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.
NO
But the new ones are new.
The only point why I’m playing them. After some time, they are no longer new, so I’m looking for next one.
This person makes a very compelling argument.
Damn you Humble Bundle!
A rare moment of rationality from Asuka.
I finished Axiom Verge, what more do you want from me?!?
But… But… I have Factorio and Rimworld…
You better beat them.
That’s the plan for 2024. No new games until I beat the ones I have now.
Once you get like two hundred games you haven’t played much, you give up and buy whatever makes you feel good briefly.
No. Don’t you have a depressed teenager to harass?

The PS5 shortage sucked but it helped me play and finish all the PS4 games I wanted to play, except for GoT which I completed recently.
I’m mostly using my PS5 to play PS4 games, if I’m being honest.
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.
Indies are the bright path. Been absolutely fucking enthralled with Signalis lately, and it was made by less than a handful of people.
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.
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.
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 😰
Nope, I bought Snowrunner this week and I’m having a great time with it, I would not be having a great time with most of my “backlog”. There’s a reason unplayed games stay unplayed.
I cant. Fuck elden ring at this point. Fuck it very much. Its nice, its good. But I’m done dying.
Starfield is a dog. That’s 60 euros down the drain. I never see me complete that.
Telltale the Expanse was good, as a prequel to the show. Not as a game.
God of war is mediocre. That’s not a game. That’s a collection of pretty pictures with a prompt to mash specific button xyz. Another 40 euro lost.
Cyberpunk was and is great. But I’ve completed it 7 or 8 times now. Phantom liberty does break the game though, too many legendary weapons and mods which break the balance. But still, nice story, a lot to do.
I bought something else also this year. That was also shit.
AAA games are shit these days.
