I don't think I even remember what "AAA" games I bought last year. Uh... Baldur's Gate III and Train Sim World 5. That's about that.

Thing is, I didn't play much of those either! I have an absolutely gigantic backlog! And in December I got somehow addicted to Skyrim again. It never ends

Best and awesomest and most profound game experience I had last year was Chants of Sennaar, and even that technically came out in 2023.

I don't think those games AAA. Baldur's Gate 3 is in the border between being AA and AAA, but Train Sim World can't have that much of a development cost, no?

[–] umbraroze 2 points 6 hours ago

Well, I suppose they're less "AAA" and more "Games With Actual Noticeable Budget". Simulators aren't exactly mainstream these days, yes.

Your uh... $1000 gaming PC? Isn't that pretty much all it can play? (assuming the game is released today)

[–] bruhduh 2 points 7 hours ago

you can build decent enough pc in a 1000$ on ryzen 7700 and 64gb ram and intel a770 16gb in that budget

Holocure rn for me

I don't like the picture

[–] Stern 12 points 1 day ago (7 children)

everyone reading that probably had one in mind. i bet ill hit 75% of them with the balatro/stardew/terraria combo, though if yours is far more obscure, by all means enlighten me so i can buy it and let it sit in my backlog for years because of my own game addictions.

I've been having a lot of fun with Vagante recently

[–] sulgoth 2 points 13 hours ago

Dead cells, factorio

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Gelatine and I wanna maker are cool obscure games

Celeste is also fun, but less obscure

[–] dukeofdummies 2 points 18 hours ago

I'm always a huge fan of Deep Rock Galactic, Moonring, Rimworld

[–] from_D4rkness 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Noita, Streets of Rogue, and Dwarf Fortress are some of favorite games.

I haven't played it, but Animal Well looks great.

It's not a pixel game, but because it has Sims 1 graphics, I think Project Zomboid should get a special mention.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Also, zomboid used to be a pixel game

Have your heard of our Lord and Savior... balatro?

[–] Stern 2 points 1 day ago

oh you mean the "The wheel of fortune is fucking rigged" simulator? Why yes. Yes I have.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Try 6000$ machine... no joke.

Lol that's almost exactly my specs except I have 46gb ram

I play a lot of dungeon crawl stone soup

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Why play expensive games when you can get addicted to Balatro

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

Sadly, the young'uns can no longer play the 18+ restricted card game that's explicitly got zero gambling in it. They'll have to get addicted to real gambling in EA sports games

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With how much Factorio I've played, I'm down to less than $0.10/hr with the Space Age expansion. I'm nowhere close to done.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I've played like 50 hours of Factorio in 2 weeks, then it started feeling like a job. Not in a sense that it was a chore, but in a sense that I literally do this kind of automation and optimization at my job, and I enjoy the process.

Yep. Hexcells Infinite hasn't overtaxed my RTX 3080 yet. That may have been a slight waste of money.

[–] Zangoose 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me going back to hollow knight, celeste, modded minecraft, and dead cells instead of buying new games

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

I see that you bought expensive hardware just for modded minecraft. That shit's no joke.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (5 children)

this failing isn't on you though. AAA games is not what it used to be, I feel like between 2008 to 2014 game companies have all progressed and transitioned into something they didn't use to be.

my $4k gaming PC at this point is a glorified FFXIV machine although, I do plan to play other things soon.

What’s funny is that a new GPU alone will set ya back that amount already. I’m hopefully picking up the 5080 at launch for 1k

I’m hopefully picking up the 5080 at launch
