how much of a g*mer are you? (hexbear.net)

i got 46.

the criteria I used (which i won’t hold anyone else to, use your own criteria) was whether I played it for more than 2 hours (steam’s cutoff for returns, or at least it was as of the last time i returned a steam game). like I’ve technically played tekken and thps, but only when visiting other people’s houses as a kid, so can I really say I played them? at the same time there are games like yakuza 0 where I never got around to beating it because life stuff came up and I lost interest by the time i got free time again, but I put in like 30 hours so should I say I never played it?

10, although there are a couple of these i've been meaning to try.

i'm in a weird spot where i actually want to play video games but i find it hard to be motivated to, and even most of the ones i have played just couldn't keep me interested. the last game i actually got hooked on and enjoyed all the way through was chrono trigger.

same, ever since I started working full time (almost a decade at this point) almost every time I try to play a game, I feel some guilt, like I should be doing something more "productive" like learning a new skill or catching up on work (I'm very behind) or tending to some chore I've been ignoring. the last game I finished was mouthwashing, but that barely counts since it's a 3 hour story game, and the last one before that? I can't even remember X( it really might have been CP 2077 approx 1.5 years ago

[–] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

I only got one, I haven't played anything that wasn't Fire Emblem.I got 24, and I counted everything I had touched, even if for only a few minutes.

77/100

Didn't have a playstation growing up, so most of the titles I'm missing are exclusives that never got ported to pc.

[–] chickentendrils@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

95 I think...

Everything besides "Parasite Eve", Bayonetta, Phantasy Star, Last of Us, Wild Arms

Not a cent was paid for any of it though

This list caters to old people like myself. I don't identify as a g*mer (the last game I played to completion was Mass Effect 3, and that was over 10 years ago) but I've played over half of these franchises.

[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wanna meet a person who scores a 1 and it's Drakengard

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Scored a 53. Geez. That's what I get for almost 35 years of gaming.

I used whether I had spent like an hour with it.

75/100

[–] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

25 using the criteria of Games with at Least 10 hours in it. All my thousands of hours of are in like 4 games Rimworld, Dota, Paradox Map Games, CS:GO/CS2

[–] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

12/100

Never was much of a gamer. But half of the ones I played are fighting games.

And this list is missing side-scrolling Beat'em Ups, like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse and Golden Axe to name a few.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

This list is missing KOF even though KOF has at least 15 games.

[–] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

27, although quite a few I barely played at a friends house or something. I tend to sick to indies nowadays though.

[–] panwizard@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

77/100, I'm a gamer and I am so sorry.

Low score wins btw

My favorite franchises I've spent the most time with aren't even on the list. No love for Mount and Blade or Battle for Middle Earth. I wish RTS games were made more often

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

JFC... Like 95 apparently... Didn't play contra, drakengard, wild arms, smt(not sure what that is), neir...

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

smt

Shin Megami Tensei. A long-running RPG series by Atlus. The precursor to the Persona series. It's like the foundation of the "fight god" style of Japanese RPG.

[–] bananon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

7.5

Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Crash, Tetris, Portal, Sonic, Spyro but only in Skylanders.

Mario, Crash, Tetris and Sonic were only in online flash games back in middle school.

Am I anti-gamer?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

59 if we count everything from "briefly tried and deleted because it's shit", but the list is very skewed towards consoles and action games.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

54, wow lol

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I got 78. Pretty much only missing the fighting games and most JRPGs.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I got 52. This is the consequence of me being one of those "games are better than ever! Just stick to indies^TM^" g*mers before quitting. That and it's missing a lot of arcade games like KOF (15+ games), Metal Slug, Mahvel, Pacman, DDR, and so on.

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

73 here. I've been gaming for a looong time, but there are a lot of these I haven't played. A lot of it was from a lack of PS3 or classics that I just haven't gotten around to.

[–] Taser@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

58, using aforementioned rules for length of gameplay.

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago
  1. That is far too much.
[–] let_me_tank_her@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

56 gamer-gulag

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Like… 84? I kinda lost count but I think it’s right around there. Only like five I haven’t played

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

70, send me to the gulag. Mostly missing JRPGs and fighting games.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

games like yakuza 0 where I never got around to beating it because life stuff came up and I lost interest by the time i got free time again, but I put in like 30 hours so should I say I never played it?

As a Yakuza fan, I'd say if you played 30 hours but didn't beat 0, you definitely gave it a shot but you didn't "play the yakuza series." It's like saying you watched the first couple episodes of the Sopranos and weren't into it.

more than I expected tbh

[–] amy_jmayday@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

53, although I'm not sure whether I should mark games I played once as a kid and didn't understand anything happening on screen.

[–] PaX@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@Gorb@hexbear.net :3

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Mmm got 70, a few here i intend to play but haven't got around to yet. List is rigged cos i play lots of stuff thats not on this list.

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

20 and a I DNF a lot of the single player games.

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

If I count having ever touched a game on this list, no matter for how short or long, it's like 92/100, which is actually somewhat painful to admit lol

[–] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 months ago

41/100.

[–] charly4994@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago
  1. Some stuff I only ever remember playing at a friend's house when I was younger. Somewhat surprised no flavor of Dynasty Warriors wasn't on the list. Half the reason I have an entry in any of this stuff is because emulation was how I was able to play games when I was in college and had no money so I just went wild with some older games.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago
  1. I'm counting Max Payne even though it was the shitty PSP port and I was only testing it for a few minutes on one of my emulators.
