NFT: Video Games - What are you playing?

UConn4523 : 3/26/2019 2:02 pm
I've been rotating a bunch of games which I don't normally do but i've been playing a ton of multiplayer lately with a bunch of friends.

Red Dead 2 - slowly finishing. One of the best games in years, but have been taking breaks for multiplayer.

Overwatch - got into this late but after getting tired of APEX Legends, I switched over to it and its fantastic.

Black Ops 4 - Blackout mode is the best of the battle royales i've played to date. The new mode that was just released is very fun.

The Division 2 - didn't want to get it but i've got about 5 friends who play it and I caved. Its ok. The best part is DC - it looks gorgeous. But it isn't very interactive and its incredibly repetitive. I'll probably play it for a few more weeks and then be done with it.

I am coming up on two years of playing this game almost exclusively. I don’t really play video games much anymore or have a lot of time for them, this game is very easy to just pick up and play and really demands nothing of you though. I have not beaten it yet but I am also not really trying to, I just wander around and see what pops up.

Very relaxing game to just space out and play. A+.

Reminds me of chess.

Also, a vintage arcade game(in an actual arcade which they still have out here) when I get the chance.
Was really deep into RDR2

but since the baby was born in January havn't picked it back up. Been playing DKC Tropical Freeze for the Switch for 15-30 minute bursts when I get a chance.

Great platformer. Hard. Recommend to anyone who enjoyed the old SNES games.

I'd finished the game last year, but in reviewing walkthroughs of the game I realized how much I missed from my initial game play. Really enjoying replaying it.

I just started God of War a few days ago.

I had bought it on Black Friday and never gotten around to it until now. So far I am enjoying it but am probably only about 4 hours in.

I have been thinking of picking up Sekiro, but I’ve never played any of the Dark Souls/Bloodborne games. I’ve heard they are extremely challenging and I’m not sure if I would enjoy that or not.
Currently on the 2nd run in Resident Evil 2

Mass effect started bland compared to the older ones, but starting to like it now.
Path of Exile is pretty awesome for the hardcore rpg gamer.

I’d like to check out Pillars of Eternity II and also Divinity, heard they were both great.

Best RDR2 a couple months back, and it was incredible in so many ways.

Still fucking around on Fallout 4 with mods here and there.
I played Overwatch for about  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 3/27/2019 12:14 am : link
14 months straight and nothing else. I bought single player games and they just sat there still in their shrink wrap. I've stopped playing Overwatch thanks to Apex Legends. I imagine once I get tired of Apex I'm gonna start knocking out my backlog.

Right now nothing...  
Johnny5 : 3/27/2019 8:54 am : link
... however, I spent (wasted? lol) many many hours on my fave game of all time - the original RE2. I really want to pick up a copy, but just not sure yet if I will do it for PC or XBOX/SONY PS.

If I do PC I will have to do a gamer that doubles as Home media server. Expensive (well, more than I want to spend anyway). If I do SONY then I can't run my dopey Spectrum app for TV. So at this point it looks like I'll be doing an XBOX S.

Yeah, I played APEX for about a month and just tapped out. Too many things that bother me about it (teams of 3 only, too many teammates quitting as soon as they are knocked down, and generally don't like more than a few of the weapons). I also got sick of looting and playing with people who choose looting above anything else.

Overwatch has been a breath of fresh air. A tactical shooter but one that anyone can play and just so much variety to choose from. Can't believe it took me this long to get to it.
I keep hopping around at the moment  
Bockman : 3/27/2019 9:02 am : link
I don't really want to get too far into another game at the moment since nicer weather is right around the corner and I won't be playing as much.

Civ 5 and 6
Elite: Dangerous
Various WoW private servers

I'm really waiting for WoW Classic but not a lot of confidence in Blizzard at the moment.
Still..

playing just FIFA 19.

Very deep game this year and the weekend tourney was revamped so it is easier to qualify every week and they keep running a lot of promotions for new cards to use.

i'm right in the middle of this. i love it compared to far cry 5. I like the crafting and expeditions a lot. I hope the expeditions stay in future games. It would be a great way to drop in other stories from the previous games like far cry 4

I've been wanting to buy the show again so bad, but usually the mets roster is so bad and their farm system sucks, not to mentioned the team stinks that I don't want to invest the time.

I had the show 10 and loved it. played it forever.

What's your team looking like?

FatMan in Charlotte : 4/2/2019 2:04 pm : link
Weekend League team is a La Liga squad.

IF Suarez and Griezmann at ST
Bale at RW
Special Coutinho at LW
Isco and Modric at CM
Special Grimaldo at LB
IF Pique and Godin at CB
Special Carbahal at RB
Special Oblak at GK

Very strong this year. I ended up packing Modric early on and then packed a Salah and Muller and sold them to get coins to build the rest of the team. My strongest squad in years and I'm finally getting to some decent levels. Finished Gold 1 in the past couple of Weekend Leagues.

Vesperia is my 2nd favorite of the franchise. I liked Graces best, but I'm Vesperia is basically tied with it.

I've mostly been playing Auto Chess and Rocket League. Fun to play with friends.

Nice that’s a really good squad. I like that you aren’t focused on pace like most (including me haha).

I have:
88 ST Werner
93 ST Reus
87 CAM Esswein
86 CM Delaney
85 CM Goretzka
87 LWB Davies
86 CB Tah
88 CB Upamecano
86 CB Boateng
84 RWB Da Costa
86 GK Fahrmann
That's strong..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 4/3/2019 9:41 am : link
I really like that Esswein card, but since I'm not focused on Bundesliga, it didn't make sense for me to do the SBC.

I'm playing a 4-2-4 and while the midfield can be a weakness because of pace, the defensive holding ability is good. Almost every match, I'm taking Isco and Modric out for 88 Kongdobia and 88 Sarabia in the midfield and they almost always provide a jolt. I used to be dead set against a 4-2-4 because of the pressure for the midfield, but it has worked this year.

The past two seasons, I've gone with La Liga. The two prior to that was a Bundesliga squad. Your team is giving me some flashbacks!
BTW..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 4/3/2019 9:43 am : link
I've tried 5 at the back a few times and can't get it to work.

3 at the back has been good, but I just haven't been very good trying 5.
5 in the back  
Jon in NYC : 4/3/2019 9:50 am : link
has been hit of miss depending on the patches. It’s great if you’re emphasizing crossing with the wingbacks, but the most recent patch made that so much harder so I may switch it up.
