Ever had "post-game depression"? - briefly
(hx) 11:55 AM CEST - May,22 2017 - Post a comment / read (5)
Neogaf has pretty interesting topic to discuss :-) Ever had "post-game depression"? :-) For a lack of a better word (at least in my voacbulary), I call it that way. Basically, you played a game/read a book/watched a movie or series which made you lose any desire and motivation to consume any other media for a few days/weeks because you know that nothing would match the experience you just had.

I'm currently in this state after finishing Persona 5 and just feel empty. No game I could buy or have on my backlog could currently live up to the expectations that I have because it wouldn't be Persona 5.

Other games I had this where I can remember were The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Persona5 suffered a little bit from my post-BotW depression), both Super Mario Galaxies, Chrono Trigger DS or Persona 4: Golden.

Did you ever had this? If yes, what games gave it to you? Or what would be a better word for this feeling?

I had it for all 'good old game'.
They brought a breakthrough at their own time and quite a few of them are still unparalleled in many sense (depression aside).

Most recent experiences are (most likely not in the right order):
- The Witcher
- Dawn of War
- King's Bounty (and the whole series afterwards)
- Drakensang (and the whole series afterwards)
- Company of Heroes
- Supreme Commander
- Dragon Age
- Borderlands
- Dishonored
- XCOM
- The Bureau: XCOM declassified
- The Witcher 3
- FO3
- Far Cry 3
- FO New Vegas
- Dungeons The Dark Lord (original+exp)
- Bioshock Infinite
- Skyrim
- Craft the World
- Divinity: Original Sin
- War for the Overworld
- Rebel Galaxy
- Borderlands 2
- Homeworld 2
- Borderlands The Pre-sequel

I replay most of these each year, just because they uber all the crap the PC game market is flooded with.

Singularity - PC, PS3, Xbox 360 - Raven have stated that Singularity's main gameplay mechanism is a device, known in the game as the TMD (Time Manipulation Device). The TMD has the ability to move a single object through time, both into the future, and into the past. It can also freeze an object in time, and has an 'Impulse' function, which can be used as a weapon once upgraded. The TMD is multifunctional, as it can be used as a powerful weapon, but also as a tool in puzzle solving scenarios. The device's use as a weapon is unconventional when compared to the weapons in other games. For instance, using the TMD's "rewind" function on a human opponent will send them into a "placental" state where they revert to an almost amoebic state, before slowly dying. The device is essential for solving puzzles, such as sending a lock forward in time, causing it to rust it in real time, or sending a broken bridge backwards in time until it returns to a usable state. Sending a tree trunk forwards in time while standing on it will cause it grow very quickly, allowing the player to reach higher areas. (675 hits)
