Paragon was the best time I've experienced in a long time!
I'm in my 30s now and have limited free time, so I only play games I really enjoy. Over the past few years, I've tried many different titles, mostly just a couple of hours each session before getting bored. I was really excited about Battlefield 1 but lost interest after a couple of weeks. In the last three years, I've played three games I liked (Doom, 7 Days to Die, Toxxik). Just two weeks ago I started playing Paragon and I'm having so much fun! I often think about it at work and look forward to 8pm when my kids are asleep and I can finally play. Anyone else feel this way?
It's a fresh experience since I haven't played it yet, but I'm curious about what sets it apart. What specifically draws you in and makes it stand out?
It offers a distinctive twist on the MOBA format. You engage in gameplay similar to a 3rd person shooter, earning experience points to advance levels, purchasing consumables as "cards" rather than traditional items like in DOTA 2, and enjoying breathtaking visuals. The character designs are exceptionally impressive. At times I linger in the hero view, mesmerized by their appearance. The gameplay is swift, straightforward to grasp yet challenging to perfect, and highly engaging.
It seems like that comment might come across as too casual. Everyone has their own interests, and it’s okay to plan time for activities you enjoy. If someone said something more blunt, I’d understand. But he’s not being dismissive—he just wants to focus on his own hobbies. I’m open to trying new games, always.
Hey, maybe! I’m not fixating too much, but I’m enjoying things a lot more than usual.
I completely understand but in the same message he mentions reflecting on things throughout the day. He explains waiting until his kids are asleep before playing, which means it’s not an issue. Not everyone leads such an exciting life, and it’s disappointing to see someone enjoying themselves after a long workday. It’s frustrating when others tell him he’s addicted and need to step back. Everyone has their own challenges, if it isn’t a problem then it’s fine. No two situations are the same. (Just a quick note, I’m not trying to debate—it’s just something personal for me. Every time I dive into something my partner mentions as ‘addiction,’ it feels like a soft spot, hehe.)
He hadn't mentioned how he constantly thought about it at work, so I wouldn't have spoken up myself. What you're describing is a habit, and truthfully, everyone should have at least one. The problem here is that people dealing with addiction often don't see it as an issue until it becomes harmful. Ask anyone who's faced alcoholism—most will admit they wish they'd recognized it earlier. If he's making it up, that's fine. I know some individuals get overly enthusiastic and use the right words to exaggerate.
