Just a little curious, Mr.Suit and Tyler, have you ever thought of needing to repent for the things you did in these games, and how you felt when doing them? Have you ever felt that what you were doing in these games was so bad that you needed to actively seek God again to atone? I ask because sometimes I wrestle with this kind of stuff as well.

pretty great video hope u get more subs man

So Plato had this interesting idea around education. He had this idea that some people were just born to rule, Philosopher-Kings, and we should spend a huge amount of time and energy educating these people to make the best possible decisions. One thing he said was in terms of pretend-play, or even dramatic performances--he would encourage this for these kids, but he said it was absolutely VITAL that they never, ever, pretended to be a bad person. He said that even the touch of empathy with villainy, or an attempt to see the world through that perspective, would taint their ability to make decisions forever. They needed to be absolutely pure, even in their imaginations. I think about that a lot sometimes when I think about how we recreate--it seems silly, and almost dangerously myopic for kids to be raised with JUST ONE VIEWPOINT NO OTHERS, but I also wonder if there's a bit of truth to it.

I think its fine to finish such games as long as you understand its only a video game. just because you slaughter a town in fallout doesn't make you a murderer.

Great video hope this blows up

Fantastic video love to see more ❤❤

YOU HAD SEX OUT OF WEDLOCK!?!?!

Playing games when you have a full time job, wife, and 2 kids in a nutshell. I do love a good, concise game. But man, if I don't miss being in college, skipping classes so I could experience the full immersive lifetime of a hundred+ hour game to the fullest

Really great analysis

Ill say something that may annoy you. Im a game developer, I released a game, i gave my life for studying until id start weeping of being tired in pursuit of not creating game but being better at art. Ive been since then in this search of beauty, of doing something artistic that is bigger than i am and even tho im working in the industry and i devoted my life to make what people consume, I don’t get why many have this obsession and see gaming , not creating games, as this profound endeavor when you are just experiencing entertainment and art. Many games have a profound impact in out lives, with stories and settings that truly touch us in a different way but those are very, very rare games and although consuming them is a uniquely touching experience, why being obsessed on the consumption without a way to turn it into something meaningful. Spending all day gaming, exploring everything that a game offers , for what end ? You barely change compared to true search of meaning and self improvement through real experiences, education, work, building relationships. Why the need to explore something that will be just entertainment sometimes? Why wasting your time going over dozens of games that will be a note on your mind, having only the value of entertainment when truly amazing experiences are so rare and fulfilling when you actually have them ? Sincerely, as someone who would describe myself with aspects of being an artist, I don’t get it, I didn’t become a professional and made my life goal to be an artist because i played all day. I played one or two games that had a deep impact on me and after learning how they were done, the game itself became meaningless cause id only see people’s effort on very specific fields bringing true dedication that became a final product. I got inspired by the people doing and their deeply love for creating, not for a final product that reflected their job. I know artists, i know directors, developers, i read and have a love for them sharing, not a game, people.

Great now I gotta rewatch Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

That's why instead of rushing I just have an endless backlog. You can always hop back into a world when you never complete a game. 😎

i started Botw in 2022, im not even half way through... im the type of person who plays loads of different games at a time, finishing any game takes me months if not years.

I love games so much i hate all of them

Why tf did this slap

It's funny how every single major problem regarding the videogame industry just boils down to how capitalism works

I’ve reached the point where I’ve only bought 1 game this entire year, Astro Bot. I’ve been enjoying short games because I just can’t get through long ones with my crazy college schedule.

I only play linear singleplayer and handheld games only. As a kid I also wanted the whole world but as an adult I don't have the time anymore and yet I play more games than ever before. I got into Street Fighter Alpha 3 a month ago and learned 2 characters (Ken and Cody) and it's sooo much fun because a fight can only last maximum 90 seconds. Playing PS1 games like Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Silent Hill, Croc and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on my Anbernic RG35XX-H (wich is a pocketable Emulation Handheld) was a revelation. It's never late to play games. Modern gaming is not full filling for me and I know it's hard sometimes but playing old and linear games changed my perspective on videogames.

you can play totk or even botw without exploration, you know? just go to every cities

This video made me interested in football for the first time in my life, and I mean that as a huge compliment.

need to double triple like this video

If it helps. It seems like we play a lot of different games but it's just an illusion. We always do the same things with different textures. Maybe the only different game is Zelda breath of the wild because of how you can solve the puzzles differently. For the rest it's the same game for 30 years lol so if you want to stop for a month you can be aware that you are not missing anything new

I subscribed to your channel, because not only do you deserve all the help you can get, and a reality where you can achieve what you're talking about in this video... But also because I understand clearly what you're talking about here, and I can highly relate, man. We're all just trying to make it on this platform on this website... On KZbin. And yeah. You deserve all the help you can get. That's exactly why I'm making any video I can, to help to stand out.

Short but bittersweet.

I just play games i want even as backlog builds up. Sometimes, i play a game for 30 minutes or 3 hours and switch to another game. Playing onr game continuously is boring to me now just like i wouldnt want to eat the same meal 3 times a day 7 days a week. Need variety!

Keeping up with my studies, having a full time job and having bills to pay really puts a stress on trying to experience these digital worlds. Making the time also puts a strain on my study and/or sleep schedule. However, I've been replaying GTA IV after a few years of stepping back from it to focus on life and some other random games and I have to say it's like falling in love all over again.

mafia 2 was the game that made me enjoy games again. in its simple and honest story, it kept me there. you dont have much money or firepower. the map is small and it really feels like you can experience everything organicaly, theres no pressure for it. you are ok.

I left them. I left anime also. And the truly beautiful thing is that i left them not because i had a girlfriend or a job, or something else to do. I left them because i played enough games to see that it is a trap and there is no lasting joy in there. Im looking for true happines, not just chemical excitement. The Hero's journey, just that this time in real life. See ya in Heaven.

I realized this when I was playing ff16, I was forcing myself to finish it and I was so bored I just said no I'm done didn't even finish it

Don't you wish you could just freeze time at any moment and get all the gaming you want out of your system? Unfortunately, that's not a thing (though it should be!). The best we can do is enjoy the few hours we get each day (or sometimes week) enjoying the games that we love or discovering new ones. I know you want to play ALL THE GAMES. So do I! But even with all the free time in the world, that's not possible. There are so many games out there, and even more in development. So I encourage you to take your time in these game worlds, and enjoy them to the fullest. We can't play all the games, but we can at least make positive memories of the ones we do end up playing. :) Lately I've been playing the first Final Fantasy for the NES. I've played it once or twice years ago, but never got too far. I'm determined to beat it this time!

Oh great, another guy whining about how he can't properly engage with a completely optional hobby. How can you complain that you don't have time, when you're spending hours and hours on experiences you espouse to not getting anything out of? Either find an enjoyable way of interfacing with the medium or just drop the hobby altogether. There isn't a point to engaging with something that's solely for entertainment if it doesn't entertain you.

What a thought provoker outta nowhere, idk why but this made me reflect on my gaming experiences in the 2020's vs as a kid. I still want to put many hours into games but back in the day when I woke up on a Saturday morning playing for 10 hours would feel like 100 hours of progress with a whole bunch of good experiences, now when I play for 10 hours it feels like I've made 0 progress and I also feel like I've been working a dead end job grinding but without any pay, far too many games these days just bloat their games up as much as possible without quality content and I know big games aren't the problem because the Witcher III felt fresh every time I played it, well... except my lame personal quest of discovering all the ? in Skellige *shudder*This was incredibly well made. I assumed you had like 50k+ subs. Gaming is still great, but I tend to buy indie now instead of triple A, triple A defo feels like its lost its way in the last decade with the odd Red Red Redemption II here and an Elden Ring there.

I totally get this feeling. On the flip side, if you dedicate your fleeting free time to a single digital world, you’ll love the immersion but it will take so long to complete the game that everyone will have almost forgotten about it and there are so few people to talk about it with. Plus you will have missed out on so many other new games 😢

this shit so awesome i subbed❤‍🔥

This is so nichely my type of video lmao

gamers are too impatient

Y'all need to accept our lord and savior, Indie Games, into your lives.

I totally relate to your struggles. As a 45 year old with full time job (often 60 plus hours a week) and family responsibilities it takes me forever to complete most modern games two to four months or more for a single must play title. Ive been working on Baulders Gate 3 for the last two and a half months now. Thank the Gods you can save pretty much anytime and anywhere. Ill inch my way forward until i finish eventually. I just hate trying to avoid all the spoilers for a game until i can finally get to the end myself. 😆

A game I got recently that is perfect for people in this situation is Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed. I played yesterday for 4 hours before work and felt like I had seen everything the game could have to offer because they throw so much cool stuff at you, but you can easily see that theres still a lot more to do. 5 different small open worlds all based in different countries, and I have only seen 1 but it still gave me more as the player than so many games have been lately. It truly is a game that values your time and experience as a player. Note: If you want to get into it, I find the second easiest difficulty a fun way to get a power trip while still being able to die, but dying does not really net any loss so I feel like this is the best gameplay experience you can get.

Man I buy too many games that I don't ever wanna play just because they were on sale. All big name titles I want nothing to do with.

The day I catch myself filling a spreadsheet with the games that i "want" to play and how long it will takes to finish then, I realized that is exactly what I do with my tasks on my job. So I just stopped and now I'm trying to just enjoy the games I have and sticking with them as long as I feel good about

Is this a low key silly slide note?

As a person with severe ADHD I had to take a step back and start completing the games that I bought you get more out of the purchase that you made and it gives you a nice sense of accomplishment not to mention by finishing your backlog other games will come out and then go on sale which will save you more money in the long run 👍

You need to pick games you truly are interested in and find captivating. Then turn off your brain too new gaming news. There's a large pile of new games every year and you can't get to them all. Play what you want, stop caring about getting to the end, stop caring about all the flavor of the month games that come out. Just play what you want.

I dont even have a job yet and I feel what you mean. Even when I have plenty of times to play video games, I just cannot enjoy such "big" games like that anymore. I did try and had some fun with games like BOTW, but it is nothing compared to short and packed games that does not waste any time with gameplay, Ninja Gaiden 2 would be a golden example. I believe Elden Ring is the only "big world" game I enjoyed, but again, it is mostly credited to game wasting no time, and every minute I feel like I am playing a game (except the snowy end game areas maybe)

I often spend hours searching for the perfect game to play, in order to avoid FOMO from accidentally choosing a "not perfect" game... When eventually I end up playing nothing because I can't decide and it's too late so I go to sleep.

You in 4 minutes explain how I'm feeling for the past 2 years

Staying mostly/completely blind is how I find gaming more enjoyable. I didn't spoil most of myself with a lot of the recent games I have been interested in the past couple of years like Monster Hunter World & Iceborne expansion

Clever

As a task oriented person, I always preferred concise games. Yet I still find myself playing these modern 100+ hours games.
