What video game do you play to forget yourself?

[Sprite_Geist]

Currently: The Elder Scrolls Online. I have completed each faction storyline on a character associated with each of the different factions. Now I am playing on my Ebonheart Pact-aligned Vampire, and re-completing the Daggerfall Covenant questline again.

 

[Wistful]

Splatoon
But not much these days....

 

[SmollMushroom]

I'm just gonna drop Monster Hunter World in here, just because nobody did.
And the Monster Hunter series in general can become really addictive. But I guess it's one of those games you either love or hate.

Depends a lot, but it can be osu. Though it's typically more when I'm tired, but it can still help when angry. Half depending on my warmup

But it can suck you in if it's for you, I ended up with 81day+ playtime, not including offline play. I did have a major obsession though. May update when I remember other games

Based osu enjoyer, it is very easy to enter a flowstate with it. But it can also be very depressing and frustrating. I'm a big fan of tech maps personally.

 

[monk-in-hell]

tetris!

 

[worldsapart]

I've been throwing all of my money at Genshin and Star Rail lately to distract myself haha

I also really like well made point and click games, like Nobodies by Blyts (It's in the App Store, 10/10 would recommend ^^)

If mobile app solitaire counts, then that.

Once played it for 5 hours after downing a whole bottle of methylphenidate. Never been obsessed with a game more.

 

[DaSh]

OSRS

Real. I liked heavy stamina, speed and stream maps, barely played over the year though so naturally decreased. Tech maps are also fun as hell, though got to a point I can mostly play whatever I want sorta. What's your user?

 

[dumblosergirl]

Final Fantasy XIV

 

[phantomime]

Webkinz! I'd say Neopets but there's not a lot to do. You can always keep playing on Webkinz. I love dressing up my pets and playing games trying to beat my highscore and getting cash to buy more stuff for my pet family. The game's graphics are the cutest and it makes me feel happy.

 

[BlockHammer]

I played souls game like sekiro,bloodborne,DS 1 and 3 and elden ring, those game actually makes me feel like i'm acomplishing something with my hard work and makes me forgot about real world for a while

Right now, im playing NFS cause i want to ride a fast car and replaying GTA san andreas to aboid getting more stressed

 

[lunchbox]

Final Fantasy XIV

Waiting for Dawntrail is one of the few reasons I might stick around next year.

 

[Fox99]

Went back to Elden ring recently

Thought the game was hard but my character was just shit hahaha

Rebuilt one based on some tutorials online and it got much easier

 

[SaveForSuit]

Forza Horizon 5. I don't even race, I just mindlessly drive around and admire the pretty graphics

 

[Readytogohome]

Planet Zoo

 

[elliestxttoo]

fortnite or any COD with my friends, i still am suffering but they help just a tad bit.

When you're really angry and frustrated?
I almost finished Divinity Original Sin 2 and i'm in the middle of Dragon Age Origins. I love rpgs and they are my favorite genre but i don't feel playing them when i'm really down and suicidal because i have to invest myself emotionally and be attentive to the story.

I just want something very addictive that i can play mindlessly to numb myself, something like Vampire Survivors, games that feel like drugs.
I used to play a lot of MMOs too i don't think there is anything better for what i'm looking for, but now they're either p2w or suck dick entirely. I can't think of one good MMO that doesn't ask for too much money and is fun.

What are your recommendations?

Cyberpunk has been pretty nice but something more tame I enjoy is terraria

 

[Redacted24]

Lately I've been playing World of Warships because it's well paced, the battle only goes for 15 min, and I don't need to be nimble with the controls. Mobile solitaire is my long go to mind number.

 

[push]

cliche maybe but Minecraft. Building a cute house, setting up a farm, and accumulating an army of pets while listening to the soundtrack is a nice escape for a while

 

[ixkitty]

So my bad days consist of

• Animal crossing - I literally spend the day fishing and catching bugs and selling them for chump change.
• Minecraft- on creative mode for fishing, mining, and needlessly trapping the skeletons in some unorthodox way ensuring they drown in lava or explode at my leisure
• Stardew Valley - farming is easy on the brain and entering the cave for random kills
• Skyrim- I modded the heck out of it because I like picking up everything... everything!
• Horizon (either game) - since I've beaten the main story line I just like to hunt for nothing in particular. Animals or machines it don't matter. And if I just so happen to collect something for a new weapon I craft it for a good brain reward.
• No Man Sky - fly around, explore with no real mission. Scan literally everything. Repeat until you feel like fulfilling a mission. It's mostly the beautiful scenery that fascinates my mind.
• Ni no kuni - running in a Dungeon i know I can beat for a little release of frustrations
• And finally (an oldie but goodie) Any Grand Theft Auto game Modded - give me all the weapons to get the swat team after me and let me loose ! When I do die, it's usually epic death, and I get to start over somewhere else. Or I'll just drive around.. listening to GTA radio. Nothing more.

Elonaplus. After spending 100 hrs on it (more or less), I still dont know shts yet I enjoy learning it little by little. I tend to immersed on it so I think Ill be dead first before finishing the game with how slow my pacing is. Good game tho.

 

[raindrops]

Sea of Thieves ️ embarrassed to say how many hours I've played it for. Although not playing anything now because I'm depressed, idk what to do

 

[PaunPaun]

WoW classic , it turn my brain of everything

 

[Annon100]

Honestly I play the sims 4 or stardew valley if I have any interest in gaming at the time if I don't I scroll social media until I fall asleep

right now I've been really really into fallout new vegas, the gore and gunslinging in it, the story, hookers and casinos! i love it and it kind of takes my mind off everything else

 

[I'mSorry]

I pretty much live in video games. I have beat Super Mario RPG (not the remake, which disappointed me because before I found that's what their intent was I was hoping they were making a newer one) like 20 times and that's WELL low balling it. Same with similar titles like Super Mario World Yoshi's Island, the SNES Legend of Zeldas, and etc. I have played more recent releases, but as someone who grew up poor and is on a fixed income, I really prefer to wait until things come down on sales or are "forgotten" so that I can pick up gems for dirt cheap, lol.

 

[bluepepper246]

I don't really play video games to forget, usually I would watch a show. But sometimes, I may play Civilization VI

 

[dsk]

Chess and Call of Duty

 

[skittkles.s]

I don't really play any games to do such, I guess in a way I could say I've already forgotten.
