Vidya confessions time

I'm not sure if its much of a confession but I only got into gaming a year ago because I got diagnosed with cancer and my older brother bought me a PS4 to keep my spirit up as much as possible. I can honestly say that being able to immerse myself in video games made the ordeal much more bearable. My life was never in danger or anything but it was still incredibly difficult to deal with both spiritually and physically but for 3-4 hours a day I was genuinely happy. I'm healthy now and I honestly think I will be a life long gamer, it just has a special place in my heart.

I religiously look up walkthroughs and spoilers for every game I play. Nothing should be left to chance

>my two favorite genres are fighting games and movie games, so right off the bat I make no sense
>usually my favorite game in a series is the one the least like the franchise, favorite MG is Rising, RE is 5, GTA is IV, Street Fighter is III...
>I like LiS2 better than 1
>I unironically hate mario and most platformers
>never owned a PC, so never played shit like Half Life, TF2 or Portal
>I've always hated popular shit, and canalizing it into western AAA releases hasn't helped at all
>I don't like souls games, they're not hard, they're poorly designed and tedious
>my favorite tomb raider is shadow
>I like ultimate over melee for shotos alone
>I used to compulsively buy FIFA, until 17

Had to vent

I've played barely fucking anything that's typically thought of when people mention games
>no mario
>no zelda
>nothing on playstation in any way
>no BR/MOBA/any competitive ranked multiplayer shooter game
>barely anything on PC that came out after 2005
>emulated only 1 game ever, Eastern Mind
I grew up with a Genesis that had sonic and jurassic park, then an xbox, then a wii and only handhelds.

That's sweet user, you have a good brother.

It's at my walmart though.

I spend more time playing mobile games than real games now

Owned every Nintendo console from SNES to Wii, never played a single Zelda game.

This is most likely because I spent nearly 300 days played on WoW between my characters in the span of 4 years.

I think Dark Souls II is good.

I honestly dont understand the appeal of Souls games. I don't get the point of them, I don't get how people can say they have a story-- flavor text isn't a fucking story-- I don't see any appeal to the worlds they make. I just really don't understand how these games are popular no matter how hard I try to force myself to play them.

XV was my first and only FF and I loved it and I have zero interest in playing the others because I know they don’t have the same battle system

When I finished Ending E in Nier: Automata I didn't sacrifice my save data because I wanted to do the DLC still

>usually my favorite game in a series is the one the least like the franchise
>GTA IV
>Street Fighter III
>MG Rising

Those games are loved in their communities tho. Especially Street Fighter 3. Unless you meant New Generation.

I didn't sacrifice mine either and I never played it again after beating it

I never finished any zelda game because I find them boring and basic

I think god of war was never good

When i have to make a choice on a videogame i always look guides to pick the best one

>I have never played a Battle Royale or MOBA game
The first one was so bad he had to write this to compensate

Contrary to popular belief, you're not wrong for not sacrificing your data when literally part of the point is how you receive the help/support in your hardships to actually keep going till the end. It's even in the game's actual story (9S/A2 die at the end only to be saved by their Pods in Ending E).

Besides, it's only viable to sacrifice your data once you've cleared everything in the game and there's nothing else you can do after leveling up so high.

one time playing Final Fantasy 12 I saw a squatting bangaa off the side of the steps in Archadia and had to stop and jack off because I imagined it was a female and she was trying to find an out-of-the-way place to pee and I was peeping on her

haha

>it's your taste, nothing you can really do about it
>rising is good, re5 is a coop masterpiece, gta 4 has the best story and physics, dunno about street fighter, good taste nonetheless
>But LiS2 is not even out yet, just hope it won't have a shit ending like 1
>But why
>You really missed out on those single player games
>Same
>They're not hard because they are still RPGs and people do not fucking get that you need to level the fuck up, also poorly designed how?
>Haven't played it since i hated how soulless Rise was
>Never played smash and i'm not playing a fifa game since fifa 02

I have never mastrubated to a videogame character.

thats good, user :)

Get the fuck off my Yea Forums

I feel conflicted because on the one hand I'd like stories like yours to be public so people can get out of this delusion all video games and video game players are bad, but on the other it'd feel exploitative to put in people's faces.

i used exp cheats in many JRPGs (x8 xp gain)

I like skullgirls for the mechanics and not the waifus

I fucking hate Final Fantasy IV and legitimately think it's one of the lowest points in the series.
I'm probably one of the worst fighting game players currently browsing Yea Forums, I can't pull off a hadoken consistently and no amount of training seems to make me feel like I'm in full control of my character.
I played TLOU when it came out and liked it.
I don't pee standing up unless I'm forced to, which only happened like 2 or 3 times in my life, I always sit on the toilet like a woman.
I fucking despise Resident Evil 6. Not sure it's that controversial but I remember quite a few people defending it on Yea Forums around the time it came out. I like RE5 though.
I hate Morrowind.
I have a soft spot for MGS4 but I hate Peace Walker with a passion.
I pretend I beat DMC4 in DMD, which I technically did but I gave up on one of the fights near the end and used a holy water.

I realize the ones about TLOU and MGS4 make me look like I'm a movie game-loving faggot but whatever.

i never realized you could recruit magus to your team in chrono trigger

I unironically enjoy triple A blockbuster games like Destiny

A few of the SFMs and Blenders are just too well done to pass up, emphasis on a few though so I can understand passing over time if your attention is elsewhere. Especially since a lot of trash in boards and galleries floods them down.

>XV was my first and only FF
Same.

Games are too hard for me nowadays. Normal modes are kicking my ass. I don't just mean recent games but older ones as well that I used to be so good at.

>these days
what? you probably just became alot more shit at videogames.

I fucking hate Fortnite

That's exactly what he just said you fucking goon.

>you probably just became alot more shit at videogames.
That's what I mean, mostly. Sekiro and DMCV gave me lots of trouble though. Also RE2 on Hardcore is a fucking nightmare for me.

Not sure if this is what you meant but I wouldn't feel exploited at all for being asked to tell my story. The way I see it, gaming is no different from watching tv, its something you do to unwind and take your mind of things. Why gaming everyday makes you a loser but Netflix/HBO doesn't makes no sense. People who are fanatics about their favourite shows can be just as cringeworthy as people who are hardcore fans of games.

I avoid any game with turn based combat because I find it a horrible system

You'll figure it out one day Gita.

I love MGS as a series but have only completed Rising and the original Metal Gear Solid.
I played through the first two Halo games for the first time this year and enjoyed them immensely
I hate Fire Emblem only because they have too many characters in Smash and it just so happens that many of them are high-tier
I still play and enjoy Overwatch
Minecraft is one of the best games to come out in the last 20 years.

This

Well i hated every game that has big boss in it aside from 3 just because of the motherbase grind and the copypasta stories, also i played peace walker on psp with no camera controls so that's maybe why i hate it so much.
RE6 is nothing but a downgrade of 5 and the Revelation games are trash too aside from the raid mode which could be improved in something decent.
Also nothing wrong with sitting if you live alone unlike me

Every time I play a multiplayer game I constantly shit talk and whine at the other players off the mic because I get worked up easily in "competitions"

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is a character action game masquerading as an action rpg and it has some of the best boss fights in any video game.

Assassins creed , even after all these games and drifting away from their origins is still my favorite series
I never dropped a single one and they have combined a lot of hours of enjoyment. Every other series has at least "that" game that is not worth playing no matter what

I think Dragon Age Origins is the definition of everything a RPG should be, even though I must admit it has its flaws.

It saddens me that its sequels were such shit.

I prefer Brutal Doom over regular Doom

I can't stop fapping to Persona characters.

I always get the greatest high followed by a sad empty feeling after every session. Persona in general just reminds me of how I used to be a fully functional/sociable person with many friends (I'm in my mid-20s now), but for the last couple of years, family problems have worn me down to the current state I'm in. I love them, but I can't help but feel like they've done me wrong for the past couple of years by manipulating my feelings for their own benefit.

The only genuine happiness I feel nowadays are playing vidya (like Persona) and watching anime in my spare time, and working on my personal creative projects.

is it just me or am i just in that fucking grey area of gaming.
im too young to relate to boomers, too old to relate to zoomers, not very suicidal to relate to doomers, more grown up than nintendo fags, too dumb for pc gamer fags, too smart for xbox and playstation fags, and i dont even know why i bother to play video games anymore if all the fucking games i play at i suck and get frustrated at

Most people who hit this area give Eve Online a shot and usually excel at it if they make it through the learning curve/mountain

I can't tolerate other people in multiplayer games unless I had a few drinks in me. I usually just play singleplayer shit sober on any other day.

Attached: 1464310036600.png (919x720, 1.06M)

same, i fucking hate online multiplayer unless im only playing with friends.
shame that now they all only play WoW exclusively

I had 3 friends I played videogames with online.
1 became a normie and got married had kids and never has time to play anymore
1 commited suicide a few years ago because he was heavily depressed
and the last one just plays DotA2 garbage 24/7

Red Dead Redemption 1 made me embrace my fetish for women being hanged by the neck and I have a save in RDR2 to jerk off to the hooker's hanging

I play videogames not because I enjoy them but use them purely for escapism. I stopped enjoying videogames a long time ago.

I have never played a Zelda game and I dislike the series
Sekiro was my first Souls game and I beat it with cheats and never touched it again
I have never done a 1cc on any shmup that wasn't on easy mode mostly because I can't stop my self from doing a no bomb, no miss run every single time
I dropped VC4 right before the final mission and Nier Tomato before ending E
I always resort to using cheats in JRPGs to skip the grind

I have a tendency to like really bad/controversial games such as DmC and Metal Gear Survive even if I still like the beloved titles of the same series as well.
My favorite genre is FPS but I only ever play fast paced old school ones and never play multiplayer.
I can't get into fighting games because I have a massive fragile ego that legitimately almost saw me kill myself over a bad day online once. Yet somehow despite all of this I love co-op games online and can go days without seeing victories and not get mad like I did the Vermintide games once, I can somehow manage to still have fun in a loss if its co-op despite PvP loss driving me to actual suicide.
Video games are my only hobby because I love them to death so much, if I'm not playing I'm talking about them, and if I'm not talking about them I'm watching videos on them. I have nothing else going for my personality outside of vidya.
I bought every single Early Acces title that came out during the very first EA games ever to come to Steam because the idea sounded great. The only one that was worth it in the end was Kenshi.
I have a severe lootbox/gambling addiction and have to stay away from games with lootboxes because I always fall for the temptation no matter how much I know its retarded.
My favorite past time is playing old games to experience how things were in the past and get a perspective on how video games as a whole evoled.

>I have never played a Zelda game
>and I dislike the series
...explain. How did you come to that conslusion? Friends, reviews, concept alone, pr Yea Forums

I'm proud I've never brought a single lootbox in my life. I still think the "vote with your wallet" thing is stupid though, because my vote is worth $0, but some faggot's vote is worth $10000 or whatever his gambling addiction is worth.

- I'm 35 years old and still play games in all my free time.
- I never played any of the cool games (BR, Sony action adventure games, smartphone games)
- I'm absolute shit in multiplayer despite I spent all my life playing.
- I love Nintendo games in general but the only one I ever played was Yoshi's Island on GBA (even have a handful of amiibos).
- I played 99% of my games with full guides because I'm scared I miss something or make some huge mistakes.
- When I was a kid Sony fans bullied me and I will always secretly hate the platform and the players regardless of what they do.
- I find games 9000% better if there is a cute girl in it.
- I bought cheat dlcs for every game where it was available (better guns, equipment etc)

I have never purchased a gambling box either, I did buy some shitty costumes I regret in some MMO though.

>have started Dark Souls 1 from the start like three times, but never bothered to play it (still want to someday)
>never played Counter-Strike
>own xb1, ps4 and can't remember when I last switched them on (but I do play on my hacked ps3 regularly)
>i have 300+ games on Steam, and only played/completed a few of them
>never completed any of the Elder Scrolls games
>i no longer get any joy from video games, they are a chore

>character action
cringe reddit speak

I've also never played a Zelda game. In fact SM64 is the only 'old guard' Nintendo IP I've owned besides Pokemon. I just play Playstation and Xbox.

I don't like the concept, the art direction, or the general look of the game. Feels weird.
Also the fanbase for it might I add.
And I really enjoyed Okami, oddly enough.

You loon

I love open world early access crafting survival games, and always tries any new releases of those

I exclusively play Japanese games. I think the last time I played a western game was in 2012 or something.

I browse this website compulsively for hours a day even though I don't play any of the video games that are talked about here.

Don't worry, 90% of the threads are /pol/ threads, porn threads or twitter screencaps.

i cant get myself to play any games that have a real ending

i've never owned a console and have never played a console exclusive game.
also never played half life 2

I hate multiplayer games but still play them

yea i know the feel.
embrace single player like me.

this but unironically. it usually ends up with me ragequitting and swearing i'll never play this trash again only booting it up an hour later again.

>I struggle to play a lot of older games now because of less advanced sound cards making them hard to want to hear for any decent amount of time.
>KBM is way comfier to play with, though not enough to force myself to play heavily joystick-oriented games with
>Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom is the best 3D platformer that isn't a Mario game

I enjoy the Last of Us and I think the gameplay is great.
I also play Destiny 2 from time to time and I think it's great.

Fuck you.

did you try amazon or eBay?

I made the DT Yea Forums sings and after my uncle passing away and my grandma now in the hospital I've lost all motivation and going to end it all pretty soon

I traded a copy of Super Mario Kart for Bart's Nightmare on the SNES.
Super Metroid scared the shit out of me as a kid so bad I bagged the game and threw it in the garbage
I spent hours playing a girl high school sim on the PC and thought it was fun.
I passed up Donkey Kong Country 2 to pick up a shitty wrestling game I maybe played once.
I only bought Hockey games just for the fights.

I play fighting games with a keyboard. no movement input is more precise than the old, cold arrows of a keyboard

fuck that is genuinely too depressing

I do not understand the hype around Nintendo. I had a "Famicom" and have plenty of games under my belt but i just never became a super obsessed fan. It just seems so weird to me that Mario and Zelda are staples of gaming despite them being nothing special.

don't end it user.

nice try snoyboi

Nope, not a sony fan either despite putting hundreds of hours into Army Men and obsure shit like Auto Destruct on PS1.

I use video games primarily as a way to make friends because I am terrible at conversation and need games as a buffer to talk to people

Everyone of my friends thinks I'm super knowledgeable in game franchises I love and that I've beaten them and know everything in and out, but the truth is a violent, horrible domestic dispute which led to a turbulent separation and divorce amongst my parents and and shit hitting the fan at the exact same time in life led to me losing my ENTIRE games collection. I was bad at completing games as a kid but one day I vowed to start beating them. I got so close on every game and then I lost everything. Now when people ask if I played ____, I say "oh yeah, I have" when in reality I only got 90% of the way through every game I've ever played. I've been rebuilding my collection for 7 years, trying to finish them all up, but life has been shitty, so I'm set further back than I was when I was just a kid. I'm a fraud, and a poser, and I don't have the courage to tell everyone who built their perception of me based around videogames instead of who I am as a person.

I replay old games just to try and recapture that feeling I had back then when I wasnt so jaded, bitter and hopeless but all it really does is give me a small taste of it never really giving me that old feeling.
