i havent been able to finish a game in a long time

i always stop just by the end act

I played BG3, got to the credits, and felt nothing as the credits rolled. Never felt challenged, never had a hard decision to make, and most of the memories had already faded.

I then played Cyberpunk 2077 with the Phantom Liberty DLC, and when the DLC credits started to roll, I just sat there for the twelve minutes or so it took for them to finish. It's not really a fair comparison, because the whole Phantom Liberty ending is just an ever-escalating situation of shit getting worse and worse and worse, and then the climax hits and you're just trying to not break from complete exhaustion.

When the credits start rolling, the music is perfect.

>>713489115 (OP)
MGS2 but the real kicker was after the credits

999

The story in the game got me interested in them again. Honestly I enjoyed the mystery so much that when I went into work the next day and I hadn't finished it, I spent most of my day thinking about all the foreshadowing and what the story implications were. The finale really paid off on original hardware

when I was a little kid actually buckling down and doing the fucking triforce piece part of windwaker and beating it and watching the credits with all the faces floating around in bubbles made me feel that way. not that the game was that great but I was impressed with myself that I had the tenacity to get through that bullshit

I did not create the thread, nor say anyone's favorite game was shit. I simply said a game will not change your life as the image implies. Not even a book will change your life.

I wouldn't say it changed my life but its sorta how i felt watching the credits roll after beating Metal Gear Revengeance.

The whole back end of that game was a fuckin ride, and then you just have the chill credits song playing over the visual of Raiden's sword.

>zoomers smoke the least of all generations
Depends where you're from. I'm Gen Z, I'm a smoker, and most of the Gen Z kids I grew up with either smoke or get their nicotine in other ways. It's 1 in 4 among Gen Z that smokes , which is a good thing overall but I think it's like 40% that consume nicotine in general.

Main reason is that people have become addicted to technology instead , we're also on track to become the most obese generation too.

>>713494253
Why do people always have this hierarchy of vices? Gambling and drinking and smoking all done in moderation are fine. If you're gambling addict you're going to lose all of your money and possibly get yourself into deep shit with criminal, of you're too much of a drunk you can become an alcoholic and die, if you smoke a pack a day you're gonna get copd and die a miserable death.

I've never understood why people do this except that they want to make excuses for whatever their preferred vice is or they want to pretend that they have no res vice

I don't think there is one.
I have also never seen a movie or read a book that "changed my life".
There have been several that lingered with me, made me think and stayed on my mind for some time, but none of those ever "changed" anything, all my personal changes came through life itself.

Like, what does "changed my life" even mean?
Did it make me a better or worse person?
Did I learn something so profound that I change my ways according to it?
It's a dumb question.

Smoking looks cool, and I enjoy the process of breathing in and out. But it stinks like shit, and I dont get anything from nicotine besides an uncomfortable head rush. I just pull the air into my mouth and blow it out again, and that doesnt feel right to me. I wish they werent bad for you because smoking is fun and gives something for my adhd brain to focus on when im doing nothing.

Portal 1 is an hour long glorified tech demo with braindead simple puzzles and such dry and boring characters and writing compared to the sequel.

Portal 2 improved on the first game in every conceivable way. The first game just felt like a chore.

>>713508794
Really? Because everything in Portal 2 felt forced as fuck. The potato, Cave Johnson, the reddit core, all of it felt super fucking forced.
It had less areas where you could open portals, leading to much more straightforward and linear gameplay.
It also outstayed its welcome, whereas the first Portal left you wanting more.
Sure the first 80% of the first portal is very easy NOW, but at the time it was an extremely new mechanic that took some getting used to. The atmosphere was much stronger too.

1 felt like art, 2 felt like a theme park ride

Portal 2 had better writing, characters, pacing, puzzles, novel gameplay mechanics, and graphics/effects.

Portal 1 was just a series of dull and simplistic puzzles that felt like a proof of concept or tech demo. Simultaneously too short while also feeling like an absolute drag.

>1 felt like art, 2 felt like a theme park ride
In other words, 1 just came up with an original proof of concept, 2 actually made that idea into an enjoyable game.

If you want Portal but better in every possible way, you should just play the Witness.. but that would filter you almost immediately considering you found Portal 1 to be difficult.

Never smoked a cigarette, I smoked a few joints though. Barely even felt anything.

>>713509805
Didn't inhale then, clearly.

Not life-changing, but a pretty compelling last one was yesterday. Got done with this game called Vietnam War: it's like a solodev-made open-world shooter largely set in South Vietnam (the North is there but there's nothing to do so far) where there's no plot and you can either do your random missions like protecting a village or capturing victory points across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It's not good right now, but it's fun: villages burning, B-52s obliterating things so hard you can basically create a river or blast a mountain into submission with craters enabled, artillery everywhere, Vietnamese crawling out and all that. You can play as the Vietnamese, but I really didn't want to do anything with them at that point.
30 hours later, I've captured all the victory points except the one near Laos's capital in the Plain of Jars. I'm so deep into the enemy territory it'd be much easier for me to reach Hanoi than the DMZ line. Still, I capture it, go back to the airbase from which I captured the point, get on a plane and ride right back to Saigon. Because it's not a jet, it takes like 10-15 minutes just flying back while you can only watch the jungle and the hills.
There is an "endgame" to all this. You don't have to capture anything: once you do a full tour of service, you can just go home. You can buy property, join the police, steal things from people's houses etc. It's not ready yet like anything else, but it's there. I grab a ticket to my home city and board a plane while everything behind me is exploding: someone is shooting nearby.
I get off the plane, there's a bunch of anti-war protesters near the exit, but they're not protesting me. I get in a car and drive to my home city. I have 70,000$ in my pocket after 7 tours of service, so I don't have to work for the rest of my life. There's a helicopter in the sky, but it's not for me or anyone. The game gives a tip to look out for objectives but there aren't any since I'm not in South Vietnam. My war is over.

Also the game acknowledging the cryptid as being both very real and (allegedly) partially responsible for the murder was just so fucking corny I don't think my eyes could roll back any further.

>>713510102
Nah, I saw it from a Vinesauce stream. and really got into it since unscripted ugly games without anything to follow like McDickie stuff or Kenshi or Matchless Kungfu are my shit.
Do NOT buy this now if you want a fun experience from start to finish; rather wait for it to be released. People use RPGs all the time before shooting so you feel like you're getting shot at by a Katyusha, you can randomly ramp into heaven while trying to get into a tunnel, sometimes you get killed so hard you wake up dead in a hospital and die again before being finally let out, I still have no idea how squads actually work etc. It's only fun if you can handle it.
If you want a tip, the dev has another game called Winter War 1939. It's a bit fucking shit since he never finished it (there are actual objectives and all, but you can't do anything) besides having funny skiing mechanics and an ability to just build a tank or a plane at any moment, so he made another one instead using some of its mechanics as a base. The dev had some money problems along with having to care for his parents and this one being actually sort of good helped him with it so I expect it to be cared about more and the patches are coming on the regular. During my playthrough, I think 13 patches have been done.

Im the opposite. Never been addicted to anything. There was a time where I would party a lot and so would drink and smoke every day and once I stopped partying I never had an urge to do either. Same with weed. I never enjoyed it and it just made me anxious so I stopped trying it altogether. Benzos are the closest ive been to being "addicted" as in once I ran out I wanted to get more, but it wasnt so much an urge as it was just such a nice experience that I wanted to do it again. Maybe if I had easy access it wouldve got me? But I knew of its risks so I feel like I wouldve just stopped myself.

1 was a glorified tech demo. 2 was a retarded consolized version of the first game with more of the unfunny writing and a far gayer atmosphere. They dumbed down the game immensely by preventing you from placing portals anywhere non-important.

Neither game is good, but while Portal 1 is a 6/10 tech demo that was fine to play for free, Portal 2 is a 2/10 pile of shit that cost 30 bucks (more than the entire orange box at launch).

Changing/altering your perspective, which is all any media achieves, is a change to your life. 99.9999% of people who watched any movie or listened to any album never actually went out and physically changed their lives after having a self-reflective epiphany, and those that did arguably only did it due to shifts in brain activity due to age that conveniently lined up with the moment.

Don't understand how anybody can have their life changed by a book or movie. I've casually watched every big non-slop movie, read every supposed great book, all the stuff praised before the rise of influencer-tier journalism in the past 20 years, and none of it was "life changing." Entertaining, maybe, but there's a stark difference between dopamine injection and walking away with my life's foundations rocked.

Anon, you live in a period of time founded long after the very ideals of these people you're sucking off have been rooted in the groundwork of society. Having your life changed by Greek philosophers in the 21st century is like being mesmerized by the sun when you're a teenager. Their very theology is rooted into the bedrock of modern civilization. So again, if you read that material and walked away having your shit rocked, you were never fucking alive to begin with. You coasted through a good chunk of your life simply not paying attention to what had already been crafted around you.

I never said I was smart. There's a vast difference in saying you're a pseudo-intellectual and claiming I'm intelligent. I simply recognize you for what you are, even if you don't. Nobody comfortable in their own intelligence comes into a board about video games, in a thread about how video games changed their life, and then brings up how books and movies are infinitely superior. That is intellectual posturing.

Literally who are you quoting? This is like maybe 10% related to anything I've said, which is the part about being born into the morals of past philosophers, so their lessons are inherently intrinsic to your growing up. Meaning you really shouldn't be having your core rocked by knowledge that was given to you in droves as you grew up.

>>713518086
>no you made fun of people who had their life changed by video games and claimed its not a real thing and they're just retarded
Made fun? Is your ego so fragile that you think me saying that video games aren't as life changing as a book or movie personally hurt you?

My guy, I have played a lot of video games and writing in video games is not up to par to what you see in movies and books. The medium has been around for what, 50 years? And writing for video games has only really been taken seriously in the last 25 maybe, and most of that revolves around RPG's where the craft is mostly just worldbuilding.

>>713518240
Please pinpoint where I said I'm intelligent in that greentext. Because unless I have dementia and mastered invisible ASCII, there's nothing there that says "I am very smart -- smarter than you even."

no but its a retarded statement to make since it depends on many factors like what video games you've played and at which moment you've played them since that matters greatly too. sometimes in life you're not in the optimal conditions to have learned something or "get" something presented even through layers of abstractions and metaphor.
the statement is so retarded it doesn't even make sense, you're just comparing it just trying to act tough and prove your point. you insecure faggot.

>>713518365
So you've read every great work, seen every great movie, and gained no valuable information from them at all that changes your perspective because you're that sure of yourself, and you don't think you're saying you're too intelligent to he changes by new information? You're a narcissist my guy

>>713518559
>no but its a retarded statement to make since it depends on many factors like what video games you've played and at which moment you've played them since that matters greatly
I mean if you get some kind of extreme emotional catharsis from a video game it's probably not the video game that actually did anything , just saying. In terms of being introduced to new forms of thought , video games don't really focus on that either. Video games can inspire you , sure, but I think "life changing" is a bit more severe isn't it?

>>713518768
>I mean if you get some kind of extreme emotional catharsis from a video game it's probably not the video game that actually did anything
neither are the words in the book its the story and meaning behind them, video games even go a layer further since you're actively participating in it with your actions.
>but I think "life changing" is a bit more severe isn't it?
why do you think this? the simplest things that you may thing are mundane and retarded can be the catalyst for someone's else life changing moment, its all about perspective and thats why the original statement is retarded and doesn't make sense

No, that was never the statement ever being thrown at you. The assertion is that everything they've ever said is so intrinsically interwoven into modern society that reading it is akin to experiencing something you've already seen a million times. Kind of like how all entertainment starts feeling the same when you've witnessed hundreds of examples.

It's that one. It's assuming that we are inherently born and raised with a wealth of knowledge and perspective that "just is". No, you have not been raised in the ways of every single Enlightenment , modernist, or post modernist thinker. The traditionalists are not a part of your every day life, nor are the existentialists. Religions differ, philosophies differ, economic thoughts differs, morals are different, we are born unique emotionally and with unique perspectives, and the actual function of society and our emotions dominate us more than logic.

Assuming you have so much knowledge just by existing is so, so shallow it's hilarious.

Like anon, you realize we lost perspective as much a we gain it right? You realize that there's diversity in thought and in our own upbringings, right? No I don't think the core cultural values of the Chinese, Saudis, French, Finns, Japanese and Russians all have the same philosophical and religious perspectives hard coded into them. Societies change what we put emphasis change and we don't all work from the same base point

No, that's not what is being said. How many regurgitations of "don't be a greedy cunt and be happy with what you have" have you heard in your life? This is taught to children in nursery school. What's one of the first notable example of this ideal written down? Epicurus. "Cherish what you have, because it used to be what you hoped for." You can do this with any notable quote from any philosopher. Again, basic moral for children.

"Changed my life" is too much but Spec Ops: The Line has given me a lot to think about how most media (or at least games/movies) tailor events to give the protagonist the moral high ground, especially in war shooters.

TLoU2 didn't tell me anything new but I don't think any other game made me feel so low, I had to give up on playing it for a while. Not take a break, but just let myself get killed in a (vain) attempt for some things to stop

They're good games, but how did they actually change your life? None of the posts in the thread are genuine about this. It's better to phrase it as "what games do you like a hell of a lot more than others for any various reasons?"

>>713528307
You don't see anything wrong with a 30 dollar sequel to a 5 dollar game having shittier content? And yes, consolized. They dumbed down the entire game for joysticks and removed any situations where you might have to think fast.

It isn't shittier content; every aspect of the game is fleshed out and improved. Nor is it consolized, as Orange Box also launched on console.

And I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about with "le think fast". Portal 1 is a much easier game (too easy and short in fact, just feels like a tech demo) and is perfectly fine on a controller just like Portal 2.

Low Shivers IRL. You are cut off from the World-Spirit. I pity you
I saw it more as a moment where Harrier realizes that he isn't actually at the end of history and things as genuinely novel as the phasmid- things that the audience had likely dismissed as childish fantasies- are still out there is the world, just waiting to be discovered.

>this world is a fundamentally sordid place
You only prove my theory even more. I hope one day you find something or someone who proves that wrong to you.

Hegelians really do be thinking that history and human consciousness progressess when children still exist and people are still discussing ideas and problems that have not progressed or been solved in any meaningful way since ancient writers living in dead civilizations first spoke of them.

Why yes, I do think things are at least somewhat better now than they were in the bronze age by most metrics :)

MGS1 I guess? That was the game that made video games my number one hobby for the rest of my life.

>>713540020
You cannot prove it wrong when the world proves it right time and time again. The fact that you cannot see it is a you problem. You just refuse to believe it and stick your head in the sand because you just want to feel more pleasure and less pain. That's really all there is to it. You satisfying some worldly craving. To be a part of samsara. To strive and, most importantly, to succeed. To beat life down and watch it bleed in the mud in triumph. The triumph that gives you pleasure. Of course, the truth is that pleasure is preceeded and followed by inevitable pain. Your gain is someone else's loss, and it doesn't have anything to do with whatever nebulous economic system happens to grind your gears.
Your view of the world is based entirely on self-serving ignorance. You probably rely on meaningless terms like "overthinking" to prevent you from thinking too hard about anything at all. Just focus on finding and keeping your precious gf anon. That's all you are good for in the eyes of God.

>>713541358

>>713541561
Without getting too deep into the metaethical autism of it all, I would say that the average person has more potential for long-term happiness now than during the bronze age. We can probably keep it simple and define happiness as presence of pleasure and absence of pain. Unless you're religious or full-blow antinatalist, it shouldn't be too controversial to say that, given the choice, you would rather live now than in bronze age.

>>713541561
Oh sorry to be specific: Medicine has increased life expectancy massively and helps treat the pain of symptoms. Slavery probably leads to a more unhappy experience overall due to lack of safety, autonomy, etc when compared to a free man as well as the abiding sense of shame that comes with this sense of inferiority and which was evidently felt even in non-democratic cultures which didn't place as much value on autonomy. So reducing slavery would be a good.

>>713540315
Hegel does not care about those metrics, moron. His single metric is "freedom" and to him, being free just means being a hegelian who locks his mind into the idea that he is just a cog in the machine of history and that God is just a euphemism for when literally everyone will be purely rational at all times and free from desire and passions (irrational) because then the Absolute will be literally living inside our minds and it will because we will at all times know exactly what is the "right thing to do" in literally all situations. Yes, the guy was a cult leader. No idea why leftists fellate his dead penis when he clearly speaks so ill of hedonism. Must be because he justifies being a control freak, because its just historically necessary to kill the people you don't like.

>>713542126
>metaethical
Do you know what "metaethics" is?
>I would say that the average person has more potential for long-term happiness now than during the bronze age.
Ok... are you going to actually justify your opinion? Or why the average person needs to feel long term pleasure? Surely, we should be trying to build the matrix or pleasure machine if that is our goal.
>We can probably keep it simple and define happiness as presence of pleasure and absence of pain
That actually complicates things. The simpler would be just absence of pain, like Epicurus described it. In fact, he just described pleasure as absence of pain.

Ok. You going to explain why these things make old world bad and current world good? I'm not sure I get what you mean by "autonomy" either. Or freedom, for that matter. You talking about "can do whatever the fuck I want" or the kantian/hegelian "can do things which are rational?"

>I would say that the average person has more potential for long-term happiness now than during the bronze age
Buddhism destroyed by materialism and logic. What do you mean I can just sit around and breathe? Nah man, I need to go and defeat life man. I need to fuck and eat man.

He was, undoubtably, smarter than you. However, he was talking about happiness (which he defined as pleasure but one that is a truly stable state of well-being, I.e. absence of pain). This state is not attained by active indulgence, which is dependent on innumerable external factors which you have little control of, but moderation if not asceticism.

>Surely, we should be trying to build the matrix or pleasure machine if that is our goal.
Could you explain to me why that would be bad?

>Do you know what "metaethics" is?
Examining fundamental moral assumptions/whether we can know the truth-values of moral claims? Stuff of that nature. I just brought it up since it seems like you're coming at this from an almost buddhist life-negationist POV, so the things we value as "good" might be so fundamentally different as to make conversation difficult. Because I could point to any particular thing that people tend to value and then you'd just say "That's fleeting/Maya/Samsara" and we'd have nowhere left to go.
