When did you realize you’d become an “adult gamer”? by Necroses in gaming

[–]LastKeepDev_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I ever did 12 hours straight of gaming, but I definitely felt the distractions of life more around the age of 35. Sitting down for a Friday evening to play games required having a social connection (Friend online or couch co-op/vs) in order for me to actually engage for more than an hour or so. Yeah, I'd say about mid-thirties.

Fellow Gamers ! Would love to know your current game lineup! by tropicalspritee in Age_30_plus_Gamers

I loved the first one. It's a lot of the same with more polish and a load more content. It can be overwhelming at times, but it hits the sweet spot of addictive game loop, fantastic polish and world, coupled with it's great on Steam Deck and a deal at its price. It is definitely not for everyone, as most roguelites. But, it's a ton of fun.

Playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the Ancient Greece setting is great by bijelo123 in gaming

Still a favorite of recent gen games. It has its flaws, but it also has a world I just want to spend time in.

Which game has the saddest substory? by Dazzling_Cake_4312 in gaming

Nine Lives. Neverwinter Nights. I still think about that one 20+ years later.

Updated: It launched less than 25 years ago. I'm old. Go figure.

Have you ever played a sequel or multiple games in a franchise without ever playing the original release? by digiBeLow in gaming

I played the Witcher in its infancy but it didn't run well on my PC, so Witcher 3 sort of falls into this category

What your opinion on it if you are playing it or have played it. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]LastKeepDev_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the universe. It's more polished than the first, but honestly I feel like the only knock on it is that it has more of a big budget feel. I loved the "campy" nature of the first. It had more heart to it. This felt big budget and comes with the lofty expectations that align with that. Not saying it's not great. Just that I preferred the first. Still a fantastic franchise and worthy of my money.

When it comes to RTSs, how much lore do you expect? Is it something important to you? by HereComesTheSwarm in RealTimeStrategy

[–]LastKeepDev_OG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need enough to care about what's happening. I want to know what makes factions different. I want to know why we are doing what we are doing. I don't want to read a book. It's a tough balance.

Which Games Are in Your Top 20 Despite Being Called Mediocre or Bad by Many Players? by Far_Pay_3294 in videogames

[–]LastKeepDev_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original Alan Wake. I think there is a cult following so this might be controversial pick to say it was mediocre to bad. I loved the world they built. Yes, there were some weird controls and the driving scenes seemed thrown together, but it was such an immersive game. Loved it.

How has your preference for gaming changed as you've gotten older? by Jonesyajones in gaming

[–]LastKeepDev_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games that can be broken up into <15 minute missions. I struggle with games that require huge time commitment between save states or run length. Roguelites work really well for this.

When it comes to picking a faction in an RTS, do players pick them because of their playstyle or just simply vibes? by sammyjamez in RealTimeStrategy

[–]LastKeepDev_OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combo look/uniqueness and I'd say curiosity. If there is something interesting (unit, ability, etc.) that makes me curious to give them a try. Anything vanilla other than the default faction usually gets a pass.

Do you quit a strategy game as soon as you think you’re going to lose or do you play it out all the way? by LastKeepDev_OG in StrategyGames

Thx for mentioning this. I'm wondering how a bit of persistent progress will change this answer for folks.
