hey there.

it's been pretty quiet in here lately hasn't it?

Most of you probably remember me because I never left and I'm always posting those big threads around the end of each year. A lot of people think I really like Guardians of the Galaxy so I feel the need to clarify here that that's true.

I don't want your game recommendations unfortunately. I've had a hard time caring about gaming in general lately and haven't finished a single playthrough this year except for replays. I couldn't even get into Zelda for crying out loud! Is this normal? Guess I'm getting old.

anyway yeah that's the thread, hope y'all had a good weekend

wow i'm really setting trends the moment i get back. figures!

i also got into a gaming lull for a little while, so i totally get that. i feel like the hardest part for me is literally just starting a game. when i started TotK i was like ummm... i don't wanna do this. then after pushing thru the first hour i got addicted and loved it.

idk. life's weird.

also guardians of the galaxy sucks.

Whats your take on the GOTG characters that are NOT Rocket tho.

Not sure what you're talking about, this is a completely original thread I came up with on my own.

I get that about getting into it after pushing through, sadly with TotK I've been pushing through since the beginning and I'm nearing the end of the game and still don't really feel like playing it.

Life is weird.

Also your opinion sucks.

Depends on which version of the characters I guess, but generally they're all awesome. Rocket is the most awesome tho.

As you get older you  basically experienced/seen everything in gaming by now. That's why i mainly like challenging games or heck even online fighting games cause you are fully focused on winning or finishing the level.

I recommend Wii Sports

So now, instead of half the hot topics section being NintendoPie threads, they'll be parodies of the comeback thread instead. Nice.

Post this comment in my thred and recommend me a ps2 game 

I suppose it is something along those lines. I've played a lot of competitive games and single-player Nintendo games over the past decade, so those are probably what I feel burnt out on. I think what there's left in videogames that can interest me is good storytelling, maybe I should try out some "sonygames", but eh idk the problem with these cinematic type games is I feel they generally take themselves too seriously. And that I don't have a sony platform so there's that too.

If I look back through the last few years, these were my favorite games I played in each of them...

2017: Breath of the Wild, average story
2018: Hollow Knight, not the most focused story but a very good one nonetheless
2019: Persona 5, amazing story and lots of cutscenes
2020: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, not a story-driven game but still really cinematic and tells a beautiful tale
2021: Guardians of the Galaxy, a full on cinematic game, a sonygame if you will, amazing story
2022: Alien Isolation, not as story-focused as the last one but still very cinematic and builds on a movie universe I love

And then this year I've been into movies more than anything. So yeah there's a clear progression there, I suppose it had been coming.

Occasionally I get into these gaming lulls, but they pass. I just kinda don't want to play anything and sometimes even push myself to do it anyways. A few months later I'm hooked on a game and totally addicted.
