Have you ever experienced a game where you feel like you are wasting your time but for some reason put up with it?

Have you ever experienced a game where you feel like you are wasting your time but for some reason put up with it?

Every time I replay a Pokémon game

What game aren't you wasting your time in?
Unless you're some high-level eSports fag or a stream whore that actually makes money, you're always wasting time.


That being said I have almost 6,500 hours in Garry's Mod.

Yes, but do ever feel like you are wasting your time while playing?

For a long time, Dota 2. It was basically the game I played when I didn't feel like doing anything else. I finally stopped playing a few months ago, though knowing me I'll probably pick it back up once the patch finally hits.

Life.

Any MMO

I think what you're talking about is the feeling of not being engaged.
I get it often if I play while tired or if I've played a game for several hours

There's always something more productive to do then play video games. It's like watching television or jerking off.

...

most of the time in uni

Fire Emblem Heroes. Just uninstalled it.

I've played LoL for 7 years

Often in Heroes of the Storm when I realize my team is completely retarded and we have no hope of winning, I know my time is being wasted but I keep playing so I don't get put in leaver's queue.

Every time I die in Demon's Souls.

I used to feel this way lot and to the point where I couldn't enjoy playing games anymore. The feeling stopped once I started university and played only after studying or writing some code for proyects.
In short, do something (((productive))) BEFORE you play and the feeling will go away

W E L C O M E

Sounds like every game.

The Hobbit. That game is just not fun, but I refused to let it beat me.

Every TES game.

>rewards system is entirely based on RNG
I put up with it for about two years before I finally said fuck it and quit.

Pretty sure that applies to any f2p game

i feel this when I play an MMO.

Dwarf Fortress

every backlog game

All of them.

Hatching eggs for shinies in Pokemon. I was a NEET back then but I still can't believe I wasted my time doing that.

Rainbow Six Siege. Just got 25k to unlock another Op and I still ask myself why I play this trash everytime I start it up.

dude this

fpbp (fifth post best post)

Fallout 4 with mods

This.

Vikings battle for as hard
Idk why but I deleted it because it was boring and then downloaded it again to finish it
At least I didnt spend money on that because it was
I mean it was like a low cost skyrim even the combat was awful

If you are enjoying it, then it isn't wasting your time
Just like travel to the beach isn't wasting your time

Yeah every single video game

most online games i burn out on then i play and feel like i waste my time but i invested too much to just drop them like overwatch, league, warframe

i learned to just drop them nowadays, school work is raping me and i cant waste much time not even enjoying games

Pretty much any single game with a long loading screen. They waste a lot of time, but I don't mind.

Mass Effect 3
> I saw all the warning signs but still pre-ordered

That one's on me though

E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy
Game is the same shit 3 times to get the real ending and yet I got to that point not even realizing I could've done better things. Atleast 99% waste of time since there's no real reward for "finishing" the game since you get sent back to the start again.
