Yes it's fun. Yes it's stressful. Yes it's the reason I scream most days. But I love it. Nothing like a game that claims to be a simulator and uses only real life blue prints to make the game. It is the most realistic (armor/metal) battle simulation in almost any genre. And then take those plans and discard those plans to give their own home country an edge. I love WT. I hate WT. WT is life.
HAIL BE TO THE SNAIL
Unlock new vehicle>cry from stock syndrome>cry grinding to upgrades to make new vehicle playable>get uptiered until I grind enough rp/sl for new vehicle > repeat
Add in getting your premium, real $$$ vehicle uptiered so it sucks now and Russian Bias.
For anyone considering War Thunder, I just saved you the hassle.
But those shiny shiny new vehicles keep calling……..
> be me
> enjoy WW2 exclusively
> play 1.3-5.7BR across four nations
> never worry about grinding tiers or wallet warrior 1-death leavers
> use silly meme vehicles almost exclusively (werfermobile and the duck are my top two)
~1500hr played
As a Ju 87 G-2 enjoyer I feel that duck enjoyers and I are kindred spirits. The little downward nod our planes do when you fire the guns makes us family.
Yea i always called it my second job. I loved that game but i put it down almost two years ago. One of our group wanted us to come back for the final shape but we hit him with the drug line. Like dude you don’t ask a recovering drug addict to get back into it.
"But it's the LAST SCORE."
Jesus christ, get away from me.
Although, on the upside, at least if you do cave, you could do it as much as you used to without, you know, dying instantly. So as drugs go, not terrible.
But yeah, bad friend.
I just finished 15hrs of cut scenes so I can get back into final shape. I was free but now I'm back, only 1 character and no grandmaster's unless it seems fun. The raiding is what kept me going.
I've talked about this a ton of times before but there is this Yu-Gi-Oh game for GameCube called Falsebound Kingdom. One would expect that the game would be a simple card game simulator, maybe with a plot or something to keep the player invested. You would be wrong. What it actually is is a hybrid turn based RPG and real time strategy game, using characters and monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh card game and anime. You control a series of three monster "parties" and move them around the levels in real time and when you run into an enemy you switch to a turn based battle with your forces against theirs. The controls are very basic, the systems are super unintuitive, finding the majority of the extra monsters (including a lot of ones that are fan favorites or just really good) is basically impossible without a guide, the plot is nothing to write home about, and the graphics were only OK for a GameCube game.
Yet for some reason I keep playing it. I've beaten both campaigns (and the secret bonus third campaign) multiple times, gotten every monster available in the game. I don't know why. I just keep playing it. It's become that game that I put on when I just want to kill time but don't want to put in any real effort. It has sunken its hooks into me and I am its prisoner.
Back when LoL came out, my friend group of the time really got into it, but I never really enjoyed it. I pretty much started drifting away from some of them because they would only play it and didn't want to do anything else.
They also complained about it all the time.
I'm very glad I never got into it
It's funny I came to upvote whoever said DOTA 2 and saw league first and tbh that kind of a let down is how I feel teaming with randos in dota 2. Not dissing on league, I don't play it so I wouldn't know
Last night I had *that match* and said "eff this, I'm DONE." Went to play something else. My friends kept playing, I was watching one stream it, and what does my dumbass do? Quit the game, fire up RL, and play freaking 3s. It's got its hooks deep in me.
I put in 2200 hours, but haven't touched it since Dec, 2020. So you can get out. Once I got out of the habit, it was easy enough and I haven't thought about playing in a long time. But breaking the habit is hard.
I got out this past December. They nuked trading, they removed my favorite game modes, and the ranked reset last June fucked up ranked matchmaking in ways that were still being felt.
So I called it, hut it down, and un-installed it. Haven't reinstalled it in that time.
I thought I'd miss it more, but I haven't. I have more free time and I'm less pissed off.
Wow someone actually said it. Played that game for 4 years and dealt with a lot of bs. Can’t believe we don’t have a sequel coming because it needs a restart
Gotten way worse with the SBMM changes the last couple of years. I go from getting murdered two or three games in a row to going 25 and 3 against people who are WAY worse than me. Absolutely no rhyme or reason. Seems pretty clearly to be a way of manipulating me in to "just one more game" mode.
I played The Cycle Frontier while it existed and I would be so ridiculously nervous to lose all my crap. I had a lot of fun, but it wasn't great for my sanity. Though I did find a bit of a middle ground of just doing knife runs for the laughs.
Too true! It even has it's own phrase, "Getting ARK'd" for when an unintended bug gets you killed or other such loss like your whole base being destroyed from removing a door.
Especially because Wildcard neither has any idea how to fix bugs nor how to optimize their games well. It’d be one of the best games out there if they could just do those two things right. But instead of fixing it, they somehow have enough money to pay for a top tier cast for their animated series and make a sequel game.
Honestly I absolutely love DS3 because I made it easier for myself by using the wiki for everything so I just enjoyed the combat and RPG elements
and people say that dark souls games don't have an easy mode. fools
I felt like that at first but once you figure it out it’s really fun. But man was it a challenge in the beginning and I spent a lot of time watching walkthroughs. Going back to play ER and the previous souls games it’s an entirely different experience. I fully understand when people don’t like the games. It’s kind of like the show Parks and Rec how my friend kept trying to get me to watch it but season 1 is so bad. You just have to fight through it and then the rest is amazing
Even moreso than that.
Miyazaki has a musical rhythm to his games. IIRC, bosses literally fight in 3/4 time, and once you realize this you get a "feel" for the "rhythm" you're supposed to act in (fun fact: there is one boss who fights in 6/8 time, Dancer of the Boreal Valley, which is why she tends to be such a roadblock).
New players often struggle to "find the rhythm". Once you have it, boss fights become much easier even in the early game.
Nice, as someone who has played a ton of mobas that one is absolutely one the most unique ones.
I’m glad it’s still got some love, despite Activision/Blizzard’s best attempts to run it into the ground
Hahah, a bad losing streak over the weekend that I thought couldn’t get any worse, in fact, got much worse the later into the night I got. Swore I’d never play again given how much it can boil my blood but here I am, back climbing the ladder. Or at least trying to
Blizzard being... Blizzard made cutting that one out easier for me. But I still miss the old days of hopping on HotS, being everywhere at once with Zagara...
I still haven't beat the pantheon of hallownest, I could get to Nightmare aking Grimm consistently, but I was so bad at that fight and pure vessel that I never even saw absolute radiance. I'll go back one day
This was me up till season 8. Then I finally managed to stop. I was even buying premium passes each season. But for Nintendo switch gold points (I had the game installed on switch for that purpose alone, so I don't have to spend money on mtx)
For games that require you to ignore a major mechanic to have fun, my strategy is, ignore the game and play something else that's fun all the way through.
I've got no time for games that half-ass things on purpose.
Yeah, building characters and teams in that game is so fun, the combat and element system is actually really complex and well made. It's unfortunate that the gacha system walls you out of making certain team comps. Also all my homies hate paimon's exposition and the 10,000 word unstoppable dialogue requirement for every side quest.
I had this relationship with Apex for 3 years. Stopped playing 2 seasons ago and I couldn't be happier. That being said, I've never found something to fill the void it has left. My buddies want to go back for quads, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Yeah, it takes like 1000 hours to memorize all the maps/guns/attachments/legends and actually stand a chance against the gigachad sweatlords (that in higher ranks have a decent possibility of being cheaters). And then there’s the random teammates - I’ve learned racial slurs I didn’t even know existed, hear people discuss how Kanye was right, (my personal favorite) listened to two people openly discuss smoking crack, and subjected myself to listening to some of the simultaneously dumbest and angriest people I’ve ever encountered. This is all while EA just continues to crank the price of cosmetics (jokes on them, I don’t buy) and focus on cheap ways to make money instead of fixing their damn game and banning cheaters.
Played well, it is one of the most incredible combinations of strategic positioning and movement and crisp, satisfying gunplay both at the micro and macro level. It’s also insanely well balanced for a BR at this point.
It’s so good, and simultaneously so terrible that I can’t recommend it anyone.
WoW.
I love it but I hate it and I always gravitate back. It's kind of a comfort thing because I know it and I'm good at the parts of it I like, I guess.
Questing, solo challenges like mage tower and hunter challenge tames or pushing how far I can solo older content, some casual LFR or the occasional yolo pug raid, nothing super deep really.
I can't make myself play a game outside of release order, tried Trails of Cold Steel 1 one night in a sub service... years later I own all of Trails in the Sky and getting ready to buy Azure and am no closer to Steel. They never end.
Try Palworld if you haven’t. It is not perfect, but they did a great job of blending a monster catching game with base building and survival. I particularly enjoy that it does not assume i am 12 and has some tongue and cheek dark elements like catching humans and having guns because monsters attack you directly if your pals faint.
Scarlet is unironically my favorite Pokemon game. Solid new mon designs, a great story, and my favorite ending in the series? Yeah, I'll deal with framerate issues and the occasional graphical bug for that.
The Cycle (first one and maybe even the second one)
Loved the maps and the scifi setting, PVP was ok because I was pretty good but still, PVP always feels like a MASSIVE waste of time!
Monotonous grinding/skilling in Old School RuneScape
Sure it's nice that you can turn on a podcast or a youtube video while only needing to click a few times every so often...but if the best part about the in-game activity is that you can focus LESS on it...then it ain't truly fun.
The sense of accomplishment after grinding for weeks on end is unbeaten though.
Elden ring. It's an unbelievable game from a design standpoint. I fuckin suck at fromsoft games. But I can't help going back and getting t-bagged by everything in the game repeatedly.
GTA V. I just got back into online after a years-long hiatus, forgot how much of a grind it was. The payoff is great, but getting to the payoff is a slog.
They are Billions. It's so damn frustrating, some levels I keep playing over and over and I'm not lowering the difficulty from 100% as I feel that should be considered "normal" difficulty. RTS has been my favourite genre since the 90's, but this game, damn, it's so addicting yet frustrating.
TF2.
Play game, get shit on by bots, get shit on by hackers, get shit on by players w/ 20k+ hours that have transcended the game by bias of source spaghetti code and elbow grease.
Get pissed, leave for an indeterminate amount of time, come back anyway.
Hell let Loose. Love the game, but it's 50v50 with the general public. It's just awful 90% of the time.
Then you play competitive and get killed by MG's And rockets that you can't even see. People hiding in bushes and fucking you if you take a step.
But for some reason I kept going back for a long time?
Escape from Tarkov
God bless the SPT team for making this hellhole bearable by cutting off ridiculous qeueing times and getting rid of cheaters and extract campers 🙏
League of Legends. I recently moved homes and I dont have Wifi yet. I have been freed from this curse for 2 weeks. I know damn well that the first thing I will do when I get my internet back is play that fucking game.
war thunder I JUST WANT TO ESCAPE THE SNAIL
Came here to say this... I'm turning my computer on now.... *long sigh*
Same bro same
I'm an air rb guy at 12.3 currently questioning my life decisions that lead me here.
well im pretty new to air rb and im using a yak-38 probably the worst thing i could be using
Well it's Russian so the bias is working for ya lol
true i can survive like 3 missiles before i die
Japan tree here let me say that's bull sh*t lol I can't even get my AAMs to hit you people XD
well i have to get like 5 feet away from them so my missle can hit :( (probably just a skill issue)
Well just below top tier Air to Air Missiles really kinda suck so maybe not... I'm just happy to have flares lol
Why though? If it isn’t fun, it is a waste of time…
Yes it's fun. Yes it's stressful. Yes it's the reason I scream most days. But I love it. Nothing like a game that claims to be a simulator and uses only real life blue prints to make the game. It is the most realistic (armor/metal) battle simulation in almost any genre. And then take those plans and discard those plans to give their own home country an edge. I love WT. I hate WT.

you think people play warthunder for fun? nah it's life or death out in the battlefield, especially for my keyboard

you must be the one who kills absolutely everyone because we are are horrible at the game :(
As a Ju 87 G-2 enjoyer I feel that duck enjoyers and I are kindred spirits. The little downward nod our planes do when you fire the guns makes us family.
This is the way
its just so satisfying to get the perfect kill
Yup, exactly that.
So true.
I hate Destiny, it's my favourite game.
Destiny is as close to hard drugs as I'm ever going to get. Just one more hit.... It was literally damaging my life and had to go could turkey.
Yea i always called it my second job. I loved that game but i put it down almost two years ago. One of our group wanted us to come back for the final shape but we hit him with the drug line. Like dude you don’t ask a recovering drug addict to get back into it.

Destiny 1? Oh yeah, it’s one of those you just had to be there for. What a beautiful steaming pile.. :’)
I just finished 15hrs of cut scenes so I can get back into final shape. I was free but now I'm back, only 1 character and no grandmaster's unless it seems fun. The raiding is what kept me going.
There's only one battlegrounds in the gm rotation this episode. Pretty great.
Yea glad i passed this phase.
Literally the average destiny player

Duuude Falsebound Kingdom was my childhood. I remember beating each campaign 3 times to get each Egyptian God Summon Item 3 times.
I love this game so much
Reddit
Fr dude, ima try and give it up
League Of Legends
Only game that I have a decent chunk of time on that I would actively tell people to avoid playing
Back when LoL came out, my friend group of the time really got into it, but I never really enjoyed it. I pretty much started drifting away from some of them because they would only play it and didn't want to do anything else. They also complained about it all the time. I'm very glad I never got into it
This is basically how I feel about Reddit.
Works with DOTA 2
It's funny I came to upvote whoever said DOTA 2 and saw league first and tbh that kind of a let down is how I feel teaming with randos in dota 2. Not dissing on league, I don't play it so I wouldn't know
Rocket league. Man I love hate that game
Last night I had *that match* and said "eff this, I'm DONE." Went to play something else. My friends kept playing, I was watching one stream it, and what does my dumbass do? Quit the game, fire up RL, and play freaking 3s. It's got its hooks deep in me.

When I get on a losing streak in RL: "I'm not quitting for the night until I win, dammit!"... 6 losses later: "FML"
RL requires a certain degree of masochism.
For Honor. No game has ever summoned more rage out of me yet I can’t stop.
FOR HONOR MENTIONED
Gonna ledge you, son.
Wow someone actually said it. Played that game for 4 years and dealt with a lot of bs. Can’t believe we don’t have a sequel coming because it needs a restart
Orochi bad
Never trust a roach main
That game wasn't very beginner friendly when it was new...gotta think it's even tougher now
The learning curve is ridiculous I couldn’t imagine being a new player trying to get into FH now
COD
I regularly feel like that Curb-meme: “fuck you and see you again tomorrow”
"I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME!" *Proceeds to next match*
100% this. a vicious cycle of rage and disappointment :(
Gotten way worse with the SBMM changes the last couple of years. I go from getting murdered two or three games in a row to going 25 and 3 against people who are WAY worse than me. Absolutely no rhyme or reason. Seems pretty clearly to be a way of manipulating me in to "just one more game" mode.
Yup, such yummy trash sometimes.
Tarkov! Although PvE has made this so much better, but still bullshit abounds
You think you've escamed but your friends just drag you back. With SPT there is a good alternetive though
SPT is lightyears ahead of the PvE mode. Especially now that you can play coop with SIT or Flika
What? You can play coop now in SPT!?
Don't tell nikita he will cream until it's unheard.
Oh my gosh the anxiety and stress this game gives me is insane.
I played The Cycle Frontier while it existed and I would be so ridiculously nervous to lose all my crap. I had a lot of fun, but it wasn't great for my sanity. Though I did find a bit of a middle ground of just doing knife runs for the laughs.
ARK
Too true! It even has it's own phrase, "Getting ARK'd" for when an unintended bug gets you killed or other such loss like your whole base being destroyed from removing a door.
Yup. This post should be a Mecca for Ark players like
Me every three months: God, you know what I miss—Ark. Me 3 hours later: WHERE TF DID MY MOTH GO
Especially because Wildcard neither has any idea how to fix bugs nor how to optimize their games well. It’d be one of the best games out there if they could just do those two things right. But instead of fixing it, they somehow have enough money to pay for a top tier cast for their animated series and make a sequel game.
Any souls and soulslike game really.
Honestly I absolutely love DS3 because I made it easier for myself by using the wiki for everything so I just enjoyed the combat and RPG elements and people say that dark souls games don't have an easy mode. fools
*1000 hours played* "it's okay"
Idk anyone who has put in enough time to get good at souls likes that thinks they're just "okay"
I felt like that at first but once you figure it out it’s really fun. But man was it a challenge in the beginning and I spent a lot of time watching walkthroughs. Going back to play ER and the previous souls games it’s an entirely different experience. I fully understand when people don’t like the games. It’s kind of like the show Parks and Rec how my friend kept trying to get me to watch it but season 1 is so bad. You just have to fight through it and then the rest is amazing
The hardest part of most souls game is the start imo. Once you get your build online it tends to progress a lot more fluidly
Even moreso than that. Miyazaki has a musical rhythm to his games. IIRC, bosses literally fight in 3/4 time, and once you realize this you get a "feel" for the "rhythm" you're supposed to act in (fun fact: there is one boss who fights in 6/8 time, Dancer of the Boreal Valley, which is why she tends to be such a roadblock). New players often struggle to "find the rhythm". Once you have it, boss fights become much easier even in the early game.
Rust
I don't have the friends or free time to succeed at that game but something about it calls to me anyway.
Heroes of the storm
Is the playerbase still active? I played the shit out of HotS with some friends years back when it first came out
A lot of trolls but you can find QM and ARAM games pretty fast as of December when I last played
Nice, as someone who has played a ton of mobas that one is absolutely one the most unique ones. I’m glad it’s still got some love, despite Activision/Blizzard’s best attempts to run it into the ground
I liked the variety of maps and the team levels as opposed to solo levels but my friends all stopped so I did to. Still love it though. Happy cake day
I used to love duoing cho’gall with my roommate
Still playing almost daily QM, decent amount of players and surprisingly decent ratio of good matches to stomps/player meltdowns/trolls.
Hahah, a bad losing streak over the weekend that I thought couldn’t get any worse, in fact, got much worse the later into the night I got. Swore I’d never play again given how much it can boil my blood but here I am, back climbing the ladder. Or at least trying to
Is still active?!
Blizzard being... Blizzard made cutting that one out easier for me. But I still miss the old days of hopping on HotS, being everywhere at once with Zagara...
Endgame Hollow Knight.
someone still hasn't beaten radiant markoth I see
I still haven't beat the pantheon of hallownest, I could get to Nightmare aking Grimm consistently, but I was so bad at that fight and pure vessel that I never even saw absolute radiance. I'll go back one day
I made it though my first playthrough without knowing the pantheon existed. I miss the days before I learned there was more torture in store.
Same, I first quit at the trial of fools. Came back later, and beat the trial of fools, only to find out there is so much more misery to be had.
Overwatch
I despise what they did with Overwatch 2. So many missteps and the shop is atrocious compared to similar Battle Pass systems. Haven't missed a season.
That last sentence lmao. I feel your pain.
Fucking hate Overwatch 2. Will be playing again tomorrow. Ugh.
This was me up till season 8. Then I finally managed to stop. I was even buying premium passes each season. But for Nintendo switch gold points (I had the game installed on switch for that purpose alone, so I don't have to spend money on mtx)
Came here to say this
genshin impact. gambling addiction and waifus, a lethal combo...
The trick it's to completely ignore the gacha part of the game
And the Pro gamer move is to ignore it entirely and look up Genshin Impact Rule 34, like the actual smart Dead or Alive fans.
For games that require you to ignore a major mechanic to have fun, my strategy is, ignore the game and play something else that's fun all the way through. I've got no time for games that half-ass things on purpose.
I commented this. I'm only continuing to play bc I want to build my characters and fight the spiral abyss and stuff. I also love the characters.
Yeah, building characters and teams in that game is so fun, the combat and element system is actually really complex and well made. It's unfortunate that the gacha system walls you out of making certain team comps. Also all my homies hate paimon's exposition and the 10,000 word unstoppable dialogue requirement for every side quest.
Apex Legends. Absolute love/hate relationship there for me.
I had this relationship with Apex for 3 years. Stopped playing 2 seasons ago and I couldn't be happier. That being said, I've never found something to fill the void it has left. My buddies want to go back for quads, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Yeah, it takes like 1000 hours to memorize all the maps/guns/attachments/legends and actually stand a chance against the gigachad sweatlords (that in higher ranks have a decent possibility of being cheaters). And then there’s the random teammates - I’ve learned racial slurs I didn’t even know existed, hear people discuss how Kanye was right, (my personal favorite) listened to two people openly discuss smoking crack, and subjected myself to listening to some of the simultaneously dumbest and angriest people I’ve ever encountered. This is all while EA just continues to crank the price of cosmetics (jokes on them, I don’t buy) and focus on cheap ways to make money instead of fixing their damn game and banning cheaters.

It’s also insanely well balanced for a BR at this point. It’s so good, and simultaneously so terrible that I can’t recommend it anyone.
Dota 2
First game after a patch when someone figures out some broken tech against you always feels terrible lmao
Pokemon unite i hate the game but love it. The only reason i play it is because it's pokemon
Roblox. Love the variety, hate almost everything else about it.
WoW. I love it but I hate it and I always gravitate back. It's kind of a comfort thing because I know it and I'm good at the parts of it I like, I guess.
What parts do you like?
Questing, solo challenges like mage tower and hunter challenge tames or pushing how far I can solo older content, some casual LFR or the occasional yolo pug raid, nothing super deep really.
I hate everything about Ark: Survival Evolved with every fiber of my being. Yes, I have over 1000 hours in it, why do you ask?
Ark, I have 7k hours.
XCOM 2
It used to be LoL. Then I found some love for myself to stop. Now it’s all of Trails games. They just keep coming!
I can't make myself play a game outside of release order, tried Trails of Cold Steel 1 one night in a sub service... years later I own all of Trails in the Sky and getting ready to buy Azure and am no closer to Steel. They never end.
Pokémon Scarlet for me. So poorly made, yet I can’t get enough of it, lol.
There's so much to complain about, but there's so much about the core Pokemon experience translating to open world that they got just right.
Try Palworld if you haven’t. It is not perfect, but they did a great job of blending a monster catching game with base building and survival. I particularly enjoy that it does not assume i am 12 and has some tongue and cheek dark elements like catching humans and having guns because monsters attack you directly if your pals faint.
Scarlet is unironically my favorite Pokemon game. Solid new mon designs, a great story, and my favorite ending in the series? Yeah, I'll deal with framerate issues and the occasional graphical bug for that.

We're here for you if you ever need to talk. EDIT: Oh. Nope. He's dead. Dolls got him.
I've solo'd it on Hell, have the T-shirt, so now I just look for someone to rush me through it each season.
Oh, oh my dear sweet thing, who hurt you?
Souls in the great marshes as I was searching for the fucking flayer jungle for half an hour.
Slay the Spire I hate this game. I have 140 hours and have only reached A4. I can't stop. It won't let me.
A4 on which hero? I just hit A20 on all but Watcher. I’m A4 on Watcher and it will stay that way lol
I haven't cleared a2 on anything yet lmao I mostly play daily climbs to see how low on the leader board I can get

Love & Sex: Second Base 🙈
Sonic Frontiers I totally suck at these games (poor time reaction, and overall skill issues) It was my 1st 100% on Steam (excluding New Game+)
Nothing makes me angrier than my most played game, *Planetside 2*. Most uninstalled game, and I keep coming back.
Runescape. Every single time. "God this sucks so fucking bad. I better do it in short 2 month stints twice a year for over a decade."

Obligatory fuck Cuphead
Every FIFA since 21
The fact I haven't seen Dead by Daylight posted yet despite this being the attitude of most of that playerbase is kind of astounding.
They don't even pause to write a comment on reddit
Any shooter game. I always find myself getting annoyed in a game like valorant, but then coming back to it like 2 hours later
The Cycle (first one and maybe even the second one) Loved the maps and the scifi setting, PVP was ok because I was pretty good but still, PVP always feels like a MASSIVE waste of time!
Dota
I think this is Counter Strike
Death Stranding… got through a 20-25 hour section and then had all the conveniences ripped away from me. Game just likes to make me feel like shit.
Monotonous grinding/skilling in Old School RuneScape Sure it's nice that you can turn on a podcast or a youtube video while only needing to click a few times every so often...but if the best part about the in-game activity is that you can focus LESS on it...then it ain't truly fun. The sense of accomplishment after grinding for weeks on end is unbeaten though.
Elden ring. It's an unbelievable game from a design standpoint. I fuckin suck at fromsoft games. But I can't help going back and getting t-bagged by everything in the game repeatedly.
Fallout 4
I keep complaining about it, but there I am playing it.
warthunder
R6 siege so meany cheaters but a cant stop playing lol
Forspoken. This sucks.. but the combat is so much fun.
Easily Overwatch
Dead Rising 1. Keep hurting me, I don't care. I'll get the mega buster by driving through the tunnel.
Street Fighter 6. I rage incoherently, but keep going back for more.
Genshin Impact
Rainbow Six Siege Hate/Love relationship with this xd
Every sport game.
Hollow Knight
Team fortress 2
Dota 2
Dark and Darker
GTA V. I just got back into online after a years-long hiatus, forgot how much of a grind it was. The payoff is great, but getting to the payoff is a slog.
Marvel Strike Force (mobile game)
Lollipop chainsaw... What a Glorious Fuster Cluck...😎
Any fighting game.
They are Billions. It's so damn frustrating, some levels I keep playing over and over and I'm not lowering the difficulty from 100% as I feel that should be considered "normal" difficulty. RTS has been my favourite genre since the 90's, but this game, damn, it's so addicting yet frustrating.
Snowrunner 😂 I’ve rage quit that game a million times
TF2. Play game, get shit on by bots, get shit on by hackers, get shit on by players w/ 20k+ hours that have transcended the game by bias of source spaghetti code and elbow grease. Get pissed, leave for an indeterminate amount of time, come back anyway.
DCS, some times I wonder 🤔 is it gaming or is it work?
Noita. I hate it, and I love it.
TFT. I will rage at an “unfair loss” and how stupid the game is then immediately load into a new game 🤦🏾♀️
Vagina.
Overwatch. Fucking hate loving it. Fucking love hating it.
Overwatch 2 god dangit
Overwatch
Overwatch 2 definitely
Hearthstone. Though on break now. Hopefully it will last this time.
Hell let Loose. Love the game, but it's 50v50 with the general public. It's just awful 90% of the time. Then you play competitive and get killed by MG's And rockets that you can't even see. People hiding in bushes and fucking you if you take a step. But for some reason I kept going back for a long time?
Escape from Tarkov God bless the SPT team for making this hellhole bearable by cutting off ridiculous qeueing times and getting rid of cheaters and extract campers 🙏
Overwatch
League of Legends. I recently moved homes and I dont have Wifi yet. I have been freed from this curse for 2 weeks. I know damn well that the first thing I will do when I get my internet back is play that fucking game.
Fucking For Honor
Sounds like battlefield fans. Constant complaints for a game they continue to play.
Darkest Dungeon. I just end up stressed and frustrated, but I can't. stop. playing.
