fighting games were made in the early to mid 2000s like Soulcalibur 2 and 3. Fighting games are dead to me.
>>750237760
>>750239835>He's fucking up a lot during this term because he's a moron.This much was obvious to anyone that remembers him fucking up and bankrupting a business selling steaks. In America. The only way to pull that off is massive levels of stupidity.
>>750237760I spent too long pirating instead of being smart and buying a game or two every sale and having a steam library I can track for years how many hours I spent in games and which I played and bought when, it'd be like a cool history/journal and I'd have a big library of titles, especially some discontinued ones that I'd love to have like original GTA Vice City instead of the shitty remasters.
Buying Killzone 3. What a shitshow that was, but KZ2 was great.Buying a PS4. I should have gotten either a R9 290 or a GTX 780 Ti, either would have been a far better buy than the PS4, but I was heavily invested in Killzone with the clan I had been playing with at the time.
playing roblox for 19 years
>>750237760I wish I had a nintendo 64 growing up
Buying One Piece World Seeker and Odyssey at full price when they came out at the time.
>buying into the meme about how cod is rigged easier when you give them money>buying payday 2 when i had a 32bit computer>dropping warframe in 2021 and getting into it now>wasting 1.5 years on a shitty mobile base builder with insane powercreep because it was sponsored>accidentally trying to kick a f2p in tf2 during the bot crisis
>>750238269im the opposite, i got a 360 as a teen for halo and gears but regretted it cuz better exclusives were on the ps3 and i missed out on killzone 2, uncharted, ratchet & clank, God of War 3, etc. Demons Souls alone shits all over the 360's library
Buying a Switch was a huge mistake. I remember a few years ago some Anon on here kept posting some list with ''great Switch exclusives'' and there was barely anything on there. Also the joycons were busted while I barely played on the dumb thing. Also i pre ordered Dynasty Warriors 9.
I had a group of gamingbros who I played with for years then fell out with them one of them transitionedNo fan of trannies but I was stupid to let that get in the way of friendship and ironically I found out eventually I agree with them on most things politically outside of gender
