Hello Forum!
Are there any Gamers in this Forum? I am a Gamer.
Recently I played "The last of Us Part 2" on PS4 Pro. For me, this was an awesome game and one of the best stories I every played. The Gunplay and Melee-action was jaw dropping, the Leveldesign stunning, and the character-presentation 100% believably. Graphics: awesome.
I also played Ghost Recon Breakpoint (and before that G. R. Wildlands) on PC. Loved both Games. And it also made a lot of fun, playing these games with some friends in coop-mode.
I“m looking forward to play the new Flight Simulator 2020. Release: August, 18th.
Funny thing:
Being a 3d-Modeler/architectural draftsman, I always take a lot of time just to examine the Level-Design, the Buildings and Interiors.
Quite stunning in these days, how good those things are made and visually presented.
Iāve mostly been into multiplayer stuff lately. Valorant and CS: GO take up much of my time. I got hooked on CS: GO again after a break, and now Iām back grinding for skins and joking around in competitive matches. I also get what you mean about level design. Sometimes, I walk around maps admiring the details, especially in newer titles.
Funny thing, I started flipping CS: GO skins recently for quick bucks. I found this site where you can instantly sell CS: GO skins and get paid to PayPal or crypto. Check it here:https://skinomat.com/
Not really a gamer but I use a vr headset for my work daily and there are a few nice vr games out there so after work hours I sometimes play a game. My absolute favourites half life and hl alyx. The first because of nostalgia and alyx because itās still the best vr game imho
deep rock galactic from time to time, some casual arcade / roguelilke games to take the edge off⦠and sometimes Iāll reinstall warhammer total war 3 or bannerlords 2 for a week or two, a campaign or two. and Iām 2 DLCs behind in age of empire 2.
also right now I lower my anger by killing zombies in dead island 2. itās that or punching my screen when I see the news
and if Iām down⦠trombone champ. no kidding, itās hard to feel down when playing ska with a mouse.
I spent far far far too many hours around 37 years ago mastering DMA Designās Bloodmoney on an Amiga 500 which was bloody difficult . I forgot about that game until my son gave me a version recently that emulates it perfectly on a PC using the XBox controller instead of a joystick. I can still beat levels 1 & 2 out of 4 which is great because my son, who is a keen gamer, cannot even complete level 1 which really annoys him
I can send anybody the folder if they use a PC, have an XBox controller and have a bit of time to practice
I downloaded howarts legacy like a year ago, I played for 30 mins and I liked it a lot, that was the last time I played anything. I was thinking on getting a switch or a hand held pc like the ROG Ally, but I would probably use it for a week and Iāll forget about it. If my son was older I could probably play EAFC with him but heās just 2yo and my wife doesnāt like video games, I miss 2007, that was the last year I really enjoyed and spent a lot of time playing with my PS2, God of War 1 and 2 were my favorite games.
I would highly recommend the Steam Deck. And if you donāt play games on it much get a stand for it put it by your PC and watch films/youtube on it while you work. its basically a micro pc with a built in games controller and trackpads.
When I was single, had my own place, a PS2/3 connected to a projector giving me a huge screen in front of a leather recliner and surrounded by a selection speakers, I used to love gaming.
But that was a long time ago. Now Iām married with kids and Iām not allowed to do fun things like that. Itās all decorating, housework, dog walking and all the grown up things that steal my time.
That being said, a few years ago I bought a Raspberry Pi and loaded it up for retro gaming. The idea was to build my own arcade cabinet from scratch. I got as far as wiring up a mini button and joystick rig (drawn up on Sketchup) to emulate an old cabinet and had a good few sessions on some classics from the 80ās and 90s plugged directly in to the lounge TV.
I soon realised we currently lack the space at home to put a full size cabinet so the project has been shelved until Kid no.1 moves out - hopefully in the next year or so.
Totally agree with you on The Last of Us Part 2 that game hit hard emotionally and visually. The melee combat felt intense, and the level design was on another level. Naughty Dog really knows how to craft an immersive world.
Also cool that youāre into Ghost Recon had a blast with Breakpoint too especially in co-op. Coordinating with friends and pulling off stealth missions or watching them fall apart is always a good time.
As for Flight Simulator 2020 not tried yet, but will try soon! Heard the visuals are breath taking, especially from a design/architectural perspective. I also like creative games easy to play and you enjoy as well what you thinkā¦
I started playing CS2 recently. I usually run with friends in comp, and we mess around a bit on community servers when weāre not feeling too serious.
