Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

    Satisfactory.

    Totally my fault, it’s not a bad game it just wasn’t remotely what I was looking for when I bought it.

    I got it expecting “factorio in 3d”, however in reality it was more like Subnautica or Fallout 4 if the base building in those games was the main part of the game.

    By the time I had finished loading the first phase of the space elevator I had came to terms with this.

    As it turns out, the game that scratched that itch was heavily modded Space Engineers.

      I’m one of the weird ones who likes Satisfactory over Factorio. I just can’t get into Factorio for some reason. Also didn’t help that my friends who I tried playing with it – who all had hundreds of hours in the game – are the kinds to be like, “No, you’re doing it wrong - the correct/efficient the way to do it is this way…” People, let me learn the damn game. I get being efficient, but let me learn on my own for a bit.

      But didn’t matter, just couldn’t get into Factorio.

        thats imo the worst way to start factorio.

        a friend of mine tried to introduce me to the game,
        but i lost intrest after blue science.

        did you try it out by yourself yet?
        it only clicked for me,
        once i learned the game at my own pace.

          I think I’ve tried a couple times solo, but never really put serious effort into it. So I’d play for like 30min then just quit. I think the bad experience with my friends made me just avoid it. Realistically, it just happened to be Factorio that we were playing that time; it could’ve been any game. And it has happened in other games. The one friend who was the worst offender, I rarely play games with anymore. It’s silly, I know.

          However, one day, when I’m bored and looking at my Steam library, I will make the attempt again. I feel like I should, but I just don’t know when that might happen. The picking Factorio part; I’m frequently bored staring at my Steam library!
