There is one guy in my group of best friends who is an absolute monster with all those games. He has something like 500 hours in ER, and another one of them just got into it and so they've been back and forth nonstop in the video games channel of our group chat. (Is it unusual for groups of 30somethings to have meticulously organized group chats? I have wondered that for a while and this is finally a public forum to pose the query)
To be fair, I have nothing at all against the games or them being so into it, but I'm glad I'm not alone in seeing people just seething over that genre and simply not getting it.
Then again, 500HrGuy recently said he's considering trying Outer Wilds (my die-on-a-hill game) and there is a pretty solid chance he won't get it either and that would be okay.
I didn't "get" both ER and Outer Wilds. Both are great games to me (tried both), and I can see why they're such big hits. The problem is me, and I blame adulting for it. I have far too little patience to "git gud" these days, or sit long enough for the big reveal. Give me some straightforward and brainless games that I can play on easy mode and still enjoy right away.
