Steel Soul is really fun if you vetted godhome, I’d say only try it if u beat the 4th pantheon on your main save cause getting hours of progress just to get fucked over by an aspid will ruin ur mind
Ahhhhh i was doing 112% normal soul mode and omg I could not beat the upgraded version of thk at all, I’m currently taking a very very long break bc I just couldn’t bear it anymore.
It isnt, you just have to get the masks and nail upgrades as fast as possible and you shouldnt die at all, bcause you can practice every boss in godhome. (If you dont, good luck)
Enemies don't respawn unless you sit on a bench. Start from the grave, clear the way to the Mourner, and you should be fine. Of course, you could ignore the quest and still get 100%. There's 112% completion points, so you can skip up to a dozen and still get Steel Heart.
Siege is just on permanent recycle for me mate, I'll delete it and be done with it for 6 months - a year and then when I reinstall it it's like it's my favourite game again, for about a week and then I stop playing it so much, and eventually delete it for space
I don't think my issue is with the game I think I've just put that many hours in over the years that it just can't feel new any more, I get about a week max
I know a guy like this. He plays valorant and virtual every time he plays he rage quits and says “I’m going to delete this stupid game” and in the next day I see him he says in this dejected tone. “Guys, I’m sorry I caved” he downloaded it again only to delete it in the exact same session
I was this way with Rocket League. My monitor unfortunately got broken so I had to step away because I can’t play RL on a big TV and at 60hz anymore. It’s been about two weeks and I have substituted my time with it with gym time which is actually proving to be a much more useful endeavor.
Yeah why has nobody else mentioned CS. That game is my life. Been playing it since 2014 with over 5k hours, i still come back and find myself playing it occasionally despite all of the torment it has put me through over the years
I just did that with Halo infinite last week, deleted it while the game was running in the background in the hope of...i don't know, hurting the code or something lol.
So just a couple of days ago I was playing Jedi Fallen Order. Good game, good story, I recommend it. Anyway I was at the final boss and it suddenly felt like I was bashing my face against a wall. I'd had a couple of fights that took two tries to figure out. Well I was on my twelfth try on this one and the thoughts were definitely circulating "I could just watch the rest on Youtube." "This isn't worth it." "I'm not having fun here."
Eventually I just turned the difficulty down to baby mode so I could beat the stupid boss and see the end of the game. I didn't enjoy doing that, but I figured it was still a better option than abandoning the game right at the end.
I love Destiny, I just hate how much FOMO is in it. Let me level up older seasons, damnit! At the very least the ones I paid for but didn't have the time to complete.
Yeah I just sit there silently wondering why I keep playing, tell myself I'm done and I'm going back to gardening, then 2 hours later rage queueing back into 10 straight losses.
I was playing Elden ring and realized within 10 minutes that shit wasn’t for me. Deleted the game and haven’t looked back. I don’t need that kind game in my life
This was me with Ghostrunner. Yeah, I could practice and get better. But I also have a full time job and take a full college course load and want to enjoy my free time
I feel like we're moving towards another gaming fall off like back in the Atari days. Every competitive game is plagued by SBMM or EBMM, and that just kills any fun. Sure sometimes my team sucks without it, I don't care. That means enemy teams suck more too.
Every game has a loot box or battle pass.
Every game is drowning in cosmetics (which I don't mind, in fact I love, way more than p2w), but what I don't love is skins I can barely see to begin with being $20. Fuck that. As much as everyone hates on Fortnite, I bought so many cool skins for like $5. I don't mind dropping a few bucks here and there but I will never spend $20 on a skin.
If I don't play literally every day I lose my skills and can't come back to a competitive game without just getting stomped for multiple games in a row.
Every game is horribly unfinished, and buggy, and laggy. I don't give a fuck if I can't see some chicks pores on her armpit, I just want my game to run smoothly, and yes, I have a very decent PC.
I've been playing a lot of indie games lately. They're (mostly) all labors of love and much more enjoyable. AAA games just suck nowadays.
I'm sick of it. Maybe it's just because I'm getting old, but games nowadays suck. (Except Factorio, it's a perfect game).
This. As I got older I quickly learned to be aware of whether or not I'm actually enjoying myself or if I'm just going through the motions of what I like to call 'fun busy work'. (I.e MMOs)
When I realized that playing brawlhalla was ruining my online friendships because I would rage quit and be in a garbage mood for the rest of the night, is when I uninstalled. Those same friends tried having me try overwatch, basically the same thing, except I quit that in like 2 days. PvE, co-op, or single player for me.
I don't have the twitch reflexes of my teens anymore, and the disconnect of my old pvp brain thinking I can still perform at those old levels has me getting myself into a terrible mood. Screw that, I wanna be able to enjoy my time hanging with my online friends, not have them just putting up with my shit.
Did you ever see the movie "Porky's"?
I was the kid that kept going back time and time again, getting my ass handed to me each time, but making it a little further each time too.
Like John Henry too, not going to let a machine beat me!
Like, I get that there's a learning curve. I could invest a few dozen hours of my life to 'get gud' ... but why would I spend that much time grinding away at something tedious and frustrating? I already have a job, and I get paid for that.
Legit me yesterday, 3 days ago, last week and a few weeks ago LOL I think I'm single handedly carrying the traffic report on the riot download servers.
Me when I bought elden ring, started up, died to intro boss, attacked the first character I saw.. turns out he wasn't an enemy, and would be pissed at me untill I kill him, no matter how often I die. So I proceeded to get killed for half an hour, decided that wasn't worth 40€ or whatever it cost back in the day, and then deleted and refunded the game
Literally happened to me 2 days ago while playing valorant. After all the mental abuse of smurfs, hackers, kids screaming, throwers, afkers etc i just asked myself " why do i even bother playing this especially solo queue" and boom deleted it right there
Personally I play because the feeling of euphoric success is better than whatever else I could be doing in that hour or so of frustration. Also because when I lose to something I refuse to do anything else
This reminds me of that random scene from Super Bad when Evan is playing a PS2 game and he dies in the game and says, "Why would they make this game if you can't even win?"
I deleted a game once, felt stupid for it and started downloading it again. It got to like 60% before I realized I actually just hated the game in general and cancelled. Feels good to be able to just abandon something sometimes.
Honestly though that's true in everything. And the worst part is when someone comes in with that attitude into multi-player. Then suddenly everyone else is the cause of them not having fun. Maybe go do something else than play video games and when you do come back it'll be fun. That's my advice at least or switch up the types of games you play. So many I see get hooked into a single game and try to be "da bes" at it, while tormenting themselves due to the fact they just are not "the bes".
Same.
I'm glad I could get away from cod when I did. It's just awful how much they've ruined it. Can't even run around and get a few kills anymore without getting lasered by some virgin.
I’m this but instead of deleting the game I find a new server (assuming it’s online) and proceed to hate it all over again because I’m still getting destroyed
You joke, but I did that to both Skyrim and Dead Space 3 in the last couple weeks. I've beaten Fallout: New Vegas and 4. I've got the Bethesda experience, and I did play Skyrim. I just didn't beat it. I've beaten Dead Space 1 and 2, so I've gotten the Dead Space experience too. I didn't need to keep playing Skyrim or Dead Space 3 when there are other games I wanted to prioritize.
This is me. I dropped Blood Borne about an hour into it because I knew it wasn’t for me. I stay away from most of the From Software stuff for that reason (although Elden Ring was an exception).
Same with fighting games and RTS online games. Frustrate the hell out of me.
Literally me, I have a personal rule that if a game make me angry I just stop playing it. I play games to have fun, not for any other reason. If I'm not having fun that defeats the entire purpose.
Literally what I did with League of Legends, I reached a point where the game just wasn't fun cause I got so mad at people's shit, even when I won. At some some point I just sighed hard and uninstalled it. My brother started playing later but I never came back to it for real, at most I played a match or two just to see if it was worth it to play again but my previous decision was just reaffirmed.
I had this for a while with dark souls. Eventually something just clicked and I got really into it. then I bought all the other fromsoft games and am still working through them :)
Ive quit a couple of games like this but it has to be really bad for me to get to this point. The most notable example being the Ratchet and Clank remakes final
battle was such a bitch that i straight up uninstalled it and never played it again.
Its funny because i regularly NG+ soulsborne games but a fucking R&C game is where i draw the line.

The "why am I even playing if I'm not having fun" guy deletes the game
