So I’m not autistic and these aren’t necessarily bad games, but for my partner this is definitely Dragon Age. She has put an insane number of hours into the first 3 games. She knew The Veilguard was going to be bad. She KNEW, she told me multiple times even the second before she told me she bought the game. She got 3/4 of the way through before having a crying, screaming meltdown over how bad it was.
but she was okay with Inquisition? I don’t get that at all. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve beat it several times. Inquisition is straight trash by comparison. I beat it once and was immensely disappointed. Because of that experience, I haven’t even considered trying Veilguard. I just know it can only be worse.
Any game where you fight by picking stuff out of menus
The factory must grow
The factory must expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory…
Good choice !
I am so glad I bought that game before the steam release, which means most of my hours are untracked.
It’s either something dark and gritty like dark souls, or the cutest shit ever like animal crossing or stardew valley. I’m my case it’s both.
The meme says worst games. Dark Souls is one of the absolute best games.
My tism sometimes has me skip words when reading something with pixels in the double digits.
All I see are awesome game recommendations, thanks everyone! Except for Stardew Valley… that’s my game. I love it but I hate it for reasons mentioned already.
I have the most hours in Warframe, but Factorio is on a different level. If you’re anywhere on the spectrum, it is pure crack cocaine. The only reason I haven’t bought the DLC is because I know it’ll consume a month of my free time.
By the way, Warframe 1999’s soundtrack fucking slaps.
Space Age is totally worth it though
After playing with trains in factorio, then just staring at them go in pure ecstasy for 10s of minutes. I am now convinced I’m much further on the spectrum than I thought.
How are the micro transactions on warframe? Do they shove them down your throat or do you need to pay them to play? Was considered trying it out but free to play games tend to be shitty.
Pretty good, and somehow getting better with time; especially considering how much you can get out of the game for completely free.
The game’s main premium currency is platinum. There’s no way to get it through in-game activities. You can buy it directly, it is included in most cash-only purchases, or you can trade it freely with other players. Most of the trading is organized on the third-party market board warframe.market, and the in-game trading chat… exists, I guess.
Most of the game’s items (weapons, warframes, companions, upgrades) can be farmed through regular gameplay from random drops, from specific missions or boss fights, crafted from gathered resources, or bought using in-game currencies. You can buy most of them for platinum, but don’t have to. The only payment-exclusive items are cosmetics (skins, helmets, color palettes), but not all of them, and inventory slots. There are also many late-game items that are impossible to buy and have to be earned. Some items are also sold in discounted packs. As of the latest major update (released literally a few hours ago), you get an additional discount for items of a pack that you already own.
The worst limiting factor for a new player is warframe and weapon slots. Your account can only hold a limited number of certain items, and slots are almost exclusively purchased with platinum (a small number can be earned through Nightwave, a free battle pass-like system). A new account starts with 50 non-tradable platinum – my recommendation is to buy 2 weapon slot packs (12p for two slots, 24p total) and a warframe slot (20p for one).
Can confirm. It’s the only game I play at this point.
Finally got to Fulgora. I want that mech suit.
I’m currently avoiding fixing Gleba, so I’m making an Epic Mech Suit.
A month? That is not enough :(
When they say a month of free time, the really mean a month of neglecting the laundry, dishes, vacuuming, showering, and cooking at home. And probably also a month of being late to work too.
I’ve had Friday evening sessions that were ended by the morning sun. I wasn’t kidding about the crack simile. Time is just a suggestion when you have an assembly line to complete.
Ignore the expansion and just free base Space Exploration
For me, HC WoW
I know right like regular WoW wasn’t already enough of a timesuck
Tarkov. 16k hours. More time than most streamers.
Wow. And I thought I was bad with my 5k in cs…
It’s not a bad game but Rimworld is destroying my life right now.
Is it about rimming?
I had to ban myself from that game as I’d fall off the face of the earth for weeks at a time
Definitely mine too. It doesn’t even run faster than 1x… which is sucky slow but my own fault for having too many livestock animals to support my ~60 pawns… (peaceful gets very out of control if you let it) but now I have an outpost mod and as soon as all my kids are adults, most of them are gone.
Modded minecraft isnt the worst ever
I started making games to make sure its not
This is unironically one of my favorite memes because it fits me SO WELL:
On Minecraft I have ~150 days playtime on PC, after switching to Prismlauncher (after some development drama) I have another ~22 days playtime. Along with my 1300 hours on switch it’s a total of 234.5 DAYS looking at pixelated blocks in a children’s game.that’s not even including my time in PE edition from when I was little or the multiple years I spent in Lunar client which doesn’t track playtime. In total it’s probably WELL over a whole year of JUST Minecraft.
I ALSO have 9154 hours in other steam games and 1500 MORE in animal crossing. In total this is 16,000 hours, 670 days or
1.8 YEARS
I do also have minor autism.
edit: also 2-300 hours in oldschool RuneScape lol
Terraria
ITT: people listing good games they played a bunch.
The answer is clearly world of warcraft.
Having grown up on the MUDs and MMOs that release before WoW I think I was thankfully inoculated against its more gamified, addictive formula.
Factorio. Do i need to say more?
Why aren’t you tending to your factory?
My factory is paused. I found Derail Valley Simulator, and have been absolutely loving driving trains
I’m split between Factorio and Dwarf Fortress.
Give Songs of Syx a try. One guy, who developed the game in a shed in Poland so he could get away from his family. You can try the “demo” which is the full game just one version behind. Once he gets tired of developing it he said he’ll make it open source. Think dwarf fortress but you’re capable of having a population of thousands. Oh, and nevermind the race riots or cannibalism.
I went ahead and grabbed the demo and I will give a try, thanks for the info!
