I haven't stopped playing Overwatch since it came out, still getting on with friends 2 or 3 nights a week and putting in a few hours (and I'm still awful lol). I also still log on to Battlefield 1943 from time to time to get in a few matches.

I also collect retro games so there is a good bit of time there. If anything I've struggled to find new games that I'd want to play more than something older and cheaper. I just picked up Dark Messiah for like 2 bucks and its amazing, hard to justify a $60-70 purchase when you can find deals like that on older but still great games.

I saw a lot of the playtime goes to still updated online games like Fortnite and Apex, but I wonder if part of it is that as time goes on there is a bigger pool of games to play. Sure there will always be cutting edge graphics and gameplay, but many people wouldnt be able to tell which indie dropped in 2010 and which dropped in 2024.

I've been replaying red dead 2 which turns 6 this year :P

Replaying hollow knight ahead of the imminent release of silk song. It’s so close that I can taste copper.

Damn, as desperate as we elden ring fans were for dlc, I can only imagine and pour one out for what hollow knight fans are going through. Hoping you guys get a release date soon!

Apparently, for me, the better question is, "Which games newer than 6 years are you playing?" It turns out I dont play many new games, just Elden Ring and Jedi Fallen Order ( which is 5 years old even). Deep rock might squeeze in there, but it just turned 6 years old

Battlefield 3 or 4 and Halo MCC. Also Skullgirls.

Titanfall 2

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I'm never not playing Skullgirls. Somehow still going, Marie DLC just dropped last week.

Took about a decade off gaming and Needed some "new" games in the pandemic. Bought some new games last year, Skyrim ultimate everything in a bundle, also bought Fallout 3-new Vegas bundles. Skyrim was awesome and I played it for about a year, FO 3 was ok, loving 4, heard New Vegas is the best.

Other than that I play super old school, emulator games for SNES, N64 when I have a bit of time.

I have a weird philosophy where I don't try things until they're about 10 years old, games, TV shows, etc. I figure I am pretty much guaranteed an epic experience if people are still talking about it at that point.

Gran Turismo 4

Victoria 2. I like 3, but I've got a heavily modded megacampaign with my friends going and I don't know 3 well enough to tweak it yet. 2 is still a great game.

Also Assetto Corsa. Competizione looks fun but I like driving stuff other than GT cars

Software Inc (Early access since 2015) Raft (EA since 2018, full release 2022)

just finished another solid bloodborne playthrough, gotta love the logarius wheel and whirligig saw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

RDR2 and Factorio

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Almost exclusively Final Fantasy 14 with some Warframe and a smattering of older puzzle games.

Rocket League. I probably play a solid 3 hours of that every single week, and have done for the last two years. Before those two years I probably played a solid 7-8 hours a week. It's my forever game, the game I play when I'm bored, the game I play when I've got a lot on my mind and just want to fill the void in my head with something safe and easy.

MHW and Warframe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Star Wars the old republic.

I played the absolute FUDGE out of KoToR back in the day, and played SWTOR at launch. But coming back to it after a decade plus just lets me enjoy the story. I won't say its a perfect MMO, because its just not. But oh gawd does the story get good!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Long Dark, came out of early access in 2017, so I got the game earlier than that and it still has updates.

Dishonered 1 and 2, a playthrough every year, Witcher 3, Mad Max, MGS V, Prey, theres tons of good games to play a second, third or yearly playthrough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The open world Mad Max? That game is so underrated. I love using the grappling hook

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Rocket League has been a big one for me recently. But I've actually been making an effort to play new stuff besides that, like Alan Wake 1&2, Cyberpunk, and Baldur's Gate 3.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

GZDoom! It just doesn't get boring to shoot demons for half an hour. I'm playing Volatile Material and Doom Infinite at the moment.
