| I began to be curious on this because of what I read randomly online, as well as observing the play patterns of my younger brother. As an early 90s millennial kid grew up with PS2/Xbox era, I loved playing fun games and if some games are too hard, I tend to just leave them until later after finishing some easier games. I tend to only play titles that I like rather than looking at top game charts or what is mainstream. This includes some niche titles. Likewise for any trophies/achievements, I only do it if they are doable, especially when trying to go platinum. I play games for enjoyment and not as a chore. Yet whenever I see my younger brother (a mid 2000s Zoomer) playing games, he sometimes swear like there's no tomorrow, or shouting "What the hell?!", "Scum!" etc. He mostly hates the games that I played without even trying them, especially the anime Jrpgs which he finds them too long to even start playing, or simply because they are too "weeb" for him. So we have very different tastes, only common when it comes to FF7 Remake/Rebirth for example which (surprisingly) he enjoyed (I think?). He doesn't play niche stuff like me and nowadays he only goes for what's really popular. He played tons of hours of Fortnite, as well as tiny bits of other online shooters but he spent Fortnite the most. Then whenever he plays other games that appear to be the most popular, he doesn't seem to enjoy them - swearing or shouting, or feel only neutral about them. He started Elden Ring and Bloodborne not too long ago even though I warned him how hard they are and even I didn't want to start them yet until I'm fully ready. But he finds them hard and still play them just because of popularity rather than for enjoyment or for practising his level of perseverance. Then he is also aiming to platinum majority of games that he had played even though many of them are really painful to achieve - more swearing and shouting you can imagine. This makes me wondering, do you all play for enjoyment, or for obligation? Do you feel like you love the games you play and enjoyed what the games had to offer (story, characters, game mechs, music etc.), or do you play games because they are popular and you still play them just because you wanna be on the mainstream boat? Is this a generational thing where more and more people these days play games as a "second job" rather than for fun? Or is this a thing from all generations? |

| Your brother's an addict. If he's not having fun with a game, he should reconsider why he's playing in the first place. And should stop and do something else because way too many games exploit addicts and are deliberately designed to keep them trapped. |
| A bit of both. I usually try to be proficient in most things. In most offline jrpg, platformers, flash games, VNs, etc, I hardly care for achievements or speedruns & play purely for the story & experience. FE, I just played through normal & called it a day. I had an arc of watching FF cinematics on Youtube too. Was fun lol. For gacha, probably everyone would call it a 2nd job. I play whatever my friends play to have something to talk about. Something that incentivises improvement like rhythm games would be more obligation. I usually aim to improve enough to at least have fun on the most difficult charts. Maybe it's just games/online communities these days that encourage playing for obligation. |
| I don't play video games. I simply watch videos of gameplay footage on Youtube. |

| I do play for fun, but also we need to remember that sometimes the games are annoying especially when it is connected with some sort of a challenge to overcome like the examples you've given Elden Ring and Bloodborne [haven't played Bloodborne personally] although I don't think they are that difficult but usually learning and memorising the pattern is the stuff which makes it challenging, I think the word challenge is good enough to describe many games. Also playing a multiplayer games might be fun but also irritating, the prime example is League of Legends you can have a perfect game and have fun and than in the next game your opponent is simply dominating you and it is just annoying. I personally play for fun for the entertainment even if it is connected with putting some engagement and efforts to play the game, it took me a little of time to get used to Dark Souls when I started them [started with DS2 in around 2014-2015 withouth knowing anything about Souls like series] or with Sifu etc. Several years ago it was a little bit easier cause the prices of the games weren't that high, right now it is harder for me to get into that many games as before because they are expensive which is why I keep some games in nowadays at my steam wishlist and when I am commited to play something than I buy it. But it is hard for me to say more in details about it as within games I am somehow of a masochist, the harder the game the more fun I have with it, as long as it is the genre or themes I like, cause I don't find myself playing VNs which are completely boring to me, or sports games etc. Here 2 little clips of games I've played somewhere in the past: |
| Personally, I hate mainstream in anything, from anime to video games (though there's a possibility I could read more mainstream series from their original manga/light novel sources, but even that's iffy.) I don't game out of obligation at all. I just play the games that captivate my attention the most, and games that I feel I can progress at a steady pace with. Not too long ago I bought Steller blade on PS5, and although I thought the animation, characters, exploration and combat in it were nicely designed and developed, it wasn't long before I just uninstalled the game because it was too difficult, and I felt like it was becoming a chore to play through rather than a personal enjoyment. Moving over to games ranging from Devil May Cry 4/5 and the one made by Ninja Theory I immediately got into them. Tales of Arise was another one I played all the way through ... well *cough* until getting to the final boss anyway lol. Other ones like Alice Madness Returns was nice and fun to play through until I started getting lost. All the Final Fantasy games I can play through with great amounts of enjoyment and focus. Currently playing through Tales of Destiny, and am having a lot of fun with it... at least, until I get lost. Basically games where I at least stand somewhat of a chance to steadily progress through the game I enjoy. Games like Final Fantasy VII/Crisis Core/Remake/Rebirth and Dirge of Cerberus were all amazing to play through because of how linear they were and easy enough to steadily progress through each stage. I find a game has to be more linear for me to get into it, games that have ginormous open world maps (I didn't consider FFVII Rebirth's open world regions to be that big quite honestly, same goes with FFXV and FFXVI.) But games that are just endless open world exploring I can't handle because there's just way too much to take in all at once, and it's too easy to get lost, making progression more difficult. This happened to me with Nier Automata. Even though I loved the game, it became a maze. Once the enjoyment turns into frustration with a game I almost instantly stop playing it and move on to something that will bring a stronger sense of joy and accomplishment. But going back to just playing the mainstream games because they are popular, I don't travel down that road at all because I'm more into discovering the rare gems in both the gaming and manga/anime worlds rather than watching or playing something that is universally popular just so that I can say, hey I'm all caught up with what's hot off the press by present-day standards. |

At least later in the game the instant travel is available from majority of the vending machines, so travel became easier. Likewise for riding on those animals that were chilling in random locations. Glad someone else also likes to find hidden gems instead of looking at what's mainstream :) |

| @chaosflame5 I may have to give Stellarblade another try sometime, since initially uninstalling it I've since moved on to other games that I am currently having fun with, but eventually I'll go back to Stellarblade. I think I will play through it though on Easy mode for my first time playing through it. I really like the characters and music that are in that game, so hopefully I'll have more luck with it the next time I actually get around to playing it. Nier Automata is another game I was having tons of fun with until I just couldn't seem to figure out where to go. Like you said though, there are guides and what not that I could look at both in text and video format that I'd most definitely make use of it next time when I get to those parts in the game that I previously had difficulties navigating through. For now I'll just stick to my Tales of Destiny playthrough when I'm actually NOT reading manga! |
| I play games primarily for the cognitive challenge, that's why the games mechanics are most important to me. |
*kappa* |
| I play for fun, and this can come in many ways, for example I play DCS World, a "simulator" (more close to a game, but dont tell anyone) were you are expected to learn how to turn on the combat aircraft, learn how to use its systems and weaponry correctly. It takes many hours to just be able to take off without having to rely on guides/automated stuff, and even more to land properly. My brother scratch his head seeing me enjoy this, but I do. Fun can be also be got when facing the impossible and getting out of there victorious, thats one of the main appeals of games like Dark Souls/Elden Ring or Armored Core (A game that I enjoy a lot too), is that moment were you can finally say "I beat it!". There are people that like more "easy" games, and their fun comes of beating the levels and completing the games (sometimes even go for the 100%) other like the stories games tell. Now it is true that games are "popular", quite a lot of people play games just because it is now the cool thing to do, in contras to the old golden era where if you said you played games the whole weekend you didnt get to approval of your peers. And companies know this, this is why they push for streamers to talk about their games and fill the games with many positive reinforcement so people get addicted and spend more time (and money) on the game. When people fall into this, they start playing by obligation, they not necessarily enjoy the game, but they HAVE to play it. It is bad, and I play gatcha games Maybe show your brother old games, there are many gems that are flashy (so it doesnt get bored) and a blast to play without using tricks to make him addicted. |
 |
| I play because I'm a gamer. It's in my blood. |
| I play warframe so it’s kinda both for enjoyment and obligation since I spent a ton of money wanting to flip trade expensive arcanes and mods (I know you can farm plat but I want to skip the grind) As for gacha games, the enjoyment factor went out quick after finishing all the content and stopped playing since it felt like an obligation to not waste my spent money on gambling lmao, but I already quit 2 years ago and have been mentally better since. |

| For fun. But some games or parts are boring and feel like chores, so I just avoid them, all those collection quests like Assassin's Creed or log each day gatchas. But liking to suffer in games is just people M side, they should just do a M thing that improves them like studying. |

| I guess I could say I fall into both categories. Mostly for fun though. Although as a hardcore gamer I sometimes find myself realizing I haven't played a game at all on a certain day, and it makes me feel antsy! @_@ |
 |
| For fun. Purely for fun. Enjoying sweet graphics in modern games such as FIFA, The Last of Us etc. Playing classic games for Megadrive, SNES, PS1... Sometimes I use cheats if it's too hard for me; who will judge me if I'm playing solo? Also, playing against friends and making each other fall into traps. Gaming is one of the biggest sources of enjoyment in my life. chaosflame5 said: or do you play games because they are popular and you still play them just because you wanna be on the mainstream boat? I literally see no reason why would I (or anyone) do that. I'll play a game because I like it, not because it's popular. |
 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| Aside from friends, I don't see why you would play a game just because it's popular. Thankfully, I've enjoyed the few games I was recommended to by friends. When I play out of obligation, it isn't because of the popularity of the game, but rather to get myself to actually finish games. It is a common sentiment for a strategy gamer to start a campaign and never finish it just because we can't stay invested into the late game. This can be worsened by issues with game balancing, lack of content, etc. There have been times where I have felt obligated to keep playing a game just to continue working on a campaign, but usually my desire to do other things wins in the end. For the most part though, I play for fun or to fill space. |
Baskarite said: I'd probably kill myself if fucking kyun kyun came on over the speaker while I was trying to fight. |
| Mainly for fun. Marvel Rivals ranked is the only time I don't primarily play for fun, I play to win matches and rank up. |
| Famous twitch gamer's or YouTube gamer's must play games for obligation if it's their main source of income, I think. But there are those who are genuinely enjoyable to watch and their fan base are mainly due to that so it must be more of gaming for fun or enjoyment for those lucky SoB's. I myself game only for fun now. When I played Assassin's Creed games, it was an obligation for me to get that damn 100% achievement on Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. Until an update on Valhalla ruined everything, giving impossible quests to get the 100% again. I haven't played video games for a long time now... |

| I play games for fun because it removes my stress for me video games have the best story media and sometimes it feels like a adventure. |

Maybe your brother just finds raging fun or he likes challenging himself? It sounds contradictory but a lot of people find fun in the struggle. I never understood it either, though.
I'm close to your brother's age but I never really got into the social aspects of gaming so I've always played for enjoyment. I have raged at games myself a fair bit even when I was otherwise enjoying them.
I highly doubted he finds raging fun. He does have a mental disability though (surprisingly common in this tiny country), so maybe that's another reason why he rages a lot. Sometimes he is quiet enough at least nowadays. But in the past he was a 99% rage gamer. I myself only rage in the past because of gaming after a bad day in school, or due to certain games being really buggy and glitchy. But nowadays I rarely rage, and even if I do rage, I do it on the inside and never let it out (put on a neutral face or just a frown). Guess we are just different.Maybe your brother just finds raging fun or he likes challenging himself? It sounds contradictory but a lot of people find fun in the struggle.

| @chaosflame5 Literally i wont stop playing until it kills me sometimes, If i can keep playing i will force myself too no matter how much it'll stress me out, If I'm not trophy hunting I'll feel like I'm like wasting my time. |
| I simply don't play video games because they are a 100% scam. |

| For fun. unfortunately, not much I enjoy these days. sometimes I hop on Warframe or Maplestory The games I'm very fond of no longer have active servers (or are very dead) - MS2, Tales Runner, Rumble Fighter. I like games with robust community support and chibi aesthetics (kawaii). wish Maplestory 2 came back! |

| @flozinator I only heard of some of these titles. But this is the thing why I stay away from online games, other than microtransactions, the game could die any time. We don't even own the games at all. I'm more of a single player person with only very rare occasions of playing online only games. I'm currently only active online for Tekken 8. Maybe try some single-player games for a change if you haven't done it already? Some older entries have decent storylines and gameplay. |

| Always for fun. This is especially the case for gaming today as being an adult, you have even less time to play games. I grew up as a PsX Final Fantasy fan but I haven't even touched VII Intergrade or 16. Imagine being a Dragon Age or Assassins Creed fan and having to be obligated to play and complete the games their company spews out today simply because you're a fan of the previous/older games. The closest thing I have to an obligation playing is the Atelier series because I enjoy them and they usually released as a trilogy but I don't like the direction they've headed with their most recent game, Atelier Yumia. If I don't finish it, then I don't. I didn't finish Ryza 3 despite finishing 2 and 1. I do play some gacha games but for me, if I lose interest, I just quit playing and move on. I use to care about fomo as a kid but these days I couldn't care less. I've missed out on plenty characters in the gachas I've played. |
| I play for fun, sometimes I hate a game and finish it out of a kind of obligation/relief for finally finishing it... I think. |
| it's pure enjoyment for me. I do have an obligation to play games in the sense that I accumulated a lot of games over the years, and either never played/barely touched most of them. So I want to beat every game I own at least once, or at least give it a good try before selling/donating it away. If I'm not having at least a little bit of fun, or I can't admire the game from an artistic/ technical standpoint, I'm dropping it and playing something else. |

| For fun. The only obligation I feel sometimes is collecting things inside of the game such as skins or trophies/achievements, or if playing competitively, I do like to try and rank up. Even then, doing these things are fun for me also. |
| Mostly for fun, especially single-player games. I still play Fortnite, and when not playing with friends, it feels like more out of obligation to finish the battle passes and to check if there is something interesting in the shop. I used to play gacha games, Arknights mainly, and once it felt like a chore to log in, I would quit even if I had spent some money |
 |
| Just play what I do. I've only beaten 4 games so far this year. Might be a bit burnt out which happens, still having my fun time. |

| Fun, what kind of obligation would I have? |
| This was a very puzzling thing to see.. I assumed when I read it you mean like a game tester or QA person? That's the only situation I can imagine where someone plays a game as an obligation... as far as I know... Rather than it being a question I would just say it simply can never be an obligation by design, anyone who plays them is playing for fun or curiosity or some reason, mostly fun, but games like all entertainment are never an obligation. |
| Games are just meant to be played for fun |
| i play games for fun not obligation |
| For entertainment. Making a job out of a leisure activity, even if you previously found it enjoyable, commonly results in disillusionment with it. |
