Anyone have this problem or something like it?

Yeah dude I just jack off and sit in my cummy underpants ts all day until I fall back to sleep it really helps

Sort of, I have tons of design documents and have even started making some games but always get bored and stop before finishing them.

Any ideas you can share?

What kind of ideas?

>Have neither the skill nor the resources to even attempt making your ideal game
And if you did you'd quickly realize the massive constraints that limit what sort of and the amount of content you can realistically implement.

I wish games were much more challenging, but less in a sense of learning combinations of skills and the mechanics of the game, but based on simple tasks that can gradually become more difficult until you are constantly being challenged to your very ability.

The games I'm playing right now are Luminosity, and while they are very simple, they are challenging and demanding. I wish I could play a game that has the budget and production values of a AAA game, but challenges me like much simpler games are able to do. I'm not sure how this would apply to action games, but I've thought a lot how this could apply to RPGs.

I also wish games just game with a speed button, so no matter what game you were playing, you could modify the speed at your will if you think it's going too slow. Supposedly, there are programs that allow this, but I've never seen them demoed and I currently don't have a gaming PC to use them.

I'm not claiming I'm superior to anybody. Maybe nobody would like the games I want. Maybe I wouldn't.
>>
>>333400278
And this is a somewhat legitimate problem people have.

I've fucked several, none was worth the time or effort put into it. Even the girl I had a one night stand with wasnt worth the pussy.

If you have no idea how to make a game, your game ideas are bad. It's as simple as that.

Fantasy games been out for years.

The list goes on and on.

>>333400810
That's not necessarily true. I could have an idea for a game, learn how to make a game, and then implement that idea, and a good game could be created. I might modify them, but my ideas are somewhat hazy. I suppose they're "bad" in the sense that I couldn't make a complete game out of them, but I think they have potential.

>>333401035
If you acquire the skills to make a game, the statement no longer applies. Duh.
>>
>>333401115
>if you don't know how to make a game
What would make you infer that?
>>
>>333401230
Because an idea without execution is worthless.
>>
>>333401213
Yeah, but I also appreciate the triple AAA production values. I could feel like this about movies and there would be no way I could produce anything that would be satisfactory and have it compare with the best Action movies.

I think it would be easier to mod games to my liking than make one from scratch.
>>
>>333397409
if it doesn't exist
it just means its not possible
every person on earth is an "idea guy"
your not special OP
deal with it
>>
>>333401630
I didn't say I was special. In fact, that was the point of the thread. I wanted to see if there were other people like me.
>>
>>333401739
we all have ideas about games
thats nothing special
>>
>>333401829
Okay, but the question was whether these ideas prevent you from enjoying the games that are available.
>>
>>333401965
why should it?
if wanna make your dream game go ahead
nothing is stopping you aside from not knowing how to make one
but that can be fixed
there are tons of guides on how to make games
>>
>>333402202
Is it conceivable that I'm fixated enough my ideas to enjoy video games less, but not enough to make them?
>>
>>333402525
If you're a douchebag maybe.

>I MISS MY IDEAS SOOO MUCH I CANT ENJOY THIS MEDIUM WIDELY ENJOYED BY EVERYONE
>dont miss them enough to do something about it tho :^)
>>
>>333402525
lower your expectations
video games have been stagnating for years because publishers want more money so they spend less on developing games
its more about profit these days than making a good game
>>
>>333397409
Miyamoto in the making.
>>
>>333402736
So, should I force myself to like available games, or go through all the effort to make one for myself. I know it's just impossible for to make a game that suits my ideal, so it would be more of an effort to make a game within my ability and resources, even though I could buy a game that would be objectively better in almost every regard.
>>
>>333402847
I don't have any nostalgia. I don't say, "Video games used to be better and I wish modern games were more like that." If that were the case, I would just play those games.

>>333404182
Is there a problem?
>>
>>333397409
I get that too, a lot. But it doesn't really prevent me from enjoying games that I consider good.
>>
>>333404910
Maybe I should say it prevents me from trying games.
