What's a hardcore game? I thought Dark Souls was hardcore?
>>37393457
Dark souls is no longer one with the aspies. Its as deep in casual pop culture trash as csgo or fallout.
>>37393473
I've played it once and it pushed my shit in, I wouldn't call it casual. Casual games are easily approachable and it wasn't
How can anyone 18+ even enjoy video games.
I am 28 now. I can't remember the last time I played a video game without stopping after 2 minutes due to feeling insanely guilty for some reason. I just can't play them anymore, regardless of how good or bad life is going.

this gets you nothing, it wastes your time, you do not create something real while playing those games, even that "happyness" is just an illusion your beta head creates so you dont escape your sad life

this actually gets you respect, pussy, a healthy body, aesthetics, strength, it makes you achieve REAL things, you can make use of it, you have to work hard for it and you get rewarded with wet, hot pussy.

Sure op go ahead, play video games. But keep in mind every minute you spend playing video games is wasted time. Read a book, learn a language, just go out and discover the world. Nobody ever looks back in his life and says :"damn I really wish that I looted that cave in fallout 4"

Truly this is suffering. I'd play if I could anon
>>37393632
It sounds like you let them consume you.
If I enjoy games but don't shirk my other responsibilities, is that a bad thing?
Really I wish I had more time et all. Being a wage slave so tightly restricts what I can do with my free time. I don't keep any friends outside of my gf and one or two other people, then just people in my clan / guild.
>>37393664
This basically it's just 40 - 60 min
/vr/ here. old games and handhelds are best. they literally on require 10-20 minutes of your day and do wonders resetting your brain for the day. ill go to work, gym, and maybe play 15 minutes of darius or contra. turn it off and read/eat/sleep.

Post this on /v/ and they'll tell you otherwise.

Don't tell others what's important and what matters.
you niggers seriously think reading and playing are equally beneficial, jesus christ
>muh interactive art

>There are people who will suggest reading a book over video games
Both are equally wastes of time if not for educational purposes.
Fucking bookfags thinking their waste of time and escape from reality is superior to any other.
People can't factor in both? Really? With a full time job + hour for gym + time for study + gf I still have a bit of down time. Some of y'all just have shit time managements skills/dick around too much.
>>37394089
it will, just look around, vidya is becoming more mainstream every day, the generation from 1995+ is very concentrated on vidya, plus we have things like VR that will attract a lot of people, my mom saw a vid about the oculus rift and i told her that we could get it for around $500 later this year and she said she wanted to buy it

Video games are the equivalent to crack in the entertainment industry.
When's the last time someone told you I don't feel like working out because of a book they liked?
How many kids died of malnutrition because parents couldn't put down a book? Happened with WoW.
Video games are like real life without the drawbacks and benefits.
If anything it's going to get much worse with augmented/virtual reality

You could say the exact same thing about movies, books, television, youtube, browsing 4chan and the list goes on. And on top of that, none of those things are wastes of time. They're all platforms to share ideas and stories and philosophies and culture. It is possible to improve yourself without being able to physically notice the improvements on your body you short-sighted, narrow-minded mongoloid.

Reading this makes me somewhat angry. Either you never read books and just assume what it's like, or you read them and don't realize how they educate you on a whole other level than video games do. Or you only read scifi trash. Either way you're dumb as a rock. There's so much more to reading a book than a nice story or whatever you imagine they are.

He doesn't read. No one in their right mind can say reading is the same as playing video games.
Literally one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. Probably a under-age child, or manchild.
I use to be the biggest edgy faggot that never would touch a book. Then when I started reading the benefits were pretty much instantaneous. My writing improved, my spelling improved, I gained a sense of imagination back that I had lost through years of video games. Reading also dramatically increased my vocabulary.
I focus on topics I find interesting. Reading a lot of books on Ancient Greece and Rome right now.
Not sure how I turned into such a bookfag after spending my entire life being against it (for whatever reason I don't even know)
>>37394560
>>37393495
I totally agree. I'm 27 and my friends spend the majority of their time playing video games. Even when we're hanging out they're playing overwatch or some other bullshit. I can't stand it. I understand that it's their life and everything, but it's just sad to see people waste their time in front of a fucking tv when the sun is shinning.

No different from wasting time out in the sun
>>37394630
I eventually stopped seeing the friends I use to have that kept on playing video games.
Even one of my family members, my cousin. We use to play games together all the time when we were kids, back in the 90s, Age of Empires online, other games in the early 2000s.
Now we're both in our late 20s, and his life is still literally gaming. I grew out of it and moved on in life and I just have nothing in common with him anymore.
I've tried to bring him out of the trance that he is stuck in (that I was also stuck in) but he just refuses. The guy is like 95lbs and pasty white and recently had to go to the hospital because he fainted playing Overwatch.
I made the best gains in life after I quit playing video games, also lost my virginity at 23 I thought I'd be a virgin for life. Wasted so much time and money on video games I regret it.

Last train is the best dlc
>>37395645
Fuck yea it is, the co-op is pure sex. My first character was hammer/shotgun Tank; fuck she was fun. Running a blood/rifle healbot this time, extremely durable in solo too.
>cut back
See we only play when we're both free, makes it a good tool for curbing playing.
>last train
Haven't gotten that yet, but the Tyler freeborn one was hnnnnggggg. Fucking love the lore/writing for that game.
Also, illuminati best faction.
I'm newish to getting /fit/ with a 40hr/week maintenance job, but I still find time for vidya. Working hard and getting into shape make it so much more rewarding to take a break and play the division for a few hours.
