Honestly I've not spoken to anyone else properly in ages. Just the two of us and vidya. It's good having someone to play with again and it's given me a chance to replay old series that I loved
Feels good man.
At least make friends in games online.
It ain't hard to be a cool guy on the internet.
>>316596595
Play some Black Ops III bro, that's a fun game. Lots of people you can meet on there if you want people to play with. Getting older's cool bro you get to be a man. Think positively and stay healthy. I don't have any friends either.
>>316596595
I used to think that but then I realized I was just burnt out on games and had other priorities that were taking me out of my enjoyment.
After I took a break and focused on getting my shit together a little bit I came back and am having a lot of fun again! This has been a bumper year for video games to be honest

>>316596595
As I get older, I find that I am becoming more "casual" and prefer easier games. I used to love great challenge, when I was in my late teens I loved things like Lost Levels or Zelda 2 (I wasn't around when they came out, I'm talking on emulators).
But now as I'm getting in my 20s, I start to get annoyed by challenge in games, especially open world games. When I want to explore a world, take in its atmosphere, learn all the dialogue and lore, I just hate dying and losing progress. It just seems to get in the way. I usually put on god mode when I have the option.
I still like challenge for platformer type games...But open world or adventure games? I don't know, I just don't like it.
>>316601712
>movies at 21
Op here, same shit happens to me aswell. I find myself needlessly fast forwarding threw every movie I ever watch.
Life is so empty its depressing to think about, the only thing I have going is I got a good job that pays $15/h and never even finished college.
>>316601895
This. I just can't bring myself to play massive 80+ hour games anymore. All of the games I've finished recently are either from Telltale or Nintendo.
>>316601842
this literally happened to me. new books are coming out though, might read those.
>tfw you realize games are no where near as enjoyable as years past
I feel that way about AAA gaming, but not games in general. Then again, PlayStation wasn't exactly AAA until mid into its lifecycle.
>tfw when you are 22 and mindlessly jump from game to game with no friends
I'm not 22, I turned 24 on Thursday. I don't jump from game-to-game either. I don't have any friends here.
>tfw you spend all your money trying to find that one game that will keep you occupied to ride out this shitty existence
I don't do this either. This year I bought Bloodborne and just replay my old games. Currently playing Thief II
>tfw you are not fat or unatractive but dont know where to start to make friends
I am not unattractive at all, infact, I would say I am attractive and probably quite handsome though I naturally lack normal eyebrows. I'd rather have some to pluck over geisha nubs and I also know how to make friends. I am just picky and would prefer to be surrounded by sexy girls instead.
>tfw life was so much easier when I was playing halo 2 allday with a full friends list and every single one of them was someone I played with.
I had that in college, except it wasn't Halo 2. It was Street Fighter IV. I don't miss that company nor do I crave it.
>tfw getting older sucks
Feels true. I feel like I get weaker every day even though I work out harder and harder each time.
>tfw why arent games fun anymore? I just want games to be fun.
They are. Just not as commonly fun because games aren't following the same formula you back then. There are games out there which are good, you just have to be smart about it. It's not new, but I am enjoying playing La-Mulana and Dark Souls.
>>316601895
Long games are becoming hard to deal with desu. I want a game that I can get absorbed in that is fun, but after playing the same thing for 100+ hours, I just want the game to finish. I feel like I'm just wasting time at that point.
Also, I hate long games that trick you into thinking you're going to finish them, only to slap you with a LOL NOPE YOU STILL HAVE 40 HOURS LEFT EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING HAS POINTED TO THE GAME BEING DONE IN THE NEXT HOUR.
>>316597935
>>316598096
>I don't have any friends either.
It's sad but also endearing.
I think a lot of people lose some good friends after school finally ends.
A lot of us in our 20's and most of the people we knew have had to move on or got busy with all sorts of other stuff. You never had a falling out, everyone has just been bust with other things.
The important thing to know is that our entire lives are ahead of us and we can do anything we want.
ANYTHING.
YOU CAN DO IT ANON.

None of it fucking matters. You need connections skills and experience.

Wage slavery is miserable, sure. But shouldering yourself with debt from a wedding and kids and jumping through bullshit hoops cuz you wanna feel like you fit in is just silly.
I'm 29, eloped with my wife, no friends, play vidya, and work cuz I gotta pay my debts. Sure, debt is a bullshit trap and a game, but it's the shit we swim in. You don't have to follow some retarded formula of success that your parents or friends defined for you. Do what makes you happy and don't worry about other people's opinions on your lifestyle. They're just guilting you so they can feel validated about their retarded life. It's how a lot of people are conditioned to behave.
I have friends from HS married with kids and their entire lives are work. They have to work 8+ hours at wage slave jobs so they can pay baby sitters to raise their kids or shove them off to school during the day, they are so tired at the end of the day they barely spend time with their kids and sit them in from of TV and vidya, and then they work their asses off on the weekends to make shit happen for their kids so they don't feel guilty about not being able to spend time with their kids. It's a fucking vicious cycle. If you want kids, go for it, but be warned it's all fucking work and little to no fun.
I have friends from HS with high paying jobs too with 60+ hour work weeks cuz that's what they gotta do to earn that salary. Big houses, nice cars, but their houses are empty or maybe have flashy shit. They have zero time to use or enjoy it though cuz they're so stressed about their work. It seems miserable.
Find a balance that works for you. Good luck out there.
Same but I don't buy games.
Last week or so I was playing ff9, and i spent about 2 hours for what could be summarized in 30 minutes and about 5 battles (which were slow mashing a even with a speedup patch applied)
I guess I just am not a child anymore. I can't enjoy these braindead things, at least a competitive game of some kind requires interaction. I just watch anime to fill the gap. Unless it's pure gameplay I won't play it, and even if it is pure gameplay, I always watch a series while playing.
They aren't fun because you don't have friends.
>>316604074
I did want to talk. I don't want to talk about this, however.
Of course I look better compared to a defeatist, that's just a fact and I wasn't doing it to compare myself; it's just some shitty thing you latched onto for no good reason.
If you were looking for an argument, you've picked the wrong guy. I don't give a shit.
This thread is dead and any hope of talking about the topic has been killed by you, or whoever, by being a pinheaded little weasel.
You have yourself to thank for that, not me.
The last thing I need to do in my life is prove myself here.
Again, thank yourself for ruining every possibility of discussion with your petty, pessimistic and unsocialble perception and don't forget to feel sorry for yourself while you rot in your fetid chair.

It's not explicitly horror, though it is tense. It's really the writing which is so gripping, which is why I recommend it - I think adults get nihilistic about games more easily than children, but if you play games that make you think you might be more inclined towards them on the whole. It feels like a mix between HP Lovecraft and Anton Chekhov within a survival stealth game
>tfw turned 27 yesterday
>tfw too old for video games now
>>316601895
I dont mind long games once im in the thick of them. But getting started is a pain. Especially old games where you have a hard time easing into the clunky controls and bad graphics.
Like kings bounty dark side. I got into it. But then the combat became a chore. I then finished it and restarted on easy. Being able to clear each battle in a few seconds was nice since I could explore without spending 50 turns in combat. And good lord is the game fucking packed with combat.
>>316606395
Why am I expected to start a conversation if someone else sent out that request and didn't bother talking?

I'll read a book, watch a movie. Because are much better for telling a story.
They're also much more realistic, high-profile and downright less cringeworthy.
Horror is a pathetic genre though, it's just artificial difficulty crap aimed at the lowest common domino. Only kids like horror because it's new to them. I'm not a fucking kid. There's nothing scary about fucking horror and horror simply lacks any type of actual development.
>>316606658
they add you because they enjoyed playing with you. They probably will again. Just say: hey wanna play [game] again. Ill invite.
If they respond you can have a nice game together. Also once you queue together you can easily strike up a chat. Once they know youre cool and play regularly with you it is natural for them too to invite you.
>>316605953
The distance you can see is minimal and using the map to move with waypoints is fucking tedious because clicking too far doesnt work.

I never though of it that way. I guess my social anxiety is worse than ever.
>>316607001
So I think it's clear why you hate vidya, you seem to hate anything new.
I wouldn't just aimlessly wander into a thread and spout bullshit, but I guess that's what we're working with normally so I guess I understand where you're coming from.
It's a good game and I assume you're either trolling or intellectually unwell, but to blindly read it as you are without any insight isn't going to do you any favors going forward.
I recently homebrewed my wii to get rid of this feel and everything except the snes emulator works. It was installed just the same as the gba and psx emu but it won't show up in the apps menu. I finally realized how outdated and uncomfortable 6th gen games really are and the snes has the best games library anyway. Wat do?
>>316607897
I find my social anxiety to be minimal in games. You can easily drop them and never run into them again.Too bad the last time I had a steady group of buddies to play with was years ago and now I cant find a decent online game to play where you can team up and screw around
>>316607001
At its heart, it's a game about building tension through well interwoven systems. The writing all alludes to this, the story is built around this tension, and generally speaking it's a clever romp. Don't dismiss it outright on the grounds someone else established - "horror" implies too much and speaks to too little in describing this game.
>>316607213
>Music and setting feel sad. Like a child growing up and the magic slowly going away.
You have no idea how well you summed up the game. The entire game revolves around the antagonism between technology and magic. But yeah, if it's not the mood you're looking for and the gameplay is tedious then don't waste your time.
There are plenty of thought provoking RPG's out there
I was feeling similar to how you guys sound for a while. What turned out is that I was going through depression without even knowing it was depression I thought that it's just normal to feel like this when you hit certain age.
I did get my shit together, changed a bunch in my life, found my dream girl and married her after a while and now I'm feeling really relaxed and cheerful most of the time.
Now I have tons and tons of games that I want to play and I'm enjoying every single one of them a lot, even the bad ones because I can make fun of em.
You nigs need to keep in mind that you still can enjoy vidya. The light is still there, deep down, just don't give up on it. Just remind yourself of what made you play video games in the first place. The love is still there nigs.

Tedious is vague in this context, but I'll give some recommendations.
D&D rule set games, if you like that stuff. These are real time with pause combat types:
Planescape: Torment, considered one of the best ever. It has incredible story, writing, music, and atmosphere. The combat isn't fun but it's pretty easy to destroy shit. The game shines in the world it creates and the ideas it explores
Baldur's Gate 2, a definitive D&D adeventure. The combat is fun, and you get to start around level 7 which in D&D means you don't go down in 2 shots. Great story, fun companions, awesome music, and an excellent antagonist. Also, wizards can become death incarnate in this game making them fun to play and fight.
Neverwinter Nights + Hordes of the Underdark, a more straight forward D&D adventure. Combat is fun although simplified since you don't have a party. Story is meh but Hordes of the Underdark, one of the expansions, is a excellent overall.
RPG's not based on D&D:
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, there have been many threads about this game. This is a cult classic and easily the best RPG ever for some people. Dark, funny, epic sound track, and unforgettable characters. A serious must play.
I can get you a few more if you're interested.
>>316610376
already played planescape: torment, neverwinter nights, vampire
I was thinking of baldurs gate but I crashed after the tutorial. I tried to walk through a gate and it crashed. I guess I should try and fix it.
>that feel when 26 and know these feels

I was thinking of trying to play ARMA 3, I bought it back when it first released but my PC wasn't good enough at the time to run it and I just never bothered to try it again.

BG1 feels very different from 2. Just a heads up, you start as a weakling in BG1 and you're gonna be save scumming through for a while.
I recommend the original Fallout games too if you haven't tried those out.
Deus Ex isn't a traditional RPG or Open World, but it's pretty much one of the games that pioneered the genre.
>>316596595
>that one game that will keep you occupied to ride out this shitty existence
No such game exists nor ever will exist, OP.
The problem isn't the games. The problem is with you.
>>316610982
Already played Deus ex and human revolution. Got halfway with DX IW
Tried FO1 but I admit I didnt get far. The problem I have with most old games is that I try to get both social and warrior. While most of the time going 1 of the two goes better. I will try FO1 later again but Im looking for an RPG that eases you in.

I couldn't even get past China in Deus Ex HR. That game just left a bad taste in my mouth, and I tried playing it multiple times.
Yeah, a lot of older RPG's do not ease you into things. Part of the charm was experimenting and playing around to find out what works for you. Fallout 1 is one of my favorite RPG's of all time. Be sure to have a high AG score for action points in combat and you'll be fine.
You're right about the games kinds funneling you into either warrior or smooth talker, but I feel that's the charm since I saw it that of you work on your physical skills your social skills won't improve and vice versa.
More of the modern RPG's ease into things better.
Mass Effect 2 was a lot of fun with easy to learn combat and memorable companions.
The Witcher 2 was fun for me too. I never played the first or 3rd so the story was cool but felt like dropping into game of thrones mid season. The combat felt weighty and challenging which was fun, and the mature take on people was nice. I got tired of bland "HEYA HOW YA DOIN'?!" NPC's in games and enjoyed whores walking around cat calling and that the characters were more nuanced and less black and white in their presentation. More focus on personal perspectives was cool.

>>316611836
not him, but my suggestion (or what helped me break that "tired gamer" feeling) is picking up a game that either has a big learning curve or a game with lots of replay ability. For my I picked up Street Fighter and man, I have dumped at least 1500 hours into that alone. There is so much to learn and it takes so damn long to get even close to good, extremely rewarding. I also play competitive CS:GO (esea/cevo) which is fun and really does take a lot of skill.
Try out RTS, mobas, fighting games or FPS and see if you find something. For me I need a game that is CHALLENGING so there is massive incentive for me to keep playing and improve myself. Even in CS:S, there is a community that does Bhop and man, I have spent a good 700 hours in css only doing bhop maps and getting good at strafing. My 2 cents

The problem I have with charm is that it often works to a certain point, then you have to fight and you get wrecked. With fighter only you just slaughter shit. With a mix I hope to talk to most people and punch the dudes you cant talk. But those are mostly boss dudes which means your medium fighting skills dont really work well enough.
Also I already played W2 and W3. I really like W2, since it allowed you to talk with most people and be pretty reasonable. While you could still fight well enough. W3 was more of the same but then padded out with filler and open world.
Any other RPGs?You hopefully understand how hard it is to find a decent RPG once you played most of the games /v/ recommended.

Seriously, you might really love pathologic if you've not played it yet. A new translation just came out making it playable for non Russians. It's a little clunky but so worth your time if you got into those other titles
There are two people in threads like these with situations like OPs.
Whining normalfags who are just now realizing what they are, and people who would have nothing stopping them from enjoying things if it wasn't 2015 and plebeians weren't everywhere.

Yeah, after the witcher 2 I can't be bothered with 1 or 3. It just seems like a chore. And i dunno what it was about DX:HR but so much of it felt cringey to me. Jensen was cool, but the social programmjng mini game during convos made me not give a shit about what was being said. I guess it felt too gimmicky for me.
I'm getting over these overly long franchise games with continuing story lines. Like TV shows that go on too long they all jump the shark or recycle the same tropes and it's getting harder for me to put on the denial shades.
I miss when games were made as stand alone titles with a quality story. Quantity gets more money and all that so I know that's how it's gonna be, but damn it's harder to find those gems. They're out there, it's just harder to hear them over the roar of AAA hype trains.
Lately I've only been enjoying semi competitive online games, like RO2 and HotS.
>>316612912
I dont like horror or horrorlike games. Pathologic just gives me the creeps
>>316612596
I know, after going through /v/ recommendations it does get hard to find new titles.
Honestly, I bought Pathologic when it was on sale. I haven't played it yet but I might start since this guy >>316612912
is recommending it. That and the threads I've read on Pathologic are some of the best literal discussions about a video game I've seen on /v/ possibly ever.

I don't remember writing this....
21 and games are as fun as ever. The trick is not forcing it if you're burned out and not using vidya for escapism. Second being easier said than done but as far as burning out goes just cycle your hobbies and interest. After a few months you'll naturally feel like playing some vidya and you might enjoy it. Probably.
>>316608382
Pretty much a perfect example of what I meant.
>>316602312
>No friends since college
>Not bothered to meet new people
>Still enjoy vidya
Not sure if the loneliness made it all numb, but it feels liberating not to deal with other people's baggage and not having them deal with mine either.
24 here and I still love playing vidya.
PS2 emulation is a godsend.
>>316596595
Hobbies can augment a fulfilling life but they can't replace a shitty one.
I wrote "games" originally but replaced it with "Hobbies" because it applies to all of them.
It seems like a decent number of people who have this problem limit themselves to AAA titles. Or is it hard to find decent gems these days? I'm finding myself adding to the backlog almost on a daily basis.
>>316596595
Time to grow the fuck up, Anon.

I just love these furry, adorable bastards.
Watching them flap about on an iceberg is suprisingly relaxing.

Come play zombies with me anon

>why arent games fun anymore? I just want games to be fun.
Stop taking /v/ seriously friend, and maybe you'll stop being a jaded asshole that only nitpicks everything.
If you guys actually gave enough of a shit about trying to get games developers to craft the game as you "the players" want them, you need to need to petition.
I see enough potential in Rainbow 6: Siege I actually decided to try and do something about it. Admittedly, I'm late to posting it, so the game will most likely follow through. But I didn't want to just do nothing waiting for another annual half-assed, cashcow game that has no lasting value.
Ubisoft has the renown and resources to turn this game into something even more special, but they're driven by their deadline to make more and more money.
However, we are the cogs in their industrial machine and we can have them make the game that we want if we tell them to fucking stop and listen to us for once.
Just some food for thought.

I tried out Deus Ex : HR and afterwards i felt like it was a waste of money.
How often do you guys feel this? Should you push on, keep playing 'till it gets enjoyable or just drop it?
I found myself a mix of those. If i spent a good amount of money on the game, i will atleast try and play it 'till it gets better. But if i spent like a few bucks on it, i just shrug it off and play something else.

There's no winners here.

nigger you are 22. these are the good times. you dont know what id give to be back at that age again. suck it up, go out and meet poeple. its shit scary but once you strike up a conversation its easy.

>tfw games come by way too easily thanks to having a job and steam sales.
>you will never be a kid again driving back from the store with mummy, reading the manual in excitement to play your new game
>tfw you will never autistically pour tons of time into a single game exploring ever nook and cranny cause you cant buy games on your own.
>>316615972
100% truth
>tfw 27 and enjoying games on all platforms
>>316616639
I remember having masturbated to that AV. I didn't like her voice very much, but it was good porn.
>tfw no longer draw enjoyment from anything
>tfw it feels like I'm simply living to live
Would have killed myself long ago if not for my family and friends being hurt by such an event
>>316616639
Yeah that's pretty nice about being older. I can say "Man I want to play Smash on Wii U" and pick up the bundle without problems. Of course then saying "Man I want to play Smash on Wii U with friends" sometimes ends up in hanging out with some lame people.
>be a kid

Hey, I'm also living out of habit and not killing myself because of others. I also really like Minami-ke. We should be friends.

I only watch jav on mute. Only way i can fap to it.
>>316617602
I've watched a few where the girl was quiet and her quiet gasps and moans were very nice to hear. Also, what the fuck is the context of that picture?
Faggots gonna fag, the thread.
>spend truckloads of time in WoW between 15 and 19
>talking about 8 hours daily on average for 2 years
>gets a bit uninteresting, give it up because i have to quit raiding due to new job
>meet an old friend again, find out he plays LoL, remember i have played it casually and got to silver 3
>get good in it, up to plat 3 in about 200 ranked games
>lose interest in it because at some point you know everything and so do the others so climbing takes a lot more time
with my timesinks gone i often find myself sitting at my computer one hour after coming home, not knowing what the fuck to do
so i just browse 4 chins and watch a video here and there and maybe spend an hour in some game just to get bored again
>>316618513
>teen years are LoL and WOW
fuck. What a terrible thing to look back upon. Im in the same boat as you. I cant find anything fun.

the girl probably puked right at the moment of the shot

There's your problem OP, look to the past and pirate all videogames. Multiplayer games are NOT going to renew your passion, if anything it will stifle it.
Unless you have some kinda autism and you want to get perfect tech in some game
>>316596595
don't play 7th/8th gen games
stick to 6th gen< games
>>316617602
they bullied her
>>316608007
>how outdated and uncomfortable 6th gen games
I still find a lot of PS2 games playable.
Also, GBA emulation is pretty bad on the Wii tried playing Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and the game had a pretty bad frame-rate. PS1 is pretty much unplayable.
Also, as for the emulators not showing up in the HBC menu, have you copied the contents to your apps folder in the SD card? Make sure that there isn't anything other than a boot.dol and png (banner) inside of the emulator folder before copying it to your apps folder.

Is this the /r9v/ thread? I understand these vidya feels.
>>316612952
>I'm not normal like everyone else on /v/
you really do not notice how ironic your entire comment is?
I've played video game all my life. I have also had sex with over 2000 women.
I'm 26 and I play videogames with my 23 year old sister all the time.
