It’s the Baldur’s Gate saga for me right now, and I’m still in the BG1 campaign.

It is such a great game to play on the couch with a trackball while chilling with the family.

92% of my playtime is Minecraft, makes sense.

Where my Civ 6 people at?! Wooo!

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

Civ4 is the best Civ.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I saw a stat on Civ VI steam page today that 45 000 people were playing it at that moment. That counts for something!

@tonytins 6 years is old now? :< couldnt care less about the competitive/pvp stuff but im playing x4 foundations most of the time currently and some genres dont get that many new entries anyway, like open world action games like gta5. Thats from 2013 and most other titles like mafia 3 or just cause 4 arent much newer either

While I agree that some of the reasons are because of industry direction and affordability. I do have to mention also that it could also be because of nostalgia, familiarity, simplicity and people still chipping at their library.

I have been playing Galaga regularly since 1981. Still play it at least once a week.

My most played game in my Steam library is Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus which came out in 2013. The newest game in my library is Atelier Sophie DX a rerelease of a 2015 game.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago

True in my case. All of my favorites either were released before 2020 or originally released before 2020 and I'm playing the re-release.

Only new IP I got excited about after 2020 was Project G.G. and I strongly doubt it'll ever see the light at this point.

Either oldish titles or Indies, mainstream game devs are pure malaria
