Same here, feel like half of the time I was debugging the game or rescuing peoples stuff from bugs. I know we all want sandbox dinosaur island but ark ain't it
I remember we needed a mod for the building system because the default one was genuinely broken, among other things.
But are you still playing it?
I am. I switched to Ascended for a while but want to continue my no-engrams* ASE play through. It’s challenging but fun.
Eve?
As an ex-Eve player I could 100% see this being correct
Hadn't played in a long time, thought I'd pop in to see what had changed. Noped the fuck outta that game fast.
No, that's Mark
Ya see, I KNEW there we fucking spais about...
War Thunder
Dota 2?
Starfield
Nobody gonna play Star field fo 12k hours.
Destiny 2
Overwatch?
OW with those kind of hours? Are they a cenobite?
They play OW comp
Dear god
Life, it just keeps getting worse.
Rainbow 6: Siege. In the last 2 days I got berated and called slurs for not playing how one of my teammates wanted me to in two separate matches, played against 2 different people using obvious aimbots/wallhacks, and got dunked on by people who had pixel-perfect knowledge of a map that I never get to play on because everyone bans it.
I still love the game to death but I really cannot stand some of the community. The recent commendation system has helped more positive people be more vocal in the game thankfully.
Counter-Strike 2
35,000 hours is about 1,458 days, or almost 4 years....
I have an mmo addict friend who just leaves the games in menu all day long. He's also always green in discord, but rarely answers.
Dead by daylight
I think it's a very cool game, especially if you play it with friends. Of course, you have to like this type of gameplay where you always have the exact same objective.
However, if you only play solo queue survivor I have to agree with you. Your mates will always fail you and give up on the first hook.
Warframe
It's fun in the beginning, but starts to get very repetitive very fast.
Honestly, once I saw what the play loop was near the end of the tutorial, I nope-d right out of there. For perspective, I was grinding away at asteroid mining for two whole weeks before I stopped playing EvE. To me, that's how transparently "endless grind without any substance" the game came off.
Oh boy, can't wait to check out that new content... Oh patches made my build useless. Guess I'm grinding a new Warframe weapon combo on Helene. Then it's off to the marketplace to get the new mods I need, then I need to grind the currency to level those mods up, and then I burn out and uninstall again.
Warframe is fine if you only play 300 hours a year. You just have to have moderation. I find DRG more boring.
Dead By Daylight.
But God, if I can't stop playing...
Warframe?
Wdym warframe is great
It's a hate/love thing. The worst best f2p.
You can play for free and get every game relevant content and weapon. But you have to grind really hard if you don't want to use a booster.
You can see beautiful vistas and planets and tech palaces and and and. But most other players just rush through the level to get it over with.
There are so many weapons and frames. But there are sooo many weapons and frames.
I have some other gripes. But these are some of the ones I heard often.
any game without an obtainable goal, just like IRL.
That's hoi4 for me, though I still manage to get back to it
Oh god i figured it out
FFXIV

It's so stupid to vote it down after so many hours of entertainment lol. Just because it can't keep your attention forever
I have a game like this. The down vote is from them making the game worse with a patch.
There's this thing called playing a game not for entertainment, there's games that are addictive and games that will have you spend hours just to get a little taste of goodness to keep you going.
I'm happy for you you haven't wanted to enjoy a game that is like this, and that you don't think about leaving criticism where it is due.
I've definitely played my share of games for thousands of hours including MMOs, But just because I'm tired of the game loop and it doesn't interest me anymore I'm not going to leave a bagy review.
I see you chose not to read what I said? Being tired of the game loop is almost never the reason of these "bagy" reviews.
Let me tell you about Clicker Heroes. I've posted a negative review with 1200 hours in game and it took me 200 more to finally get rid of it and uninstall.
I'm so very glad it couldn't hold my attention forever.
