There aren't enough good new games coming out

My PC is a 6 year old shitbox that struggles on a lot of indie titles, and my only console is Xbox One. Other than that, most new games that I have the opportunity to play are shit or weebshit. There's only so many times I can replay EU4, play through the 3 90s CRPGs I own, or hit the Rocket League grind.

hypocrite, plain and simple. stay mad.

I burnt a little over 1000's calories with my bike yesterday fuck off.

Borderlands 2 loot is garbage though. Boxes are always crap so you just end up getting straight upgrades from quests at each level bracket.

pound that poonani son

Zero interesting, deep or challenging upcoming titles, all of them are super safe slop, no developer is pushing the envelope anymore
DLC and lootboxes are accepted as normal.
Companies are essentially free to exploit the rabid fanboy ecosystem forever.
My favorite genres are all dead.
Vidya journalism and culture in general is an irredeemable cesspool.
All the vidya discussion sites are either dead, cancerous, turned into circlejerks or overran with trannies attention whoring

There is just nothing exceptional to engage with, everything feels samey and overengineered by a team of suits and interns. There is no real artistic vision, or that feeling when someone really put his heart and soul into crafting and delivering something for you. Its all dry, corporate, clinical shit now, cutting corners everywhere, drumming up artificial hype with marketing(because analysis shows it saves 3000 bux on this quarterly over making the game better) playing safe, playing simple, just making enough on the normies and the whales. I wouldnt even mind that, but there is no one to cater MY niches, despite having wads of cash to throw around on purchasing quality products but sure as hell I'm not going to buy DLC and other shit from it.

I literally just gave up and went to have IRL hobbies. No its not "rose tinted glasses" or "growing up" I still enjoy gaming and old games lately, I just don't want yet another lazy rehash or reboot of an existing game.

I saw this post but saying its your sister and has abs. That desperate for (you)s?

Depression, getting kicked out of ny house this morning, what else

In general nothing and I play vidya. However, today I am panicking because for the first time I decided to buy some pot (I normally have only smoked before at friend's houses) about a week ago, and today the guy I bought it from got arrested and I have no idea if the police are gonna show up at my door for buying a couple of grams of pot (that are gone now anyways).

I spent the morning cleaning my entire house just to make sure there is no smell, and I went out and disposed of the glass mason jar I put it in, got rid of my bowl, and I'm washing all my sheets just in case there is somehow something on it. I am probably being a paranoid fuck, but still.

Haldol

bruh I feel like killing you now

>Shame she has abs.
This is bait

Olanzepine here. this shit sucks i want to emjoy life again

what're your hobbies user? going to the gym and slaying puss on the daily? how very chad of you

How did you pay the dealer?

Gayest man in the world.

Your change seems pleasant.

Too tired.

idk where you live but man just cause they caught the dealer doesn't mean they're going to start knocking on the door of everyone he's sold some small amounts to
it's a waste of manpower and they just cut off one of the sources they don't need to waste the time on that shit

Cash

I start too many games and don't finish them and it eats away at my soul like I'm a ghost that can't cross over due to unfinished business

someone sold me a gb micro but no charger so now I have to wait for a charger in the mail. it had a charge on it when he sold it to me wtf.

imagine getting arrested for weed in the year 2019 bruh

post your work

I live in Florida, where it is at least medically legal.

Hey man, he did.

>>Rent is too high, I need to constantly worry about work and career.
This so much. Basically, money.

i know he did but still its retarded that it's still criminally enforced who gives a fuck its a plant son damn

For starters the dudes not going to snitch on you. You might not be an issue, but the other people he sells to might be. Hell even if he does snitch on anyone, cops are not going to have the time to follow up on some dude who bought a few grams.
Secondly no one gives a fuck about weed anymore.

I'm waiting for that brand new, mind-blowing, story driven, graphically impressive game series that will spawn a new series of stories and sequels. Especially with mechanics we havent even considered yet. A la Halo or Warcraft or TES.

It's been 5 years and nothing has come out yet that has me truly impressed

I agree with this post. bl2 is just bigger numbers the entire game. I have friends who played bl2 and I convinced them to play through bl1 with me and they whine about the guns not constantly being on an upgrade treadmill. how the fuck is that a problem?

the gold chest has a fairly limited item pool and mostly drops purples anyways. my friend and I cheated in a bunch of keys and he uses the chest whenever we're in town and there's basically no difference in our gameplay. I'm usually a bit ahead of him because I'm better at keeping up with my skills while he mostly runs and guns

money is the source of so much evil

I'm on the middle of the ocean, my laptop cannot run new games and i downloaded only few indie titles but work is taking almost all the time i have, i play somehow 2 times a week

The worst thing is, humans do this to themselves.

At this moment in time its booze, tiredness and money worries. Ill be fine again tomorrow

what's the job user? fisher?, merchant navy?, transport?

>My favorite genres are all dead.
This is the biggest problem I have. Everything nowadays from AAA publishers just seems like bland shooters, bland action RPGs, or Nintendo's flavor of the month shovelware.

I miss stealth games. I miss Metroidvanias. I miss Run & Gun. I miss turn based games of any sort. I miss mascot platformers. And most of all, I miss when the above things had production values and weren't just relegated to the indie ghetto.

I replayed the Halo trilogy in the past few days. I guess the main issue is mainly just getting bored too easily and I worry too much about real life shit

Life is hard
pbs.twimg.com/media/D7Nwln8XYAEKm-7?format=jpg&name=large

I still game but I'm basically limited to playing co-op shit with my one gaming friend and/or my gf.
I don't have a group to play competitive online games anymore, and knowing how much better it is to have friends in that shit, versus playing with random, means I'll probably never be able to enjoy competitive group play games again.

Other than that, the biggest issue is that single player games are just bad these days, few games hold my attention anymore. Even the co-op stuff I play is pretty shitty, it's just playable because I have fun playing with others.
And I know it's not me, I know it's gaming that's changed, because I just did another play through of KOTOR 1&2, Morrowind and Mass Effect 1 this past winter.

It seems like the entire industry revolves around esports and ecelebrities right now. Developers are putting out a trash product in the hopes that people will buy it just because they saw some YouTube memester playing it.

I feel the same way with competitive games too man, fucking DOTA 2 really burnt me out and not even Overcock or Fortnite really impressed me. At least I can look forward to Reach and the MCC coming to PC

I'd love for a better way to give compensation for goods and services

At work coding some stuff.

i'm electrician on container vessel

How about a handjob?

Crippling depression

Indeed I'm hopeful that MCC might bring a few friends back. Even if it's just to play the campaign through one more time.

My neck hurts

>esports and ecelebs
It's a sorry fucking state to see what gaming is these days..

I know it's a big meme, but RDR2 gave me a lot of those good feels I used to have playing singleplayer games when I was young. R*'s trash gameplay did hamper the experience though.

Yeah society was much better when we were on a village level barter system working 15 hours a day 6 days a week to live in squalor. Who the fuck needs division of labor and the profit motive lmao?

My laptop getting a blocked screen and shuting down after overheating or some other problem

neat, thanks for answering. all the best on your journey user.

You will if you see the gpod things and focus on that. Risperdal was better though.

limits aren't being pushed more
there aren't more mature themes
the nature / exploring the interface between player and game is better but still needs development
most videogames fall into the trap of 'tell not show'
gaming is now an established industry with genres & norms, it's not the new, wildly imaginative media it used to be
general lack of creativity

there are some exceptions, and gaming is better now than it was a few years ago, so i have some hope.

after finishing earthbound for the second time everything else is boring. Earthbound was the closest thing to games as an art form. The indie scene could've started an art wave like film did, but the industry only attracts autistic weebs with drawing and programming as their only skills

hmm what could be done against this evil?

money is just another tool. it's evil when it becomes a goal, rather than a tool

online shooters is in a complete state of dog shit thanks to freemium BR games dominating the market.

Intercontinental thermonuclear weapons are also just another tool. The problem is some tools have greater potential for - and inclination to - evil than others.

Other than that though I think games are in a great place. I've got a lot to play and when I'm finished there will be more.

You are great

HL1. Mass Effect if picking up HL1 isn't feasible atm

ocd

It's not that I don't have the $10 but I haven't bought a game at less than 70% off in years.
Downloading Mass Effect right now.

I’m away from my computer for the month studying and I’m realizing how addicted I’ve become. So once I finally get back I don’t know if I should get back into it or channel that energy into something more productive.

Gf is asleep and I was waiting for her to wake up, but I didn't realise what the time was so I'm about to go game.

Unsure on what to play tonight though.

Not doing both with the child between your legs while playing.

Too many people with obvious agendas have made their way into various positions of power in the well known gaming companies. Too many obvious cases of pandering and diversity inclusions that you can't even look past it.

Sucks man.

My current main games are Forza Horizon 4 on my Xbox One X, Days Gone on my PS4 Pro, Singularity on my 360, and Bayonetta 2 on my Switch.

Aside from that, weekly arcade trips to play Sound Voltex Vivid Wave, House of the Dead Scarlett Dawn, and Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5.

I also play Shadowgun Legends on my phone with the normies at work.

I love video games and couldn't imagine life without them.

The aspect at which it wins are not good things.

Low standards doesn't mean no standards. It's always okay to say "this isn't good enough".

I do pleasure myself in that pose... do people use that pose when they are sick? Am i sick?

Playing a video game would be like fast forwarding to my next work shift.
Strangely, browsing Yea Forums dosen't make me feel that way.

I did that during going to uni and playing WoW 10 hours a day. The two are not mutually exclusive, and some neet becoming too jaded for vidya won't suddenly fix his life.

I actually picked up gardening, plane modeling and refurbishing 90s computers. There is something in having a perfectly repaired and clean beast of a computer for '99 running a genuine copy of Win98 and seeing those old icons and everything.

Imagine being into RTS, TBS, RPGs and MMOs. Every single one of those genres are kill or bastardized into meaningless open world action-y games with "rpg elements" Even beyond that, the games are just somehow samey to me in general. Just open some 90s gaming magazine, every single game back then looked so different in artstyle, scope, direction and graphics, you could tell them apart with a glace while right now every game is this undescribable, semi-relalistic plastic style.

Going on really long losing streaks for stupid reasons, like teammates who troll and people leaving the match. Team games are unplayable.

High standards mean I get bored of mediocre games real quick. On top of that I dont see the point in replaying stuff unless its for gameplay reasons like in dark souls 3.
Thats why im not playing anything.

yep you are right, in therapy right now trying to get that straightened out
risperadal didn't work on me though which is why i'm on this fuckin tranq

Searing gas pain.

I find more joy and fun in drawing. I still come to Yea Forums because I like to giggle at silly posts, but I guess I've grown out of vidya. Plus, I can make money while drawing, which I can't do while playing vidya.

I feel like I've experienced everything worthwhile gaming has to offer

I personally use a Surface Pro 6. It's pricey, but it's extremely high quality. I've used Surface series tablets for about two years, and I'm very impressed. Don't get a Pro 4 though, they have an issue where if they overheat, the screen starts to flicker and has burn-in. Best of luck finding a tablet, user.

I'm currently at work so I can't play.

I'm writing an article for this dietitian I'm volunteering for in order to get into my masters program, because the modern education system is shit. I REALLY want to finish it today since it's taking me way, way longer than it should but man do I hate it. I can write essays really fast and get great marks but these articles take me ages, like I feel a pressure to stop after every sentence.
The moment I finish I'll be able to play Sekiro which I'm almost done but I'm putting it off any way I can. Cleaned my whole house twice today just to avoid it.

Video games have become to big of an industry, which brought in all the greedy execs taking over every small little publisher or dev. This means hardly anything worthwhile ever gets made, and shit is just made on tight schedules, with 40% of its content cut out and resold as dlc, and lootboxes or cancerous monetization methods.

The video game industry is so fucked and depressing. Not only that, but the "culture" has completely changed as well. EVERYTHING is geared towards twitch faggots and e-celebs. I'm only 25 and I feel so fucking out of touch, all that shit gives me aids because I grew up in an era where that didn't exist (for the most part).

Gaming isn't the same, and probably never will be.
