When Gaming Feels Like a Chore (personally)

[@LateNightPies]

btw, saw some comments about this: I am aware of the 1.18 update for minecraft, I mention it at 3:06. It was the trailer for part 1 of the update, but I was referring to the caves part specifically, hopefully it made sense in context. Also when I put botw on screen when I was talking about triple A games, I was using botw as an example of a triple A game, not a game that was boring.

Hi

[@Hectopath2006]

DO YOU LIKE AMONG US

[@veytextrium]

I am annoyed becouse the game I play all the time has a battle pass that you have to grind like 200 hours for. And now there is only like 1 week left

[@_Darko]

@@Hectopath2006 yes

[@heatsdawn7862]

the 1.18 caves update is fantastic! imo better then 1.16, changes generation forever and finding ore and diamonds is a whole lot more fun! you can find some amazing stuff in those 1.18 caves just gonna say that

[@stratecal796]

i agree, in my younger days I had the patience and I sort of liked the grind, now I just stick to 4x games because it's hard to battlepass them, and because the grind feels worth it most of the time.

[@eresoup7229]

Oddly enough when I was younger I couldn’t handle grinding because I was incredibly impatient and now I just stopped playing maplestory which I was grinding repeatedly

[@robertcunningham1695]

I ended up liking fighting games a lot more as I got older. Smaller, dedicated communities built around building skills that can't be faked or augmented. The more I liked my real life, the less inclined I was to spend hours in open world games roleplaying as someone who enjoyed their own company.

[@Amthepope]

@@eresoup7229 I grinded for 10 hours so I m different from you back then I say that in the must weird way I possible I realized

[@Recoil1808]

I agree wholly on battle passes -- but I disagree about mining in Minecraft. It's just so... *Relaxing.* That is to say when your damn cave isn't flooded. Draining is a hassle when you're starting out.

[@wolverdep4739]

When I was little, a good minecraft friend of mine on ps3 always said "if you're not mining without music, you're doing it wrong". That's when I learn to turn down environment volume and turn up the music or play my own playlist. It's definitely relaxing.

[@Dezaxis]

The best way to overcome the chore of grind is to give yourself a large scale in-game project that you cut down into smaller tasks, while listening to some music while grinding.

[@wrenchonabench7331]

I have games on my computer but I got minecraft PE and always like to make my own personal caves with stairs going down to bedrock but its so boring. I can play music on other tabs with my computer tho.

[@Chrischi3TutorialLPs]

One thing i have to say though is that Pokemon is kinda going down a good path here? I mean yeah, some people have complained the XP Share as it is is broken because it gives too much XP, but honestly, when i did a casual playthrough of BDSP, i didn't mind the XP Share, actually, it was just on point. I never felt like i was massively overleveled, but i do remember making it through Victory Road with relative ease, just for the first Elite 4 member to straight up bitchslap me several times. Once i defeated him, the rest of the Elite 4 was easy going. That is, until i reached Cynthia, who wiped me with her Milotic. Yes, her Milotic, i didn't even make it to Garchomp on my first few attempts. And once i did, it, too, bitchslapped me, until i remembered that my Alakazam has a fairy type attack, and even then, i barely survived that duel.

[@0rig1n54]

I feel like skyblock has a lot of good examples of grinding. Skills are really good until you hit 20 on any skill. At that point it becomes mindless grinding. Also unlocking collections are really good sometimes, although not near all the time.

[@origamiorc467]

Yep grinding fishing and foraging caused me to quit (as well as losing over 1b to a glitch) and now I just have like full storm maxed and full maxed necron with a bunch of items and stuff sitting in my inv

[@buntafujiwara7698]

Yeah and then you have to grind so much to get even close to mid/late game with the sharp increase of necron's handles and inflation and edrags etc

[@SalmonShark]

I've been playing skyblock since its release on multiple account on multiple profiles, and I can confidentially say that it does not have a single good example of a worthwhile grind

[@rlvideosgunner]

IMO the game is updated faster than you can progress and there are massive timewalls when grinding for a certain item

[@Spyziy]

@@rlvideosgunner LMAOOOOOO that was a joke right... anyone that has played over a year disagrees so I'm just making sure your being sarcastic.

[@fozzlequack9216]

watching this video just made me remember a great game called 'fight my monster' on the web back around in 2010 that i did not play much because I was too young to fully appreciate it

[@1Trapz]

This actually catches the feeling so well

[@kav1457]

This applies to everyone from many different games, the only reason we grind these things out is for the huge rush of dopamine in the end

[@PinkBread14]

Pokemon fans:Yo this gameplay is fire🔥 The gameplay

[@Flacidpancake]

True

[@LateNightPies]

yes, but I still play it anyways

[@bandannadoo]

in minecraft the armorer, the weaponsmith and the toolsmith all unlock diamond tool trades once they fully level up, so you can essentially get infinite diamond equipment if you just make a protected village and upgrade them all, and it saves a ton of time compared to mining so much.

[@gamerparker123]

Grind is basically just filler for games, it’s fine but only to a certain point. In a perfect world, there would be little to no grind in video games, but if that were the case in this world then most games would be 3-5 hours long.

[@AntiNuke_]

tbh this is honestly so hard for me to watch due to the fact I can't stop thinking about a game I used to play, (It's taken down now, and unplayable.) it had the best grinding mechanic ever, and you had to grind for HOURS upon HOURS to level up once or twice out of the 100 needed levels to get more powerful. This sounds so boring, but the bosses you had to grind out felt different each time you fought them, it was the most fun I think I've ever had gaming at all.

[@willyblondehair8070]

It’s really nice to see someone who actually covers the games I play in (at least some) detail. Also yeah skyblock is kinda pain after early game, thirtyvirus def said it best (along the lines of “early game is the best part of skyblock.” Everything’s new, a ton of stuff you can do, and this is when you keep on upgrading items, skills, etc. mid game is the worst, where all you can do is grind skills and money methods, but late game is decent, cuz hopefully you have the coins to do dumb junk

[@CoolestBulbminFan]

[@fbysebastian7112]

I feel like one thing you forgot to mention was the overall length of games when you're constantly getting more. It's not just the grind, but in linear games like horizon zero dawn or death stranding, trying to finish the games out so you can enjoy other games just makes it hard to deal with because you have so much more to finish. Which is the one reason I've given up on a few games

Hey LNP, about the stripmining comment here is what I do to break the boredom: I establish a main mining outpost with chests and furnaces (maybe even a smelter array with carts and stuff) and then I use the two sides, left and right, for 3x3 tunnels Then I put my actual strip mine tunnels all 3 blocks apart for max efficiency and only go 5 torches in after every tenth block That way you dont actually have to just keep going over and over, can take a break every now and then and it becomes less of a chore

[@levi_octavian]

As an avid F2P genshin player the rng system is for sure screwed over and better for some users than others my best example is having 2 accounts. On my second account I have significantly better luck and items. I pulled two five star characters in a 2 month frame which never would've happened on the old account. Still takes that time to grind and earn but as you stated the rewards are worth it and viable.(IMO) My first account had no luck and I was constantly snubbed with poor items. It is very unfair and when creating an account you just have to hope the system is kind to you. If not it is quite a pain getting nothing for the effort put in. Which is a shame too because the game is beautiful and has a good story/lore.

The only big problem with Terraria in my opinion. For example, I wanted to craft the Terra-spark boots (One of the best movement accessories) but you need to kill a slightly uncommon enemy called the “Fire Imp” which have a 1/50 chance to drop the obsidian rose needed to craft the boots. It took me around 2 hours, even getting the 1/200 drop (A useless vanity) before getting the item and I felt in pain after.
