Even if I know for certain that I'm going to buy a game (like Pokemon games), I've never pre-ordered before. I just buy it as soon as it's available. Maybe if there was a bonus or benefit to pre-ordering I might do it, but I guess I worry that I'll change my mind? Also, it's pretty rare that I...

Yeah, I'm not sure if I consider hints to be "cheating." I guess some people might think of it that way, but it still feels different. Or sometimes a game might have a mod that makes something easier or more convenient, but you still have to do the work. For example, one of the mods I use in...

I don't remember ever having a 'true' arcade near me, throughout my whole life. When I was a kid the only arcade machines were at this one pizza place, and where I live now I think the closest 'true' arcade is almost an hour away. (What I mean by a 'true' arcade is a standalone arcade, and not...

Sometimes I'll be playing a game & before I realize it, 3-4 hours have gone by without me having moved at all :sweat: I ought to set a timer so I can at least get up and walk around a bit every hour or so. But I don't really do it too many days in a row -- I'll have a week where I'm REALLY into...

I don't like to spend money, so I don't buy games very often. I usually wait till they're on sale. If it's cheap I might buy it without much forethought, but a lot of times I wait to buy a game until I know I'm going to play it immediately. For example, I haven't bought the new Fire Emblem game...

It really depends on the game! In Fire Emblem Awakening I took the time to unlock every single support conversation, even though it was super repetitive to do so. But most games I lose interest before I complete some tasks/achievements. I don't think I'll be able to complete all the achievements...

The only game I ever played with my sister was Sonic 2 for Sega Genesis. She played as Sonic and I played as Tails, and we played for HOURS one day. We still never beat the game, lol, but that was the closest either of us ever got. It was kind of fun working together on the game, but that's the...

I can't say that I'm GOOD at them, but I enjoy playing anyway :tearsofjoy: I guess my favorite would be Civilization, which I've been playing since Civ 2. Since I'm not that great at the game, I don't ever compete against other players, though I do think it would be fun to watch other people...

I never even thought of doing that for a mobile game :screamcat: It seems like a pain to do regularly, especially if you use your phone for regular phone stuff. If you had a separate phone (or tablet) just for gaming, then that would be pretty cool! I always hate waiting for my energy to be...

Has anyone tried playing the game Lisa? I got it for my birthday recently but I haven't tried it out yet. I've heard that it's good but also that it can be really depressing/upsetting to play, so I've been putting it off :sweatsmile: If you've played it, what did you think of it? I know that...

Exactly! "Challenging" is fine, but if it's so difficult that I can't get past something, then it's not fun anymore. There are so many games I've abandoned because I wasn't good enough to play, and that's really...disappointing and not fun :/ It does feel good to beat a game on hard difficulty...

Easy! LOL. At first I just want to get the hang of the game, then after I beat it on the easiest setting I'll try again on the next level of difficulty, and so on. I don't think there's any shame in playing games on easy, because everybody has different goals/preferences for gaming, and...

I don't really seek out new games to buy very often, so for me it's mostly based on what I've heard recently from friends or online. I might browse Steam if there's a sale though. First thing I look at is genre and play style, to see if it's something I'd be interested in at all. I look at...

I can be pretty possessive with my stuff, not just games. It really depends on the item & the person, though. There are a lot of people out there who don't treat material items the same way as I do. I don't get so upset if they accidentally break/damage something, but I've known too many people...

The very first PC game I ever played was Reader Rabbit and Math Rabbit :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy: I played them as a little kid in the late 80s when my family had a PC that only ran DOS. In school I remember playing Oregon Trail and Number Munchers. The first non-educational game I...

I only buy a new computer when my old one dies, which ends up being every 2-3 years. And I always get laptops, so I can't upgrade them as easily as desktop :/ I'd really like to switch to a desktop, so I could get a more powerful computer & be able to upgrade it myself, but I don't really have a...

I haven't played anything for the past week or two, but most recently I've been playing Stardew Valley, and occasionally Civilization IV. I've been kind of in a slump game-wise, and I don't know what to play next :/ My friend got me LISA for my birthday recently (because my name is Lisa lol) but...

I think it'd be kinda cool to have a certain color of controller that you use, kind of as your signature item? It'd be even cooler if it was something you had custom made! But for just regular everyday usage, I'd much rather use the default controllers, cause then they match the console.

That's so cool!! I think it helps that she's been playing games for a long time, cause I think a lot of other older people have a hard time adjusting to newer technologies. But you're right -- a game like Skyrim could be really enjoyable for a person who might not be able to travel or do other...

I'm always behind in Civ games, lol. I played 2 for sooooo long, and for whatever reason I never started playing 3. Now 6 is out but I'm still playing 4 :tearsofjoy: I've tried playing 5 a few times but I can't seem to get used to the differences. There are some things that just feel more...
