Boring after 20 minutes type games?

Boring after 20 minutes type games? Its a passive horde survival game. The game play is rotating the stick in a rough circle so you keep moving that you can do without even having to look at the screen while you hoover up tiny pellets that make you stronger to survive more blobs of color on the screen. Have any of you ever tried risk of rain or heck even cuphead? You can have rapid gameplay and a point to it. This feels like the modern bathroom book as a game. Fun but just enough to be over when you have finished something more worth your time.

No I didn't request anyone else to stop having fun I am just pointing out my interpretation of the games and the name I use for them. Why does my opinion on it make you think that I am demanding you stop playing unless you care what others think about your own free time? I just like it differently and am voicing that. Your take as an attack means you feel a need to defend it preemptively, and over assume I care about you playing it.

Oh for sure. I actually discovered vampire survivors after finding its mobile clones and liked them all but for 20 minutes at a time. Once I tried to play the OG I just couldn't help but think of it as a passive game though and it lost my interest for long term play sessions. I think it's an import point that they are passive.

It's a pointed jab at asking if people have tried games I enjoy while being a little condescending of a genre I find to be best at filling short moments. It just doesn't match that comic cause that's not demanding people stop enjoying something they like. If people can't separate criticism of a genre as not criticism of them I can't help them either.

Yeah it's not something you play all day. I usually pick one or two of the challenges to do and by then I'm either de-stressed enough to do something else or I just go to bed.Nice, yeah I get it. I keep struggling to play my much slower games when it's that late part of night and have decided to beat all my Roguelikes I have, but I can't help but admit I'd rather be playing Katamari Damacy. Now that's how I destress. But that's very passive.

You were just telling them they were having fun wrong. Glad we cleared that up.

And directly against what I just said. And I contributed a name.

Then you have expressed yourself poorly. Some of that may come from the fact that you came to a post about "How should we classify X" to complain about how you don't like X, which isn't relevant to the classification and no one cares.No you immediately took criticism of a genre as a personal attack because of your own issues. You take it as poor communication because of your own interpretation and the pushback I am giving for your misunderstanding of my point. I have been consistent with saying it's a short term fun game for me and that I find other games to be more rewarding. Don't blame others for being offended by other peoples opinions. I added to the conversation with an offer of classification of _passive horde survivor_ and an explanation of how I got there. I'm even having a pleasant conversation about that right next to yours where you have been antagonistic. I don't even expect anything from you other than to stop insisting I care if you have fun playing a game I only mildly enjoy.

I never claimed you were attacking anything but the genre, and my point was no one cares and this isn't the place for it. >I’m even having a pleasant conversation about that right next to yours Yup, do you notice how the conversation goes better (and you stop receiving downvotes) when you stop with the condescending jabs? Maybe start there next time.
