Chris- Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Playing more or less, clearing your backlog, struggling to find a Switch, holding off on future purchases, and so on...In all of the different ways, how has the pandemic affected your gaming habit? Personally, I've been playing a lot of Switch games. My girlfriend and I have collectively played probably 100 hours of Animal Crossing, and we spent the better part of this weekend playing couch co-op in Overcooked 2. I also just impulse bought Mario Kart 8, because I've had a hankering for some Mario Kart and she would play that as well. Eventually I might get to some of the PS4 games in my backlog like Jedi Fallen Order and FFXII, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazatron Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I’ve been playing quite a bit more being stuck around the house, certainly helps that games like Animal Crossing and Persona 5 Royal have come out. I’ve also dug up some classics like SC2 to play with old friends like back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I am now working from home. So home feels like work. I’ve actually felt less motivated or interested in playing games, and have been doing more passive entertainment outside of my work hours.

Mr.Vic20 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I've been gaming like a fiend! I still have the following backlog after clearing Fallen Order, Metro Exodus, and latest Warframe content: 1.) Red Dead Redemption II 2.) Control 3.) Doom Etertnal 4.) FF VII Remake (half way through!) 5.) Nioh II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It's gone up a million percent. I beat RE3, played a lot of other titles, playing Destiny 2 more sadly. Animal Crossing. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Playing more, but kind of stupidly. Started like 5 Dark Souls 3 builds, and yesterday started playing Final Fantasy XIII from scratch. If I was smarter about it I could definitely be clearing out my backlog better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I have a pile of backlog games the size of a small mountain I need to beat, so of course I've been playing Skyrim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It's impacting my tabletop gaming most seriously. My weekly D&D has moved online with no problem, but my regular board gaming nights with my pals are kinda of squashed for the time being. As far as video games go I find myself with a lot more time since my regular outside social activities aren't happening. So I've been playing a lot of Valorant and doing some backlog clearing; Demon's Souls, replaying FFVI, picked up FF7R. Also a shitload of Animal Crossing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I've been playing a lot more in the past two weeks, than I think I did in the past 6 months. So far, I've finished off Resident Evil 2, What Remains of Edith Finch and I'm now on the back straight of Death Stranding and my tolerance to actually sit down and play is much higher, so I should really make the most of this as I'm four months away from having no time at all.

Brian Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 In the beginning of the NJ lockdown, my gaming was up, but it is slowing down dramatically. Work has started to bleed into my off hours to the point that I open my work laptop 7 days a week. It’s a combination of lower productivity due to not having a home office and the company talking about layoffs which makes you feel the need to work more to justify your job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 My work is considered an "essential business" so my schedule is the same so nothing has changed for me... To think society would crumble without me is very stress inducing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've gotten back into gaming In the last couple weeks, but I think that's more to do with Animal Crossing releasing than the pandemic. Since my work schedule hasn't changed and I never go out just a ton anyway, my hobbies haven't really been affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My work schedule also hasn’t changed. Actually it’s increased slightly due to some digital requests I’m getting in light of everything. But I play a bit more now because there’s less of an excuse to go outside. We just got a masks required order. So I can’t go outside unless I have one of my clean and rewashed reusables ready to go.

Nokt Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My work schedule hasn't changed, but I am working a graveyard shift. I have oodles of time to game now since none of my friends are awake in the wee hours of the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
