  • I am asking this as I am interested in how other people choose games and think about things but you choose games to buy by the looks of it or does gameplay mechanics play any role in it?

    I have been playing games since 1988 so I have played a lot of stuff during my whole life but I have never considered only buying games of a certain genre or camera perspective etc. Gameplay is what catches me and the amount of indie games in my library is proof of this. That said I mostly play to see and experience different rules and mechanics in games. Very seldom I finish a game because once I figured it out it is probably dead to me as I find something new to play. There are exceptions of course. And yes, I know I have a problem 😂
















  • About 20 years ago I played world of warcraft every day and every awaken hour of the day or just about. School was over and I lived with my parents and was “looking for work”. Let’s just say that I played vanilla so much that I had guild members calling in the middle of the night to get together for world boss killing.

    Since then I have realized that is not how to go about in life and last time i really got stuck was with Factorio.




  • I played Factorio first and since my friends are “done with Factorio” (not sure what’s wrong with them but I think I need new friends) I agreed to play satisfactory with them. It was fun for a couple of hours then it just started tobuild up rage inside of me because of so many strange or stupid design decisions the devs made. When we got to trains and I started building that was when I hit my rage limit and boiled over. My god those stations are huge and the unloading was the most stupid shit ever. Then all the small finicky tricks you can do to slim your builds… And this you want to learn/do since blueprints are small. Don’t get me started… Never started the game again after we were done but have a couple of hundred more hours in Factorio since then :)
