What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play? (lemmy.world)

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Fucking Ark. I have a major love-hate relationship with that game.
This review visualizes it well.

Is that screenshot from this year? ARK came out 2015, so if this person had 2 years of playtime in 2020, then they basically spent 40% of their time every day playing this game. That's 9.6 hours every day!

Or they left it on while they were doing other things.

[–] dolle@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

I hope so! Otherwise that statistic makes me a bit sad. I mean, I love playing games, but spending basically all your free time on a single game for 5 years straight?

Yeah that post was what I thought of when I asked this question. I don't have THAT many hours in Eve, but oh boy did I waste so much time in eve.

I was bitten by the eve bug. I played early on, and then it got to a point where there was too much new content, that it became so much of a chore to bother with. Fwiw I stopped playing around the time when you could interact with planets, however long that was.

every time I see this I think someone must care about this person and is missing the red flags about their crippling addiction

I love ARK so much, it is an amazing game when you customise your own server and play with friends only.

Just ... don't join any public server where the admin is a 17 yo who makes up weird rules like every woman has to join his harem or no one is allowed to ride a bigger dino than his. ( ´ ▽ ` )

Just bought it lol

Just in case you're out of the loop and it's relevant to you: they're remaking Ark in Unreal 5 and going to be shutting down official servers for "old" ark within the next few months. And then it looks like you might have to pay for everything all over again. At the very least the base game already seems to have a set price.
