What are your favorite games? What are you currently playing?

I just picked up Octopath Traveler for the Switch. I'm hoping that it helps keep me occupied for a few weeks.

Got a modded SNES mini this past week, has NES and SNES games on it. Currently playing Zelda a Link to the Past - pissed I missed this as a kid.

Have spent most of the weekend playing Mike Tysons Punch Out, Super Punch Out, Street Fighter, Double Dragon, Mario. 1st weekend of COVID-19 quarantine going well, will be ok with a few more.

How do you like it? After The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda game. I played through it late last year for probably the sixth or seventh time and in my opinion it's only gotten better over the years.

I missed out on Link's Awakening as a kid (before the Switch Lite, I never had a Game Boy or any other hand-held console), but a friend who's a big fan of it recently talked me into playing the recent remake. It's very similar to A Link to the Past (which isn't surprising, since it started out as a port of that game) so I enjoyed it a lot.

I have a PS4. It's the first time I've had a system in a few years. I've just been enjoying the PS+ games. Been playing Bioshock and Uncharted

Awesome so far, as a kid I was all about fighting and sports games in the SNES era so I'm glad I picked this up to play some stuff I missed out on. I just got to the part where you change worlds so that seems like a good stopping point for the day, look forward to playing it more.

I finally sat down in my son's iRacing setup yesterday. It's much harder than I thought it would be. Pedals and shifter feel real, steering wheel is kinda close. Other than not having a 360° view it's pretty realistic. Kinda hard to get a sense of the speed with your surroundings being static.

Playing NBA2K20.

Created an expansion team in Louisville. Named them the Kentucky Colonels. Blue and white unis.

PG: Fox/Rondo/Ullis
SG: Herro/Knight/Meeks
SF: Knox/Miller
PF: Washington/Patterson
C: Bam/WCS/Humphries (13th man, league minium)

I picked mostly younger guys for the cheaper contracts and upside.

.

I think "A Link to the Past" is my favorite game of all time. Admittedly I'm not nearly into gaming like I was in my youth. I'm catching up on games I've missed out on the last 10 years.

I'll probably get it after I finish with Octopath in a few months (assuming civilization's still around at that time ;) ). It's either Breath of the Wild or Doom Eternal.

Still have my Atari from the early 80’s. Still works. Showed my kids astroids on day. They were in shock how basic it was.

lucky! I don’t have the original, just have the console with all the games. I just want a joystick and a button, then I’m good.

It is hard to say which game is the best for me, but most of the time I play Counter Strike Global Offensive. Recently, I bought a new gaming Omen and I am very happy about this thing. The cause that I can't decide which game is the best for me, is that I started to download every game that I find and it is hard to decide which is the best. Also, I started to improve my skill and I learned how to sell csgo skins. Last week I made around $500 on skins and that was great, if you want to know where I am selling them write me a dm.

The Last of Us 2 is the best game I’ve ever played. Currently about 30 hours into it though. Insanely long story. 2nd best is The Last of Us 1.

Planning to get the Red Dead Redemption games soon, Days Gone, and the Far Crys also.

Why don’t ya just turn off trade rules and trade away all your expansion draft picks to make a super team.

I played an 82 game season with Wall, Booker, Murray, Davis, Towns, Cousins, Adebayo, Bledsoe, MKG, Rondo, Fox, Randle, and Kanter on superstar level. Went 82-0. Averaged 140 a game.

Apex Legends mostly. Every now and then I hop on Cities:Skyline.

I really wish Red Dead 2 online was better. Probably the best campaign I've ever played. But the online is a joke. If you could combine Red Dead 2 campaign with Red Dead 1 online you would have a great game. What a shame. Rockstar blew it big time.

Fall Guys is dumb fun but also super frustrating. It lures you in with the cutsy images, then the next thing you know you're fighting with 59 other people for the crown.

Great drunk game. Play with friends. You will scream at your monitor.

I collect video games and consoles. While I think Last of Us 2 was phenomenal, I prefer the first installment.

Classic favorites are metal gear, resident evil series . MGS 3 Snake Eater should be in any G.O.A.T. conversation.

Currently playing Ghost of Tsushima. Great so far. Also bounce to Bloodborne and Dark Souls series every so often.

I've been really digging a lot of the old Doom Mods and Build Engine games. Easy, quick, and you can play for an hour or two and not get sucked in.

But, I'm thinking about the new Xbox. It's either that or upgrading my GTX 1060 3gig card, that's likely going to cost near what the new Xbox will.

******* Fall Guys, god damn that game.

What a genius concept. Let's develop a game that costs next to nothing, throw some levels in, profit, and call it a day.

I still HATE the tail games. people snipe my tail from like 10 feet away and it infuriates me.

Oh yeah, the tail games and the team games. The latency and input lag is ***. There is a lot of luck and rng involved.

Also, the griefing. People just grabbing so you fall off or standing in the way. It was fun for a month, don't think I'll be playing much going forward.

Sad to say that I haven't been playing much of anything on console lately. Not much out there on Xbox that really interests me that I haven't already played. I didn't even get the last COD game (had everyone of them before that) and not sure if I will get this year's version. Seems like more and more games want to go toward the battle royale style of play that I hate.

I need some more games like Diablo and Tomb Raider to get me interested again. Maybe even a good fps that doesn't feel like everyone of them before it. I don't like futuristic combat and unfortunately I don't know if they can make a fps with boots on the ground that feels different. At 47 I might have finally started to outgrow them after like 35 years of investment in it.
