Try going for highly reviewed games that focus on a single thing, not Frankenstein's Monsters that combine multiple genres

Take a Game Pass Ultimate abonnement and try all you can. I'll finish to find the perfect game. Perhaps an unexpected game ;)

You're chasing the dragon.

If you don't currently enjoy games, explore other hobbies. Programming, musical instruments, sports and exercise methods, speedcubing, arts, and so on. There is a whole world of hobbies and skills outside of video gaming.

Your career choice should not have anything to do with what video games you enjoy. Talk to a counselor at school or university who specializes in help with career choices. Read up on careers, visit appropriate subreddits and web sites.

> i think i should wait untill newer games release

You'll wait to pay $60 for a single new game but won't spend $10 to try a crapload of games for a month

you're just trolling

Sounds like depression. Maybe look into that.

yeah, except by relying on pirating you can't play the correct "experience" of many games that use Online multiplayer.

Since your problem isn't "i want to play X" but rather "I don't know what to play", you should be looking at solutions that encompass multiple titles

but as i said, looking at your responses to everyone else, you're just trolling

Exactly, it's possible to pay only 1$ for an entire month of Game Pass. Like that you have a month to try a lot of games! For only 1$, it's a good deal compare to buy a game around 80$ and realize that you don't like it...

Change is inevitable. The only choice is often whether you control that change or if you do nothing and wait for others to make decisions for you. That's the real thing to be afraid of.

Most decisions you make won't be forever, even if they feel like it. People change their careers in their 30s, 40s, 50s, sometimes even start new ones when they're 60. Not making decisions IS a decision, too, just one that gets you really stuck.

The thing with new hobbies is the upfront effort that is required to enjoy them (modern games sometimes have that element too). When I picked up the banjo, I sucked. It looked so easy when others played, but I couldn't even do basic stuff. Only after a lot of practicing and dealing with frustration I started to be able to play tunes that sounded decently.

It's the same with drawing. Any artist whose stuff you like and find impressive, whether it's a modern artist who creates game art or one of the classical artists who painted cathedral ceilings and created sculptures, they all started with stick figures. Programming is the same. You start with understanding nothing to eventually and gradually being able to write complex software or games.

I think one of the problems today is that it's so easy to compare yourself to everyone else. YouTube, social media, etc. No matter what hobby you pick up, you immediately run into people and their videos who have done the thing for years or you see the inevitable, alleged "beginner" who can do stuff that you can't even dream of. You have to completely free yourself from comparison, and be willing to suck. That is not easy.

Like with games, you have to try a number of different hobbies. Start by asking yourself what you'd like to be good at, then break it down and figure out where to start. No skill learning is ever a waste of time. It all adds up over time.
