General Gaming What are you playing today?

[Dre801]

Last of Us 2.  Just got to Seattle.  I'm really impressed by how good this game looks on my base PS4.  Wow.

[maddux4163]

Ghost of Tsushima of course! 

 

Slicing and dicing bitches like butter on bread 

[EternallDarkness]

working on second playthrough of FE: Three Houses, also been messing around a bit with the mario/rabbid games from way back 

[crispy4000]

Spyro 1 in Spyro Remastered.  I've got so many good things to say about the job Toys for Bob did.  It elevates the game even beyond what the Crash Trilogy accomplished.

Like Crash, I definitely recommend it on PC.  60fps does wonders for Spyro, and the X1X/Pro lack performance modes, and even have framepacing issues at 30fps.  My aging 1060 manages 60fps at ~1300p, with high shadow settings and the like.

Playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey but I'm not very far.

[Dodger]

In another rut and not sure what I feel like playing. Got on a Dark Souls kick but as always I start like 5 builds and then get bored.

[Brian]

Ghost of Tsushima arrived. Went with the white horse, Nobu. Let’s gooooo

[Keyser_Soze]

If you're not standing off you're a coward.

Ghost of Tsushima 

[atom631]

Not playing too much these days, but I finished TLOU2 and started Ghost of Tsushima. Hour or two in and its really great so far. I just hope it doesnt get dull. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Animal Crossing and Ghost of Tsushima.
 

Gonna test this copy of Hook I just got in for SNES, mess around with it a little. 

[Dre801]

Ghosts of Tsushima yeah.

Im replaying GoW (slowly) on hard mode ng+ (not gmgow, one step down), getting in some Spider-Man DLC, and then I need to decide between DQ11 and AC Odyssey as my next game. Im excited about both, so it’s basically a coin flip. I also need to beat AC Origins, I just prefer the setting of Odyssey, so I’m going to play that first.

 

I certainly want this pandemic over, but damn it is nice to go fly fishing every morning and then come home and play games, getting caught up on the games I didn’t have time to play.

Finished Command & Conquer (Tiberium Dawn), started Red Alert.

I need to do this. Though Victoria 2 is consuming my soul. I have to play in spurts though. My chair broke on Monday and my head hit the wall really hard. I have had concussions before but this is the first one that has lasted for days. I am getting better though just need to play games in 20 min spurts.

I skipped all that and jumped in to Fallen Order. So far Im enjoying it.

After a week or so of Yakuza, I've returned back to the Last of Us Part 2 and where I was unsure with Yakuza, there is no uncertainty with TLoU. It's such a great game and one of the few games where I don't want to stop playing.

 

Update:

 

I also looked at the DS games that I have e available and it’s quite substantial. I think then my summer goals will be to finish the Last of Us 2 and (for the first time) A Link to the Past and possibly one DS game, most likely Soul Silver. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Metal Slug 4 on MVS with the husband.

 

Then I'll play some Ghost of Tsushima.

 

I may get around to doing a little Animal Crossing.

Just started Chapter 5 I think.

[Dre801]

Last of Us 2.  Only about 9 hours in.  Really digging it.  Not much to say about the story yet.

[dualhunter]

Finished Red Alert Remastered.

[BloodyHell]

At the beginning, I wasn’t sure I liked Jedi:Fallen Order, but I just escaped Jeffa after fighting the Walker and I like it a lot. 
 

I do have gripes about it. Their visual language, guiding your path, is terrible. The mini-map is useless in most situations, and they really could have tightened up the controls. Although getting rid of L2 for climbing improves some things. 
 

I don’t love it yet, but im having fun. I expect it gets better with more abilities. I just wish Cal’s movement felt, well, tighter. But I think a second game has a a shot at being truly great if they improve the game engine.

Man this game is buggy. I enjoy playing it, but this is one game that absolutely needed more time in the oven. Even on my pro i get freezing and stuttering, especially in cut scenes. Jumping is an absolute mess any time you need to catch onto or land on anything small like a pipe. 
 

The combat also needs more tells for certain bosses, so when you need to block/dodge. And again, the visual language of this game is horrible. They could really, really take some lessons from Naighty Dog in that department. 
 

yet I’m still playing. Guess that makes me a dumbass.

[Dodger]

Started up Kingdom Come Deliverance again. Hopefully I'll make a serious run at it this time. I can't pick a lock for shit, as in I can't even get a very easy lock to open. Maybe I've been too spoiled by Bethesda like lockpicking systems. 

[BloodyHell]

Dragon Quest 11 is pretty damn fun. Im surprised how much I like it right now. There is some weirdness, but its a joy to play. Horse from the beginning, running, load times aren’t bad. The music is horrible, snd makes some of the game annoying. Its cool that I have never had the story spoiled for me and that I knew nothing about it. Its not perfect, but its fun.

[dualhunter]

Started Lightning Returns (FFXIII-3).

That’s a game I feel I would enjoy, but I don’t know if I could invest enough time in it.

 

This weekend will be more Last of Us 2, alongside clearing out my attic, going to the tip and digging up more stones in my garden. 
 

Edit: I didn’t realise but I’m at the very end of the hame (after having a flick through the chapter titles in a walkthrough).

 

 I’ll have to think about what to start next.

[Remarkableriots]

I was playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey but for some reason it won't go past the start screen? I wasn't sure if it was because I unplugged everything for the move or because my internet isn't working? Because of that problem I finally started Tomb Raider which I had been meaning to start.

[5timechamp]

Recon Wildlands.. its scattered insertion weekend get to use all parts of the map

That’s weird. 
 

I just started AC Odyssey, but so far it’s definitely the best of the series. I enjoyued Black Flag, as well as Ezio’s story, but I wasn’t in love with it, and I found Origins to be too brown and same-same. I didn’t like Bayek.

 

I love Kassandra so far, and rhis greek setting is far more interesting to me. Can’t wait for Valhalla.

[dualhunter]

Initially I was annoyed by the time limit in Lightning Returns but now I'm enjoying the game.

[Dre801]

Juggled Saints Row 2, Last of Us 2, and AssCreed Odyssey this past weekend.

[Brian]

Spent the weekend down the shore so I played only a bit of Paper Mario Origami King. It’s ok. It is clearly in the Yoshi and Kirby ring of importance for Nintendo where it’s all style over substance.
