what is the most fun you've consistently had playing a video game?

[7empest]

By consistently I mean over the period of at least 6 months



for me, either WoW in Vanilla & TBC

Vanilla raiding the first time and getting into my first raiding guild and be nervous as fuark @ 13 raiding molten core

I was a warlock and my job was to focus on an add. I thought I could CTRL + 1 to quickly focus the add. It didn't, my voidwalker just ran in and suddenly "what the **** bro?!?!" on teamspeak thinking I was trolling while guild leader was doing team talks


or

in league of legends playing a 5s team, fun as hell


I have enjoyed other games but not for as long or an intensely as those.

Honorable mention to PoE

Playing Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Lies of P. Nothing but brutal fights and adventure.

[freeburn]

Many come to mind


But the covid era of warzone was truly something magnificent. As an adult I'll probably never experience a situation like that again or find myself with that much free time for gaming until I retire. Plus it was such guilt free gaming. Not that I feel guilt playing games, but as a dude with alotta chit to do, I could always be doing more instead of gaming.

But back then, there was literally nothing to do but play video games, and if was magical.

did you enjoy Shadow of The Colossus etc?

Yeah...more than a decade ago. It was pretty cool.

[Tshadows]

Cyberpunk 2077. The game is beautiful now with phantom liberty and all the fixes.

DOTA 2 easily. Multi-player so you can play with friends or strangers. Team game, different roles, each character has at least 4 unique abilities along with unique standard attacks. Tons of different objectives on the map and paired with team comps of well over 100 players, there is so much variety to adapt to which keep things very unique and the learning curve high. Strategy and planning is super important as there are much more advanced mechanics than say a shooter where objectives are simpler and most characters use the same guns where battles play out the same way over and over.

Early CoDs, 2,3,4
OG Gears of War
TLoU Factions
PUBG

SoC is great. I personally loved how gritty the world is. Also it felt more empty the more monsters you killed which added to the eerie athmosphere.
Your charachter is def. a big a-hole lol



To answer OP - Fromsoftware games, Warcraft3 campaign and the old GTA trilogy

[BearyManilowe]

SOCOM & SOCOM 2 were years of consistent fun for me. Me and a buddy latched on to those games and we met a really cool group of dudes that allowed for consistent fun for years. We didn't do Gamebattles ourself much but we did a bunch of 2v2/3v3/4v4 clan battles and would consistently wreck dudes that were ranked fairly high on the GB ladder.

Buddy was in the AFG clan for a minute. Said that boosted AFGHAN guy was an absolute ****ing clown and the clan wasn't even that good.

Final Fantasy 11 was magical back in the early and mid 2000s. Nothing else has ever given the same dopamine rush. Pure addiction.

The most fun you've ever had is trolling this forum for over 10 years with your fake depression and conspiracy theories, Loser.

Go play in traffic.

[Sergis]

teaming up with randoms in H1Z1 survival, even met some miscers there. rumor has it the game is coming back in 2026

accidental allnighters in 7 days to die at the ripe age of 35, felt good still being able to do that comfortably

battlefield 1, just chauchatting everyone at any range or playing at quake pace before they nerfed player movement

When are you not reeeing at everyone? Get on some meds.

This is about the games people personally enjoy, somehow you turned that into an opportunity to personally insult someone.

[obmas]

Used to play Monster Hunter on the PS2 for hours online

[SubGamer]

I can't really think of any games I've had consistent fun with in years, gaming now is more of a habit and something that stimulates my brain while listening to podcasts or other media in the background.

Come to think of it the most fun I've had genuinely playing games was when I was a kid at halo 2 lan parties/split screen. You can't beat real life trash talking with friends.

The early days of cod4 and world at war on Xbox live were also great with friends, especially in modern warfare 2 where it forced everyone out of party chat into the in game chat.

These days everything feels sterile, that's the perfect word for it.

There's a good reason for that, it's basically the SBI effect.

I already contributed to the thread. You won't respond to that though, will you? Where's your contribution?

[LogicalLifts]

Everquest, by far.

I was a Quake 3 Arena tournament champion too.

Competitive Starcraft BW - a specific game where some guy in HS was trash talking, and 15 people came over to my place and the same amount of his to watch us play. Protoss v Terran. He *almost* rushed me (P) at first, but I got it back. It was one of those games where even the girls in class were hyped about it and I was an HS hero for a few days, lol.

Or playing games like Bases Loaded (NES) with my brother (slightly older) growing up.

Truth is I've had a blessed life when it comes to quite a few things (not all), and enjoying video games with friends/family is one of them.

[iDiet]

Starcraft and Diablo 2

Only games where I had to force myself to quit cuz it was ruining my life

Every other game I naturally quit cuz I ended up getting bored of em

Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate I back in the late 1990's (ded srs).

[Les Paul]

Street Fighter 2
Mario Kart SNES / N64
Fortnite

[baldbrah]

Early mmos like ultima online and dark age of camelot. Grinding levels and gear with friends then going into big pvp battles with big guilds.

Later stuff like wow didn't have the same feel. It focused too much on the repetitive pve stuff and focused on stupid 5v5 arenas where skill didn't matter, just who grinded the most for the best gear.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Atleast 6 months, that would mean with online/multiplayer stuff or extremely long games.

WoW
WarCraft 3
Baldur's Gate series
Witcher 3
Super Mario 3
Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3
Ultima VIII

[alltrapbrah]

From my childhood wayyyyyyyy too many to count. I think MOST enjoyment was derived from multi-player games, so GoldenEye, Mario Kart, couch co-op stuff.

Streets of Rage 2 I still play now every other month. The game is like crack for me, it's weird.

My first proper foray into online competitive gaming was actually Worms 2. I made efforts to climb the league table. Lots of fun.

Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike probably take the crown for most hours pumped into a video game. I do think this era was maybe peak enjoyment for me.

Most recently, the first Dark Souls rekindled (mind the pun) the joy I felt when playing videogames. Been hooked on FromSoftware games ever since.
