No games really hold my interest anymore. I'm usually down for the ride until I die a couple times in a row then I'm like ehhhhh and just cycle through other stuff that I'll probably never get around to finishing. I think Life is Strange was the only game I actually completed this year. In conclusion, I think I am finally getting too old for games.

This is substantially a result of there being simply too many good, decent and great games easily available such that it's really quite impossible to play them all. It's the "paradox of choice" situation where awareness of the opportunity cost of playing any one game (in terms of all the other games you COULD be playing) diminishes the value of that particular game you're playing in your eyes.

also possibly you're getting too old for video games.

it's weird; star citizen and everything to do with it is a hilarious dumpster fire but there is way too much thread to read because there's a community of weird obsessive nerds who make fifty posts a day about one thing they don't like and follow every single piece of news related to it

the object of ridicule is legitimately funnier than the xbone or bioware games or most of the other stuff goons have done that with tho

In the end they're going to say the only reason Star Citizen never came out is because people didn't give Chris Roberts enough money.

There are probably two or three people in the SC thread who are still saulty about spending hundreds if not thousands on imaginary ships who still watch stupid dev streams or whatever. Then there's Derek Smart being Derek Smart and goons mostly try to keep this force of nature in check. Everything else is just feel-good shitposting and funny pictures. The best way to enjoy it I find is to check once a day for the funnies and post nonsense. :gary:

Well, it was a MORAL CHOICE -- you can either tell your son to gently caress his teacher (because she is failing him as revenge for no longer sleeping with her) or go gossip with people and thus find out she murdered her baby brother when she was younger so you can blackmail her
While I am disappointed at the lack of murder given it is, you know, a Desperate Housewives game, I am pleased that there is an effective blackmail option with a murderous backstory.

I think I'm just getting too impatient to deal with the RPG infodump crap anymore. If the game's plot doesn't grip me within the first hour or I can't play it in 20 minute bursts and feel accomplished then I just kinda zone out and lose any motivation to continue. Indie games have opened my eyes to stories about gay teenagers being way more interesting than anything in the Witcher.

I actually like The Witcher 3 because it doesn't follow a standard "epic" fantasy story, and it's actually a pretty low-stakes, personal narrative.


It is definitely long as poo poo though.

My problem with The Witcher 3 is the combat is terrible and 50 hours in with no end in sight I just lost the will to keep hacking through waves and waves of trash mobs

The story was pretty interesting, just a shame about everything else around it

I bought a 17 cent game in the steam sale named Out There Somewhere. It's a pretty fun puzzle platformer where you have a teleport gun that teleports you to wherever it hits.

It's only like an hour long but hey, it cost less than a gumball.

Started playing Dragon Age 2 today. Why did it get such a bad rep? The lack of racial diversity/origins is kind of uncool, but man the combat is way more fun and rewarding.

The enemy encounters are riddled with giant trash mobs pretty much the entire way through and it's just incredibly boring. Also the environments look horrible.

Like I generally dislike rt+p games so I may not be the best judge (I dislike Baldurs Gate combat, for instance) but even then DA2 combat seemed noticeably monotonous
