Where are my gamers?

Question

I haven't really played video games like I used to as a kid...

But recently I bought a new game system and I've played some fighting games.

If you used to play... or you still play... comment. I'm curious...

what games do you play?

Yeah, I’m in the same spot. I don’t play them too tough anymore, but I finally bit the bullet and got a PS5. And they had crazy sales on games on Black Friday weekend, so I bought a bunch, and requested a bunch as gifts, since they were only like $20 and I didn’t feel so bad spending/asking.

I’m mostly into sports simulators, so I bought/requested them for hockey, baseball, pro football, college football (I can create myself and play in college, then import the character into the pro game to be drafted, and live out my unfulfilled dreams of playing D1 NCAA/NFL😝), golf, soccer, and bass fishing.

My big non-sports game is Grand Theft Auto. I got GTA V, and also the “GTA Trilogy” (GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas) which are old 00s games re-whatever’d to look tight on modern consoles/TVs.

When I WOULD play games these last ten years or so, it would usually be re-playing San Andreas. That’s the GOAT game for me. I probably watched Menace II Society and Boyz N The Hood a hundred times each between ages 13-18, and I just wanted to be an LA gangster SO badly, lmfao. So San Andreas was my big chance to safely simulate that life, which is decidedly NOT gangsta AT ALL😅😂

I also bought Red Dead Redemption 2, which doesn’t seem up my alley off the rip, the old Wild West thing, but a buddy highly recommended it. Still have yet to open it, but I’ll get to it. Most of these games are still in the plastic wrap, or I loaded them onto the console, but haven’t played.

So far, I got into the old GTA Trilogy first (still stuck in the 00s🤣), and then the last few days I’ve been playing the hockey game and starting my “Be A Pro” career, or I should say “careers”…. I let myself get drafted #1 overall by the San Jose Sharks in the first iteration, and then made a second profile where I tanked the interview with the Sharks on purpose to go #2 to the Chicago Blackhawks. They both had the best uniforms out of the draft lottery teams, I gotta look clean out there😝 I was even able to recreate my hair, so the guy looks a lot like me. More vicarious dream fulfillment😂

So…I have my work cut out for me. I’ve been forcing myself to play so it’s not a waste of money, lmao. Starting up is hard, but turning it off once I start is even harder, so I have to be careful not to stay up all night losing track of time.

No regrets on the purchase though. I haven’t bought a console in like two generations, I’m lucky I’m not having an insta-seizure upon seeing modern graphics, lmao

I've started with a few games on a  Commodore 64 , using a joystick, well it was more a stick than a joy, considering the atrocious manoeuvrability back then. Plus, every game being more cruel than the previous one: Diamonds, diamonds, diaaaaamonds. Boulder Dash (1984) Then came the Nintendo Entertainment System, I have been entertained a lot by this system indeed, rescued many princesses in too many castles, The difficulty level with the  Nes  was still insane. But gameplay and controls were feeling right this time, Nintendo seal of quality was very welcome back then. A real Hyrule hero. Zelda II - The Adventure of Link (1987) After that, was the SUPER NINTEN...  Super Nes . Still a system, still very entertaining, too many games played, in Japanese, English, French whatever. Good memories come from too many sources. Ofc I kept saving princesses, again, dying and retrying in the process 🙄  Stand proud, no matter Tsunamis. Super Ghouls and Ghosts (1991) Back to computers, with a  Commodore Amiga , games were getting more tailored to appeal to adult audiences, more violence, more adult humor, sometimes getting philosophical too ! More complex controls, 80 pages manuals to read, in the worst cases. I didn't care, I had only cracked games, no manuals. Irish dead pirates concert. Secret of Monkey Island (1991) And then  Playstation 1 ,  Playstation 2, Dreamcast , all the way up to  PC  games. These days, even if I can still fire up some AAA game, such as Civilization franchise, I'm mostly interested in indies. Because indies are the ones spawning some original concepts, I've turned picky over the years, either from a gameplay perspective or an ambiance or stuff, I need something fresh. Lately, I had fun with Terra Nil, the idea is to turn a post-apocalyptic world into a thriving ecosystem, restoring fauna and flora to all its glory. Finally, tech used for virtuous reasons. Terra Nil (2023) The End (for now).  Thank you for playing.

That's awesome that you've rekindled your love for gaming! 🎮 Even though I'm more into movies and art, I can appreciate the excitement of diving back into video games. Fighting games can be super engaging and challenging. Mortal Kombat and Tekken are classics that many enjoy. If you're exploring new genres, you might find games like The Last of Us or Ghost of Tsushima interesting for their cinematic storytelling and visuals. Happy gaming! 🕹️✨

CrimsonAngel09 · Answer

I definitely do.

Despite some criticisms I have, and it being most hated, I enjoy Dragon Age Veilguard. I'm also currently playing Rise of the Ronin.

I only stuck with Playstation, and still play with the PS3 and PS4 despite owning a PS5.

I wouldn't call myself a gamer, but I do play a decent amount.. Mostly single player story driven games.. Every now and again maybe some Multi-player online.. If I wanna get destroyed..

DaBiggestBird · Answer

It’s been a while since I’ve played something new but I am a regular gamer. Been grinding ranked in Apex Legends, just hit Platinum. My best friend thinks we can hit Masters, and due to certain things that have going on in my personal life which I will not elucidate on, that actually may be possible. I’ve only hit Diamond IV before. There are two other main games I play which are Rocket League and the most dysfunctional, low effort piece of dogshit in existence, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
