You should instead always be trying something new and seeking new challenges, it will not only help you broaden your skills, you will also benefit from the neurological adaptation that comes from being new at something and figuring it out for the first time. Focusing too much on only one game or one genre will rob your brain of its ability to adapt.
Modern life already demands too much over-specialization from you, don't bring more of it to your hobbies.

What about path of exile?
You can put 1,000 hours into that game and still be learning new things about it all the time. OP in shambles
specify competitive games next time
You've probably jacked off for more hours who the frick cares moron
actually got me thinking.
It usually takes me from 10 to 15 mins to come while jacking off.
Usually do it at least once a day, up to 10 in free days and up to 20 when I was in highschool
That would mean I wasted 3h per day for 3 years so 46 days straight of fapping just in highschool.
I could have finished so many games in that time.
how do you guys jack off so much? 20 times a day when you were in highschool?? god that sounds like such a waste of time
Hey at least you finished something
I can't afford to play so many games.No I can't and won't help being poor. No I won't frick off. And yes I will keep calling you a homosexual. Kys
Holy shit... You just outdid OP at being a massive homosexual. Impressive!
Do you put effort into it or it just come naturally to you?
120 hours is not enough to even learn a character in a fighting game, much less play it online
I guess it's good thing that most games are 10-20 hours long.
I'd rather just cut Ganker hours
Over a million games exist. Even if I wanted to play them all I never could. There are more bad games than good games. If I find something I like then I will play it for thousands of hours. There is nothing anyone can do to change my behavior.
Mad respect bro, never let homosexuals like OP tell you what you can and can't do
Something that's interesting about the medium of video games right now is that it's totally possible for you to be at least vaguely familiar with maybe 1% of the corpus. That doesn't sound like much but it would be totally unthinkable to be familiar with that proportion of any other creative medium.
I play games in other languages that I don't understand as well as English.
I don't want to be challenged
I dont want any new skills
I'm here to have fun
I play games that I enjoy
I want entertainment not challenges
120 hours is nothing zoomer
Okay whatever, loser.
I'll be playing Bethesda games because no other game compares
>Okay whatever, loser.
>I'll be playing Bethesda games because no other game compares
meds, now
elden ring has different bosses and different playstyles. trying to parry morgott is very different than just r1 spam. trying to parry and r1 spam in between is very different. so is doing all that and adding on R2s, WA, jumps, there is so much room for improvement on your playstyle that you can be constantly learning and struggling even after 100s of hours.
I disagree. I think having a few bread-and-butter games you can fall back on that you have thousands of hours in can be comfortable and relaxing. It can improve your mental health the same way trying new and unique challenges can.
Correct. I always feel better playing different stuff of limited length rather than returning to the same 3 endless games I have 1k+ hours on Steam each. Will I actually stop playing them? Unlikely.
If you dont have atleast 100 hours in a game you didnt played it
why does starting new games feel like a chore sometimes?
It's a sign that your brain is losing its malleability. People always talk about the loss of neurological plasticity in terms of the brain no longer being able to learn new things, but the inability to rewire your reward system and *enjoy* new things is also a symptom.
It's a self-reinforcing cycle: your brain is losing its ability to adapt, which means you're losing the ability to get outside of your comfort zone, which means you no longer encounter challenges that could counteract the trend.
so starting new games will literally save my brain?
learning new skills of any kind will, gaming is just a very convenient way of doing that because it's fun, it has a wide range of options, and you can do it from home
ill stop playing when it stops being fun
nah frick off
are you from south america? or a britbong?
British
I've put thousands of bongs into other FM games as well but they were pirated
Every minute was worth it
Proof that br*tish people aren't human
It took me 120 hours to git gud at MSFS though.
I WILL play my thirtieth Karl Franz campaign in Warhammer, and it WILL be exactly the same as the other 29, and I WILL enjoy it more than any other game this year.
Nintendo 8 bit games will always be superior to the 10000h with no replay value shit we get today.
>Are you enjoying your video game, which you bought and had fun playing?
>WELL FRICK YOU
>BUY MORE MINION
>YOU HAVE NO WORTH UNLESS YOU PURCHASE MORE SLAVE
Here's a hint: No game is worth putting any time into. They're games. They're entertainment. They're enjoyable distractions. There is no value gained from playing video games. So being elitist about how much time you've put into a particular game is especially moronic.
gaming has proven cognitive benefits but you do whatever
buy...more?
what is this "buy" you speak of?
>There is no value gained from playing video games
I feel like my life is more enriched when I play a fantastic game but maybe im gay
Putting in 1000+ hours into a single shmup to slightly beat your own high score every now and then is pure kino.
You won't just lose the ability to change, the plasticity remains, and the more you engage in demanding mental activities, the easier it will become for you to adapt further.
The issue is that we live in a very limited world in all fields and you basically wind up being capable of learning new skills quicker and quicker and the magic of learning anything at all is lost because even new challenges become, in essence, less new.
I don't disagree with you, but by the time you're 30, fiction in general, whether games or film or novels, all of it will cease to be challenging enough to you for it to truly count.
Comes down to do less, better, and you gotta decide what matters most to you as an individual regardless.
What about 10000 hours?
new things gets old after a while
>No game is worth putting 120+ hours on
Wrong. You just have to find a game you love.
But bro, 5 hours indie games are the future! They're so innovative!
Oh those 1000+ vampire survivor and slay the spire clone? No those don't count.
are roguelikes going to be replaced by vampire surivvor clones and deck building games?
Autism: the thread
skill issue
I have fun playing game.
I want to keep playing game.
God damn, Ganker is moronic to not even get that
>You should instead always be trying something new and seeking new challenges
i'm a white male I can't get promoted because of my skin color so I will use my free time doing what I want
I built my first PC just to play this at a good framerate and dont regret it at all
The only games I have put 120+ hours in are those that I haven’t mastered or have different builds.
I can’t see myself playing MGR for 120+ hours, but I can easily play TF2 for more than that especially if the enemies are 1000+ hours gays.
All of my neurological adaptations to videogames are useless, and will leave me in 60 or so years when I die, along with every other material concern.
Don't be pathetic and pedantic about what you or others do in life as if you're some great work that will never degrade. You are but dust, and to dust you will return.
I play Rimworld when I dont have anything else to play and would rather watch, listen or read something else as I build a colony
Didn't read your post just the title.
Came to call OP a dumb gay and that's it.
You're a dumb gay, OP.
Baba is You? Rain World?
230 hours and It was worth every second
If you have 120+ hours in these you-
-are based
>TF2
>Autism simulators ala Factorio
>Fighting games
>Non-AAA singleplayer games
-should have a nice day
>Tarkov
>any MMORPG
>Path of Exile
>Destiny
>any Battle Royale
>any MOBA
any others?
Is Elden Ring an AAA game?
Mostly
Apparently I am both based and should kill myself.
many such cases
I agree
That's why I will always rate Persona games 4/10.
Time isn't real man
>telling others what to do
american thread
still won't stop me from playing ultrakil bro
>No game is worth putting 120+ hours on
didnt even read your post
you just outed yourself as a casualgay
Read the banner eleccel.
no tourney win?
>No game is worth putting 120+ hours on
neither was your mom
Kys homosexual, if you put hundred of hours into a game is just a sign of a fun and enjoyable experience and got my money's worth
Some people prefer to do one thing well rather than a hundred things poorly. A lot of my friends are like you. I jump from one game to the next with them, never spending enough time on any one to fully appreciate the game. I prefer to be good at one thing rather than be bad at a hundred things, in life and in video games.
I just jump between games to find the right one that I would replay later on.
It also helps identify what type of game I actually enjoy instead of “I enjoy this game because it’s the only thing I can play” mentality. I.E Skyrim
You don't think we know that?
It's called addiction.
