Yes the same with sport. There's too many damn sports there should only be one sport at a time.

All sports players should be required to play in all sports. I want to see baseball players doing ice hockey, but that would probably lead to a blood bath. So we'll do that one at the end.

i know it can be hard sometimes to have a deep conversation about videos games. but in defense of these people gaming is very vast and the freedom of choice and variety of stuff to play can be to much for some. i thinks thats why many people don't explore what gaming all got to offer.

In my experience

"Oh yeah im a hardcore gamer im already prestige 6 in COD bro."

I enjoy trying a lot of new games, but I do tend to gravitate to rpg and exploration, or tbs. And yea a couple favs from childhood make constant reappearances

I'm really hoping the new expansion for d4 is to d4 as reaper of souls was to d3. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Blizzard is actually done.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Is d4 diablo four? Cause yea im still playing the re release of d2.

Never did play d3.

[–] AlphaSpellswordZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I play a lot of different games but my favorites are RPGs, shooters and space sims.

Uh, 300h with X4, 700h with Palworld... I'd expect to be autistic with the former more than the latter

Don't forget the normies that only play FIFA

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

ADHD means a lot of games with a ton of hours. Over 1k include Ark, Warframe, FFXIV, Civ V and Civ VI, Monster Hunter games, Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, Pal world is close at 996h etc. Generally I like a lot of stuff, except maybe most first person shooters, battle royales, and I can't actually recall playing a sports game past some SNES basketball games. Do Mario mini games count?

Be me. Spend 2 grand on new PC. Play sim city 3000 night after night after night.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you having a good time, though?

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

I sure am. Thanks for asking.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Ditto. Except it's Arma 3. which still runs badly on a system with a 13900k, a 7900XTX and 32 GB of Ram,..

I'm the worst type of gamer.

I think gaming is bad and think gamers have bad opinions.

My perfect game is Civilizaris Skypico 4X for the PS1.

Mostly.

If it's not a magnificent 4x experience that makes me forget to blink for hours at a time, I want punishingly difficult quarter muncher style arcadey titles.

I have too much time in the Vlambeer games, and have way too much time in splatformers.

Jrpgs are OK too, but I only like them on handheld. I'm working through the PSX release of FF7 on my RGxx35sp right now and having a blast with it.

My tiny claim to fame is that I once beat After Burner Climax at Gameworks in Newport, Kentucky circa 2011

[–] Loco_Mex@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My favorite PS1 game was GEX

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

I downgraded and ported it to GBA myself, honestly that's the best way to play it.

People like you should be drawn and quartered

Anon wants to talk about the games they like, not the games other people like.

Yeah I'm a sim racer, and I suck.

Today I'm playing GT7, tomorrow I'm probably play some GT7 and if I'm getting really frisky next week I might play some GT7.

Gotta git gud.

The fact that no one has said anything about RimWorld shows how far you all have to go

Is KSP a autistic game? If so I got at least 10,000 hours in.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

KSP definitely counts, but I think it's the 10k hours that makes your experience with it autistic.

I used to play everything. Then I developed a sense of taste and learned to recognize what I know I wouldn't much care for, and don't bother with those games. I like shit with complexity, depth of mechanics, and loads of weirdness. Like Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Earth Defense Force, and soulslikes. Popular AAA games tend to be anything but that. The newest game of high caliber complexity that is also popular and AAA I do like is Baldur's Gate 3.
