Well, not because you Just find it boring, but because there's Just nothing good anymore.

So, how do you feel about the current and future of gaming?

The most recent game i have played is wings of liberty.
The next most recent game i played was tes 4 oblivion.
So, i think i could say i grew pretty tired of the games nowadays.
Oblivion was a huge disappointment for me, black and white 2 also was a huge disappointment. After those two games i have spent valueable money on and got disappointed i pretty much decided to never buy a game anymore.
I support the indy scene though, i try to make my own games, i am thinking alot about game balance and how a game should be like, but i really dont play games that much anymore.
 
I suppose games are getting a bit repetitive for me now, but that's expected. I mean, after playing so many, there's not much more you can find that is new.
I remember as kids, we could play so many games and find all of them fun and exciting, and spend hours on them. Now, I rarely play a game for more than like 20 hours gametime.

Indy games are fun though they are short. Maybe that's why I like them though, I finish through their novelty quickly before they get boring and repetitive like mainstream games.
 
This brings to mind the games I played when I was half my age. Games like Lightspeed and Paradoxion, which few people knew about but provided me with hours of entertainment. I only mention those because I've been replaying them, but there were tons of others.
 
When i was younger i played gothic, morrowind, ragnarok online, battlefield 1942, baldurs gate 1 + 2, c&c tibrium sun, starcraft, knights and merchants, warcraft 3, and lots of snes and gb games.
 
Because I find it likeable. If it was a Facebook status I would unlike it just to like it again.
 
I intend to allow myself to say "I DISLIKE this game"
I really.. truly mean it! :)
 
It doesn't matter, it was already forbidded.
 
I agree with you FireCat; I've recently figured out that gaming is a waste of time that could be spent doing much more productive things. However, when I do game, I rely on old classics that I've always loved like Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Startopia (look it up, epic game), Age of Empire, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, the list goes on.

There are a few games I try nowadays, but modern games run slow on my laptop and I tend to be a bit anti-mainstream. Also, practically half of all the games made recently are based on/have game mechanics from CoD :/. I LOVE Starcraft 2, and I can't stop playing Minecraft :D I love all the Lego games as well, they're funny and stress-free games.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
