Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
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?
Well, I suppose they're less "AAA" and more "Games With Actual Noticeable Budget". Simulators aren't exactly mainstream these days, yes.
Your uh... $1000 gaming PC? Isn't that pretty much all it can play? (assuming the game is released today)
you can build decent enough pc in a 1000$ on ryzen 7700 and 64gb ram and intel a770 16gb in that budget
Ryzen 7700 and 64 GB of ram is crazy overkill for gaming. Downgrade those and get a used RTX 3080 for around $400 and you'll have a good modern gaming pc
Holocure rn for me
everyone reading that probably had one in mind. i bet ill hit 75% of them with the balatro/stardew/terraria combo, though if yours is far more obscure, by all means enlighten me so i can buy it and let it sit in my backlog for years because of my own game addictions.
I've been having a lot of fun with Vagante recently
Dead cells, factorio
Gelatine and I wanna maker are cool obscure games
Celeste is also fun, but less obscure
Undertale
Noita, Streets of Rogue, and Dwarf Fortress are some of favorite games.
I haven't played it, but Animal Well looks great.
It's not a pixel game, but because it has Sims 1 graphics, I think Project Zomboid should get a special mention.
Also, zomboid used to be a pixel game
I'm always a huge fan of Deep Rock Galactic, Moonring, Rimworld
Me with a:
Ryzen 5 5800x, RTX 4060 TI, and 32GB RAM.
Plays: Factorio and Minecraft 😂
Lol that's almost exactly my specs except I have 46gb ram
I play a lot of dungeon crawl stone soup
Try 6000$ machine... no joke.
Why play expensive games when you can get addicted to Balatro
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
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.
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.
The cure is one of the jokers. Just keep playing Balatro, you're close to finding a way to quit.
I don't like the picture
Me with me $3000 AI laptop.
Copilot shit on Windows Console programs on Linux
Consider this, a 3D indie pixel-art game (Ultrakill)
Atlyss, Pseudoregalia
Me going back to hollow knight, celeste, modded minecraft, and dead cells instead of buying new games
I see that you bought expensive hardware just for modded minecraft. That shit's no joke.
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
Yep. Hexcells Infinite hasn't overtaxed my RTX 3080 yet. That may have been a slight waste of money.
Terraria
Pixelated grass is always greener
Balatro got me like...
Compensate by running an electron app alongside it.
