GNU_Linux Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 For context of my own preferences I'm primarily an FPS player with leanings towards stuff that takes design cues from the 90's & things not all that grounded in reality. The only recent AAA games I've touched from the past year or so are Doom Eternal & Borderlands 3 (counting from it's time of release on steam as opposed to it's EGS date). The single biggest time sink for beating a game (excluding extras) I've had recently is Deus Ex at about 30 hours or so. A marathon by my usual preferences so should be no suprise JRPGs aren't my thing. That & a large part of the genre is turn based which is a style that of gameplay that doesn't appeal to me at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'm always amazed by how long people say it takes them to play through games. I can only assume a lot of folk just burn through them as quickly as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Depends on the game for me. Most of the time with the state of most long-winded games, it's just a case of seeing as much of it as possible before getting burnt out. But there's rare occasions where you get games you simply don't want to end, and can end up putting stupid hours into. I dread to think how much I've put into the Witcher 3 over the years (and platforms). Most recent No Man's Sky save broke the 100 hour mark (probably did about 50 across other saves previously too. Death Stranding was a real shame to finish, think that ended up being about 80. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Considering they supposedly didn't start work on the game 'til 2016, that 2017 leak must have been virtually worthless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Lemmings is surely overdue some kind of re-release. I know there were a multitude of shit sequels over the years, but even they've dried up in recent times. It strikes me as an addictive idea that somebody with imagination would be able to re-do and expand upon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Aye Lemmings is great, even as a wee 2d puzzler. I did have a 3d version for the PS I think but it was baws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 There is a lemmings game for android which was good. They've added more and more ways to try force you to pay for things though and ruined it in the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I have the lemmings android game and during the first 4 months of the last lock down I did subscribe (£10 a month it was I think) ((also forgot to cancel it for two of those)) and it was decent but once you stop paying it's hard to back to the squibby version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 There might be a thread for it already but this will do. My worst gaming purchase - Someone at my place of work at the time described some game with dinosaurs and shit and the way they described it made it sound incredible, truly a game I would love to delve into, didn't catch the name of the game and stoned out my box later that day I downloaded some random ass Dinosaur game for £20, turns out they were on about Ark and whatever I bought was certainly not that, played 5 minutes before it got deleted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
