I don't have time for games that long
plays Factorio for the 274th hour
A friend of mine tried to convince me to get Factorio a couple days ago. Couldn't help but feel like he was a junky trying to get me to try just a little bit of heroin.
It's more like crack or meth. You start a gamenin the early evening and suddenly it dawn's outside. I hate myself for loving a game which basically simulates the job of "process optimization"
I always describe it as a puzzle game where all the puzzles are designed by an idiot and that idiot is you.
The spaghetti must grow
As a chef, the spaghetti can fuck off. I want to build lasagna.
Hey if your actual job is process optimization, you get to enjoy it twice as much 🥲
I started playing Satisfactory with a friend a couple weeks ago.
I realized yesterday that it's basically my job if it was fun.
I’ve never played factorio, but I am an industrial engineer and my builds in the minecraft mod create make my wife sad
Do not even come close to Factorio or it will be your Ex Wife. Trust me Bro!
Satisfactory, however, will be 100% totally safe and good for that marriage. Trust me bro!
274? In Germany, we call that ausbaufähig. The factory must grow.
Is that a single save, or your total playtime?
Every time it goes on sale, I think about picking it up, but then I remember...
It takes me long enough to finish 10-hour games I already own...
I highly recommend the game, but I totally get you. I didn't buy it for years for the exact same reason. Eventually it was on a good sale when I was between games so I got a chance to play it. If you're an anime fan you will probably love the game. And if you're not, it may be cringy as fuck on occasion but you'll probably still love the game after getting sucked in. But if you end up never playing it, that's totally fine too. I've found in life that you don't need to watch every movie and play every video that are highly praised. I still haven't played the Mass Effect games even after owning all of them for 5 or so years.

You're absolutely right and I'm glad I reread that sentence: at first I somehow missed the "don't" and was gearing up for a long and pointless rebuttal of what I THOUGHT I just read 😄
142h completionist : LOL
It’s one of those games with a fun grind. With how snappy the UI and everything is, nothing ever really feels like a chore. I played Xenoblade Chronicles recently and I think it took my 50lbs to beat, but those 50lbs felt longer than Persona’s 100+ hours.
I like Xenoblade more personally anyway, but just wanted to share my experience.
Measuring games by weight? Neat.
Not sure if tired or autocorrect, but I’ll leave it as is
"120 hour anime series" is fair, but "occasionally click a button" is not. If P5 qualifies for that, then every turn-based JRPG ever does.
I was gonna say, that sounds like the first 50 hours or so of FFXIII
My wife and I recently started our first playthrough. We're mostly interested in the story and style and I don't want to deal with any bullshit difficulty spikes, so we set it to Safe Mode and are absolutely here for the 120-hour push-button anime experience. So far, it rules.
Game is okay I guess.
looks at all the games I played for over 300 hours
Oh no.
"Wait, it's all visual novels?"
God I wish I could play this game again with a fresh slate and no knowledge of anything again. Story, style, soundtrack, and gameplay all in an endearing package.
This is me and Persona 4.
There's a lot of good game elements. But it's SOOOOO MUCH. It's like a damn visual novel with bits of game.
And I'm sure the payoff is great, since the Persona games are very well received. But after a long day, I don't want to think. I just want to mash buttons until the pain stops.
If you like monster collection games. Check out shin megami tensei. More rpg than graphic novel. Same overall concepts but none of the daily dating sim like aspect.
I feel like the people looking for a JRPG, having been guided to Persona, that wind up hating Persona, were probably looking for one of the mainline SMT games instead!
Make him play Digital Devil Saga if he wants a game
Metal Gear 4 lol
MGS5 did it very well! (That's if you made it passed the long intro)
It's chapter based. So you get 1-2 minutes of introduction, then tossed into the field. Story follows more gameplay like cassette tapes or walkie talkies while you explore, with cutscenes when you hit certain points.
After MGS5, I find it hard to play the older ones with its 10-30 minute cutscenes.
It's funny you praise 5 for that, but as a huge fan of the series I think the best description I read of mg5 was: "it's simultaneously the best stealth action game out there and the worst metal gear game in the series." Lol
I think the open world kinda ruined the pacing of the story and it all felt kind of disjointed in comparison to the linear games. That's coming from someone who LOVES open world games too. Still lots of fun though
Persona 5 is the only game in my life I ever played and made my eyes hirt, it just felt nauseating
looks at 300hr nocturne save
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
