Whatcha been playing?

Getting sick of grinding in FIFA 20 FUT so started playing VOLTA (the street football mode). That's pretty fun.

Checked out the new No Man's Sky update. I like the planet variety and UI reskin but after playing through the game 3 times already before the NEXT update came out, it's still a bit boring. Also the flora pop-in and draw distance are still bad if you move faster than walking pace.

I've really been considering Fall Guys. It looks fun.

Yeah, the hype for the update is definitely buffered after a few hundred hours of previous gameplay. I'm happy for the wider variety, but I'm hoping it's a base they extend from. I'm trying to get the last few achievements to 100%, which means planet hopping to the center of the galaxy a couple more times. A few systems in, and things begin to seem not-so-varied again.

For new players the latest version would be a blast. So much to do if you haven't done most of it already.

I've been playing a lot of Crusader Kings 3 and building houses on the Sims 4 (with my 60gb worth of mods and cc lol)...while I'm waiting for assassin's creed, cyberpunk and black ops! November will be a good month of gaming for me

I've been playing lots of Path of Exile and Witcher 3 on PS4 while waiting patiently for the release of Cyberpunk 2077. I still need to finish the Final Fantasy VII remake, but I don't want to finish it and then have to wait for part 2 to come out, so instead, I'm waiting to finish it until part 2 comes out. Makes no sense I know. I save up the endings of good games because I don't want them to end lol.

I have so many games in my library, aaaaaah, at this point it's a hoarding problem. But what one can do when sales are so enticing...
I've started playing Sleeping Dogs and it's so fun, although I cannot figure out how to become a better driver than a twelve-month old baby. I had to redo the first car chasing task three times, cause I kept crashing my car into everything on my way, including passersby. The crime may one day end, but the city of Honk Kong will never be truly safe till the day my driver license gets revoked (´-ω-`)

Saaaame. I bought an embarrassing amount of games in the Steam Halloween Sale, and I'm probably going to go back later tonight to stock up on some more super cheap horror games before the sale ends. At this point, I have literally hundreds of games between my Steam and PS4 libraries that I haven't even touched yet, but I can't stop myself from buying more, haha.

So I don't dp, I had pre-ordered Little Hope and can't wait to play it sometime this week when I have the time. I'm hoping it's less like Man of Medan and more like Until Dawn.

Thought I'd give Endless Space 2 another try. It's basically Civilization in space but I found it a lot more complicated when I first played it and got frustrated. This time I've learned how to play it properly and I'm enjoying the relaxing pace.

 

[zippypinhead]

I just started playing Control tonight. It's funny --I don't really like horror games the same way I like horror in other media, and I really suck at shooters, but Control really intrigues me. I guess the horror setting and the shooter mechanics kind of buffer one another, plus it's pretty cinematic. I got through the opening part, and I'm having fun so far.

I recently saw on steam that Sims 4 was on sale so now thats where my life is at. I've graduated University with a degree and villainy and I'm a vampire so theres that. At least I can finally say I have a college degree!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Miss_piper]

Recently I've been playing assassins creed Valhalla, its quite a bit of fun! I havent played any of the other games in the series, so im not sure how it stacks up, but I can spend hours exploring on these kind of games.

How many expansions did you buy? How good was the sale?

I have a dozen games in my backlog for PC and PS4 that I haven't touched since October because I have been wholly consumed with the Oculus Quest 2. I get a bit of workout playing Beat Saber, Synth Riders and I am drenching in sweat playing just a few rounds in Thrill of the Fight. I also play PCVR based games like Half Life: Alyx, Asgard's Wrath, No Man's Sky and Google Earth VR wirelessly via Virtual Desktop app and it is glorious. The level of immersion in these games is top notch and it runs pretty smoothly on my 2018 gaming laptop (i7 7700, 1060 6GB & 32GB RAM) but the newer PCVR games require much higher end specs sadly.

Even though the Quest 2 is cheaper than the other VR headsets I bought several accessories like an elite headstrap with battery, 3 different facial interfaces and controller straps just to make the VR experience more comfortable for myself. But after all those expenses I still think its a great investment especially if you haven't experienced VR before. Highly recommended!

I mentioned earlier, I am into retro games. So I got myself Heroes of Might and Magic III again and I can't stop playing. Parallel I play Earthbound and I am replaying Super Mario World constantly on the side. Oh, and Fall Guys! I bought it cause all my favourite streamers played it and it looked like so much fun - I am not dissappointed. Hilariously silly game. You die on repeat but you have to giggle while doing so.

 

[mike_aussie]

Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 (2018) Special Editions are on sale so I picked them up dirt cheap. They run great on my PC and I'm having fun.

 

[GoddessLilith]

Finally grabbed Among Us ... been finding it nice for a chill, low-commitment winding down activity while I can hang with friends too

 

[RadioactivePanda]

Right now I'm playing through the dark souls games on PS4, pretending I had both the money and time to find a PS5 that wasn't sold by an asshat scalper so I can play the Demon Souls remake.
