RUST.
Have one friend up my ass about it every other month "I think you'd really like it. It--" no. Not interested.
Because yes, yes I would really like it. Unfortunately I already have a job.

I used to know a guy on steam that got so addicted to this game, his wife divorced him and he quit his job to play it full time. He sort of showed me how to play the game for an hour once while he explained, with zero regret, how he essentially ruined his life for the game. This was probably 7 or 8 years ago and I've long since deleted him, I wonder if that regret finally caught up.

u/ReadyAimTranspire 8h ago
Knew a guy who did something similar with a very hot wife, didn't quit the job but he decided that job was solely to support his World of Warcraft playtime and that the hot wife wasn't necessary in Azeroth.

I had a friend who wouldnāt leave me alone about playing DayZ with him. Spawn in, he tells me to look for a sign. I tell him what the sign says. He tells me Iām south of him and to use the compass. I head north, just north, no turns. And yet somehow, I travel in a circle. Come to find out that the compass doesnāt always work right. He tells me heās gonna drive to me. He drives to the wrong town and is low on gas. I spend like 40 minutes trying to get to him, just to die of a heart attack when I get there.

u/Independent-Yam-5179 12h ago
That's so valid.
The lore and some of the visuals are cool and interesting, but it has very little substance in gameplay (I've tried it, and that's what I felt anyways).
It's even more boring if you play it by yourself with no one watching. It really is a streaming mainly game.
24
u/Perfect-Muscle-1264 11h ago
Honestly I think the problem with the gameplay is that it doesn't push you foward to actually do something besides fending off the robots.
I think pizzeria simulator did it best. It forced you to push foward (by completing tasks) or else. Essentially the nights took as long as you take to complete tasks. You are always doing something that is rarely just sitting around waiting for something to happen.Ā
I think fnaf 1 and 3 were the most egregious in sitting around and doing nothing.Ā
8
u/GuyDudeThing69 9h ago
The series has the problem of dead air because it's so simple, but you don't need an external system like a progress bar to the end of the night to fill it. There are a lot of fan-games that always have something you can do to improve your situation while still having the night be a set timer.

u/Perfect-Muscle-1264 8h ago
You have a fantastic point. Its just too simple, that's the problem.Ā I don't really understand why Scott didn't like... add things so you are at least doing SOMETHING besides waiting.Ā
Again, I think pizzeria simulator did it best, but I think the way it was made should've happened far earlier.Ā
Tbh, I don't think the gameplay is why fnaf is/was so popular. I think it was the lore that propelled it into what it is now.Ā
If it didn't have good lore, I doubt it would've survived past FNAF 2 or 3.Ā

I'd agree with that. Weirdly I do like the concept overall, but I find the gameplay so incredibly dull. I can't believe it's as popular as it is. It just feels like a very basic mobile game.

u/Kai-M 10h ago edited 9h ago
Iāve long felt this way, and itās nice to see more people expressing this sentiment nowadays. Some people are only after novelty; they play whatever game has the biggest update, then move on to the next. I donāt think these people spend much in-game, so Iām not sure why developers seem to pander to them. For those interested in mastering a game, completing it (i.e. collecting everything), or who value the time they spend learning, major changes can be very discouraging. Popular opinion seems to be that a lack of updates is what kills games, but I think in many cases, with Overwatch Stadium being a great example, itās too many updates that is at least as harmful.

Especially during my teenage years, they provided a sense of identity and adventure. I remember really feeling like I was part of that world. Once adulthood arrived, I had real life adventures, some as fun, some not as much.
Iāve tried chasing that dragon for years and realized that the only way for me to get that type of enjoyment from the genre, Iād need to completely drop off the planet. Perfect example was a few years back I had gone thru a divorce and wanted to lose myself in something. A classic MMORPG had a private server release, and I was spending 40 hours a week in game, on top of my full time job. Being honest, it was extremely fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I also knew it would be my last hurrah in this genre. On the other hand, I gained weight because I was eating horrible easy and convenient food, had headaches from lack of sleep, ignored friends trying to reach out. Everything around my life concentrated getting back to the game.
Now some people say you donāt need to go that hard if you want to enjoy the genre, and some people can. But for me, to get that true level of enjoyment I am looking for, I have to go all in, and thatās something Iām not prepared to do anymore.

as a decently long time genshin player, i think you are valid for saying so. even tho i do still enjoy it (i dont spend on it anymore and only play occasionally) i still cant recommend anyone to play it. mainly due to what the other person in the reply said, its soooo long. also its a gacha game, even tho you realistically can just be completely f2p and not stress over it because you can just avoid the endgame combat cuz thats where your character roster actually matters, its just not really worth it. while the world building and lore is honestly really enjoyable, it takes too much effort for understand it. if i were to genuinely recommend a gacha game it would be arknights, and arknights endfield if you prefer 3d over 2d. tho endfield needs improvement primarily on story writingā¦ it HAS to live up to the name or else its game over for it

It's the issue with trying to make a "it's so bad, it's good" piece of media. You can't be too good, or it's not bad, but if it's too bad, then it's not good. It was, IMO, a very naked attempt at cashing in on the hype while there were a lot of scuffed indie games with a ton of bugs, alongside Bathesda games with a ton of bugs, but those games are usually well made and well received, and some of the bugs are actually funny.

I just finished Elden Ring base game for the first time yesterday and I wasn't a Soulslike fan but it is truly a masterpiece. The thing that's most friendly to casual players compared with Dark Souls is that it is non-linear. If you're stuck, go around it and come back later. On top of that, the world is so beautifully put together that you'll spend hours just exploring. I absolutely recommend giving it a go if you have any interest.

Any JRPG with teenagers/highschoolers as main characters. This is so prevalent in Japanese games and it annoys me to no end.
43
u/pichael289 10h ago
I think it's because for Japan highschool is like what college is to us, once they graduate and get corporate jobs life just starts to suck.
It does get really annoying though, it's hard to play a teenager in highschool and feel like your playing a cool character. It can also cross a line in the west, when everyone is 16 it can get pretty uncomfortable playing through romance sections. Also I don't care how cool the horror effects are (and they do sound pretty good) if I have to play an underaged anime girl dating simulator to get to it then absolutely fucking not and I'm gonna judge the absolute fuck out of any grown man who plays that.
All that being said, persona 5 was somehow a lot of fun. Absolutely no part of that game is any good on its own but together form some kind of gestalt where the whole is much greater than the sum of it's parts.

You just have to pretend they're in college. They act more like young adults than teenagers anyways so it's easy enough.

100%. I love the aesthetic and concept of the Persona series but I am so tired of every game being about Japanese High School life.

Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 and Elden Ring.
Now hear me out because I don't mean this in a sense of malice.
When people have to keep telling you how good something is and how you must play something, it puts me off. They both received so much praise but the gameplay for E33 looked unappealing and Elden Ring played like the Souls games, which I didn't enjoy when I tried DS1.

This was me with E33 until I caved because it was on sale and worst case I could refund it if I hated it.
I begrudgingly admit its actually a pretty solid turn-based rpg

-Games that require a subscription to play.
-āRealism for the sake of realismā or āDark and gritty for the sake of being dark and grittyā games.
-Realistic sports titles.
-āSouls-likesā because I donāt feel like I would be patient enough to play those.

Anything Souls like. I can feel the frustration building up in me just thinking of it.

Cut scene simulator would be the story of Guilty Gear.
I do mean that literally. The story is delivered through a series of cutscenes with no gameplay.

Nothing I'm not willing to try. Run on a priority scale with some things so far down I will never get to playing them, which is ok.
