You didn't play it
>>713520323I don't care what anons say this game and RDR2 are both kino
>>713520501Yeah, but lifechanging? TLOU just felt like another stealth game to me.

You can have 3 women if your a chad
>Le vidya gaem... she affects my very existence in le tangible, concrete, lasting way
Lying cocksucker or literal mental midget I can't decide. A toy didn't change your manchildbaby existence in any sincere way outside of the part where it ensured that you would be a shutin incel for the majority of your days.
>>713520812Holy TRUKE shitcan this thread now.
Final Fantasy 1 made me realize 4 niggas in a row is pretty fun
>>713520098 (OP)Just read a book. Video games are nothing but a bunch of toys for kids. You can never expand or "change" your mind for the better. Even if you could change how you think just by playing vidya, it would just be degeneration most of the time. For example playing gacha shit may turn your brain into a cucked faggot.
>>713521076Okay gonna go read Twilight like you
>>713520613I meant RDR1 and RDR2 I've never played cuckmann's game
KCD2 made me realize that what I have in my possession doesn't define me. What defines me are my skills that I can use to acquire anything that I want.
I would play and have almost empty inventory but I never felt like I don't own anything because at any point I can easily steal and get what I want with no hustle
>>713520098 (OP)Persona 3 gave me a decent perspective on death with some cute girls on the side.
>>713521076I've read plenty of books and none of them come close to The Last of Us in terms of quality. Anna Karenina was close but that's about it.
>>713520098 (OP)I don't think I've had that experience with games.
WoW taught me english, if that counts.
>>713520098 (OP)none, but there are plenty that have strengthened and shaped my convictions
>>713520098 (OP)Among Us because I had a little faith in humanity but it's gone after that game's release...
>>713521076I've read plenty of books, and honestly just feels like a chore. Every fiction I ever read just feels like budget-whatever is popular for that genre. It just gets boring after a while.
Also, I hate using my imagination. What if you're favorite book or franchise gets adapted into a film or TV show and you're disappointed with the result? You'll never be happy. I can't imagine how Harry Potter readers must've felt back in the early 2000s when they made Hermione a model instead of a disheveled nerd, and I bet LOTR readers have one or two reasons to call the movies shit despite how good they are.
>>713521563protip:donโt read books unless youโre interested in what you read
I donโt read much, but when I do, itโs mainly mythology and biology books, and that greatly increases my enjoyment
>>713521076>Just read a bookBooks are literally just vidya of the past. No one would touch them if Dostoyevsky made a killer RPG instead
>>713521971it's special because he used letters not graphics
>>713520098 (OP)Concord. Not because I even played it, it was already refunded, and rendered unplayable before the window I typically ever try games. It's the fact that something like that got the sort of backing, TV shows, promotions, budget, and just all around backing. I'd previously thought that Sony, and global megacorps like them were just these soulless profit seeking automatons, but now I realize they have actual will behind them, and are just evil.
>>713521076Reading pollutes the mind. The lower bar to entry results in far more slop in the field of literature.
>>713523052Based. You cant just internalize ideas of others. Reading is for the most part is food for pseuds who want to appear smart and read "because that's what smart people do".
I however accept reading as some leisure activity, like some prefer vidya some to read a book. Many games nowadays have tons of text anyway
>>713520160This, but not in a good way
It made me realise videogames are doomed to forever be a shallow imitation of Hollywood movies, rather than utilising the strengths of its own medium
This whole game (Pathologic, nowdays more known as Pathologic 1) made change my perspective on games, and this particular scene in particular left a massive mark on me. It's one of the biggest achievements I've seen in game storytelling, the only few other moments that come close are mostly from other games by the same developer.
It made me take a more academic interest in games, and more broadly, about storytelling in general. And that eventually quite heavily influenced my career. So yeah, it genuinely changed my world view, and it left a life-changing mark.
IPL games are the most underrated thing that ever happened to gaming. I miss the days where when we used to have IPL threads semi-regularly, but I suspect that shit would not fly here anymore.
Maybe when Pathologic 3 comes out, there will be some discussion for a while. It's fairly close to release now, apparently.
>>713522912How do you feel about the fact they're making even more live services
>>713521076Reading books is for faggots. Your real duties are to breed, work until your last breath to create more wealth for your boss or die in a war for the elites amusement
