    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.

      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.

    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.

        I don’t get that actually, and neither does she lol. We both like Inquisition. It was a step back towards Origins in gameplay and the story was fantastic.

        Even then, bad gameplay should be made up for (for her) by the story. Veilguard shits on everything David wrote and that’s what upsets her. It’s just flat out bad writing in every aspect.

    I just spent 20 hours on the demo for the new game roadcraft. I’m just pushing dirt around in a tractor like I’m playing with Tonka trucks back when I was 5. I haven’t really done anything interesting, just leveled dirt. Anyway, ill probably put in another 6 hours today after work.

    I’ve been playing the Monster Hunter series since 2004 and have logged well over 10k hours.

        For most of its over 20 year lifecycle, Monster Hunter was extremely niche and considered inaccessible and bad by the wider gaming populace. Complaints about the series are ongoing, even with the newest entry (PC gamers especially consider apocalyptic due to actual performance issues that need to be addressed). It’s always something, and especially with either very new players or very old vets, who either expect dark souls or yearn for the old days of attacking with the joystick.

        I think it fits the description, as I’m sure the games being called “bad” by op certainly have a charm that drew someone’s deep attention. I know MH isn’t for everyone, but I’ll love it until the day I die, which, considering todays climate about mental health, probably won’t be that far off.

      Came here to also say Elite. They’re actually doing updates now, but I still would never recommend to anyone despite devoting so much time to it.

    Deep Rock Galactic is a very good game that doesn’t deserve this slander (except Season 3 which has given me actual nightmares)

    I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.
