I'm also quitting | Forums

I would say it was fun while it lasted. Maybe the first couple weeks. I gave the game more chance than it deserves and hoping update 5 would help. I might play again after a year or so like the first one. But honestly I'm angry enough having paid $120 on this AND hundreds of hours just to get stuck wearing the same gear for over a month because nothing better drops while I get stomped by players with more luck.

Let me correct myself. I'll play pve if I can't sleep.

Sooo Fun lasted for first couple of weeks and after that you were forcing yourself to play or what? Or you waited for a couple of months to write this comment?

I haven't been playing since the raid came out and I can safely say it was the best way to avoid frustration and finally move to something else more entertaining.

One of the smart ones. If you don't like doing something.... stop doing it, eh? Life is far too short to pursue a form of entertainment you don't find entertaining. Move onto something else instead. Beats whinging about it on a forum read by a bunch of strangers.

The problem is the time.

If people weren't so impatient and if they weren't running through the game like a Mach 3 jet but were taking things a little slower, it wouldn't be boring either.]


But if you run through the game with all your might and reach the final result after a week, it's your own fault if it gets boring afterwards.

You have to give this game and yourself time, otherwise it's no fun.

It's that simple.

Yeah, I just don't get the guys that binge-play through the game then the new content then sit back and complain about nothing new to do. It is about pacing.

Edit: Unless you have friends here whoever the op is?? lol, No one really gives a shizzle if you are going on holiday!... hope it's all sunshine at the destination

Amen! On both counts.

There nothing left to be one of the first at.

That much is certainly true, and always will be in my case because of my pacing. But I've been playing since release and the game menu tells me I have done just over half of the side missions so in my case still haven't run out of things new to me.

The problem is players will start playing this game and then they'll blow up 1000s of hours and expect the game to change and throw something new at them.

Yeah, ^ that. I'll bet most folks hit "the wall" at about the same number of game-hours. The difference is some people rack those hours up in a few weeks or a couple of months while others take several months, if not a full year.

On a side note, my observation is that the binge-playing-through-new-content gamers and hardcore gamers (aka addicts) think of themselves as "the player base." I think they have that completely wrong and the "filthy casuals" represent a much larger percentage of the player base than they imagine.

Almost everything is fun in moderation.

Amen.

I think I have heard that video game addiction has actually become a medical condition now. You're right in what you have said and I believe that 9/10 people will not admit to an addiction anyway and some people don't even realise they have an addiction.

You're right, but get this, it's called "Gaming Disorder". It's not labeled as an addiction because of how overly emotional gamers are and because of the precedent it would set.

If the psychological community (which needs a freggin lobotomy imo) were to label it as an addiction, then guess what else would come under fire? Youtube addiction, social media addiction, etc. We already know people are addicted to those things, but the last thing the corporate oligarchy wants, is to have those things covered under insurance.

On one hand, we in the psychological community promote safe spaces, antidepressants unproven to work for the masses, and being emotionally abused by a cop because you were speeding, but yet, when it comes treatment, our recommendations are pandering. That's it. The flag offends you? You're justified, Murcia bad. Some dude has jock itch and is manspreading? How dare he. You want to identify as a tree? You are strong and courageous like a branch bending in the wind. Too lazy to write that paper in college because you put it off til finals week? There, there...we'll pass you with a D. Dodgeball promotes violence, and nurture trumps all nature, despite the scientific evidence. Anyways, I digress.

Elkyri nothing wrong at all with taking the time time to enjoy content instead of getting to tier 5 as soon as possible like many others have done. I took hella time & refused to advance to Tier 1 until every mission, side missions were completed and turned the entire map except last stronghold, then I advanced.

Adding to that hadnt watched any videos on how to do anything unless I was completely stuck. I still haven’t watched a single build video. Why people watch videos before playing them first I’ll never understand. You strip yourself of the experience, all surprises & the feeling of achievement.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the amount of delusional entitlement it takes to bring a person to a forum to announce they are quitting. That is Trump level ego. No one cares. No one ever will. Even your friends who play don't care. Jesus doesn't care. That grumpy cat doesn't care. Gordon Ramsay doesn't care. Godzilla doesn't care. That lizard from the Geico commercials doesn't care. Yosemity Sam doesn't care. Billy Idol doesn't care. Quinten Tarentino doesn't care. Pete Rose doesn't care. Chef Boy Rd doesn't care.

No.
One.
Cares.

Not sure anyone cares about your comment either lol

Billy Idol doesn't care.

Woah, woah, WOAH. Have you READ the lyrics to Mony Mony?

It's spelled chef boyardee.

Maybe they don't care, but you do. Or else you wouldn't have spent time to post this.

Check and mate.

I pushed through what I could. Waiting for title updates brought hope for improvement. I was hoping with update 5 things would be better but they aren't. Crafting is really only beneficial for weapons and mods, the gear still is subject to too much rng. Honestly, the only thing I wanted to do is try the raid. I put a very respectable set together actually. Almost 300k armor, around 80k health, 110% damage to elites. At the range I'm close to 1.2 million dps with a p416 and I can drop 5 named targets with 1 m60 100 round drum and all that with no headshots. I've got patience on the pads and berserk on the chest (I think so anyway, can't remember on that one). Just to test it out I tried it in the occupied dark zone and cleared a landmark with it. The tusk melted like butter in the summer sun of Phoenix Arizona.

I like Chef Boy Rd. It sounds like Willy Wonka.
