I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

    The Sims 4, I have 600+ hours on it somehow, don’t even bother asking me how because I also don’t know how that happened. It’s widely regarded as the worst one in the series as it lacks the most content, has unbelievably egregious DLCs and it’s plain out fucking boring compared to older titles. If I had to guess how I’ve played so much I’d guess it’s the CAS (character creator) and building mode which are both fantastic, the game itself is blergh at best, especially without mods.

    Skyrim. The writing is horrible, I can’t remember the name and personalities of more than 5 NPCs, the town’s are microscopic, it can’t handle more than 5 NPCs on screen, all the dungeons are theme park rides with gift shop exits, combat is a horrific sloppy mess, it’s ugly, it has 4 voice actors, it’s a buggy mess despite being released 37 times, the only way to interact with the world is violence, and all of the quests are flaccid boring murderfests.

    I’ve played hundreds of hours.

      Actually the first thing I thought of. Played the fuck out of that game, but kinda always hated it while playing it. Can’t explain why. Was a weird time.

    Call of Duty. And any other game that makes you pay more money (after you’ve already paid for the game) for loot boxes that are basically gambling for kids.

    I can’t stand the state of modern games. They arrive broken, have pay-to-win models, and promote an unhealthy dopamine cycle of gambling and addiction.

    Thomas the Tank Engine on SNES. Me and my mates used to find it hilarious when high. Still do.

    GTA 5 especially GTA online, idk how I used to grind that game constantly just to buy a cool car that I’d stop driving a few days later. It got better “recently” (2-3 years ago) with bigger payouts and single person heists but then the in game inflation fucked everything. I haven’t touched the game in months because all I saw about it was how glitchy it was and how R* were removing shit that had been in the game for 10 years.

    I’m from Thailand. We have a term called เกมหมา (dog game) which means a shitty game that gets you raging. The list varies from person to person but every list so far includes Dota 2 and League of Legends (which I have personally played). Other honorable mentions include:

    • Free Fire
    • Fortnite
    • PUBG
    • Minecraft
    • Roblox
    • FIFA Online
