What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play? (lemmy.world)

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Elite: Dangerous.

Hell of a good space trucker sim. If you like spending 2 hours managing your ship before making a 6 system jump only to dock and do it all over again.

I quit when they stopped developing vr. I bought my headset for elite.

Same here. I got a Oculus DK2 VR headset solely for Elite Dangerous. Have since moved on from Elite but haven't lost the enjoyment for VR games.

I haven't lost the enjoyment just the software to make it happen on pc since I stopped using windows lol. Looking forward to whatever valve's got coming next though, I'm sure it'll be a fine upgrade to my Quest 2

The king of 'oops I forgot my keys' simulation

You mean fuel scoop. Nothing worse than making jumps with a full tank only to get to your destination and realize you forgot to equip a fuel scoop. Better hope they have a fuel scoop you can afford that also doesn't take forever to refuel!

I second this. I really love the aesthetics and design direction - especially the sound - but the gameplay just falls flat after a few dozen hours. Doing anything cool requires copious amounts of grinding, and the story has been dead in the water for years.

It's a real shame that Frontier botched it so badly.

But the ship management is very basic and less complicated than what you'd find on ETS2 for example.
