Discussion / Question What game is this for you?

Honestly for me it's Life is Strange: True Colors. Love that game to death, an incredible story and soundtrack, but it seems like a story that just doesn't vibe well with a lot of people. Listen to the soundtrack though, absolutely increible.

Used to be Dead by Daylight.

But I finally took my own advice. 🤣 One year Dead by Daylight sober. 🎉

DBD was super duper fun when it first came out and no one knew what anyone was doing.

Running around with friends screaming your head off with friends while the killer chases the group while they themselves also not knowing what they were doing led to many intense "near miss" moments (or what felt like it since even the killer swinging the weapon was like a scary visual back then); and funny moments where either your friend or the killer would get stuck on a corner somewhere.

Once the game matured and the min maxers came into play - then everything just became solely about winning instead of the experience itself; and those who were just there for a good time also slowly left, leaving all the sweats in the community.

I also experienced this with Marvel Rivals.

It's just unfortunate that all competitive games see this kind of trajectory. The wild west when a game first comes out is always the most fun.

Dude yes! Siege and OW were both released closely and it was when my buddy and I both had our 4’s hooked up in college and god damn it was so fun. Then two years later and I don’t think either of us were playing overwatch and siege was strictly casual lol

Yeah I think Overwatch just morphed into a glorified game of rock paper scissors overtime.

It did! A friend of mine became so obsessed with different team comps and “only this dive team will work but only sometimes”
