Narrative driven games with a likable cast of characters.

>Jade Empire
>KOTOR1/2
>Mass Effect trilogy
>GTA SA/4/
>Sleeping Dogs

mass effect is about a handsome, strong guy who gets girls with no trouble

it just makes me more depressed

san andreas is good though

I play Crash Bash because I use to play it with my twin brother

I miss him

I'm really sorry, user.

i play simpsons hit n run as i used to play it with my dad before we drifted apart

Pathologic!

Jade Empire, KotOR I and especially 2, and Sleeping Dogs all top-tier suggestions.

>his Mass Effect isn't about a qt redhead fucking a blue space librarian
?

dumb frogposter

Animal Crossing!

don't have a 3ds user

>and especially 2

Apathy is Death

Whatever's colorful.

WoW.

Alcohol.

>Apathy is Death
''Worse than death, because even a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects.''
''My life for yours.''
The voices in this game are top-notch.

hentai games
illusion stuff like AA2

Emulate the original one for the gc!

>his Mass Effect isn't about a qt redhead fucking a blue space librarian
Not him, but that would just remind me that lesbian relationships don't have the bullshit of straight relationships, and that I'd probably be in a much better place if I'd been born a female lesbian. Then I'll get even more depressed.

>But I see now what had happened.
>It is because you were afraid.

>implying vidya helps at all when you're depressed

This.
You should be getting fresh air, lots of sunlight and exercise.

Nah, lesbians can go through the same shit. It's just less likely but because of the female mind, problems from very small events can arise easily, more so when there's two involved.

>Be at work for 4-6 hour mark
>Sudden eagerness to play 1-2 specific video games when i get home
>Last hour of work/commute home become apathetic to video games.

I lift and cardio, but no fresh air or sunlight

Damnit.

>I like STALKER honestly.

Same. It's taught me how to find comfort in misery.

Yeah, but there's none of that bullshit where you have to prove yourself, or where saying or doing one "wrong" thing means they suddenly lose all interest. It just seems like it feels more friendly and relaxed instead of feeling like a job interview.

Depression quest.

You should try to expose yourself to sunlight if you're depressed, I'm not even meming.

I find that when I'm severely depressed, I lose all interest in playing any game. That's when I start taking a sleeping pill every hour until I fall asleep. Sometimes I take so many that it starts to feel like my throat is closing up, which can't be good.

sadly, you're mostly right. Personally, I feel much better dealing with women since guys usually give off the feeling of only wanting sex. Even when they clearly aren't, it still feels like they are.

Taking vitamin D supplements to see if this is true. Not that I expect anyone to give a shit, but I'll tell say something in a month if it's made a difference.

There are no games that are "best" for when you are depressed. If you're depressed that's your problem. There isn't some kind of magic power in a particular game which cures a loss of feeling. If anything, video games won't help because you will not deride joy from them.

Remember, depression isn't sadness, it's a lack of feeling in general. It's why depressed people become chronic masturbaters, indulge wanton sex, become drug addicts, alcoholics and masochists, because they are desperate to FEEL something. Most depression based suicides happen because the person believes that since they feel dead, they might as well actually be dead.

Nice blog post OP. Awaiting 404.

I've been diagnosed depression for past five years
here's some games I've played:
>MP series
>arma 3
>dorf
>DCS
>csgo
>stalker
>pathologic
>void
>GTOS
>r6 siege
>dirtybomb

>Step away from him.
>Step away!
>You will not harm him. You will not harm him, ever again
There were so many good moments in this game
>that really lewd aside Kreia goes on after you recruit Visas

Wow, that's really depressing especially since I know you're mostly right.
I'll be thinking of that when I play a lesbian from now on, thanks user ;_;

>ywn charge up Visas loading ramp

>Personally, I feel much better dealing with women since guys usually give off the feeling of only wanting sex.
But what's wrong with that?

That's another area where I think lesbians, and gays, are better off: You're allowed to just want to have sex. You're allowed to want it a lot. No one's going to call you "creepy" or "thirsty" or anything like that. You can be overt about your sexuality and people not only won't judge you, they'll probably enjoy it and want to have a good time with you. Your sexuality isn't seen as dangerous or suspicious, where you have to first prove you're not some sinister fiend before you can even begin to relax and be open about things.

it's funny because I recently lost my job and been contemplating of playing AMK again

helps me kick the depression and get angry at something other than my failure of an existance
then I remember there are people that are good at this game youtu.be/K63sieKewiE
and I get depressed again

Of course, sometimes lack of feeling is what you want, because the only alternative is intrusive, painful thoughts that you can't stop once they've started. That's how it is for me, anyway.

I cant play anything when I'm depressed, how do you do it?

Nigga u dum

>When you are depressed

So what games do I just normally play?

You're right. I did say personally and I could explain more on how I feel on the subject but I'd rather avoid blog posting and I'm driving. If you're OP, I hope you feel better

>ywn have a Sithfu that devoted to you
>ywn learn the Echani forms by nude wrestling with Handmaiden

Stop giving me boners like this, Kreia

has call of chernobyl been updated ?

There's a beta 1.4 patch on Moddb if that's what you mean.

I've only been depressed once and it sucked so I have no idea user. Good luck though.

I haven't played it since the leak?
what additional mods does it support

Anything that can be played outside.

Sitting inside when I feel depressed is terrible. The sunlight helps.

>Playing games outside

?

(In the addons section of Moddb)
StCoP Weapon pack
Arsenal Overhaul 3
Warfare
And plenty of other stuff.

Same, used to make fun of people who are depressed until it happened to me.

Trails in the Sky FC and SC will keep your brain in another world for 100+ hours at least

sauce

any mods on faction warfare? Last I heard it was incompatible with a weapon mod

user
:(

...

Play Katamari Damarcy.

Heres what i'm currently playing

Killing floor
War thunder
F.E.A.R (Very good for depression imo)
NuDOOM

And try the misery mod for call of Pripyat if you have it.

>I don't know the sauce so I'll post a picture I found posted by another neeckbeard merely hours before just to feel smart about myself

just use google It's better than getting spoonfed

THIS
i will never forget my qt commander Shepard

>tfw few friends to play videogames with
>steam friend threads are ban on sight
>no longer make any new friends and old ones have slowly disappeared

Only thing that's helped my depression.

Play Psychonauts and hang around El Odio stage for a while. That always helps me.

I know I don't have any rfriends , but at least I have you guys.

Jesus dude they're not instant.

That's why I wait an hour.

Diablo 3 on ps4
It's casual, its comfy and it makes you feel better when you see bodies flying in all directions.

>Pathologic!
>When you're depressed
That could either be perfect or the absolute worst thing.

Care to elaborate nigger?

IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED FIGURE OUT WHAT IS DEPRESSING YOU AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

IF THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN YOU AT LEAST TRY AND MAKE IT BETTER NO MATTER HOW FUTILE

playing videogames wont make your problems go away, it never will. may preoccupy you but in the end its better to fix a problem then mask it

Dota 2

Skullgirls
UT2004
Flatout 2

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

TTYD

who?

This so much. Games with strong narrative and fleshed out character are best to forget your real life problems and just live through the game. I would add
>Alan Wake
>TellTale games
>Witcher games
>Dishonored
Or alternatively play shitload of multiplayer games with friends (not necessarily IRL friends, internet buddies are good enough)

haha, is "Moooooooooooot" the new "REEEEEEEEEEEEEE"? Do we like penguins instead of toads now?

SMT is good for this

...

Katawa Shoujo. Read Rin's path.

get a dog and go for a fairly brisk walk until you get a runner's high every day.

that way you also get in shape and have a doggo while feeling better

russian roulette

You should probably read Roadside Picnic if you like STALKER, OP. The book even opens with this quote.

>"Goodness.... You got to make it out
of badness.... Because there isn’t
anything else to make it out of."

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Colourful 50+ hour JRPGs. I like the world and the characters, and the length/monotony helps deaden my brain. Getting up/coming home from work to play weirdly gives me a sense of routine.

I just finished playing Suikoden 1 through 5 but knowing it's gone forever after Tierkreis is a depression all of its own.

Bioshock, TLoU, journey, telltale games, mgs3, brothers a tale of two son

The drinking game.

Forgot to add Limbo

Try recreational drug use.
Alcohol will only make matters worse.
If things really are that bad, you can always OD and be done with it.

play neptunia, or touhou, or shit like that, you get the idea, it makes the time flows and you can have some good laught if you are autistic enough like me
