How to decide on game to play
Recently I've faced difficulties in picking a game to play. It's not because I'm tired of gaming. There are many games across different genres, and I just can't decide what to choose, so I end up watching cat videos instead. It reminds me of when you open your wardrobe and feel stuck between options—you just stay as it is. What do you think about this? How do people usually decide what to play? Do they try multiple games or stick to a few after finishing them?
I prepare myself for a game by watching trailers multiple times before tackling it. The same applies to Metro Last Light. Occasionally I read reviews to get an idea. I really enjoy Mandalore Gaming's critiques and also watched Total Biscuit's content. Sadly, that ended up being it. What helps me most is learning about new games without prior knowledge and wanting to experience them firsthand. That’s how I conquered Titanfall three times. Playing with friends is another fun way to stay engaged with gaming. Rainbow Six Siege offers weekly and daily challenges, so I regularly log in each week to tackle the daily tasks and then dive into longer sessions on the new weekly challenge days (like Tuesday) throughout the week until everything is done.
Occasionally I sense the kind of game and check out clips from popular creators. For instance, strategy games are my favorite, and Quill18 is my go-to.
Yes, definitely.
No, I own many games installed. This allows me to launch them anytime, anywhere, without any delays.
They tend to be mostly unpredictable. If I like a game enough to play it, I usually keep going, as long as it offers something engaging or a challenge. Sometimes the grind is frustrating, but other times it can be rewarding, especially when it leads to in-game rewards like money for upgrading equipment or abilities. That reward aspect is what keeps me engaged.
I also spend considerable time observing various players and their different gaming experiences. This helps me discover new games and decide which ones to try. Certain YouTube channels can spark my interest in a particular title. For instance...
It's called Rage Quit. Essentially, this person plays over 200 games deliberately when they get angry. It’s useful because it introduces me to games I might not have found otherwise, many of which turn out to be excellent. If you pick any game from the list at random, you’re likely to enjoy it. You might even become hooked on the whole series, so proceed with caution.
well i actually try to install games one by one... except when it gets tiring, you know. last year i managed a month where i completed four games. i decided to stop playing total war, a game i've been playing for about 20 years, and I play for around six weeks each year. a perfect gaming week would be two nights of gaming and the rest for other activities like reading or sports.
