Forums - Gaming Discussion - In the last few years I have mostly been playing the same few games

- TLoU Survivors (4 on 4 multiplayer)

- Thief I&II fan missions, they are still being actively made btw

- Trials Fusion and Rising user made tracks

Less regularly I play:

- Dirt Rally 1 and 2 daily events

- GTAV Online racing

It is rare that I play something else and to completion. Sometimes I get an urge to replay some game but more often than not I play it just a bit or for a few hours and then lose interest.

I watch Let's plays of games that I never played more often than I play them myself.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that modern gaming sucks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I played 10 new JRPGs last year. I am hoping to get to 10 this year, but there haven't been too many JRPG releases, probably because JRPG devs don't want to launch near FFXVI.

I guess what I am trying to say is, play more JRPGS!

Any recent JRPGs that you'd recommend that don't take 100 hours?

I don't mind traditional turn-based elements, but for most JRPG's, I prefer games where the story can be beaten in 20 or 30 hours (some of my classic favorites like CHrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, Pokemon RBY, and Earthbound take roughly this long). Nowadays, I'm just not patient enough for a JRPG that takes 100 hours if I don't know I'm going to love it.

Thanks for any suggestions you feel like giving!



Love and tolerate.

I'm the complete opposite. I play 2-3 new games per month, and really feed off the feeling of discovery with a brand new game. But I totally get and appreciate your approach. There's certainly value in mastering a small section of favorite games, as opposed to playing, enjoying, and then quickly moving on from a large list of games.

My concern is that I if stopped to linger on a game, my already insurmountable backlog would come crashing down upon me. So I need to move forward constantly, like a shark

I usually play the longer JRPGs. Although I think only one of them made it to 100 hours. 50-80 is most common.

The Diofield Chronicle is a somewhat short and sweet game. The story is definitely worth checking out. (20-30 hours)

FF Strangers of Paradise wasn't that long, but it is kind of difficult. Still worth playing, especially now with the updates. (30-50 hours)

FFXVI probably won't make it to 60 hours.

TLOU Factions multiplayer still holds up phenomenally and is engrossing to play.

I almost never replay games though. I steadily make my way through a huge backlog of games that interest me but I have not finished yet.

Same here. I used it only play a few games, but thanks to Game Pass I've played so many amazing indie games, as well as some co-op games I've played with my girlfriend and her brother. 

Though this fall for me will likely be just Starfield and a week or 2 break to play Alan Wake 2. Right now I'm playing Pokemon Violet on my streams, Aragami 2 with my girlfriend and getting back into AC Valhalla off stream as I never beat it a couple of years ago as I got frustrated when Ubisoft cloud service deleted the most recent saves and I didn't wanna replay like 5-10 hours of the game.

When I discovered the world of playstation in 2012, I had a period when I played the classic JRPGs, my favorite was Chrono.. Cross, I liked playing them on my PSP, but after a while I grew tired of them, they are marathons but I prefer sprint gaming, na mean.

As long as you are enjoying it, it doesnt matter.





I dabble in different games, but I have some that I come back to all the time and always have installed. These being; FIFA 22 (career mode), Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, The Witcher 3, Civilization IV and Skyrim: Special Edition (absolutely loaded with mods).
