I still hop on Destiny 2 to brainlessly grind a few bounties to unwind at the end of the day. My God this seasons sucks lol.

Xbox One. Call of Duty Warzone. NBA 2k, and looking forward to the new PGA 2k game coming out! Absolutely buying the pre-order!

among all videogames, my favorite is gta 5 because of the fact that I can run and drive and so on. I used to play it on my PC everyday for hours but my wife told me to reduce my gaming hours or she would shut off the internet. So, I found a way out. I've searched the internet and found this site https://gta5mobile.club/ where you can download gta 5 on both android and iOS. Long story short, I'm playing it now anywhere whenever I can and my wife has nothing to tell me about it :D

Gran Turismo 7 dropped today, my Fanatec DD Pro doesn't show up until Sunday. I'm on a PS4 and from what I have seen, the PS5 is nice but unnecessary. 

 

 

[lefthack]

So after 3 tries, I think this setup will work. Started with the Fanatec DD Pro, it died after 4 days and less than 400 miles. Got the Thrustmaster T248, it's an expensive toy. Got a Thrustmaster T300 base, Alcantera wheel and T-LCM load cell pedals and so far, so good. Still waiting on the shifter. 

 

My steering wheel situation is almost as bad as my golf clubs. 🤣

Holy F, what am I looking at here?

 

(knew I shouldnt have followed you over here from the F1 thread LOLOL)

Not since I was in my teens and have no desire to get back into them.

That's cool if you don't game but really, at the peak of the art form it plays like an interactive novel you just can't put down because you want to find out what happens next.  There are certainly worse hobbies out there.

It's actually a pretty basic setup. The cockpit is a Marada off eBay for $110, the seat is your basic racing style reclinable I got for $100, then the wheel and pedal setup was about $525. I bought the Thrustmaster T300 servo base, Ferrari 599xx Evo wheel and T-LCM load cell pedal kit. Not top shelf, but not crap, either. Actually really happy with this setup so far, but the direct drive wheel is superior. 

 

I have an F1 wheel on the way. 🤣

GTA Online.  It's my daily habit.  Level 489ish.  $480m in the bank.  

 

It is online, but I hate playing with other people.   strange?

I love playing football simulators. Video games sometimes start to get boring and I start playing something else. For example, I sometimes play chess online. Also through the site https://casinosters.com/10-minimum-deposit-casino/ I learned a lot about the top rated casino with a deposit of £ 10. The cool thing is that I don't need to spend a fortune in a new casino to get started.

I have not played online, only single player. The sole reason I bought a PS3/4 was for gta. 🤣

GTA online is HUGE.  I'm not talking about popularity (although it is).  There is no end to it.  Rockstar has pumped huge bonuses for new players.  Its' completely worth your time.

I see big bonuses all the time, I might check it out.

 

A client of my wife's worked at Sony and he laughed when he found out I had a PS3 with only one game. He gave me a stack and that got me hooked on Gran Turismo 5/6 and Skate 3. 

 

I still need to replay the GTA remasters on PS4, damn.

I'm excited for Hogwarts Legacy, Star Wars Eclipse and on mobile, Diablo Immortal just launched. Probably switching most of my daily play from Raid Shadow Legends to Immortal now.

What do you think of Immortal? I was really excited for it as I’ve been playing Diablo 3 for years. I find the extreme pay to win aspect a pretty big turn off. Haven’t played in a couple weeks but looks like with the next patch it’ll be a little friendlier for free players.

P2W really only impacts PVP and I am mostly a PVE player. I don't care about leaderboards. Its just fun to run around, kill monsters and get loot. If you P2W you just skip the fun IMO. I am still competitive in PVP and all I bought was the first $5 battle pass. Once the PVP levels sort themselves out, and all the P2W folks get into silver/gold levels, where I am at in Bronze it won't be hard to do a few PVP battles if I want to. But I like matchmaking dungeon diving. Its a free game. if you like Diablo 3, its like the same game but on your phone.  When you log off/on it is seemless and loads you back where you left off. Can't complain about a free game that is fun, and feels like a PS3 game on your phone.

Don't know if anyone here plays Rocket League, but I have about 2600 hours in the game, ranked Champion 2 in 3v3 and 2v2.  In 3v3 I'm in the top 5%, and in 2v2 I'm in the top 2.67% of all players.  Grand Champion rank is the top .53% and .92% respectively.  The very top rank is Supersonic Legend which is top 0.01% for both modes, where professional players and top amateurs reside.  

 

I feel like it's similar to golf, if you do 1 thing well, you'll be in the top 30% of all players.  If you do 2 things well, you'll be top 10%.  After that, it starts to get really tough.  You have to start maximizing your ball control to go any further which is harder than it seems.  Many days I just feel off and can't do exactly what I want. 

 

Like golf, knocking 5 or 10 strokes off your score by changing one thing just isn't going to happen anymore when you're a low handicap.  You have to start looking at fractions of strokes to subtly improve your play.

Oh man I haven't played anything since late 2020 when my PS4 died. I was going to replace it with a PS5 but they're still impossible to find in mid 2022. I'm seriously contemplating getting an Xbox X or S series since they're usually in stock just so I can play some stuff. 

[lefthack]

I've been playing the heck out of Gran Turismo. They just added  Watkins Glen and because of a few choice exploits I have a ton of cars.

Reviving and old thread:

 

PC/PS5 player here. Been doing a lot of Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, PGA 2k23, and World of Warcraft lately. Been a solid year for gaming IMO.

In 25 pages I've probably posted here in the past. Life happens but I still get down every once in a while, lifelong PC games. I still carry a moderate addiction to gaming peripherals like mice and mechanical keyboards. 

 

Somehow in ~30 years of gaming I've never grown tired of Doom, and the active modding community continues to put out some insanely creative and new content. It's all free and runs on various source ports. I really enjoyed the Quake 2 remaster that released earlier this month as well. And even though I'm not really good I love Counter Strike. 

 

Growing up our means were not plentiful but my brother and I wore the hell out of the SNES and handful of games we did have. Turns out that 3 of the games we did  have were Super Mario World, Link to the Past, and Donkey Kong Country (the whole series). Those games are among the GOATs.

Oh man, I used to be sooooo into Counter Strike, but that s*** got my blood pressure up way too much. At this point, I've given up PVP games and pretty much do either single player or cooperative games where I can more or less BS with friends on Discord and chill out. Maybe I'm just getting old haha.

[Mrgreen36]

Mario cart on 64, my 3 kids were crap talking in 5 minutes. 

 

I play my nes once a month, punch out, bases loaded.  Sometimes I get the 2600 out.
