What Games Are You Playing?

[Misanthrope]

Oh man, I spent many a rainy Saturday morning over at my hippie friend's place playing Millenium (which he called MilliMilli 2 dot 2) on the old Atari. The dude's Mum wouldn't let him have a TV that showed TV, he couldn't eat 'numbers' (anything with additives), and he'd munch on whole capsicum like apples, but that game was the bomb.

What should I play next Fallout 4 or Doom Eternal?

Ended up buying ffvii remake yesterday. Played for about 3 hours last night.

Very, very happy with my purchase. Ffvii is a very special game. This has the potential to be even better

Finally making myself play Spider-man after owning it since it’s release. Loving it. Combat is fun and, like all good spider-man games, swinging through the city is amazing.
Don’t know why I take so long to actually play these great games (God of war is waiting for me also), life gets in the way I suppose.

Side note. If you also enjoy Spider-man and have a PSVR, download the free Spider-man Far from home VR experience. It’s only short and small scale but web swinging is a damn thrill.

A game of plant the frankfurt or hide the sausage would be handy.

Night in the Woods on PC

Unique style of point and click adventure game. You don’t have an inventory, it’s all about finding places and conversations. Beautiful graphic design and music. Even though it’s all text it works for this particular game. A bit spooky and dealing with young adult themes very well. Played about 5 hours and most say it’s a 7-9 hour game, loving it so far

Mario Kart 8 on the Switch - online play is heaps of fun.

I got suckered into COD Warzone. Surprisingly fun. But better with a group of friends.

I bought my missus Animal Crossing for her birthday. She talked about it so damned much that I bought my own copy a few days later.

Bloody addictive, it is!

What the actual f**k is it? I've seen it all over the place online, but don't actually know what it is

It's the Rick Stone era of video games.

Still kick your arse if you show up on Rocket League.

I play platnium level these days. (COVID-19 time)

Pussies.

It's a life simulator set in real time.

You get loaned a house, or in this case an island, and you get to customise it as you see fit. In the latest game, you get to plan the entire neighbourhood including the location of shops, villagers, rivers and walk-ways.

The reason why everyone loves it because there's multiplayer aspects. Like Pokemon, each town has their own exclusive items, so you're encouraged to visit different islands to collect these items or discover villagers so you can invite them to your town.

It's not a game for everybody. The game doesn't really have an objective, it's entirely up to you and your friends to play around with. However, it's cozy and it's the type of game that you can just pop in and you'll find there's been all sorts of developments since your last playthrough.

Tom Nook is the greatest villain in video game history. He essentially forces you into indentured service.

So on PSplus this month one of the free games is Farming Simulator ‘19.
4 guys I usually game with are addicted to it, playing for hours most nights. I played once, and all I did for about 3 hours was pick and deliver some potatoes and plough a field. Boring as hell.
What am I missing?
What’s the attraction?

Doom Eternal - I don't remember the original being this hard.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Been devoting all my gaming time to Elite Dangerous lately, ridulously deep and complex space simulator with a ridiculously huge galaxy to explore (it literally models the entire Milky Way galaxy, so you can potentially visit 400 billion star systems, though the human populated “bubble” is only a tiny fraction of it comprising “only” 20,000 or so inhabited systems. There’s a major update being released towards the end of the year allowing players to own massive capital shops worth billions, so I’m currently grinding away earning lots of in game currency asteroid mining to make sure I’m cashed up when that happens.

might grab Doom Eternal soon though for a change of pace and some mindless fun, haha

Doom Eternal - I don't remember the original being this hard.

Yeah I just started this last week, it's pretty tough but not bad if you're just looking for some mindless killing and slicing monsters up with your chainsaw!
