I seriously can not cope with any of this. I want to be a fucking teen or in my early-mid 20's so fucking bad again. I have wrinkles all over my face, I am almost completely bald, I look closer to 50 than 30, unironically. My parents despise me, my dad thinks I'm a failure and a massive disappointment and my mom thinks I'm filth and that if I kill myself it would benefit everyone. I have no friends since I was in high school and I've never hugged, kissed, held hands, let alone had sex with a girl.

I'm not say I'm going to end it, I just want recommendations for a game that fits the following parameters:

-immersive, has a really well-developed and deep world with history and setting/flavor
-has a very long game length (100+ hours)
-is extremely immersive, to the point you can just sink into it and forget about everything else

i just want a game to help me escape, man. I'll read all your recommendations and take them seriously

Runescape

have sex, it will help your life now more than any video game

Invest in VR my friend, unironically VRChat will let you get friends and escape shit. You might end up a huge faggot that drinks a lot tho.

I was into Runescape for awhile and played OSRS too but at some point it just becomes cookie clicker with extra steps and I'm not interested in that
It's never, ever going to happen dude I'm 35

Weebshit or no weebshit? Weebshit makes this easier.
If not I always love to replay the first 2 metro games when I need to feel like Im somewhere else.

Thanks for the recommendation user, I have a HTC vive coming in the mail some time this week actually, I'll look into VRchat

escape from tarkov maybe, i dont know man..

Red Dead Redemption 2.

Play Kenshi. it's immersive for me and I spent a whole Christmas break just on that game. You may like it if it's something that you're into.. try it out first.
Also, just pay for sex. No shame in that.

Persona games are good having friends and a social life during school years simulator

Minecraft.

Why bother playing games? Just get a prostitute and some drugs. You have to stop demystifying life as either be a football captain chad or be worthless forever

Halo 2

Boomer here.
Stop caring about what others think.
Make yourself independent and experience everything awesome that you love.
Even if you live for the next game or anime, think of the billions of will never experience those things and realize that nothing else matters.

Were you into D2 back in the day? God knows I was & Im atill playing Path of Exile. Its got its flaws but it checks the boxes you're looking for, especially if you dont follow guides and like building organic system mastery over extremely complicated games.

yeah

I did the same thing. VRchat has been really fun so far. My WMR works fantastic with it.

Oh, and I forgot.
I recommend getting into visual novels.
They make the pain go away.
You can live your life vicariously through these games, like I do.
It's too late for people like us, but we still fulfilled by experiencing the best things that have been said and thought in the world.

Had sex almost every week or alternate daya since 16 until 30, it's overrated and problematic. Vidya is better in everyway, if given a chance to redo everything I'd not have sex and game all time, women have cooties.

I'm fearing I'm gonna be OP and I'm already 26.5 This shit is terrifing me, I still look feel and act as I did when I was 15. Life has been terrifyingly the same too since I was age except replace the 6 to 2pm of school with 6 to 2pm of a shitty retail job I got 5 years ago after I turned 21. That fucking 3 years of neetdom felt twice as long as the 6 years almost I've experienced now.

we are of one soul

sure bud

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THESE REPLIES BROS.
I really liked STALKER 1 and 3, is Tarkov out of alpha/beta testing now?
HOW THE FUCK DID I FORGET ABOUT THIS SHIT it completely slipped my mind, I think this is what I'm gonna start playing first
I'll grab Kenshi. And I'm not gonna bother with a prostitue, they took down craiglist personals anyway I have no idea where to find a hooker
I really liked 3 and 4, is 5 worth a go?

Honestly just go to a strip club. Most of the strippers there will fuck you for money. They don't even care if you ask them up front.

Sex is not a big deal in your life unless you're not having it. Missing out on teenage sex fucks you up mentally and scars you for life. I've heard dudes who were like "haha that is bullshit I never got laid in high school I lost my virginity at 22 and I have tons of sex now and my life is awesome" but they're usually lying to themselves and everyone else.

>I really liked 3 and 4, is 5 worth a go?

No, I dont understand people that say is good. The group is insanely retarded and their motives are edgy anarchist teen phase

It's moreso intimacy and being around girls than having sex with them. I knew several couples in high school that were very religious and did not have sex until late in their college years.

I first had sex at 21 and I feel fine desu, granted I'm only 22

27 here. It'll get better. Focus on learning. Get some certifications. You're not out of time.
I got 3 IT certs in 6 months and landed a 80k a year job.

You play Mount and Blade, nigga? I spent about 200 hours on Fire and Sword.

Morrowind

Oh definitely. It's about the overall feeling of being alive.
When I was about 15 or 16 every one of my peers was already having tons of parties shitfaced and fucking around like the world is ending, while I was not allowed to do that due to looking like a retarded gorilla with a peek voice so all I had was my video games. I'm glad I get to be NEET now because if I couldn't have a normal youth, I'm not going to be a normal adult for people who hate me.

>immersive
>deep world with history
>long game length

OP's perfect game is life itself

Conan Exiles was fun for a while if you don't mind survival sandbox games. You can build a comfy slave pen for yourself

Get some therapy, fix your life. No vidya can fill that void user.

>peek voice
*pedo voice
Also, I used to have "friends" who tried to groom me into becoming a betabux provider cuck while they were off to college parties, don't even try to socialize if you look like me.

Maybe you should've developed a talent or real passion in those years while you were playing vidya you stupid fuck

Escape it bro. I'm 18 and just wish everyday that I could be 15-16 again. It's only getting worse

>young people bad because im old

You put way too much faith in me user, I've skirted by doing the bare minimum in school and now working for the past 10 years now. Congrats though dude, looks like you worked hard for that. I think it's something with my brain because I feel only satisfied when I do old-man things like get all the lawn work done and organizing my house constantly.

>It's moreso intimacy and being around girls than having sex with them
This is probably it. I've never had a female friend and I don't think I've had a genuine interaction with a woman my age in years. Not even a NEET.

I remember the absolute shitstorm that happened here in 2008 when everyone realized children born in 1990 were going to be 18 and could post here. I also remember Halo was universally hated here as the begining of the end for shooters, and it's now nostalgia'd over by literal children on this board born in like 2005 or some shit, fucking ridiculous.

You've just described every old person ever

When I was 18 I still thought I was 14, if you don't force yourself to do things you dislike you don't actually change. I'm just now learning this about adults, they literally force themselves to be something different instead of just transforming into an adult while they sleep. It eluded me just now into my mid twenties. I miss the period of time when I was 10-13 the most. I matured too fast when I was 12 as well which makes things worse for people. OP as someone still a good 10 years younger than you, embrace who you are and don't force yourself to be something your are not. "adults" are just jaded kids that are playing pretend because it's what they are conditioned to think they're supposed to be. You can still be mature and childish at the same time.

I started seriously browsing Yas Forums in september 2008, I still felt like such a massive newfag even during the Duke sticky that I was terrified to even post, except for a few stray times. I felt like everyone back then in 2013 when I was barely 20 too.

Only VN I've played so far is KS. Any recommendations for other VNs that'll scratch the itch I have for vanilla romance with damaged goods?

I see good things in all games from any era. I think it would have been awesome to grow up with minecraft, but I'm also more than fine to have grown up with Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island
t. OP

>i just want a game to help me escape, man. I'll read all your recommendations and take them seriously
Holy shit, this might as well be the rarest type of OP you can find on Yas Forums

>I really liked 3 and 4, is 5 worth a go?
If you liked 3 and 4 then 5 will be a disappointment to you, it's only an improvement gameplay and accessibility-wise (Although I've only played the original: I've heard Persona 5 Royal is way less of a shitty game than normal P5)

Also Danganronpa is comfy and its sequel (DR2) is widely considered to be kino

Get a job and move out you literal fucking bum.

Wasn't moot only 20 in 2008?

>tfw started browsing this shithole when I was 14, in 2006
I wish I could go back and never find this place

No he was born in 88, was 15 when he made Yas Forums in 03

Halo was hated and sage bombed (and later GET spammed by script faggots) so was anything positive to Xbox 90% of the time. It wasn't even until the past 7 years you could start having threads pertaining to the lot. SDF dominated this board and were asshurt because of NOGAEMSNOGAEMS and still are apparently.

Not OP, but I work and live together with my mom's husband and herself. We are basically roomates though and I pay more than my share considering I bail them out financially all the time, clean the house and cook them meals. I'd rather be a mooching neet.

If you got a free pass to go back to 16 years old then you would just make the same mistakes and end up back where you are now. Deal with your life and think forwards. Wtf do you think trying to escape reality some more is going to do?

Minecraft

sex is a meme. Lost my v card last year at 22 and had sex regularly for about a year and everything's the same. The feelings of inadequacy and and fleeting time will never go away

it will happen again and again
relax and enjoy the ride for what ti is
