You know who's at fault, right?
(((Consoles)))

It's true - autistic PC indies about engineering factories or power plants in cellular automata gas clouds are still fun, it's just that they're rare and hard to find.

I found the threefold perfection of making games fun
>good games
>comfy environment
>low stress

>>379640561
>good games
There's the problem right there.

>>379640691
replay old ones
give the *few* new ones a chance

get other hobbies to space out the games

>>379640752
everyone says witcher 1 is pretty good but i cant play the first section at all, its so boring.

>>379640832

>Pirates games
>Consoles are ruining video games

You motherfuckers need to realize that the devs are businesses BEFORE they're your digital toy maker. fuck

Games that helped my tired gamer syndrome recently:
>rain world
>oxygen not included
>crimsonland (I replay this one at least once per 2 years since 2008 or so)

obviously you are not low stress if you can't spend $500 on your main hobby once every two years. if you are poor you cannot enjoy video games, simple as that

>>379640935

And yet all the best games can be pirated just fine and don't even have console versions.

DUDE

Tribes.

It's hard to begin with but its honestly the most fun game ive ever played...

And by that I mean 28000 hours across all the games since starsiege.

>>379640986
New games with good graphics are mostly trash I wouldn't bother pirating.
Play toaster games. They only need a good CPU because indie devs have more creativity than ability to optimize a game.

>>379641301
how am i supposed to have savings if i didnt have a job to being with?

you are a bit mad, whats wrong?

>>379641374
i have a nice cpu, can you suggest some games?

let's be frank if you liked dark souls before (shit taste), then you had no reason to talk about fun.

>>379641540
No, fuck off. Dark Souls 1 is a flawed masterpiece, but still the greatest game of all time.

>>379641484
Dwarf Fortress
Factorio
Oxygen Not Included (it's deep in alpha and unfinished as fuck, but still fun)
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

I wonder why.

>>379641170
you're missing the point. When the best games were PC exclusive devs were being robbed bling by piratefags. It only makes business sense to pander to console kiddies who don't know shit about pirating, even if the technology is inferior. You want something or someone to blame for games being shit these days, take an honest stock of which games you paid for and which ones you didn't

>>379641773
factorio is extremely fun but it got really repetitive after some 50ish hours. also i am not the best autist to min max everything. i ll check the others though, thanks man!

>>379640168

>>379641215
Unironically this. Weed helps you calm down and focus on a game with a sense of elation and acceptance. Games that have turned into a chore become much more engaging and enjoyable.

Gamer's depression it's called. Cured by finding new challenges and ways to play that make you feel the wonder of videogames again.

More or less confirmed by various 4chan users about 5 years ago, including myself and it hasn't bothered me since.

>>379639413
I've been getting back into games from my childhood recently after being depressed with video games for a while, been playing some Melee, wind Waker and Majora's mask. I actually haven't played a modern game since around last year.

35

You just come at that point of your life where you realize your life is just a fucking wreck and have to leave games aside for awhile in order to get things in check, don't dwell too much on it OP

>finished uni and finally landed a great paying job
>finally able to afford my dream rig

I think I'm just getting too old for video games. I'll start games and not bother finishing them because they just don't get me as excited as they used to. What is this feeling?

>>379639413
you are playing the wrong games and too much of them.

I only play 10 hours a month but that's only when I get the urge to.

>>379648292
I started feeling that in high school my dude

Oh look another crying Wojak thread.

Oh it's another "I just turned 20 and am now too jaded and aware to enjoy something as silly and childish as video games" thread

How do he help get your life back?

>>379639413

If your jaded depressed feelings go past vidya, then exercise, eat right, and learn mindfulness.

Well, it worked for me

>>379639413
This. Paid shills keep pretending it's because you are (((growing up))) or other nonsense but the fact is games nowadays are absolute garbage. Choose a good game you haven't played yet and you'll find it just as fun as you recall the games you enjoyed were.

>>379639413
I miss the old days of DayZ mod and battlefield 3. Probably the best fun to have.

>>379641773
C:DDA is one of those games that stops being fun the second you figure out it's counterintuitive rules.

Sort of like when someone who never played action games learns that rolling isn't for movement it's for making yourself invincible for a split second in dark souls.

>>379650687
It does lose a lot after the first ~20 hours, but it improved greatly since the last stable (which was like, 2 years ago).
Nowadays it has some actual difficulty in it and combat is less about finding the least balanced and most bullshit option but about picking the more situational option instead of outright best at everything.

>>379651094
Books are the cancer killing the game, everything hangs on whether you find the right books or not. You go from being hobo mode to a killing machine overnight if you find a lucky combo of books and then sit on your ass for an IRL hour reading them all.

They should increase the xp gain for all skills and remove skill gain from books, use them only for recipes.

Your bad attitude is contagious.
Do not infect us with your bullshit.
Drink heavily until you feel better.

>>379651446
Yeah, books are shit, the problem is some skills have no other good methods of grinding them.

Though the hobo->god progress was improved with addition of new default chargen mode where you have separate limits for stats, traits and skills, so that you don't need to scum """challenge""" start options not to suck.

I know that feel. If you have any brains, you'll grow out of it around the 1000th hour.

The only exception is modded mount and blade

Vidya isn't fun anymore but nothing else is either, life feels pretty pointless as an uglyass motherfucker and after years of "self improvement" it's just a convenient carrot on a stick they use to try and keep you going.

I don't enjoy video games and I don't enjoy anything else either and have no real interest in anything.

I play still pretty often when I'm in the mood but video games somewhat have a different feel nowadays kinda like I can't find a video game I really am into and appriciate. Currently playing Battlefeild 1 campaign on ps4

NEW videogames aren't fun.

Go play pre-1995 games, and not just the "popular" ones that everyone knows about. Sure, there are some subpar games, but the gems are many, many times more fun and better quality than any fucking game released in the last 20+ years.

In order to get good at something you first need to truly enjoy doing it. Drawing, playing an instrument, learning to code, fuck even going to the gym need some level of self satisfaction first. If you don't enjoy any of those stop torturing yourself.

>>379639413

It's honestly the first time in a decade I've been fully engrossed in a game. I've already got over 30 hours into it without realizing it. That's the sign of a fantastic game.
