>What was the last game you played? Also what genres did you like?
You're gonna hate me on this, but it was Minecraft. Don't judge because all my friends were in our mid to late 20s and we played the crap outta this game.

Genres, pretty much anything, I really loved Starcraft I back in the days though.

Dark Souls.
Don't use a guide, don't summon unless twinks are pushing your shit in or if you're on the verge of quitting. If you like it, play Demon's Souls or move on to DS2 and just don't think about soul memory and enjoy your run. Then play DS3 or Bloodborne.

Keep checking local stores. Walmart is your best bet.

keep an eye on the walmart brickseek page. you should get one within a week if you check frequently. otherwise don't expect regularly available stock for another year.

As a fellow old man, you're looking in the wrong place. Nobody here likes video games.

The sad truth is that Skyrim is probably one he should play. It's fucking awful in context, but it's representative of the general gaming mentalities these days and it's possible to have a good time with t if you're not constantly thinking of how it's been done better.

Titanfall 2 is the best fps on the market these days as far as I'm concerned.

PUBG is fun with friends.

>>383102743
Judging from the pepe. Are you a virgin?

>>383103519
Now hold the fuck on, Stardew and Rocket League are actually good.

Stardew is just western Harvest Moon and Rocket League actually has a lot of depth and skill to it.

Dota2 is the only game there is now. You better get gud.

>>383104523
>recommends a game you know he won't enjoy
why even bother

>>383104689

If there's any game to 'get into', it's this really. It's a real game. Find friends to play with and you're set.

Metal Gear Rising
Breath of the Wild
Dark Souls
Bloodborne
Dragon's Dogma

Hollow Knight

I feel most of the games I listed appeal to everyone. If you're willing to play more Japanese style games, than I recommend Persona 5, Nier Automata, and Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

>>383104830
Aw sweet dude, I have something around 6 years before wizardhood, how is it?

>>383103305


that's because half-life 1 is a better game

I thought women would never look twice at me. I work a job and I'm going to college but its typical wage slaving for wally world. Take care of my mother who is disabled and live with her. So double loser points, low paying job, living with parents etc. However the older I get the more women hit on me. Some are older, some are younger but a ton of women flirt with me. The weirdest fucking thing is I don't even give a fuck anymore. I don't even want to pursue them anymore, I don't even care about getting laid.

I just want a small farm and sit the world out.

>>383105185
At least it's flavored shit.

>>383105386
props for taking care of your mom

but try to not deny yourself all fun mate, you only got one life

>>383105386
Don't think of yourself as a loser if she's disabled and you're taking care of her. I find that admirable. I have a 32 year old coworker who's parents are perfectly fine and still lives with them, that guy I'd define as a loser.

Not to mention he only dates women with kids, making him a cuck too.

Titanfall 2 and DOOM (2016) are great shooters with good singleplayers if that's your thing. titanfall 2 has a good fun multiplayer.

2017 has been a pretty darn good year for vidya so you chose the right time to jump back in.
If turn based interests you then give Persona 5 a look, it basically mastered the turn based JRPG genre.

Fellow fresh wizard here
You can try Witcher 3, it's not talked about 24/7 despite being 2 years old for no reason.
Also the Dark Souls series is nice if you like some multiplayer melee combat without the competitive kid scene that usually comes with it. People that take it seriously exist but they usually stay among themselves and use passwords.

Note that you can refund Steam games you buy if you play them for less than 2 hours so I'd buy some of the recommended games and refund them if they're actually garbage
play Botanicula it's a comfy point-and-click

>>383102743
Demon's Souls
Dark Souls
Dark Souls II
Dark Souls III
Bloodborne
DOOM (2016)
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (trust me, I know Zelda has been garbage ever since the Gamecube, but this game actually is arguably the best game of the year, it's fucking amazing and made Zelda awesome again)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Grand Theft Auto V (this is the perfect game for people who hated IV but liked the PS2 games, they really fixed everything wrong with that piece of shit game)

If your parents take care of you, you're a loser. But if you're the one taking care of your parents, you're a real man. There ain't no shame in that, it just shows you're a good person that loves your parents like all normal people should.

If you're coming back into video games from nothing then just about all the popular suggestions should do fine. One big thing though, I find watching gameplay footage on youtube to be a really good indicator of what a game is like before I decide to buy/play it. It's not like it was all those years ago where all my gaming impressions came from shitty magazines that can doll up even the worst game with some imaginative words.
