Old School Runescape - an amazing game with so much content and depth in the end-game, as well as great experience in early-to-mid-game. However, the game is insanely grindy and it sometimes feels unbearable to actively train a skill for 20 hours straight in order to do a single task, or to go unlucky on a boss and spend 50 hours killing it over and over just to not get what you wanted. It does feel really good when you do finish a difficult grind, though.

Ark Survival Evolved; only game that I say "fuck you and I'll see you tomorrow"

OW2

Shenzen IO

I had some coding experience when I played it, but Oh god, I was not prepared. BUT I LOVE IT SO.

Original Demon's Souls. The missable upgrade materials, and the world tendency system that stopped working the moment the game wasn't being heavily played anymore. I badly want that remake on PC. Here's hoping one day…

no need to elaborate, all those who play/played it know

Apex Legends

Shadow Empire - it's so challenging, it feels amazing when you pull something off, but then at least half of the games are just getting rekt by the AI.

Currently Vintage Story. It's a fantastic game. But there's no easy way to anything in the game. It's all hard mode. Fuck it makes me angry but I still blew my Saturday away playing it.

any valve game, any rockstar game… getting over it

The Sims 4. It's the worst game in the mainline series, but it has the best mods (which are the only thing making it playable) so I put up with it.

It's my username. I'm a diehard fan, but MajorHavoc still kicks my ass around level 6 or 7.

For a while it was Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate because I kept trying to go for 15 rounds in the endless mode to unlock a mode that I find underwhelming for how much effort I put into it.

Now it's just the pokemon fan game Pokemon Keishou because I'm being dumb and doing my best to do a gen 9* only run and am stubborn about trying not to lose.

*my box of members who helped in major battles does have non-gen 9 mons otherwise I'd still be stuck at the beginning of the game with a level 100 starter. Also, starter isn't gen 9 because it's not gen 9 starters. It ain't leaving my team either.

Ark: survival evolved. It's the buggiest, moast bloated piece of unbalanced trash out there. But run your own server with decreased timers and higher gathering rates, plus the occasional mod abuse to circumvent some bugs, it's a great time with friends. Oh and just disable all the alphas. They're dumb. Your T-Rex shouldn't die from a random raptor.

Ark 2 is gonna be a fucking trip and if it isn't a massive buggy mess at release I will buy 3 copies.

Gotta love a game to really hate it.

Every few months I come back to black desert and level some characters just to drop again. I don't like raiding from the more popular games but I also don't like the lack of direct gameplay of the more sandbox ones, so this bizarre sandboxy-themepark scratches a very peculiar itch of mine.
