What are you playing right now?

[Neuromancer]

Finished The Beast. Satisfying ending that leaves the game open for a sequel. Gotta say it was super obvious the entire time who the Beast was going to be though

Next up is FF7 Remake Intergrade. Never played the DLC so starting fresh

 

[O_V]

Fallout 76

Brotato

I'm overplaying 76 right now.

Nba2k25... I'm not getting duped into buying the new edition for the 20th yr.

Haven't played since 2020 was the same shit copy and pasted year after year. Suppose it's improved now maybe but I don't have any desire to play anymore. Getting old I suppose not much time for gaming

cmon scrahs, join me in Dune

I tried to play Dune but could not get into it. The combat just felt so dated. Everything else seemed solid but unless they've updated the combat aspect of the game significantly I can't see myself going back

combat has evolved to the point where it is pretty modern, imo. But that's not really the crux of the game, it's an MMO, not CoD where fighting dictates everything, it's more layered. Combat escalates as you progress, but you can step in to end-tier relatively quickly. That said, if you want to try again I can hook you up with all the top level gear. It's mostly meant to be played with a crew, but if you're an introvert with no friends I understand.

Same. I play my 2k association, never online, like once every month or two. My GF has gotten more use out of my PS5 in the 2-3 yrs that I've had it playing her Cup Head game religiously.

 

[mudyez]

Just finished Luigis Mansion 3. On to Mario Galaxy 1+2.

 

[FiestaSpurs]

Battlefield 6 on Xbox One. I've been mostly playing Warzone, but CoD has become more and more like Fortnite light. I've never played Battlefied before, so it's taking some time getting used to.

 

[CryHavoc]

Just pre-ordered Arc Raiders after getting multiple "this is my GOTY" reports from friends.

I’m tempted to pull the trigger too but as of now I still don’t get the appeal after watching several videos!

If you're not an extraction shooter fan, it's probably not for you.

Generally the game is about teamwork, resource management, and risk/reward. It's PvPvE with an emphasis on the E. It's meant to create a lot of tense situations where you have to use all of your resources to problem solve on the fly to survive.

I'm enjoying 2k25 in single player mode with offline enabled (so I can't even be tempted by their stupid gambling shit).

Running a MyEra NBA which is basically removing the bullshit GM RP stuff that is super annoying, and with some custom sliders to make gameplay more realistic it's a pretty solid sim. Wemby is a 98 in his 3rd year, 1st in MVP voting, Spurs are 50-10 and just rolling over teams. My roster is fox/vas/castle/sochan/wemby have and Harper, Christie, Julian, and Mitchell Robinson with D'Angelo Russell in to play spot minutes for 3 point shooting, but he sucks despite his 82 rating so he's getting cut for sure after this season. Barnes and Keldon are long gone in trades.

Hollow Knight Silksong. GotY tbh

 

[Neuromancer]

Checking out the Outer Worlds 2 since it's free on game pass. The first one was kinda mediocre but I've heard this one is a big improvement and closer to Fallout New Vegas Obsidian vs the first game

Act 2 IMO is the finest section of a MetroidVania in history. My god. It's flawless.

Battlefield 6 on Xbox One. I've been mostly playing Warzone, but CoD has become more and more like Fortnite light. I've never played Battlefied before, so it's taking some time getting used to.

Tried a few games of RedSec with a friend last night... it's definitely got some potential since Warzone is a complete shitshow at this point.

Blackout was my favorite BR of all time, I wish COD would have just stuck with that.

Agree 100 percent. Getting past the Bilewater run back + mini gauntlet + boss, and High Hall gauntlet with the Maidens still activated and no Shakra/Garmond help… the two most cathartic moments I’ve ever felt from a video game.

Been enjoying silksong ..love me a good platformer .. also trying my hand at the new Battlefield Battle royal game type. It’s interesting in it’s similar to war zone but very different as well

Blackout was sooooo good I couldn’t get enough of that game

I enjoyed DMZ more than warzone tbh

Just got to act 2 after more than 20 hours

 

[JMarkJohns]

Anyone play Marvel Contest Of Champions? Basic streetfighter game with expanded Marvel universe. Lots of champions, lots of styles of or options for play from Alliance to Individual types of events.

Been playing since its first week in 2014. So account is like middling stacked. Curious if others have enjoyed that type of mobile game.

 

[CryHavoc]

Arc Raiders is making a late push for my GOTY. It's absolutely fucking fantastic.

 

[Neuromancer]

Finally decided to check out Ghost of Yotei. So far it's basically just Ghost of Tsushima but with a female protagonist. The first game was good so I get they didn't need to reinvent the wheel but feels like everything is basically the same gameplay wise so far

Been watching my lady play Alan Wake II the last few nights and she's stuck in some derailed tunnel or whatever so she's been frustrated not finding out what to do. It's been fun watching her play and I never knew what that game was about but I feel like I'm watching a movie when she's on AW2. I wonder how long she'll keep playing though because last night she was way too frustrated with the game.
