PvE or PvP. Would prefer something with PvP. WoW is probably the best example I have but I also liked the destiny series and now with it being in the state it’s in I’m really looking more towards a fresh shooter to sink a couple thousand hours into. Any suggestions are welcomed though.

I have tried warframe and just can’t get into it for my own reasons that might not jive with people who love the game so I’ll keep them to myself.

I’ve already played out WoW, Destiny, Ark, Dark souls series / Elden ring and many other souls likes

Have been looking at things like EVE online i think it was called and other Space themed games but theme doesn’t have to match.

Not talking about slowly losing interest I mean the moment you just stopped.
For me, it was hitting a level that felt completely off compared to everything before it. After a few tries, I just closed the game and never opened it again.
I am curious what it is for others what made you quit a game instantly?

The issue I’m having is for example if I buy a PS2 how available are the games and reliable are the consoles? Does anyone repaid them anymore?

What would you all suggest for non internet compatible game play? Plug and play set up? Get on old PS2 or Xbox?

**Update** Thank you all for the help. I’m clearly out of the loop and am going to have to do some digging to get up to speed on things. I do appreciate all the advice.

For me it's Ring Fit Adventure. It slaps, and I don't see anyone talking about it.

I've been bored with my normal game cycles, RTS, Grand RTS, FPS, and RPGs. Anyone got any good recommendations that are not those things?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently a student researching "Player Influence in Video Game Development" for my thesis.

I’ve created a short survey (only 11 questions, takes about 3–5 minutes). If you can spare a moment, I’d really appreciate your thoughts. If you're willing to help me out, please check the Qualtrics link included in this post.

Thanks!!!

Hello! I want to gift my bf a mechanical gaming keyboard and ergonomic mouse as graduation present. My budget is $100

Any leads/ suggestions?

He plays valorant.

10 hours into playing Hades for the first time I’ve accepted I’m ass at making good builds in video games, my Baldurs Gate 3 and FFVII playthrough also gave me this idea.

The thing is I don’t like looking up builds because it feels like I’m skipping a part of the experience/fun of the games I’m playing. So how do I learn to make a solid build in any RPG or roguelike or whatever.

Not "New Game +" but a new cycle that lets you unlock bonuses based on current run score? (Games like Necromerger, Castle Fusion, some rouge likes)?

I used to play daily, my main games were nba2k, gta and fortnite. Overtime, I wasn't enjoying the games anymore, the communities felt toxic, and I needed money for college so I basically just stopped playing.

Now that it's been some time and I'm a bit more comfortable financially, I'm wondering if I should get back into it all?

if so should I stay on the ps4 or get a new console?

P.S. - i need a multitasking laptop but my main focus is gaming...

My attention span is dead. Nowadays, I play from 2-4 games simultaneously. Some games just burn me out from the same activity. Usually, my amount of Active Games range from 2 to 4. When 1 game is done, I add another game into the mix.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask since I don’t really use Reddit, but obvious take it down if this post doesn’t belong in this group.

Me and my sisters all live in different cities and have recently started to play multiplayer games together on our PCs as some nice sibling bonding/quality time. So far we have played phasmophobia and Baulders Gate 3 together, but I would like to find a new game to try out with them.

Does anyone have any multiplayer game recommendations for 2-3? I’m open to basically any genre, really, as I’m not much of a gamer so don’t have any strong preferences towards anything! It could be a format like phasmophobia where it’s just quick rounds or a game, or like BG3 where it’s an ongoing narrative/ you play in longer sessions etc.. It just has to be something that can be played on PC, and preferably something we can buy on steam/ something easy to set up.

I know there are lists online of good multiplayer games but just wanted to ask if anyone had some recommendations of games they had fun playing with their friends/family!

I have a question… or maybe a discussion topic?? Idk

Why didn’t X-Men capitalize on a fighting game franchise similar to Mortal Kombat?? I mean… everyone has a specific power (👀mutant ability) and the factor of different realms (👀multiverse… hello??)

I just feel like this was a HUGE missed opportunity or did I miss something… and now I’m embarrassed 🙈

EDIT: I understand that there could “never” be an actual X-Men(Marvel) vs Mortal Kombat fighting game because of licensing, etc. but I really just mean a stand alone X-Men fighting game franchise, like… why didn’t they capitalize on that?? I think it would have been a HIT!!
