Games with great writing are always my favorites. So I like the point & click adventure games likw the new Telltale Games, or Life is Strange (which is my favorite game ever). The "walking simulator" style like Gone Home or Stanley Parable are also favorites.
RPGs are also great. I don't mind Skyrim/Fallout but I prefer the Bioware style games with a stronger narrative and characters. So Dragon Age, Mass Effect and the older ones like Baldur's Gate 2 and Planscape: Torment.
I enjoy FPS games, although I'm not great at them. I play a lot of Overwatch and I'm just terrible. Favorite FPS is probably Spec Ops: The Line which advertises itself as a CoD clone, but is the more harrowing mindfuck of a game.
Various indy games as well, if they've got cool ideas I'm into it. Currently playing Icey which is hilarious.
Annnd my wife loves World of Warcraft so I play that with her and have for a long time, but not too too much.
I don't actually play video games all the time, I've just been playing them for a long time, lol.

That makes a lot of sense, Jerry. So it's characters and story over gameplay every time.
Life is Strange does sound like a brilliant game, from what I've heard from you and others.
OK, but what is it that those FPS games have that inspires you to play them? Do they conform to your ideal of story/character over gameplay? Or is there another reason?
Sorry for being so intrusive though. I'm just trying to learn what it is different people see in the games they like to play, and what fundamentally drives them to play those games

It's cool! There's no story to speak of in any of the multiplayer FPS, it's pure gameplay. I enjoy them because they're a skill you need to learn and improve. Same reason I like raiding in Warcraft. It's a social experience too, so you hang out with people and work as a team to overcome challenges.

@bearinthebigbluehouse: Fair enough. So you like its brutally challenging difficulty, its simplicity, the themes involved, and of course the memes.

Right, I think I get what you're saying. So you like the communication, intrigue/drama, and making the most of your own imagination

OK, I see what you mean. Is there a reason you like horror so much?

Oh ok, that makes sense

@Traubi: Yeah, I've heard that it has a few issues, which hopefully will get worked out. What sort of experiences do you get with VR, anyway?
SW-User
@Kiwi-Dan: it simply puts you in the game you're playing or movie you're watching.
SW-User
@Traubi: Oh I see. That makes sense
SW-User
@anotherclone: Oh right. See, I've always considered games like that to be 'sandbox' rather than outright RPGs, you know? I've always considered RPGs to be more about story and characters than anything else

the HD version Hota has an extra castle and 3 larger screen sizes , for further explanation google it or download it and play it , you'll see
SW-User
@FurryFace: What I meant was, what about the game do you like in terms of gameplay? Ignoring the extra castle and larger screen sizes, what is it that you enjoy about playing the game? What's at the core of your experience?

@Kiwi-Dan: nevermind , too lazy to type all that shit out

@LachrymoseLamer: OK, I see. So you like the freedom of characterisation.
