What game makes you happy?

[Halfling Rodeo]

We all have those special games we can play and they always cheer us up. Your wife ran off with your brother, your dog ate the cat and your dog and cat got run over by a bus. Doesn't matter, you can always boot up this game and feel like life is going to be okay.

What is your happy place game?

Nevermind guys! it was a misunderstanding, don't burn.

Woah I replied to this orignally but what the fuck, farming post in the most prestigious codex!!! Burn this bastard!

My go to games are the Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy. The first set of games I played after playing only NES games till then. Though I think og Tomb Raider games are better, PoP SOTT holds a special place for me, completing them as a set gives me immense satisfaction, so whenever I feel gaming getting dull or becoming a chore, I play this to remind myself of what I loved about gaming.

Alternatively Gothic, what a fucking immersive world. Uncompromising design, modern devs can only dream of having the balls to make something like this.

Postscript

Nowadays, going to steam to see DMC5 be in overwhelmingly positive rating re-invigorates my hope in gaming and then seeing the new God of War Reboot have the same overwhelmingly positive rating brings me back to the real world.

Oh I don't pay attention to what you post. It's all a load of bullshit and I thought this thread would be fun for the new year blues some people get.

Steam reviews aren't very useful so I wouldn't worry about it. DMC5 is a really fun game and you will have a blast with it if you haven't played it yet. My only complaint was it did too much nostalgia but that's a small issue compared to most modern games.

For a long time, for me, it was Descent, then the original System Shock, and then Terra Nova. Then it was City of Heroes. Then LOTRO. Then more recently Warframe. But those were only in 2 or 3 year chunks, and I think for me, personally, all games "wear out" after a sufficient period of time and there's nothing that I've really carried all the way through my gaming life.

I think it's more an attempt to imitate me, or get my attention

are you sure you're not a woman?

Not even games like Doom or Mario? Something simple but eternally fun?

Shut up Vic. You're being a bigger drama queen than the shoutbox trannies.

Nope. Once a game is done for me it's done, it's like all the "channels" for it in my brain are worn out. I might revisit it years later for a nostalgia jag, but that's about it.

But with some games it does take a few years to get to that point, and during those few years they're a happy place. (Forgot to mention - after Warframe, it was Troubleshooter for a few years, but that's pretty much worn out now.)
