Anyone Play Video Games?

[danimalia]

I was just curious if any members liked to play games... I've had an off and on interest since I was a kid, but for a long time I would mostly just play ports games or the occasional GTA or whatever. But lately, I've been playing a fair amount of RPGs, which I never would have imagined myself playing. It started out with actions RPGs like Elder Scrolls and The Witcher 3, but I just finished Persona 5 a few weeks ago. A Japanese RPG of all things. Turn-based, even! I actually loved it. Right now, I'm playing Diablo III, which I know is an old game, but it's new to me. I've always been a console guy, so I play the PS4 versions of the games I play.

What about you guys? What are you guys playing, if anything?

Good question. I've wondered the same. I'm an Xbox. I spend most time in Destiny 2 and RPGs, now mainly Red Dead 2 and Skyrim. I need to replay Witcher 3. Next on my list is Farming Simulator and Hunter: Call of the Wild.

I'm a former hardcore MMORPG player. My late adolescence was trapped in front of a PC instead of playing sports and chasing girls. Then alcohol came into the picture, and girls.

Now that I'm married and sober video games are quite the treat. I mostly console game now as PCs are costly to maintain and require more effort/time.

I too loved Witcher 3. The Spiderman game was rad, Assassin's Creed Odyssey was one of the best games I've ever played in a series that had gotten rather stale (to me). God of War 4 was amazing. Horizon: Zero Dawn was gorgeous. Uncharted Series is the best Indiana Jones meets die hard sim ever.

I picked up kingdom hearts 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 on Cyber Monday to try out after I finish the First Law trilogy of books.

I’ve spent some significant time in Skyrim (ES5) for sure! I love Red Dead Redemption I & II. I need to buy the 2nd one for the PC but I’ve got a woeful case of TAD. Oh and I really enjoy the GTA series also. Great games.

One that I love to open the ‘Valve’ and blow off steam with is Left4Dead 2. It’s showing some age but I still get into it every few months. Good mindless shooter!

Saving up for a Nintendo switch, just so i can play the Untitled goose game. Other than that, CoD mobile is amazing

It has been awhile but FPS shooter is my thing.
Used to be a mod in a server for Call of Duty Modern Warfare series which is where my username came from. Now I'm waiting expectantly for the new Doom installment. It looks like so much fun! I mean the idea that you can slay demons instead of being fearful of them gets me excited every time.

Lots of great games mentioned here. Skyrim is probably one of the ones which has stuck around the longest for me. I bounce around though. I also have Diablo III Ultimate Evil on my ps3. Gran Turismo games are fun too. Wolfenstein is for when you want to really tear it up but the plot is pretty twisted. Sometimes I crack out the snes or n64. There are some real classics on those old consoles. Almost 30 years since it launched and I finally unlocked the secret levels on Super Mario World LOL

Yes. I loved God of War. Good story and maybe the most enjoyable combat I've ever experienced in a game. Any more suggestions that have satisfying combat like that? I enjoyed the last two AC games, Odyssey and Origins as well. Odyssey was the better game, but I think I preferred the protagonist Bayek in Origins to either choice in Odyssey. I've actually never played any Uncharted. But probably time for me to give one a try. Same with Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Always been a fascination of mine. Been into computer games since getting my first computer back in AD 1993.

I mostly play oldies, though. The growing prevalence of satanic, woke, and propagandistic content in games is very off-putting. I like RPGs the most, and unfortunately, those are the most polluted by those things.

Any BF members play Sea Dogs? ?

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a Switch, but I guess they don't have Virtual Console or a way to play the classics? I borrowed my brother's old Wii for a while 2 years ago or so just to play a lot of those old games and God, they're great.

My youngest son told me he saw a tobacco pipe somewhere in RDR2! He said he tried to steal it / add it to his inventory so he could show it to me but the game wouldn’t let him.

I’m going to be on the lookout for a pipe when I get it. It’d be cool if you could set up Arthur Morgan with a ‘functioning’ pipe in-game!

 

[derhammer]

And of course, waiting patiently for Half-life 3 to be released as well but maybe zombie apocalypse will happen first before it happens

Dominoes, Bridge, and Spite and Malice, a two handed cutthroat game of cards.

I remember playing Sid Meier’s Pirates back in the day. Having read O’Brian’s “Master and Commander” and some of Lambdin’s Alan Lewrie books I just had to get it. Plus, it was a Sid Meier game!

Anyone remember the Ultima series back in the day? Great games but took forever to load. I remember the huge dungeon crawl in Ultima Underworld. Fantastic.

I LOVE Bridge. I’d get my arse handed to me these days IRL unless I boned up quite a bit, but that’s a fantastic card game! I had a version of it on the PC for a number of years.

I played Uncharted and felt the mechanics were clunky. Good game though. Odyssey was great as well. But my favorite Assassins Creed game is still Black Flag. Pirates, pipes, sailing, great stuff. And make sure to find the sea shanty songs as you go. Some are quite...well I still sing them to myself from time to time. Too bad we didn't sing sea shanties when I sailed the Atlantic. Would have been more fun. Also wished I would've brought my pipe.

Pipes are in The Witcher 3 when you loot from houses and the like. I don't remember the pipe in RDR2, but you can definitely smoke cigars and cigarettes, which generally consists of whipping one out, lighting it, taking a single puff and pitching it. It's pretty funny. Naturally, I did it a lot.

Zelda Zelda Zelda...if you get the switch get Breath of the Wild. One of the best games I've played. And I spent some time smoking a pipe playing the Wii port of Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, all good.

For JRPG, Eternal Sonata is beautiful. Sound, images, story, all of it. I was also in the middle of Tales of Vesperia and life happened and stopped. Would love to pick that one back up! Highly recommend both of those!

Any Cribbage? I'm always up for a game.

Ether One Redux has plenty of pipes laying around.

Tobacco is also shamelessly portrayed in Fallout 3. Oblivion has tobacco too, but you can't smoke it.
