Mine would have to be League or Warframe tbh.

    For me it’s cod. I know I’ve played too much of this franchise and it’s getting to the point where I don’t love or hate all of these games as a whole it’s turning into indifference which is a corporation’s worst enemy. Can’t make money if they can’t even turn my very low standards into interest.

    Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom.

    I love Zelda I always have. The first game I ever played was the original Zelda on the NES and I was hooked ever since. I’ve even played most of the games and really enjoyed all of them.

    But there’s one glaring issue that I have with botw/totk. The weapon/armor system. I hate games with weapon/armor degradation and Zelda’s system is even worse than normal.

    They went from weapons never breaking or taking damage at all, to shields taking damage but get the Hylian shield and it’s unbreakable, to every single weapon and shield breaks after a pathetic amount of uses.

    I would’ve even been fine with an Oblivion style degradation system where the weapon does less damage the more damaged it is but can be repaired with the right tool or by going to a blacksmith.

    It’s even worse when you notice that higher tier weapons break faster than lower tier ones, or that enemies can use weapons forever, yet the chosen fuckin hero only gets about 15 whacks before a solid piece of wood/metal just fuckin explodes.

    Guild wars 2. I’ve been following the franchise since it started so it’s near and dear to my heart. I haven’t been real happy with where they’ve taken it over the past few years though and it’s frustrating to see.

    Satisfactory. I love this game. I hate the fact that it chews up so much game time. This blows CIV games out of the water for the “one more turn” effect for me.

    But I was cruising the other place one day, and saw a user with the flair “it’s not a game, it’s a hobby”. And that changed a lot of my attitude towards this game. Now I treat it like an overly complex model train builder.

      My biggest issue was how needlessly complicated it was making anything look halfway decent, particularly with tracks. Just getting the tracks to not float over platforms takes hours, then trying to get the platforms to sit on the terrain nicely takes more, and no matter how nicely that turns out, it looks like the game forgets to render plants wherever you build anything… All to pump ever more complex crap into a trash compactor while the cool space elevator stands dormant.

      Ugh, it’s such a cool idea, but every action feels like a mistake, and every project feels like a waste. I wish I loved this game.

      Oh, and I almost forgot the hilarious amount of waste nuclear power makes, while coal and oil are infinitely renewable and objectively the cleanest forms of energy. Feels like oil & gas propaganda.

    I made this account just to say that i love EvE online but I hate how addicted I already am. within 2 weeks i’ve played over 150 hours already. I REALLY don’t want to play it like i played final fantasy 14 or warframe because playing games that much really burns me out really fast. So i’m trying my best to play EvE casually, which the skill system helps with to some degree but obviously i have 150 hours logged already despite this. I knew I should never have tried out EvE online. Now i can’t go back :(

      Came here to mention Eve. I love flying through space and assembling different ships, but it is such a time machine; it almost reminds me of getting into Civilization and feeling that ‘one more turn’ compulsion.

      I’m pretty anti-capitalist irl, but something about the game has got me satisfying market demands and working in a corporation for fun. It’s weird.

    Honestly? I’m having a love-hate-love-annoyed thing with Baulders Gate 3. It’s great but I have no fucking clue what I’m doing a lot of the time, the looting is so crucial and so so so slow, it’s glitchy, and I wasn’t googling things or using guides until I failed an entire area by triggering a timer I didn’t know about but I feel I have to use guides now because I don’t want to repeat that.

    Also I’m peeved that I’ve either accidentally locked a romance option or it just glitched out altogether.

    But still, having a good time. It’s a good game.

    Currently in Act 2. I’m playing Durge but fighting my “nature”. I did not know what I was getting into until THAT ONE THING happened at camp. Luckily I save scummed and found a way around it and did the thing with the backup/stand-in which was better than the alternative but also kinda sad because I’m playing a base model Durge if you know what I mean.

    It’s been a fun mental roleplay experience, I’m enjoying it but GODDAMN I hate checking 15 empty crates until finally finding one rotten carrot that I still am grateful for because I need that 1 gold.

      There’s a bulk loot option. Not sure what you play on, but you should be able to Google it.

        PC with an x-box controller. Holy cow thank you! If this works it will be a literal game changer. I hope it works on stuff just placed around and on the ground (the “pick up” vs loot). I’ll try it after work!

        Edit: GAME CHANGED. It’s still a little slow but much better than it was.
