Escapism. The End.

Because it allows me to pretend to be something other than the sad loser I am in real life

Someone has it worse. Hold yourself up to a higher standard man

Fun, escapism, same as literally any other hobby.

I'm pretty much 80% RPGs, 20% shooters.

I am around 90% RPGs, this includes action RPGs, and 10% miscellaneous.

I definitely have others sprinkled in. There's always a racer or fighter, or something, sprinkled in from time to time.
Just whenever I think of my most anticipated, they almost always fall into those two categories.

I would play more shooters but I need a better PC. Shooters on a console can be a bit frustrating.

Iam a big fan of beautiful women in skimpy armor lol. That being said I often spend money without hesitation on games with a hot female lead. So I recommend a game called "she will punish them." On steam. For any men of culture who enjoy a healthy dose of the female form.
