Your biggest frustration with gaming lately?
| My gaming impotence.
| When you're playing a casual multiplayer game, but you're playing against sweaty players who treat casual like it's competitive/rank. Let people have a good time for fucksakes
| nothing. me happy with geimu
| sticking with retro games largely because i cant afford a good pc or any console. im running out of retros to play. i just want to play those new shiny games
| Woke lefties are fucking up vidya
| I spent lots of money to upgrade my rig, but still have noticeable lots of fps dips with most games. Aint worth it in the end. But get tired of visual novels and not much else is there.
| MMORPG business models
>go back to guild wars 2 on a fresh account
>it's fun, start wondering why you quit
>level a bunch, meet some people, fuck around on map, start planning build
>try to sell old gear on the player market
>can't do that
>try to talk in global map chat so you can join a group event
>can't do that
>look into class you want to specialize in
>can't do that
>can't do any of the above unless you shell out $30 for a story expansion
>remember why you quit
| i've lost a lot of stamina in my fingers for rhythm games and it's fucking me up
| Honestly just, like, games in general. I get sick of games really quickly. Obviously it's not the games fault, I'm just depressed, but not being able to efficiently escape into video games is extremely frustrating. There's also stuff with microtransactions and shit. I have a friend who is literally addicted to microtransactions. They're such a toxic and cancerous thing. There are better ways to earn money than getting mentally vulnerable people addicted to bullshit.
| Microtransactions, expensive dlc, casin- I mean loot boxes, rushing development, creating a problem to sell the solution, all that shit has been ruining a lot of franchises, cs, cod,fifa,pokemon,sonic,pvz all suffer from one of these at least
| Microtransactions and console IP knockoffs on Android/iOS and mobile gaming in general.
| >Every franchise and their mother went gacha
It has been what? 4 years of gacha being so popular? And it's still here. Most of them still have garbage rate and stupid power creep/ time investment wall.
I wish whales just get together and crowdfund their waifu utophia game, so these parasitic gacha games can die. Seriously, no game worth/deserve $500, let alone than 1k or more from you just so that you can unlock some content within it.
| >FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
How fucking hard is it just to wait 6 month or 1 year before you buy your game? There are endless amount of gaming library that you can use to distract yourself and you decided to give this scummy publisher their pre-order money just because you want to play it a day early. Heck, we know first two weeks of the game release is used as a benchmark of how successful a game is. If you don't like their pre-order/battlepass/dlc, just wait 2 weeks to tell them
| >>658600 I felt that way recently and had a hard time committing to most of my games. :( My condolences to your friend btw. It's always awful to hear companies exploit people like that.
| >>658811 That sadly used to be me. It's become less of a habit after being sorely disappointed with some games lately, and rewatching Totalbiscuit's videos about pre-orders and review embargo.
| >>658821
Yeah. It's fucked. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling the same way when it comes to committing to games.
