What was the last modern game that got you hooked like the old days?

Deep Rock Galactic

I dont think I've been hooked by a game in this entire decade.

Rainbow Six: Siege.

Rdr2 and a link between worlds

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Reminded me of VtM:B more than Deus Ex 1 though.

division 2

Apex Legends. It was my first battle royale game though and I ended up growing tired of the gameplay loop so I no longer play. Ive read that I need to play Titanfall because I enjoyed the gunplay and movement a lot.

Sekiro, Bloodborne, RDR2, BoTW, XBC2

Kenshi

N Sane Trilogy. RE2make. Smash Bros Ultimate. DMC5. I'm sure Sekiro won't disappoint me when I pick it up after 100%ing DMC5.

Days Gone. Played it for 5 days straight. Literally wake up, play all day, go to bed, repeat.

xcom 2 (with DLC)

>inb4 any comment on how better is xenonauts or old xcom games

DMC5 is pretty much like they dragged a game out of 2005 and gave it a graphical glow up

Xenoblade 1 and 2

Sekiro. It has its flaws but somehow I got very excited with it since the first moment. It feels like the most fun in years.

i forgot to also put this in the reply

These two but also Persona 5 until the boat level where the game shit the bed real quick.

only games i've played recently that lasted more than 10 hours where I got to the end and wished I had more.

Attached: hattime.jpg (616x353, 65K)

Path of Exile
Baba is You
Slay the Spire

Honestly, I kind of get the general sentiment how gaming in general is worse now than it was 15 years ago, but the last couple of years have been pretty alright to be honest. Nice metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, throwback RPGs like Underrail, creative games like Baba is You... I just don't buy into the Doomsday perspective that Yea Forums pushes about gaming being dead. I'm 29 years old if it matters.

Hitman 2 and BotW

Eve Online and Stardew Valley. Yakuza 0 as well now that I think of it

Bloodborne
Breath of the Wild
Hollow Knight
Prey

All fairly recent. Can't give up yet.

I did not disable it. How fucked am I?

Total Warhammer II Mortal Empires.

Straight into my vein desu. Can't stop, won't stop.

Not the best example of this for me, but most recent was AC Origins. For just an AssCreed game, I don't know it was actually really addictive and seemed pretty well made as far as Ubisoft games go

Gen x-ers should fuck off gaming. You ayupid shits

common thread there.

Don't buy AAA garbage and you can still find good games made with passion, whodathunk?

Pathfinder Kingmaker
Witcher 3

What faction? And what the shit do you do during turn pass?

My old days were CS:GO. It came out in 2012-2013 and I was still in high school. I still play it to this day. And even then, I played Source beforehand. Smash Ultimate came close, but the challenges were easy this time around so I wasn't really hooked.

Kenshi

Witcher 3 was huge for me too. God damn 90 hour first playthrough was such an adventure.

Its addictive because the combat is basically a rhythm game, even more than Soulsborne because the main mechanic here is the parry (even if you do other things). The swords clashing, etc, it feels satisfying. Forget about builds, deep stealth mechanics and exploration (its not rewarding) or heavy replayability (pretty much you do it to get the 4 endings, and further NG are quicker). Just take it as an action game

BoTW unironically, I got it when Smash ult came out since I had gotten a switch at the same time and was hooked.

I played this shit for nearly 20 hours over the course of one long weekend. Now I'm just waiting for more content so I don't burn out before it gets finished.

P5, since that a long string of false starts, I hate the feeling.

Bloodborne, I played it through three times before I was finished with it, and I could do another playthrough now.
I have Sekiro but haven't gotten around to starting it yet, I hope it does the same thing.

I had a huge boner for Shadow Tactics after buying it on a whim. Success felt earned and failure felt like an invigorating learning experience.

Not really feeling it with Xenoblade 2.
Xenoblade X-2 when?

imagine if there was an alien that had the skirmisher's interrupt ability, and that they used it for free at the end of every action they took

it's no fun.

Hollow Knight
DMC 5

Horizon: zero dawn
Dishonored 2
First week of fallout 4.

Assassins Creed 2

Spent a stupid amount of time gathering collectibles and building up that villa. I didn’t like syndicate at all, but I’m wondering if I should play origins or odyssey to see if they hook me in the same way

Dominions 5 is the closest thing and yet it's nothing compared to the thousands of hours I put into TF2, Garry's Mod, and various source mods. Still fun though.

Too many modern games are focused on slow teamplay, boring grinds, or just overall meaningless gameplay/no real progression. The only game I even like these days is Smite because I have true control over my actions. Sure I get paired with shitters and lose, but I'm not personally doing worse because of them and can still have fun. My biggest gripe with modern multiplayer games is how tryhard it's become. No one wants to play casually or solo queue, ESPECIALLY on PC where I would be willing to bet at least 75% of my pairings have been up against a full stack of premades on discord. Maybe it's the esports or streaming craze, but I really miss the days of PS3 where it didn't matter if you were shit or good and everyone communicated with mics. Now you boot up a game, no one talks, everyone is 100% focused in a casual lobby, using the end all be all meta build, etc. Playing online used to be an enjoyable experience, now I have to be really serious because everyone else is. I don't even know what to do anymore, multiplayer games are no longer mindless fun. All my friends moved on from video games because of how unfun they have become and I'm still clinging on to hope that one day they'll be fun again. If Halo on PC can't hook me in, I don't think anything else will.

Dragon's Dogma if that counts.
I know it isn't because I'm older since Explores of Sky and Galaxy still hook me like it did the day they came out, Games just aren't the same anymore. man.

Been on my backlog so long and I started playing it a week or so ago and I can't stop

Gravity rush. Bloodborne.

far cry 5:
lost in the bass pro shop edition

Recently been playing HITMAN 2018, Deus Ex Mankind Divided and GTA V on my PS4. I'm hooked because they remind me of those comfy lonely nights playing the old Hitman games, Deus Ex 1, and GTA SA as a teenager on my moms shitty pc. Back then I wasn't so depressed and I didn't feel life was hopeless. I miss those nights a lot.

Devil May Cry 5 was the most fun I've had with a new game in such a long time.

ace combat 7

Dark Souls

back to fortnite

tales of berseria

xenoblade 1,i still remember when i first fought a regular boss and "they will know our names" played for the first time,it chilled my spine when the music synced just as i pulled a chain attack,it has since been the only game that pulled me in as 7 year old again and that's been 6 years already

Such a good game
Hk is such shit

Glad you asked. Yea Forums told me to buy Kingdom Come: Deliverance a year or so ago, you know... to stick it to the liberals. I fucking LOVE Trump, so I did. Anyway, I finally played it and I actually like it.

Hypnospace Outlaw. I played the whole thing in one nine hour session. It still sticks with me. I don't think it's nostalgia. More like I really enjoyed how the game rewarded empathizing with these fictional people seen only through their crappy websites. There's some heartbreaking moments among all the cynicism.

I remember opening my PS1, the plastic smell of was something else. Opening my PS4 wasn't a tenth of what that felt.

Before that, it was SMG 1+2.

I really want that blood remastered

i was so suprised at how enjoyable this game was
i actually finished it lul

play tekken.
once you match with shitters like you send them steam invite and make private lobbies. even shitters that are better than you are willing to help you out with match ups etc.

Most recent ? Days gone took 3 days to 100% but it was pretty decent game

Attached: 1556662455686.gif (217x217, 1.46M)

I enjoyed a lot of games this year but the real hook was probably DMC5. Survival horror doesn't really hook me. I like the games themselves but repeat playthroughs aren't something I typically do for SH unless it's been years since I played the game.
Sekiro was fun but there's not as much reward for repeat playthroughs as there were for the Souls series.
DMC5 though... playing the game is the candy. Cause chaos. Fuck shit up. It's its own reward.

Breath of the Wild. That game blows me away. Even though it has some flaws, I can't wait for Nintendo to iterate on this kind of Zelda. Best game I've played in ten years.

Pandemic Express was fun as fuck for like a day, then everyone got good at it and now it's just tedious having the game play the same way every single time.

Plenty of games, actually.

I never played a Yakuza game before, Do you need to play the earlier games to get into it?

Honestly, only sea of thieves. I loved N:A, ror2, rdr2, re2make, botw, etc. But sea of thieves is the only one that gave me the feeling of doing some shit I didn't think possible in a video game like I did 20 years ago.

Death end re;Quest. I was super skeptical about this game, but something inside told me to buy it on launch, and I don't regret it at all because it's the most I've enjoyed a game in a very long time.

Not really. It's more like an RPG with beat 'em up combat, actually good sidequests, and a million mini-games.

I am not a builder it seems. But someday I hope they make a Mario maker in the same spirit of rpg maker. Actually make a story with all your courses.

No clue.

however, there was a deleted tweet by one of the developers saying that it was being released in April, which didn't happen. I could only think that it's near completion though.

Rocket League for sure. Haven't played in a while but that first 1.2k was a thrill and I'm ready for more

Your first mistake is relying on "modern" games to begin with. No sane person who enjoys movies will go out and see each and every single blockbuster AAA release movie every year because most movies are garbage. It's not just a movie thing though, here's the thing, most books are garbage too.
Just because something is new doesn't mean it's worth your time or money. You should instead be focusing on measuring games by their actual merit as opposed to their release date.
You daft fucking cunt faggot double nigger.

It was so fucking fun in Y1 and Y2, man. I miss it.
