Here are my go-to vidyas and why they fail to appease me
Ark: Can't have proper base fighting/defense on solo, PVE is for pussies and PVP is overrun by gangs of toxic asian sociopaths
No man's sky: Zero quality combat and zero reason to actually gather and build shit for hundreds of hours like it forces you to
Star Citizen: You'll wake up naked and your ship's weapons won't work and then while you try to fix these bugs the game will crash... Even when it does work, there's nothing to fucking do except aggressively screenshot
Skyrim: dogshit combat and depressingly overplayed, closest I came to actual fulfillment only to be let down by shallow depth
WoW: Fun in 2005, classic was neat, ruined itself during/after cataclysm...
LoL: LOL
Risk of rain 2: fun gimmick, gets old fast
FO4: spend 300 hours making a perfect base, npcs brick themselves and there's no quality combat once you gather everything interesting
Kenshi: Fuck you
Civ4/5/6 & CK: fuck map based games I'd rather play RISK irl
Elden Ring: only fun with item/enemy randomizer but then it bugs out or updates and wipes your save.... the fights begin to feel identical and there's not much point to continuing
Assassin's creed Valhalla: Can't even be a viking, game over for killing peasants??? Cash grab development
Anytime I think "hm what would a fun open world survival crafting game be where I can build, have quality combat, and interact with interesting npcs/cities..." my library is completely empty
Everytime I wait for a big new game to come out, I think "this is finally it. a reason not to kill myself." And then it comes out and I feel completely cheated. I can't wait for starfield to leave a cavern of disappointment in my soul. Did my expectations rise? I used to have so much fun playing geist on the gamecube with my older bro, then he literally became schitzo and I haven't recognized him since 2012.
why live
