Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they're online only and I almost can't be bothered to go through that. I've beaten it a long time ago.

And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they've made that online-only as well. Like, I know I'm always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can't afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can't do that with online-only games because it's like being gated away from something you bought.

So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.

Similar. I played a lot of Diablo 2 back in the day, but Blizzard got a lot worse as a game publisher during the years they were focused on WoW. I'm not super interested in starting up on Diablo 3 or 4 or even Starcraft 2.

For a different direction on this -- I played Subnautica. It was terrifying. I'm not going to get the expansion or Subnautica 2 when it comes out. shudder

I've bought the Witcher 3 for two different platforms, and I have neither the time or the patience to play it to completion.

Split fiction. It looks solid and my friend and I need more games to play together that isn't competitive pvp, but we both vote with our dollar and refuse to give EA any more money.

Just get it from an alternative source and play it locally. That's more fun anyway and far too few games still have split screen coop.

Anything on PS5. I bought one thinking I'd catch up on whatever I'd missed since the PS1 days. Heard that that mushroom zombie game was good. Never started it. I just sit at the desk and play another round of CS2 deathmatch.

I've been paying for my EvE Online accounts for over 10 years without playing. Just logging in about twice a year, to play skill training online.

Maybe I'll have time to continue playing when I retire ....

Ori and the Blind Forest, and other metroidvania/pseudo-soulslikes with pretty art and stories.

I just don’t have the patience to “git gud” anymore.

Multiplayer games. I tried Counter Strike a few times, but I just can't bring myself to like the tempo. I want to play in my pace.

The Talos Principle 2. The micro stuttering makes it unplayable for me, and it will never get fixed.

[-] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mouse-heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Sims 3, and other management games. Due to a chronic injury, I'm force to mainly play with a controller, and trying to play these games with a controller would be abysmal.

For me, PC Building Simulator 2 due to Epic Games hosting it instead of Steam.

Screw Sweeny's ball-sucking requirements!

I was going to say diablo4 as well. Diablo1 and 2 were some of my favorite games in my youth, but I just don't want to give blizzard any more money. Path of exile 1 and 2 are good for the same itch.

Also any console exclusives. Bloodborne? Would love to play. Not buying a console. New Zelda and Mario? Same.

Hollow Knight. I watched someone on YouTube play it and I just don't want to spend that much time playing that kind of game. I'm someone who grew up playing Mario 64, Mario sunshine, Mario Galaxy and I just recall spending so much time playing those games as a kid. So much time wasted. Cannot bring myself to do that again. I'm pretty stubborn and so I know because I wasted so much time on those Nintendo games that I would pull ridiculous amounts of time on another game like that. Not worth it anymore for me.

Bloodborne

The last console I owned was a PS3, and I don't plan on ever having another. Sony thankfully mostly got with the program and released a bunch of their stuff on PC, but Bloodborne remains a standout.

Lots, as you said too. Blizzard lost its way a while ago, not giving them money.

Neither epic, ubi, ea. F all of them.

On the bright side there's so much games coming out and so much backlog too, I don't miss them.

[-] Botanicals@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Any of the Civilization games. I used to spend 10+ hours on a single session! My ass can't handle more than 1-2 now

A ton of PvP games that I can't play because I'll want to get good which means spending a ton of time then once I'm good I won't want to play anything else. Counter strike, StarCraft.
