What are you playing now? [2018-2021]

[Sigfried1977]

Got a Witcher 3 code for Switch. Sabre Interactive did a really impressive job here. Looks really great in handheld mode. A little soft, but actually nowhere near as bad as I expected. They certainly managed to preserve the entire look and feel of the Witcher III. Everything's still there, albeit at a lower resolution. It's certainly a much closer match for the big boy versions than the Doom and Wolfenstein ports are. And unlike Panic Button, Sabre didn't have the luxury of a framerate they could cut in half.

I didn't have much to do left in my Witcher 3 PS4 playthrough (maybe a couple monster nests left), so starting over was fine with me.

Astral Chain. So good.

Restarted Trails in the Sky SC again. Feels very retro and nice.

Also been playing Unravel 2 with the big kid, pretty good coop game!

 

[vjPiedPiper]

just started far Cry 5 on ps4. a bit meh so far, bit i need to give it a good chunk of time to really get into it properly.
Hoping i can finish it off before i jump into some newer games :0

Finished Darksiders 3 and enjoyed it a lot. The loading is the biggest negative so if you have the opportunity play it on PC.
I played it on PlayStation because it's a Plus game.

Still playing destiny 2.

This game is sop boring AND calming.

Just don't touch the PVP. It's either I'm a God of War or I'm the dumbest Guardian ever (the matchmaking is really weird)

 

[jlippo]

Started Death Stranding and it does feel quite nice.

I want to play but I'm not sure, rdr2 was a huge bore fest and one of my worst purchase.

I'm afraid death strangling gonna be like that..

If only there was a demo

 

[Sigfried1977]

For what it's worth: I thought RDR2 was a huge borefest as well and so is Death Stranding.

 

[Rootax]

Finished Judgment, really loved it.

Playing destiny 2, again.

Is this what addiction is?

Destiny 2
* boring
* flat
* no surprises

And yet it feels super duper calming.

Feels as calm as laying on a field of grass and staring at the mountain range in the distance.

Edit: a few days ago I go to the pit with a random from the100.io, and they showed frustration, suspense, fun, etc.

Me: silent almost the whole time, except saying "thanks" when revived. When I got the final loot, eh... I felt nothing.

Pokémon Shield. My first ever Pokémon game.

Yes.

Not necessarily. I've had the same with a few games. If you can't turn yourself away and you keep putting it on even when you don't really want to, it's addiction, but if it's just some down-time to relax and clear the head, empty gaming can be very useful.

That sounds more meditative than addictive.

Addiction comes around if something becomes compulsive and something you cannot live without or stop doing...usually at the expense of other far more important things. For example, if you started calling in sick to work because you just HAVE to play the game. Or if you started to cancel engagements with friends and family because you HAVE to play the game.

I completely stopped playing MMORPGs because I realized that it was an addiction. I'd forget to eat. I'd forgo sleep. I'd forget that I was supposed to meet up with friends or family. Often I'd choose the game over important occasions with friends and family. Basically I was causing harm to myself and those that knew me in order to play them.

Not healthy.

Thank you, yeah I think it's feels more "zen".

Weird. There's should be nothing "zen" in Destiny, it's full of violence.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Your brain just switches off. I've had the same with Diablo 3 although eventually it became too repetitive and boring. The game provides a focus away form other things. I sometimes find if I'm stuck on a coding problem I'm having trouble processing, a break playing something simple (Awesomenauts at the moment) can loosen the cogs and make the solution appear quite simply upon my return. Although sometimes I find those 'breaks' just become procrastination

Just finished Superliminal and really enjoyed it! A small development team and a lot of love went in to that game, and at the end I smiled and enjoyed watching the credits roll.

It honestly reminded me of Portal in a "it's something different, and it's grabbing me without screaming at me" type of thing, I got hooked fast.

Not a long game, but definitely worth a look at. Highly recommended.
