  • Personally I’m just very picky and increasingly so as I age because there’s a lot of retread ground I’m unwilling to pay to retread. I have no…interest really… for average/mediocrity. People say time or energy, but I always find those two things when I’m really into a game, so I don’t think it’s that. It’s fine, I’ve found new hobbies when I have nothing to play.

    I also almost never replay anything. I’m the same with books and shows/movies. One and done.

    A well written story will get me to forgive A LOT of bad however. The first NIER game, Replicant, comes to mind as a perfect example. The gameplay is repetitive dogshit, but I didn’t care. The story is amazing and motivated me through.

    But I’m not some weird gatekeeper. You’re not doing something you need to be defensive about. Your way is not inferior somehow. Unless it was somehow financially harmful to you or loved ones relying on you is how I view it.

    Plus, I rely on guys like you who recommend the stand-outs in their otherwise mountainous pile of shit :p so thanks! haha.

    A lot of the really obscure stand outs I find by digging through Steam’s new releases myself, github, aggregators like lemmy, etc, or from variety game streamers who don’t chase trends. Tomato for example occasionally picks something new with no reviews that looks interesting and I end up obbessed with some flopped indie game like Knight’s Try Just perfectly on point physics and difficulty. Don’t judge a book by it’s Unity engine aping Mario 64 cover.
