Where are all the ngGamers?

[rustic meadow]

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who enjoys video games. What is everyone playing at the moment?

I've been playing through the Resident Evil remakes of 1-3 and am now working my way through 4. Also very much looking forward to Jedi: Survivor and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Destiny 2 takes all my gaming time 🥲

[rustic meadow]

I recently got into Destiny 2. I've dabbled before but I'm going to make my way through the Lightfall campaign this time

[indigo saffron]

Well lemme know if you need some extra gun

[rustic meadow]

Will do. I've always wanted to do a raid but it's tough to schedule when you have small kids

[candid vale]

Some sim racing here, and some mobile games mostly.

[candid vale]

Exactly. I used to play WoW and legaue of legends. Then got kids.🤣

[rustic meadow]

I've heard Gran Turismo 7 in VR is amazing

[candid vale]

I said sim racing 🤣

But yeah, gt7 gets close to sim racing i guess.

[rustic meadow]

Forgive me 😂 . I'm not much of a racing guy. Most of my racing has been in games like MarioKart, Burnout and Forza Horizon, so GT seems like a sim to me.

[indigo saffron]

MarioKart, quite the sim

[solemn tide]

I mostly play arpg's (Diablo, Path of Exile), etc.. Not feeling the latest path of exile league and Diablo 4 release is still 6 weeks away, so started a new Cyberpunk playthrough (this time with actual fps since I recently got a new GPU lol).

[indigo saffron]

Although there is a rainbow road on the eastern side of Iceland

[rustic meadow]

Oh man, I did my Cyberpunk playthrough last year and am looking forward to the DLC. I just re-redownloaded it to test out the new Overdrive ray tracing patch

[solemn tide]

I played it on release (and had a decent experience compared to many other people) but had to lower the settings to the bare minimum to be able to play, now everything on ultra is like a brand new game haha

[candid vale]

Haha no worries. Gt7 gets close these days, but more iracing, assetto corsa competizione

[rustic meadow]

I'll definitely be playing D4 this summer. So many great games dropped right after I got laid off in January so now that I just accepted an offer I'm trying to get caught back up

[candid vale]

No mobile gamers? 😭

[rustic meadow]

Does Steam Deck count?

[candid vale]

Probably more console, no ?

[indigo saffron]

I play Sudoku in the plane 🤔 (if that counts)

[rustic meadow]

Yeah, I was cheating 🤫

What's good on mobile these days?

[indigo saffron]

What's ever been good on mobile 😏

Although I feel like t-rpgs could work nice there

[candid vale]

I play pubg and fortnite

And some MMORPG pay2win

[rustic meadow]

Those both worked surprisingly well on mobile

[indigo saffron]

Are you paywinning?

[candid vale]

Im paylosing

Lolz

I also play mobile legends

A league of legends rip off

Works realy well as well.

Big esports scene

[indigo saffron]

Doesn't like those kids are getting a lot of daddy attention there cough cough

[candid vale]

Twitch streamers etc

[candid vale]

I also play Pokemon go with them!

[indigo saffron]

Oh I did play that a century ago

Then after a week made a bot

Which ruined the game for me

But oh well

[candid vale]

My son can finally use my old phone and does everything on his own

[rustic meadow]

I introduced my daughter to Breath of the Wild recently and I've been having fun guiding her through that

[indigo saffron]

(same happened with Counterstrike back in the renaissance)

BotW I've never completed, I just horseride around heheh

(not Frederik, you can't say "quit horsing around")

[candid vale]

My son even helps me with fortnite. He spots loot and enemy 🤣

[rustic meadow]

I wrote off Fortnite for a long time but recently played it with some friends and was really impressed by how fun it was

[candid vale]

Its Fun imo, but full of kids ofcourse. but it's doesnt realy get into the way

I prefer it over pubg

It's also cross platform, where pubg isn't

[rustic meadow]

Any fighting game players here? Haven't played it in a bit but I really enjoyed Guilty Gear Strive a while back and am looking forward to Street Fighter 6 this summer

[candid vale]

Uff, that goes back to Tekken 3 and Mortal Kombat. Been a long time, always enjoyed those.

[indigo saffron]

Enjoyed it but having your gf beat you by just smashing the buttons kinda ruins the fun

[rustic meadow]

haha, yeah I can relate. When I was a kid my friends and I spent hours trying to defeat M. Bison in Street Fighter 2. All the time my little brother was begging for a turn and when we finally gave him the controller he button mashed his way to victory on the first try

[candid vale]

That's what they call talent. 🤣

[indigo saffron]

Worst is when I try to smash buttons it doesn't work

[rustic meadow]

Probably because of that experience I always just thought fighting games were about button mashing. Having gotten back into them recently I realize now that there is an incredible depth and skill ceiling to them.
