For me (OP) I used to almost exclusively play TF2, got about 1,500 hours, then almost exclusively played "Bully" (got about 200 hours) then almost exclusively played L4D2, got about 600 hours.

>>354csgo, smite and now rocket league are my 'main' games, mostly because my friends play it, also because its comfortable

>>354The main game I play is Sven Co-op, it's Half-Life 1 but co-op!Lately I've also been playing Daggerfall Unity after not having played any Elder Scrolls games in 5 years. My current character is a stealth-oriented female khajiit.

I wouldn't say so. I usually play one game for a long time until I get burnt out. Then eventually I'll find some other game to play like that. Right now I'm not really playing anything.>>357Sven Co-op is really fun. I enjoy playing it some weekends, but I'll only play with certain people.

I've gone through 2 main games throughout my life, an MMO and a shmup. I like finding the perfect game for me and focusing on it. I'm not a fan of finding new games. Nowadays I only play games from when I was younger. I feel like I already have all the video games I need, I just wish they would be updated to take better advantage of modern hardware.

>>358>I wouldn't say so. I usually play one game for a long time until I get burnt out. Then eventually I'll find some other game to play like that. Right now I'm not really playing anything.That's how I am too. I'll usually cycle through games I've already played before. I'm into strategy games the most. I'll typically play matches against the computer and stack the odds against myself. Once I'm able to do that, I tend to either stop playing the game or try a different game mode.

>>354Doom 2. Mainly I play alot of custom maps/make some custom maps of mine. Pretty much the only flexible game I can think of when it comes to modding some fun stuff in it.My only greivances about it is the community keeps me from interacting with some users for crit62a794iques and advices>>354>>354

>>364Yeah, oldschool Doom can be pretty cool but I hate the communities and related bullshit that's grown up around it. And I make that plural because Doomworld/ZDoom/Doomer Boards and I guess Zandronum are all pretty much separate warring states that occasionally hold a truce over common interests.Try being a Heretic/Hexen fan though. All the fun of Doom communities plus most of the people there hate your game too even though their forums are pretty much the only online venue for it.Better to just download all the WADs and carry them off to a nice hermit hole I suppose.

tetris has pretty much been my main game my entire life.

>>364>>365Doom definitely has tons of replay value with all the content people have made over the decades. I definitely do keep all the fan groups at arm's length. I used to lurk Doomworld a lot and play online occasionally, but that's the closest I've gotten to other people. Doomworld is a complete dump now from what I've heard.>>367Tetris is a game that's never gelled with me. I ended up getting really into Columns though. Nowadays it's one of my favorite pick-up-and-play games.

>>354I come back to FFT every year or so and try my best to make an entirely new party each time.

>>369I feel like I don't have time for RPGs anymore, but that's one I'd like to try eventually. Same for Final Fantasy 6. My experience with the genre is really shallow. I finally beat the SNES version of Final Fantasy IV a few years ago and enjoyed it. I think it's the only RPG I've played enough to grow fond of that isn't Chrono Trigger.

L4D2 and MineCraft are the only games worth playing. Plus maybe a social deduction game.

>>406Yuck.

Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure 2. The chao autism is never ending. There has not been a pet-simulator that has triggered my autism in this way since.

>>433Hey, I was the same about a decade ago. I remember joining forums and everything to learn more about Chao. I eventually stopped but still miss those lil guys.

This is gonna be a passionate rant.

I don't play much anymore with life stuff taking up all my time, but one game I can always hop on and play for hours, especially by myself, is Battlefield 4. It's special in that it's much too old to ever get updated ever again (I love the consistency) and it's new enough that there are still plenty of people that play.

The player base is pretty chill and you only run into a couple try hards every now and then. I've been playing for almost 10 years now and I know for a fact I'll never get tired of it because the gunfights are second to none in regards to other shooters past and present.

The atmosphere and authenticity is insane. The lengths that the developers went to really make you feel like you're in combat zone is captivating. This was one of the last Battlefield games DICE made before they got weird with the political stuff in their games.

The game centers around a war between The United States, China and Russia and when you're in the middle of a gunfight you can hear these languages screaming orders and call outs over the sounds of gunfire and explosives around you. Screen effects and sounds from explosions going off near you or bullets flying inches from your head and landing right next to you sound and look amazing, especially with a good headset. I could go on and on about it, really. It's a very arcadey game and wars between great nations would never be this close and personal, but the atmosphere and immersion feel real and after being killed and the eyesight of your soldier starts to blur while their hearing becomes more and more muffled as their body shuts down after an intense gunfight, sometimes I gotta sit back and just take a breather.

Battlefield 4. No matter how much time passes, no matter how many shooters come and go, I always come back to Battlefield 4. No modern shooter, including other Battlefield games, has that perfect slice of arcadey and authentic that BF4 has and none ever will

I've been playing it for a few years now. Started playing after it's prime but it still gets regular updates and I really like the guild I'm in and the friends I've made. It's getting a graphical upgrade and upgrading to Unreal Engine 5 in the future. Not sure how I feel about it. It will likely bring a lot of new players in but it could impact the artstyle which attracted me in the first place and the new influx of players might ruin the community that is there.
Either way I'm going to continue playing everyday for the foreseeable future.

my favorite game was Ring of Red and 4chan /v/ ruined it for me ! :[
