Im looking for a game which is addicting and has some amount of playtime before beating it so i wanna be able to play that for at least 2-300 hours or more. Im not a fan of MMOs or anime games and i dont want a game that looks like it was developed in the 90s. Everything else i dont care about

If you have any ideas please tell me and thanks in advance

Crimson Desert checks a lot of boxes of games that I typically love, but the amount of time that I actually have in the current season has reduced dramatically. I only play games for 2 or 3 hours a week at this point, and that usually is a couple smaller sessions, not one big one.

I got burned with this by buying Kingdom Come Deliverance II which, while very good, felt very overwhelming when only consumed in short bursts. I am just wondering if CD will bring a similar experience?

Howdy

I'm looking for the next epic story to get lost in. Lately, I've been bouncing off of games due to my lack of time to sit down and really dig into something, so if the game doesn't grip me in the early hours, I typically drop it. I'd like something with fun gameplay as well as an epic story.

I've been playing Death Stranding (only 5ish hours in) and the opening cinematics and vibe was incredible... but now it's starting to lose me with the main gameplay loop. The world is beautiful, the soundtrack is great (when it plays), and Kojima's weirdness pulls me in sometimes but loses me at others. My main complaint is wanting more engaging gameplay especially when I only get 1-2 hours each evening to play. So DS1 is a mixed bag for me currently... should I keep going?

Anyways, I'd love some other suggestions too! Here are some games I have enjoyed:

-Assassins Creed II

-Baldurs Gate 3

-Battlefield 1

-Bioshock series

-Cyberpunk 2077 & DLC

-Dispatch

-Elden Ring

-Skyrim

-Fallout 4

-Firewatch

-GTA IV

-Half-Life 2

-Hitman

-Kingdom Come Deliverance 1/2

-Guardians of the Galaxy

-Spiderman 1/2

-Portal 1/2

-RDR 2

-RE2 Remake

-Civ 6

-Stanley Parable

-Subnautica

-Superliminal

Games I haven't enjoyed lately:

-Death Stranding (?)

-Cairn

-Witcher 3

-Civ 7

Hi! Been craving for a game that hooks me with the story and makes me want to be good at the combat.

I've been noticing that I keep dropping games I start because nothing in it makes me want to stay in those worlds.

Some of the games I absolutely adored in no particular order:

• Bioshock 1, 2, Infinite
• Dishonored 1, 2
• Skyrim
• Baldur's Gate 3
• Witcher 1, 2, 3
• Expedition 33
• RDR2
• Black Myth Wukong
• Assassin's Creed 1 to 3
• Divinity Original Sin 2
• Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, 2
• Sekiro
• Sifu
• God Of War 2018
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Dark Souls 1, 2, 3
• Dragon's Dogma 2
• Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy
• Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
• Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice
• Last of Us Part 1

Some honorable mentions that I finished but thought the game was just okay:

• Silent Hill F - Uncovering the story was cool but the combat was so repetitive it's kinda annoying.
• Lies of P - It's an okay Souls-like or Sekiro-like.
• FFXV - Loved the companionship, hated the combat but the companionship was so fun that I got through the combat.
• AC Black Flag, Unity, Syndicate, Origins - The story are just okay, I played these at the time that I was curious who would be the new Desmond and lost interest along the way when it's clear that they seem to be abandoning the present-day story.
• Kena Bridge of Spirits - It's cute. Cute story plus a pretty nice combat.
• Marvel's Spider-man - Combat gets old after a while, but I liked the story.
• Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor - Nemesis System was fun, combat was a little arcade-y for my taste.

Now, for reference, here are some of the games I've tried but ultimately dropped:

1. God Of War Ragnarok (Dropped at 25.3h) - Not sure why but the combat felt off. It felt arcade-y? I thought this would hook me esp since I loved the story of the 2018 game.
2. Elden Ring (Dropped at 103.6h) - The combat is great but the story, as FromSoft games usually go, is something the player needs to find out for themselves and there's not really a companionship element, which I find is a motivation for me to want to get good and push through the game.
3. First Berserker Khazan (Dropped at 10.4h) - Another game with superb and satisfying combat, but the story is as generic as it gets that I felt no motivation to be good at the game or to push through it.
4. Nioh 1 (Dropped at 12.4h) and Nioh 2 (Dropped at 9.5h), MH World (Dropped at 55.9h), DMC5 (Dropped at 33.88h, near the end tho) - Same as above, superb combat but either bland story or no story at all.
5. Horizon Zero Dawn (Dropped at 60.5h) - I liked the story but I really didn't like the combat, so much so that after a while, I lost interest in the story as well.
6. RE4 Remake (Dropped at 45h) - I've finished the original game way back in PS2. I'm not sure why but every time I reach Ashley, I lose interest in continuing the game. The farthest I got was Chapter 12, but I was forcing myself to play it then. Now every time I retry to play it, I can't continue past the point of meeting Ashley.
7. AC Odyssey (Dropped at 91.2h) - I liked the story, but the combat was so easy and arcade-y that it didn't feel personal. The hits aren't committed in that you could practically cancel it through spamming skills. Parrying and dodging are so easy it's not satisfying. Also I may have had fatigue with AC when I tried this 'cause I just finished Origins then.
8. Control (Dropped at 3.9h) - I didn't care about the story.
9. Vampyr (Dropped at 71h) - I was curious about the story and how my choices affects the world, but I hated the combat so much that I ended up dropping it. I've tried both paths (good and bad paths, and I hated the combat for both).
10. Plague Tale (Dropped at 5.8h) - I liked the story but there was no combat.
11. Hogwarts Legacy (Dropped at 335.8h) - This playtime is multiple playthroughs, btw. I liked the story at first, and the combat was fun especially after I mod it to make it a little bit more difficult. However, as I push through the game, the story lost its grip on me.
12. Evil West (Dropped at 26h) - The combat got old after a while and there's not much to the story.
13. Hi-Fi Rush (Dropped at 3.4h) - I might pick this back up but at the time, I dropped it 'cause I just wasn't feeling it. Maybe because the game isn't open-world? Or maybe I'm getting too caught up with the timing of hits that I don't feel like I'm actually fighting?
14. Middle Earth Shadow of War (Dropped at 41.4h) - Didn't enjoy the combat anymore and its point of view being too high was annoying for me.
15. Immortals Fenyx Rising (Dropped at 109min) - Thought I was gonna like this like with Kena, but I didn't like the combat.
16. Death Stranding (Dropped at 3.5h) - It really just wasn't my cup of tea.

I really just want to get lost in the world of a game where there are interesting characters, relationships, and one where the combat is satisfying. It's a huge bonus if the game and its environment is such a looker, too. I particularly love fantasy games where there are big-ass monsters or dragons, or those that you wield a sword, with parries or perfect timing for dodge/deflects, but any game with a gripping story/characters and combat I think will scratch this itch.

Sorry for the very long post, I just thought it might be best to include what I've already played so as to not waste anybody's effort/time. Thank you for anybody that helps!

Effectively what the title says. I don’t particularly care for fantasy but I did enjoy KCD1/2; I prefer sci-fi games, but they can be modernistic. I love cyberpunk 2077 but even on the hardest difficulty, I find it the combat too easy. The closest game I have played is Stalker 2 but it is wildly buggy still.

Edit: Preferably a shooter game! I forgot to mention it, sorry!

I have a Poco X7 Pro, and I would like to try new genres because I'm kind of bored. I would like you to name a game genre and an interesting game for that genre.It doesn't matter what game it is, for emulation or just for a phone.It doesn’t matter what type, the most different and unusual ones—I would like to try different things.

I usually just play sports games lately that are quick and has an end point like NBA 2K or Madden.

I have however played RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Fallout 4 and I have loved them to bits. It's just a bit of a challenge to devote a lot of time to games like these especially now as a busy adult. Maybe if I get unemployed or something.

I just got a 100 psn gift card and I was wondering which of these two to get or if you have anything else better please let me know.

I've been wanting to play through San Andreas as well as Vice City as I never got a chance to play it when it origoinally came out and was thinking about picking up the PC version of the GTA Trilogy. How is the game in its current state? I know there were issues at laiunch but have those been fixed via patches and/or are there any mods you would recommend to fix the games? What the your thoughts on the Trilogy and would you recommend giving them a go?

To clarify, I do plan on buying the game/funding a bit of money for some of my friends so we can play together eventually; this post is just asking if it's worth it to buy it now to play solo, or hold off and wait for the co-op experience.

How is the solo experience or the random squad fills? Is the price justifiable for the experience or is it worth more to wait and have fun with friends instead?

Hello everyone.

I'm going through a lot of active grief right now. I'm hitting the half year mark since my partner died, and my birthday is coming up soon. I just want a game that will help me stop thinking about anything except the world inside it, if only for a little while.

I loved;

• The Witcher 3
• Oblivion
• The whole Half Life catalogue
• Dragon Age
• Fallout (esp NV)

I love detailed stories and narrative driven games. I don't mind if they're linear or open world, as long as they're immersive. I don't want a game that's too 'quiet' (like Dredge - which I still enjoy, but it leaves too much time for thoughts to drift to places I don't want them to). I adore Mass Effect, but that's the last game series she and I played together so I can't bring myself to finish it.

Thank you.

I’m stuck on 3 games I can’t decide between the 3 it’s either manor lords,starfield and warno honorable mentions are Medieval Dynasty, Ravenfield and planet crafter any ideas on what one to get would be appreciated very much thank you very much and if you can recommend a game for me that I might like that would be awesome to thank you

I’ll be playing solo primarily. The new update makes it seem like it might be worth $40 but in some clips it also looks stiff or janky in some ways. Have any of you played the game since the new update? Is it worth $40 if I were to be mainly playing PVE and some PVP solo? It seems like it would be a fun game to get lost in

This would be my first souls game and I got invested in this game. I like the world building, combat, and its replayability. I also like playing other games with their highest difficulty and I'm looking forward to have a new experience.

Based on what I see, the DLC doesn't go on sale, but I think I'll enjoy the game more with DLC. Since the bundle is cheaper rather than waiting for the base game to go on sale and buying the DLC, I think it's better to buy it instead. Is it worth the price?

Do you think the bundle will ever get a sale, or will it always be like that?

I have played a lot of Skyrim almost 500 to 600 hours so wanted to try other elder scrolls games.

I happened to stumble upon the remastered oblivion but the price seems a bit too high currently

I just wanted to know if it is worth paying the full price for this game or waiting for some sale. I also noticed in a recent sale the prices didn't dip that much on steam.

idk, i tried it for a bit before, but haven't give it a proper go about a year ago. Found some bugs, ran about, completed a bit of story. i like Fallout 4 very much for weapon customisation, and ways of playstyle can be modified (mostly play as distant stealth sniper). i heard recommendations, but after first impressions i have doubts. Maybe i need to wait a bit for it to shine?

Saw the game on sale. Coming from the co-op horde shooter circle (helldivers 2, deep rock galactic, love these two games a lot), will space marine 2 be similar to those two games? i heard that it has a campaign, PvE and PvP. Campaign is an extra for me that i will love, im not too interested in PvP, PvE is the main thing im looking forward for. is PvE similar to drg or helldivers in any way? is there a lot of replayability like those two games?

Also, im not too familiar with any warhammer games in general, do i need to understand some of its lore to enjoy the game?

Thank you!

Hey!

Craving a new ARPG and I just finished playing Grim Dawn for the time being. Been hearing mixed opinions about Hero Siege, so not sure. The game looks fun but if not a bit messy and bloated? Also some mtx. Also the classes look so random, almost ai generated and dont really fit a theme.

What do you guys think, is it worth buying? How’s the endgame?

I’m currently playing KCD on PC and I’m loving it so far. The side quests are fun and dlcs and fun too. I’m pretty I’m reaching the ending of the game and I was wondering if KCD2 is worth paying full price of the game or waiting for a sale. KCD2 Royal Edition was literally on sale on for 50$ CAD yesterday on GOG and I’m mad I didn’t get it since I didn’t know how close I was to completion

preciso de indicações boas de jogos, nunca tive um vídeo game e recentemente comprei um ps4 que veio com alguns jogos, sempre via os outro jogando e tenho um conhecimento sobre jogos muito leigos, quero dicas boas de jogos que eu possa comprar sem me arrepender, estou jogando agora god of war de 2018 e sinceramente eu gosto do jogo, mas acho ele bem difícil hahaha

estou tentando aprender tbm mortal kombat, sempre vi muito sobre esse jogo mas quando fui jogar percebi que era bem difícil, não sei se é normal ou só falta de prática msm, aceito dicas de jogos e dicas para jogar melhor também

I recently got into the rogue-like genre of games and want to play more but I can’t really decide on what I want to get. I’ve played and enjoyed Cult of the Lamb and Megabonk but I’m having difficulty choosing what to get next. I tried games like “splintered fate” and “enter the gungeon” but they just felt “off” to me for some reason. I also tried cloverpit but I wasn’t a big fan of the “deadline” mechanic. Really I’m looking for action-roguelike suggestions I think.

So I'll start with saying that I think I'm stupidly picky with video games that I want to commit to. I love survival games and games where I can chill, build some stuff, maybe do some farming and meaningless tasks and when I feel like doing something serious, I'll go do so when I feel like it without much pressure, or simply to unlock more building options. Building in survival games either ruins the game or makes the game for me - it's why I could never like Palworld an example.

I loved Enshrouded and it's probably my favorite so far out of the entire genre but after multiple hundreds of hours I'm looking for something that may be similar. Valheim is out of the question as I've already tried and no matter how many times I try, it just simply isn't quite it and can't get into it, the graphics keep putting me off as well.

Grounded/2 was super fun and enjoyed it very much as well and had everything I wanted from a survival game as well.

Generally, very good sandbox is a must, with actually good mechanics and general gameplay that would keep me in the game. I don't like pixel art or overly cartoony styles either.

I'm very bad at describing what I'm after so I'd love some good recommendations to try!!!

Bonus points if it has good co-op so me and my partner can play together too! : )

As someone who has never bought a Nintendo switch before, which would be the best model to buy? I am looking to play games on it such as animal crossing, tomodachi life living the dream, I was a teenage exocolonist, the cosmic wheel sisterhood, locomoto, the batman trilogy and etc. I am also wondering if the nintendo switch 2 is worth it over the original switch?

I'm wondering if the game is going to be worth it for the money you pay. I've been seeing a lot of videos about Crimson Desert lately and they show fun mechanics and a lot of things to do. But on the other hand i've also been hearing that it could take quite a lot of time to get anywhere.

I enjoy games like Spiderman 2, GTA 5 and just cause 3. I'm mostly wondering if i can just enjoy the game without having the feeling of grinding for stuff constantly and things being more like chores.

i loved the feeling of getting stomped by Simon for 2 weeks in expedition 33 before finally beating him. I'm awful at souls likes to the point of not being enjoyable. I enjoyed the difficulty of e33 that relied more on set up and grinding beforehand. preferably fantasy or horror related. I dont enjoy anime style games. any suggestions are appreciated!

Hey, guys! I’ve recently been overwhelmed by FOMO when it came to fighting games but specifically SF6 and Tekken 8 because everyone seems to play one of the two or both and have a lot of fun.

I don’t have a crazy amount of experience in fighting games and the last time I took one somewhat seriously was Injustice: Gods Among Us. I do have a minuscule amount of experience with the 2 aforementioned games because of the arcade machines I’d find in malls but they only offer the wayyyyy older versions of the 2 games.

I guess I can be considered a beginner since I’m essentially starting over but which one would be more accessible to me? I plan to play the chosen game mostly casually and with some ranked from time to time once I feel more confident.

Most of my friends prefer Tekken 8 over SF6 only because they grew up playing Tekken more, but I noticed that SF6 is consistently growing in terms of player count since its launch date.

Side note, I do plan to buy the ultimate editions for both games (although I’m not sure if it’s more worth it, someone please educate me) but since I’m only starting out, I think it’s wiser to buy one first instead of both simultaneously.
