No. Don’t you have a depressed teenager to harass?
She did, but things grew awkward after they went to the hospital.
Play the ones you want, be ok with not finishing the ones you just aren’t feeling after giving them a decent try
Same advice for books.
Average enjoyment across multiple games and books ftw!
I can’t bring myself to finish dragon age inquisition.
Which sucks, it was a fantastic game I enjoyed nearly every minute of, and I wish I had gotten into the series when I had more free time than a hibernating bear.
No idea what it is, I just stopped playing one day and never started it back up, and now I just don’t have any interest in it.
How I do it. Huge game library tons of games I bought played and just felt meh after awhile with them. Now they are just part of my collection.
The era of mass buying games on sale has come and gone imo.
I haven’t seen any really interesting deals in relation to games I remotely care about in years.
I’m starting to go down the dark path of Indies only.
Dark path? My experience is that it’s a more narrow but brighter path.
What I mean is that if you take your time, vet the cash grabs and ones that are perpetually in version 0.02a, then there are some real gems out there.
I don’t play all the games I can anymore instead just focusing on ones I really like. Indie games are my goto anymore.
I have 200 or so hours in modded Fallout 4 GOTY that was bought on sale for like $40.
Factorio, just passed the 1200hr mark and just got into modding. $20 a few years ago.
I planned to write more but re-read your comment and realized you’re joking…I need more coffee.
Indie titles are nice, but There’s really only so many pixel-art or cel-art style games I’m willing to play. And while, sure, there are noteable exceptions here and there, they’re just that. Exceptions.
I know why they do it, but my point is that I feel there is a missing middle in gaming.
Indies are the bright path. Been absolutely fucking enthralled with Signalis lately, and it was made by less than a handful of people.
The dark path is AAA games: expensive, buggy at launch, unnecessary micro payments, short-lived.
They may be gone but left a lot in their wake.
On a serious note, indies also sell at a discount sometimes and I already have too many games in the backlog to finish them ever, I think 😰
It’s sad. The heyday of steam sales were insane - I’d never seen anything like it for gaming.
Now, it just feels underwhelming.
I just opened my Steam wishlist and there’s a lot of titles on there with 75% - 90% off. Including a one piece game normally $80 for $12.
Now to go through them and see which ones I still want now that they are cheap and time has passed for more reviews/development. Seems like games I add to my wishlist are about 50/50 for if I actually want them when they are really cheap.
Its underwhelming because the sales aren’t as great, and all the games that I’ve wanted I’ve bought.
Nothing new is all that enticing, and if it is it’s an indie title and doesn’t need to go on sale and therefore probably won’t.
Most indie titles are like 2.99 ~ 30 bucks tops. And all of the damn decent ones are around that 10~25 dollar range.
Why would I continue a game I have no interest in?
I play games for fun, not because I want to finish them.
If a game stops being fun, I go on to the next.
And you can’t stop me.
Ok but what about all the games you bought but haven’t even installed yet?
Hey listen here you little shit!
This is the correct mentality. Game fun? Play. Game not fun? Don’t play.
But… But… I have Factorio and Rimworld…
You better beat them.
😭😭😭😭😭
Lol.
But the new ones are new.
This person makes a very compelling argument.
The only point why I’m playing them. After some time, they are no longer new, so I’m looking for next one.
I’d never buy a new game again lol
…same
… So, what was your last game then?
The last game I got to the end of or the last game I bought?
Last game I beat was probably either Slime Rancher or Cyberpunk 2077, can’t recall which was most recent.
Last game I bought was Slime Rancher 2.
Last game I bought was Slime Rancher 2.
This one, I don’t know about this franchise, but enjoy it to the fullest.
It’s a nice game to relax with, would recommend.
Hey, here’s a radical thought… don’t force yourself to finish something just because you paid for it. A lot of games accumulated were prior to generous refund policy and back in the days of Bundles and stuff. Why would you force yourself to play something you don’t like.
Back in the days of bundles.
Looks at the 5 TRPG I just got yesterday for $15. So I could get 1 game I wanted that is always $20.
Exactly. People wonder why so many are praising Gaben, but decision to refund any game for any reason within 2h of play or 2 weeks of ownership is an awesome one. So many times game looks entertaining only to realize it’s bad.
You don’t have to look very far back to see the positives

Most people got refunds on the policy alone. The rest are getting them outside of policy by directly talking to Steam.
Do you think the same would happen in Epic?
No way. Epic doesn’t give a shit, although they do have a refund policy of sorts, it’s not as lax as Steam’s.
Jokes on you, most of my games are from bundles so I don’t even remember what I bought vs what I got for free
I refuse. If I lose interest in a game, I ain’t touching it until I’m ready. It’s one of the big reasons I quit FNV months ago in the middle of what will be my first ever completion of the game.
Hahahaha. No. You can’t make me!
Make me
Surely the new ones will give good chemicals! Old ones don’t give good chemicals!
Get in the robot shinji
No
“I’ll give more money to EA, Epic Games, Ubisoft, Riot Games or anything the community hypes up, then whine about how I’m mistreated, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Damn you Humble Bundle!
