/feels/ - Advice & Venting

i'm also 19 and a loser who's bored with life. i think finding games you like and just practicing is the only thing you can do. but you're not even supposed to play games to be skillful at it honestly, it's all just mindless entertainment at the end of the day. just enjoy it without thinking of how you suck. i suck as games too but was never really interested in them to begin with. i unironically still play dress up games and papa freezeria

MMO raiding is pretty good at making you get better without actually requiring insane reflexes. I personally like FFXIV.

never let anyone make you feel embarassed of your dress up games, papa's games and purble place

Not sure if youre a PC gamer or console, but if you are playing on PC, blizzard is launching fresh vanilla wow servers on the 21st. Its a great game, pretty much a right of passage for gamers to experience it, and there's no better way to experience it than starting from day 1 with everyone else. Its not a hard game at all, it can actually be very fun and relaxing, and there's a very rewarding feeling of progression in it. Its also really easy to make friends in it. You should look into it!

Starting with Hotline Miami is pretty hardcore, I gotta say. If you like the general idea of it and want an FPS you might like SUPERHOT? It's a pretty short, simple game, equal parts puzzle and fps (which reminds me, have a look at Portal 1&2!). The gimmick of the game is that time only moves when you do, so you have ample time to plan your shots and position yourself.

Overwatch could be something to try as well, there's a lot of variety in required skill between the characters, so there's usually something for everyone, and you can play against/with bots if you want a more laid-back experience.

For some general recommendations with a low barrier of entry: Stardew Valley, Minecraft and the Sims are good. Maybe Subnautica if you're not afraid of the ocean

thank you so much anons, i will check out the recommendations. what i was looking for were games i can practice my aim and reflexes with without being wiped out by legit players and not burden my teammates.

Hotline Miami is a HARD game lmao. You should start with Portal 1 & 2 if you want something shorter, and Skyrim if you want a time sink.

>>118642
I should clarify that Portal is the ideal introduction to fps games. It's very low-stress.

>>118642

I second this. Portal 1 & 2 is designed specifically to be as accessible as possible. If you have no experience with FPS they are your easiest (and most fun) option. That and Stanley Parable.

But really nona, video games are a personal preference. You'll have a try a bunch of games to experience yourself and find which games you like. Best way is to watch others play, see if it excites you, then try it out. Don't worry about building up skill, you'll naturally grow it as you play.
I know many who just switch between games as soon they complete it, then others who stick to a single game. Go wild.

Some cheap, beginner games I suggest are Vampire Survivors, Untitled Goose Game, Sims 3, The Walking Dead games, Portal 1 & 2, and as a bonus, entire Half Life 2 series is currently free to own till 18th on steam. They're the same company behind portal and (arguably) the best FPS made.

You can ask for more recommendation and I'll happily provide you

Have you tried playing Minecraft?

>>118602
Just play easier games like Kirby? Or ones where you don't need reflexes like Animal crossing or RPGs?

>>118652
Why'd you make a post with moids in it? Ew…

>>118602
Moedan

But just go for turn based or easy kiddy games, why not. No need to start yourself on /v/'s shooter hits.

>>118602
I mean… its a GAME? How can you be shit at pushing buttons and joysticks around? If you play multiplayer games you need to stop they are shit

Your problem is playing an multiplayer. They are full of losers who spend 17 hours a day playing leveling up and hoarding items. Then they act like psychopath towards every other user. You need to just play metroid, or zelda or something. Stop playing with other people. Unless you can find women to play with. Then fine.

>>118665
Yeah online games are cancer. Just full of children and man children and they’re all insufferable. If you want to play games with other people then do like some 4 player online game with people you know.

True, the most fun multiplayer I've had recently was Lethal Company, without using a mic and Deep Rock Galactic, while occasionally using a mic. Those games have pretty chill audience and don't have people disappointed at you for being slow and new at the game. Not being a competitive game also helps
