What are your biggest guilty pleasure games?

[inpurpleshadows]

The title speaks for itself. With the massive abundance of games coming out per year, it's likely everyone has some stuff they consider guilty pleasures. The definition of "guilty pleasure" means different things for many people; some even consider gaming as a whole a guilty pleasure. Though, to me, guilty pleasure games are experiences I enjoy that a majority of people dislike, something that you wouldn't admit to liking in public, or stuff that you like despite being aware of its low quality. I wanted to share some of my guilty pleasure games to provide some examples of what some would consider.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Borderlands 3
Five Nights at Freddy's series
POSTAL 2
David Cage games (e.g. Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human)
Duke Nukem Forever

I'm making this post because the internet is in a chronic state of negativity. I don't think this will magically turn the web into a fairy tale where everyone lives happily ever after, but it would be nice for people to get out of that bubble and embrace what they enjoy. And to be honest, in an era where you're not allowed to like anything without the validation of a popular internet influencer/youtuber, I'm sure we could all use a break.

I agree it's fun to meme on Markiplier losing his marbles over the game. But I stand by what I said. It's relaxing to have a game where the objective is just to climb, and if you fall, just climb back up again.

BRO SAID GUILTY PLEASURE NOT MASOCHISM

Game is so busted.

Starbound is essentially what Starfield could have been were Todd Howard not a furry charlatan who binges bathroom visits at Fleetwood Mac concerts. It's in the same boat as, say, The Sims 4 or Rimworld in that it is as much a great framework for mods and modding as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Which of course is in turn why Stardew Valley is like Fallout 4 in that mods cannot save it unless you're the kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who likes to play games single-handedly. Which don't get me wrong, One Finger Death Punch is probably the best game for those who perhaps have broken their arm or lost it to an IED like that roommate I had who thought I was in Al Qaeda. But there are just some games you cannot save with mods and thus some games which should not be played more than once if at all.

Like Fallout 3 or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, who are both bigger mistakes than me.

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...]

any game where i can micspam effectively. DayZ is nice for this. going to Cherno PD/Vorkuta hospital and playing dial-up tones through the PA speakers is probably the only thing i like in the game other than maybe the feeling of driving the janky cars.

i use to like social deduction games, but the one i liked moderated its playerbase to a vanishingly small number.
