Retardo? Do you still play video games with a vested interest?

[smaug]

Many of us are like that, but I'm talking about people whose post history is 80-90% in Politics. Probably half of Codexers dont even play games

Let’s find out. All game genres apply.

Poll inspired by the closing down of RPGWatch

I play them and I’m willing to autistically discuss them in threads. The problem is I don't play that many games, maybe 3-4 games a year, if we're counting RPGs and autistic genres like strategy, the stuff people like to discuss here. I often indulge in stuff like console racers, for which there is little interest and it's not like I'd have a lot to say about those, either. On the other hand, Politics is 24/7, so there's always a lot to talk about. I try to limit my interaction with those threads, but they're low hanging fruit and I'm a troll by nature, so...

Truth be told, when I started posting I put the Politics and General discussion forums on ignore, but I kept getting those threads on New Posts. This forum is like Facebook and tries to infect your brain on purpose to maximize clicks and feed the algorithm. I'll also point out the fact that it records everything you say on the Shitbox. So yeah, don't be shy, tell us all your opinions goy, free speech wow everything is political!

You're missing the "I don't play them, but I’m willing to aggressively discuss them to the death" option

 

[Humbaba]

I play and discuss them but hope that one day I stop doing either.

 

[fork]

I would if there were any good ones coming out still.

Elden Ring has been my biggest disappointment in a while; if even From Software are releasing such crap nowadays, there really might be almost nothing left for me to play. And since I'm also getting sick of replaying old favourites more and more, my discussing games is getting less and less.
I wish Team Cherry would finally release Silksong. But then again, they're also unlikely to reach Hollow Knight quality again...

Personally when Oblivion came out in 2006 I stopped playing new games

I played only classics and modded them

Since Kickstarter era very few games enthralled me (Grimoire, Underrail, Kenshi, Neo Scavenger, Escape from the Pit, etc.)

 

[luj1]

Nowadays we are getting 1 RPG neo classic per year, if we're lucky

before 2004 we were getting several classics per year

 

[Gandalf]

I've chosen "I play them, but don’t care enough to post/discuss them" option, because I'm not really discussing them games that much. I do ocassionally post in game threads, but only when I'm not playing them at the moment, because that would be quite difficult to play them and post about them at the same time.

 

[dacencora]

Man you guys are boring as fuck.

“Oh boo hoo video games suck now!”

So whiny. There are so many fun video games to play, but instead you’d rather bitch and moan about how awful everything is lol.

Can't stand that either, but what really annoys me are people who complain about people complaining about new games. If the new games are so good you'd post about them instead of whining like a bitch. At least the nostalgiafags have an excuse.

Brah check my post history. I post all the time about new games. Shut the fuck up.

 

[Ed123]

I don't own a vest.

 

[Viata]

I still play games. I hardly play modern games, though. I have played a lot of games this year and the only game released post-2000 that I have played is Factorio.

 

[Whisper]

So true.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

can these people get some kind of tag pls Infinitron

 

[fork]

Yeah, prestigious tags.
You could also give all those retards willing to play and discuss all these post-modern rapes of classics tags.

 

[Viata]

Yes, those who don't play games or are playing those modern games should receive a tag. There is nothing prestigious about not playing games in a gaming forum.

 

[fork]

Tags for everyone!

[KörangarTheMighty]

You should add an option called: "I don't play videogames much anymore, but I'm still willing to autistically discuss the ones I enjoyed."

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

i am ashamed of my games playlist so i just shit post about poo most of the time

 

[Ismaul]

Usually when I get around to play the new shit everyone has already dicksuckssed it to death.

But that way I avoid shit games and beta testing.

 

[Kruno]

I love games. I sometimes pretend to be Amber Heard, shit the bed and then eat it!
