Current Events > What game should I play?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm burned out on Fallout 4. It's so aggressively mediocre that it's put me off the genre for a while I think. I knew I made a mistake playing it before Witcher 3. :/

I have so many games I haven't beaten. I signed up for Origin Access just to play Titanfall 2. Normally I would be kinda pissed about a game being 6 hours long but I only paid $5 and I'm actually sort of in the mood for tight, really good games right now.

Recommend me something to play from my steam library my dudes. I haven't played half of them and I haven't beaten most of them. I need more diversity in my library... I digress. Best short games? 10 hours or less.

I've beaten these and they aren't 10 hours long.

Ys 1, I've heard great things about Ys but I've never played any of them. Is it shorter than 10 hours?

I'm currrently playing Final Fantasy IX so you should play it. On a related note I'm very disappoint with the lack of Terraria on this list.

Got some good games in there.

Guess I'll recommend System Shock 2 or Blood Omen 2, all my other picks are way longer than 10 hours.

Bioshock Infinite.

i second this, if haven't played the first 2 games don't worry about it.
i might even consider getting bioshock collection if it is at 30$ the next time it comes around and nothing shows up that i want.

wanting to experience it again.

Bioshock Infinite is one of the worst games ever made.

guess i will have a long time to wait, because it lacks trophy support
now others aren't going to like this response.

I've played very few games from that list... So in my uneducated option, I'd recommend Undertale.

resident evil 4

Stealth game collection brag topic.
---

I've beaten Resident Evil 4 :P

Under 10 hours guys. C'mon help a grill out.

I want to play Undertale. I feel like I should play Earthbound and fan translated Mother 3 first. I know they aren't related but I want to experience the influencer before the influenced.

I played more Fallout until I can decide.

Why u deleted post

I wish I knew why most girls are so unable to get into video games, and I'd like to know what the ones that do, see differently than us guys

anyway, personally I'd play TF2 until I got bored.
Bioshock collection on hard is hella fun, especially 2
Dragon Age: Origins is solid

is Little Nightmares on steam? buy that

nothing you have is really under 10 hours, save for the multiplayer games. What's your mood?

also get a sig

I have too many games already I'm not buying any more.

What I listed is just what I have on PC. It's kind of front loaded with dude bro shit. :D

Nintendo is what got me into gaming. I started with the original DS and branched out from there. Girls and games is more common now than in the past but I'd venture a guess that it's not particularly welcoming to young girls. It's actually a pretty deep seeded thing in society where girls were discouraged from being into science and technology and video games were put in the toys section of department stores which are decidedly NOT gender neutral. It's not just a thing that happened.

It was actually pretty evenly split in the early days of video games and with home consoles/toy departments came the gender divide. This is my understanding.

I have a twin brother. We both got DS's at the same time and I'm actually more into it than he is.

I keep ketting really far into Ori but stuff keeps happening that causes me to lose my saves. :(

I adore Ori. Maybe I should finish that or start Hollow Knight.

I'm in a Metroidvania sort of mood.

Which is shortest?

Shantae
Guacamelee
Hollow Knight
Axiom Verge

I could use a palette cleanser after Fallout 4 so I'm leaning Shantae.

what the hell you gotta do that limits you to 10 hours
---

I want to chip away at this backlog. I don't want to get stuck in another endless unrewarding Bethesda esque shit show.

Also school, social life, extracurricular activities.

I don't go to school in the USA where it's like 6 hours and done. Where I live the education system is a bit more demanding.

Also school, social life, extracurricular activities

Oh yeh, those things exist

I dunno. those four you just mentioned seem unsatisfying. I guess go with Undertale, I haven't played it but everyone seems to like it

Rise of the Tomb Raider is probably in your time limit. It's real fun, until around 70% completion then kinda goes flaccid
---

Play Metal Gear Rising. You can beat it in like one sitting and it's a total blast
---

portal

Arkham Asylum is under 10 hours, and it's really good. City is a bit over 10, but it's probably the peak of the series.

Bayonetta is so freaking good and probably comes in just under the 10 hour mark. Definitely play this one.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger is a fantastic arcade FPS. It's like 5 or 6 hours.

Thief Gold, Thief 2, and System Shock 2 are all 15-20 hours a piece, but they're great and you should play them.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

This isnt a particularely long game

Id say its beatable in 10 hours.

Man i love the Panama bank mission... Also the mission im best at, go figure..

If that isnt good enough go around and goof off in just cause 2.

It wont take 10 hours to beat (the game is much bigger than that) but it can be played in shorts like this where you just "Free" some locations.
