Mine is all farming/sim/tower defense. Because I no longer play (have the visual acuity for) fps I’ve heard I’m not a real gamer.
Sounds like it’s RPG time. Baldurs Gate 3. The original dragon age. ME trilogy. Dishonored 1 & 2. Fallout 3 or 4. Divinity original sin. Greedfall.
I have BG3 and I’ve played through a handful of times…I can’t bring myself to finish. I keep going back. I recently bought Divinity. I’ll add the rest to my list. =)
I can’t bring myself to finish.
I have the same habit, but recently discovered it's apparently a neurodivergence symptom, heh.
Co-op with friends made me finish BG3 though.

Divinity shows you why Wizards of the Coast went with Larian. At the time I played it popped as a game that had a lot of developer love, after seeing a lot of decline within the industry.

I highly recommend Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, too. If you really want a RPG to play

What's your top three tower defense games?
Currently enjoying emberward. I really liked dungeon defenders and I played hundreds of hours of that. Kingdom rush. There’s a more mobile-like game islet defender or something. Gemcraft? I didn’t like bloons or plants vs zombies… Oh well, those are the ones I liked and if you have any recommendations glad to hear em.

Bah! Real gamers play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Idk why but pac man is the most anxiety inducing game I've ever played.
Is it because you're just a disembodied mouth, eating pills in the dark while being haunted by ghosts?
Probably more to do with the "ceaseless" nature of it, you can't even stop and rest, it's just pacman forever and ever.

Until Dawn catching strays
My eye immediately went to Until Dawn & Detroit: Become Human, and I was like "Wait! Both these are dope!"
I really like Butterfly Effect decision games.
I didn't play Detroit for so long because I expected it to be like most other interactive movie type games where you maybe make 3 total decisions that actually have an effect on the whole story. Checked it out on PS+ and still felt that way up until I finished the first level and it shows the fucking massive decision tree of all the possible choices you could have made in that segment and was blown away. Hella them I didn't even notice were viable things I could have tried.
This is what these kinds of games should be. It's fucking amazing. It actually gives replayability to something that, in the past, was more of a one and done deal.
Bruh, yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm actually getting ready to replay D:BH again because the last time I played was about 1.5+ years ago, and I think I've finally forgotten all my decisions. My husband said I got one of the best endings he's ever seen someone get, and I really didn't want to be tempted to answer everything the same. There's SO MANY ways that game can go/end, and I want to explore them all!
I made the mistake of playing Until Dawn first, then D:BH, and then I downloaded the Dark Pictures Anthology and played 2 out of the 4 of those. I'm sure those would have hit different had I played them first, but knowing that the ending is ultimately the same no matter which direction you go definitely ruins the replayability. All 4 run into the very issue you were worried about with Detroit.

Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.
Something inside you is not being satisfied by gaming, and you need to listen to that voice. It doesn't mean you won't ever enjoy games again, but it also means you need to find that fulfillment in order to enjoy them again.
I recommend figuring out what the last thing you did was that you really felt free from outside thought and were focused on, or what left you feeling satisfied with your own efforts. Was it an art project? Something you cooked? A hike you went on?
Your brain is screaming at you to make something of your experiences, to have a sense of growth and proceeding forward towards a goal. It doesn't have to be career or studying either, we're not wired to feel fulfilled from answering the phone for 8 hours a day, nor are we wired to feel fulfilled extracting virtual loot, at least not long-term, we're wired to feel fulfilled creating things with our hands or moving our body.
I stopped enjoying games, so I started making games. Totally new experience, feels completely different and after getting past some initial hurdles of feeling overwhelmed, it's now addicting. I have no idea if I'll ever launch a real, finished game, but there's incredible satisfaction in making your first hallway that you can run and jump through, it feels far different than buying and downloading even the most expensive commercial game release. I've played a thousand hallways and crates and jumping, but that first one I made myself beats them all. And now I have new appreciation for some indie game that some person made, I feel a connection and it makes games more enjoyable.
I used to draw a lot back then. My loss of interest for games gradually made me go back to drawing and I am fine with it, it is nearly a decade I have not drawn until I decided to work on something yesterday on a paper. Did my first dedicated drawing yesterday and I am planning to do more in the next weeks 🙂.
I still play games sometimes though (warframe, minecraft, worldox) but again just for a few minutes and rarely an hour or more.

That doesn't look like a gaming laptop, either. $20 says it has integrated graphics.
Reminds me of the "gaming laptops" at Walmart. The other day I saw a RoG laptop being sold with an AMD 740M, a integrated GPU from 2023 with performance from 2010. They dressed it up all pretty with RGB and a 144hz display to make it look like it could actually run games, and then had the nerve to charge $699 for it.
I hate shit like this so much cause people who don't know any better will buy this thing, get 15 FPS in modern titles and think that PC gaming sucks, when it's just their computer that sucks.

The idea that this same person would actually play something with as much soul as Until Dawn is pretty unbelievable. Can you believe they have like, emotions and crap? Plus just so much talking, I mean come on. They don’t even have a BattlePass!

G*mers:"The fuck kind of bullshit is this"
How have I never heard of the Detroit game?
It's incredible, and unique in that nobody else is really making those types of games, and it has AAA-tier production values.
it's from the makers of "Heavy Rain" and "Beyond: Two souls". The player has to play the role of three different humanoid androids throughout the game, and make choices that heavily affect the gameplay. Depending on the choices you make with every character, their story and outcome changes their future paths. It's a good game, and can be bought quite cheap at sales. The acting is really good IMO.
It’s a choose your own adventure take on the civil rights movement set in the future. Because of course society will have to deal with this shit all over again.
I mean I'm also guilty of playing like the same 5 games, haven't moved on since like 2023
alternatively, own hundreds of games and play none of them

I so much wait for the next game from Quantic Dream. Detroit is one of my all time favourites. There was no better visual novel yet.
