Why do you regret ENJOYING is of all things?
How does that even make sense as a statement?
>>
>>333447074

i regret playing it for 90 fucking hours and having fun with it because it got to the point where the bullshit was so strong i refused to ignore it

> regret enjoying

/v/ has fallen so low as to regret positive feelings. What a world.

okay fine

a more accurate description would be

it took me 90 hous to start fucking hating it
>>
>>333448195
90 hours of enjoyment from a videogame is still pretty fucking impressive mate. What in earth have you been smoking?
>>
>>333446792
>Only 90 hours

Holy shit, you pleb.

Did you even 50% survey?
>>
>>333448292

true, but i had to ignore all the shitty memes and sjw quests to do so

>regret enjoying
Too puritan 4 me

Such as...?
>>
>>333448457

that showdown with lao in the second last chapter killed the game for me

even worse was that despite being this really kind traditionalist guy he betrayed humanity in the most retarded way possible. just sort of tacked on there to contradict literally everything else about his personality?

Well thanks for the spoilers faggot
>>
>>333448758

the alex jones-esque racist who kills aliens, the 'force shopkeeper to allow aliens into her store' quest, all the 'muh environmentalist' shit elma spouts at the beginning

as for memes, the bad jokes, lin threatening to eat tatsu at the start of every chapter, and generally you being stuck with the most annoying mary sues possible for half your missions
>>
>>333449086
Okay, so those minor elements made you "regret enjoying" the game.

I'm going to say that again as it's so funny
Regret enjoying

This is like that "fun is just a buzzword" anon

You regret enjoying a videogame because of a few memes and environmentalist messages. You enjoyed the game, and yet regret it. You had fun at your own admittance, yet regretted having fun.

Fun really is just a buzzword, huh?

DaS2. I played it through ten times before I learned it was bad.

>>333449470
Actually all that shit would get fucking tedious when all you wanna do is fight space monsters with a cool space weapons and a mech, no strings attached
>>
>>333450368
The game's cutscenes are extremely short, and OP didn't say the game got worse, he he "regret enjoying" it. The phrase still baffles me.

Do guys not know how a guilty pleasure works? You enjoy it, then you hate yourself for enjoying it. This know different, you don't have too keep revisiting it for it to be a guilty pleasure
>>
>>333449470

>a few memes
>a few instances of sjwism

this was half the story, which isn't saying much since you probably only got 10 hours of story max

the game was littered with problems

>mary sues forced on you on half the affinity missions and all story missions
>most of the aliens are retarded
>nopon reappearing for no reason
>tatsu.
>side characters scattered all across the city making it a pain in the ass to switch
>shulk switched out for a half-assed attempt at a player insert which amounts to the rare 'be an ass' or 'don't be an ass' choice and OP pic related facial expressions
>final boss has an attack that drains all your fuel
>final boss has no foreshadowing at all and is pretty much there 'because'
>forced to use ground combat you're completely unprepared for because skell combat was so vastly superior for the last 40 hours
>writing generally a shit
>confrontation with lao
>most of the game is spent running around collecting <x item> or picking up <x collectible>
>annoying censorship like lack of breast slider
>cliffhanger ending because they didn't bother making any meaningful progress at all in the pathetic 10 hour campaign

U G H
>>
>>333450959
So why didn't OP call it a guilty pleasure?
Although even then, his complaints would make very little sense since he still stated he found the game enjoyable and fun.
>>
>>333451083
There is no way you played all that (enjoyed it and had fun) in just 90 hours. I'm calling total bullshit OP
>>
>>333451310
Not him but I finished the story in 100 hours doing every single sidequest. 185 hours until 100% survey.

The term "guilty pleasure" is just fucking retarded and shows your insecurity in your own taste. If you like it, just like it.

lao pretty much killed it for me.

As someone who has actually put 90 hours into this game, the memes and shit you are talking about are so fucking miniscule they're ridiculous
>>
>>333451580
Guilty Pleasure works.

Like for a personal example, I consider Fable 2 and 3 a guilty pleasure.
Because I know they suck.
I always knew they sucked.
And yet I enjoy them for reasons I can't rightly identify.

I don't regret enjoying them.
I just am aware of their low quality.
>>
>>333451748
SO WHY DOES OP EXPLICITLY SAY HE REGRET ENJOYING IT AND REGRET HAVING FUN WHAT THE FUCK MAN
>>
3000 hours in GTAO
>>
>>333451679
not him but
desu that was pretty much the reason i made this thread

xenoblade x makes me MAD

such a failure compared to the original

i forgot to mention
>generic sci-fi setting as opposed to epic sci-fantasy set on dead gods
>no meaningful PC-other character interaction, and little intercharacter interaction
>no 40 plus hour storyline
>no epic boss
>obvious end game (versus two assumed endgames in the original)

Destiny, I spent a fuck ton of time in Destiny until TTK and then I realized Bungie wasn't actually interested in fixing any of the problems because they knew idiots would buy their overpriced DLC every time (like me)

And before you say it, no, it's not fun with friends. Playing the raid 10 times a week is NOT fun. And the PvP is unbalanced as fuck. Now days I waste my time with Halo 5
>>
>>333451969
The mechanics in X are objectively better but the story and cast objectively worse. This is not news to anyone by now.
>>
>>333452052
Sorry this thread is for people that regret having fun, like OP somehow did
>>
>>333451937
Fuck man, I dunno.
Maybe he has brain problems.

Maybe instead of dopamine he has a neurochemical that causes severe pain when he enjoys something.
So in those 90 hours he was constantly shrieking in agony as his brain was trying to communicate to him that he was being torn apart by wolves.
>>
>>333452148
I had some fun, I think I did anyway
>>
>>333452196

i know this is /v/, but...

>enjoy something, ignoring it's flaws
>'straw that broke the camel's back'
>no longer able to ignore all the flaws
>hate the game and wish you had played something better
>>
>>333452523
But he didn't say he felt it got too bad to play anymore, he explicitly said he regret enjoying it and regret having the fun he had
>>
>>333446792
>regretting enjoying things
/v/ just hit a new level
No fun allowed in the past, present and future
>>
>>333452680

that's the point?

it was fun, but now you hate the game and regret having that fun
>>
>>333452523
Still don't see how you can "regret" the time that was enjoyable.

I can understand getting to a point where you don't want to put up with the problems, but that doesn't negate the enjoyment from before, at least to me.

I gave up with Xeno X when I got to the post game and everything proceeded to one shot my Skell and the only thing I could do was grind my ass off for the supa-OP shit.
I found those things frustrating as fuck when you get a boss down to say 25% and it creates 1000 clones of itself and then heals itself back to full.

However it didn't stop me from fondly thinking of the childlike joy I had when I finally unlocked the flying Skell and proceeded to do nothing but a Mira World Tour for 2 hours.
>>
>>333452729
Fun is just a buzzword

>>333452854
That is no what OP said, though. He only said he regret enjoying and having fun with it, as if that fun was suddenly null and void. It just doesn't make sense no matter how you spin it, OP.
>>
>>333452865
i admit it was nice exploring the world and flying for the first time

it's extremely bittersweet though, looking back. for the first few hours i was disappointed before i willfully ignored the flaws and started focusing on the positive
>>
>>333453352
Guess all I can recommend now is to take that as a lesson for the future.

I'd feel that any game where you have to willingly try and convince yourself you're having fun isn't one to keep putting time into.
Times like that I can understand having regret for, since it's not enjoyment but instead trying to force the enjoyment.

No, I won't call it fake enjoyment.
>>
>>333452680
It's very common in puritans.
>>
I could understand if you said you regret enjoying a MMO or something, because those are timewasters of the highest quality
>>
>>333453684

i mean i DID legitimately enjoy it, but i had to constantly overlook all the stupid shit to do so and not let myself dwell on the disappointments

but yeah i see what you're saying. luckily gamestop had a 50% trade-in bonus soon after and i got 40 back for it

OP, what the hell is wrong with you.
I'd understand if you said "fuck, I spent 60 obamas on this shit" and had no fun with it at all, but you're telling me that the enjoyment the game gave you for 90 hours is null.
This doesn't make a lick of sense.
I mean, I liked some shitty bands back when I was a shitty teenager and I admit nowadays that they're shitty but I can't deny I enjoyed it back then.
You might be spending too much time thinking that /v/ is unallowed to enjoy videogames.
Stop, take a break, take a deep breath and rethink this, for your own good.

I had a similar experience with Last of Us.

I thought it looked nice, but the gameplay and general depressing nature just wore on me and I just didn't find any joy in picking it up or trying to soldier on.

Can't say I regretted it, especially with the trade in value being so damn high when I brought it back but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

The only fun I regret is constantly going back and replaying old stuff instead of working through my backlog.
