Title: What are you playing? - 5/12/2020
Post by: Dave Gray on May 12, 2020, 12:49:30 pm
Fortnite - Always.

Borderlands 3 - I was kind fed up with this game and rushing to complete the story so I could be done with it.  Strangely, the leveling is more fun after the game is over, so I like it more than I did when I was playing the story mode.  It's what I call "grocery-listing" though.  ...a series of endless fetch quest, where you feel like you work for Instacart.  I can't recommend the game, really.  It's buggy, but it's a way to get 4 friends online.

World War Z - Got this on GamePass Ultimate.  It's Left 4 Dead.  I like it, but I'm not sure I'm willing to put in the hours of leveling to play it at harder levels, once I've played through the scenarios on the easy mode.  It's impossibly hard to play and requires you to grind it out by leveling up your character to be good.

Untitled Goose Game - More fun that it sounds...also on Gamepass Ultimate.  You're a goose and you just go around acting like an asshole...stealing people's stuff, opening their gates, turning on their hoses, etc.  You have a list of random things to accomplish and it's like a puzzle.  You have to "get the gardener wet", for example.  You can steal his trowel, put it near the sprinkler to lure him, and then turn on the sprinkler.  Or you can steal the trowel and throw it in the lake so he has to go get it.  There are lots of little A to B to C puzzles that are fun.

Call of Duty: Warzone - I've downloaded this but not played it yet.  As I understand it, it's CoD Battle Royale.  I have not traditionally been into CoD multiplayer and my Battle Royale dance-card is full with Fortnite, but my friends and my family both are trying to get me on there, so I am giving it a shot.

Minit - Small game on XBOX Gamepass Ultimate.  It's a top down game, like the OG Zelda, where you have one minite to play before the board resets and you die.  It's a puzzle game.  If you accomplish tasks within the minute, they stay accomplished.  So, you work in small increments.  It's a neat concept.

GTA5 - this game is still great after 5+ years.  So much to do in the sandbox and they keep adding more things.  I just bought a nightclub and now it opens up a series of new missions to maintain the nightclub and make it profitable

Gears of War 5 - I will always love the Gears games but multiplayer has evolved to a point where I'm no longer useful.  I need to practice, I think.

Is GTA5 massively multiplayer?   Like...what exactly are you doing, mission-wise?  Is it co-op or single player?

Meanwhile, in the old fogies section... I am still playing Words with Friends, poker and backgammon. I occasionally still play an online game of Risk even. ;)

Classic WoW, Diablo III and occasionally Destiny 2.

yes, i ONLY play multiplayer.  can be co-op or solo, depending on what you want.  there's a large co-op game mode but its hard to team up with strangers.  essentially, you create a character and evolve from small-time car thief to CEO of a criminal empire by doing missions, and accumulating money.  Of course the public lobbies are chock-full of trolls who just like to kill other players like a endless deathmatch, but the map is big enough that you can get stuff done without coming into contact with them usually.  And then other times you want to steal a fighter jet from the army base and use it to murder the trolls.  It can go either way... ;) That's why its so fun.

Classic WoW exclusively since I beat PS4 Spider-Man (one of the better games I've played period).  I just bought an external HD for my PS4, so there are a ton of games I have in my library that I've never played that I plan on playing now.  Witcher 3 I didn't give a proper shot, so I'll try it again, Bloodborne and maybe Elder Scroll Online again since I bought an expansion and never played it.  I was never into God of War too much, so maybe it too.

^ Bloodborne is one of my favorites. Really want to find the runs to finish it up. I haven't quite finished Dark Souls 3, either, which is also a favorite of mine.

My WoW subscription just ended yesterday, I'm not going to renew it for now.  Time to give some other games a shot.

I'd highly recommend a USB gaming controller man.  I couldn't imagine trying to do the precision movements from this game with a keyboard and mouse.

You can plug and play Xbox or PS4 controllers via USB into a PC and use them.  I used my PS4 controller to play GTA just the other night.  However, if you want to do bluetooth with the PS4 controller, I think you have to download some additional software and jump through some hoops though.  Xbox controller I think connects right away because both are Microsoft.

So I'm playing Blackflag. Anybody familiar with it? I've been trying to get into Newbone. I can't. it's too heavily guarded. Any tips or tricks?
on the phone I'm playing this really cool retro football game called Retro Bowl. It's like the old Tecmo Bowl Nintendo game.  Also on the phone Tap Sports Baseball and 1945. Also just downloaded a Rugby Nations 19 that I haven't tried yet. Looks promising though.
