What game(s) are you playing right now?

It took me under 50 hours to finish the main storyline of Hogwarts Legacy and I was doing a lot of exploring, wandering and side quests. I still have side quests and other things to finish up before the game is 100% complete. I'll probably finish this character off then start another character and play it differently.

It’s still impressive imo. That’s one of those games that always looks good no matter how many incredible looking modern games you’ve played since the last time you played it.

So I sat down & played the first level. I agree, it still looks good to this day. One of those rare games from the early (in the grand scheme of things, anyway) 3D days that actually aged well visually. That's one of the reasons I have a soft spot for the Gamecube. Many of those games aged fairly well, some controls aside.

Breath of the Wild on the Wii U...this game is an absolute treasure.

[Jonnydread]

It's an experience. I've been meaning to go back and finish the game, but I'm in that current state of "playing 12 different games and scared to finish any of them"

[Hobbes]

Ah yes. I never finished FF7 in high school and the trend has continued.

[Jonnydread]

Nintendo just dropped Metroid Fusion on the GBA "app". I've already sunk a few hours in, love this game.

I can’t wait for Star Wars Jedi Survivor it looks sick!

Been playing Jurrasic wWorld Evolution 2 lately. Going through all the story modes and just finished the 3rd movie's story.

With the Resident Evil 4 remake on the horizon I endugled this past weekend to playing and beating the campaign one last time before I inevitably never play the original due to how nice and new the remake will be

[Jonnydread]

What'cha buying... stranger?

[glaman5266]

I hear ya on that. I played through Metroid Prime about a year ago, so I managed to get my last run in before the remaster came out. I'll likely never go back.

My older boy got Pokemon Scarlet for his birthday. I was against playing it or even buying it (you don't reward bad development/programming, which there's plenty of evidence of), but he wanted it & got it... And I gave it a go. I am 7 or 8 hours in & I feel I've played enough to comfortably say that this isn't well optimized, programmed or designed. The performance is outright poor & it's art design pales in comparison to Pokemon Legends Arceus, which has it's own issues to begin with. And the menuing! Why does every single button HAVE to do something? I'm doing the whole hunt-and-peck routine just to open the damn Pokedex. Any "shortcuts" they implemented are in non-intuitive locations. RBY had it right from the get-go over 25 years ago- just hit the start button! If the menuing wasn't so messy & non-intuitive I might even be able to overlook some of the performance issues. And that's not even getting into menu loading times & their visual discrepancies.

I want to experience it. I want to see the new locales & different challenges. But I'm done with the game until they can fix the massive performance issues, which I doubt will happen in this Pokemon release cycle.

I’ve been on an NES kick lately. Played Wrath Of The Black Manta, Guardian Legend & Kid Niki Radical Ninja the last 2 or 3 weeks. I just bought Little Nemo The Dream Master today. I don’t recall ever playing this one as a kid but it’s a Capcom game & they rarely made a stinker back then so I’m looking forward to playing it.

[BrickHaus]

I have hours into kirbys dreamland. Loved that game. The ability to steal others abilities was a great concept to me as a kid.

[homerj]

It’s still a fun mechanic. Half the fun of Forgotten Land was seeing what new abilities they came up with.

[glaman5266]

I played a bit of Kirby's Dreamland 2 when that hit the Game Boy list. I played it years ago as a kid & it still feels great to play now. Felt like a kid again.

I've been playing minecraft dungeons with my 6yo daughter.... she said she plays it with her uncle and it was free on playstation plus last month, so I grabbed it. it's fine. now that she's getting better at reading I see me playing more video games with her.

[Hobbes]

I played that with my son. He was hard carrying my peasant character

[warbosschoppa]

Counter Strike, it's always just Counter Strike.

[Chuck E Ducky]

If anyone plays Apex I'm looking for chill regulars. DuckDuckChuck I'm on Discord and Teams.gg under the same name.

Apex seems to be my default go to as its well balanced, skill based, and difficult. I bounce between gold and silver in ranked but don't care about ranked just having fun.

[BLachance75]

I started playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor last night. I only got about 30 min in but I'm into it so far.

[Redragoon]

Finished Cyberpunk 2077 (great game after the patches) and Psychonauts 2 (fun platformer).

Started playing Legend of Dragoon (old PS1 game I never finished) that was on PS store.

Have been playing Hunt: Showdown for multiplayer with friends.
For anyone who enjoys woodsball or pump play, this game has that feel and pace. Turn of the 20th century firearms with old sights and slow fire rates. Essentially cowboy demon hunters in the swamps of Louisiana and Deserts of the Southwest. Teams of 1-3 search an area for a big demon to kill/banish while other teams of players hunt as well. Never more than 12 players in a game.
Your hunter earns levels, but has permadeath. Your account level determines your available gear selection for the hunters. Prestige once you hit 100 to get a legendary cosmetic skin and start over from the bottom. Steep learning curve, but very fun to play. Complete opposite experience of the CoD multiplayer games. lol

[glaman5266]

Legend of Dragoon is on my personal top 5 games list. The story is one of the most memorable I've ever experienced in a video game.

We bought my daughter Hogwarts Legacy for her birthday in April. She got stuck on the first real battle (troll in Hogsmead). So I started so that I could learn the controls to help her. She's still stuck, and I'm a level 20....
