What's your secret gaming shame?

Hmmm... but there wasn't anything to do. Why would I return to the game? There didn't seem to be any incentive to play. Like... nothing happened.

Yeah they're pretty stupid. Tap, upgrade stuff, tap some more, rinse repeat. I still love them for some reason.

So really... nothing happens?

No, you just get slightly further each time.

Oh. I see, I think. So little happened that I could not tell that there was anything resembling progress. I could not determine that such a thing existed from the few minutes that I played. I figured that I was missing something big.

I like Minecraft, even though its such a simple game...

But i get quickly bored playing alone...

Yeah you just go up in levels and defeat more monsters, unlock heroes, level them up, etc. Lather rinse repeat.

Zuma. Something easy and brainless to do while on webinars

Yeah I do that too, with tapping games and other mindless games like match 3 games. I've started on You Need a Bigger Boat, which is the sequel to 10,000,000. They're both match 3 games that have RPG elements.

It's the "but there are no enemies" thing that got me. There was no threat to defeat. I couldn't figure out the "why"

Look into Modded Minecraft with the Hardcore Questing mod installed. You can go through a bunch of stuff with it. My server is currently running the Astronomy HQM modpack.

My secret shame? Racing games.

I also dabble in Euro Truck Simulator sometimes... but not as much as I would like.

I love flight simulators!

@coliver I do play modded.

But I still get bored when playing solo...

Well there are boss fights in Tap Titans and Clicker Heroes. But after each boss is just another boss.

I'm actually running a modded server out of my house at the moment that I play on locally.

I had set it up for some buddies then they all went AFK for the summer season ...

Yes... you do... You gotta get to the next boss in Tap Titans & Clicker Heroes.

A big pile of unopened board and card games. I need a table gaming area in the new house.

For some reason, I really like games like "Railroad Tycoon" where you feel like there is some deep strategy because of all the variables that you're trying to figure out to do it best. Of course, in the end, after you've wasted numerous hours playing the scenarios and whatnot, you realize that the AI is obviously not that detailed and it's all just fluff that fooled you into wasting your entire day on it.

scottalanmiller

I'm like that with the Tropico series.

I lasted a whole weekend on that before I got utterly bored.
EDIT: Danielle and I both, that is.

So long...
