Current Events > What game were you playing in 2020 when the pandemic hit?

(+) Yeah! (+)

MGS3 HD on the Vita

Edit: nevermind it wasn't hades cause I got that on switch in September. Damn I can't remember what I was playing at the time.

Oxygen Not Included IIRC

Animal Crossing New Horizons

Although the pandemic was already going just not in full shut down yet.

Animal Crossing.

civilization 5

I remember when the travel ban from Europe was implemented in March, I was in Norway. We got stuck in London for a few days until we could get a flight to NY for the screening.

When we finally got back, I remember I played Doom Eternal and my wife played Animal Crossing

Prolly re7

Red Dead Redemption 2

Played it in first person mode with my headphones plugged in to the controller.

Super immersive and the escape I needed

Animal Crossing, Doom Eternal, FF7R

Can't exactly remember. But in summer I played Xenoblade

Catherine: Full Body
Final Fantasy V
The Legend of Zelda
Chrono Trigger
Persona 5 Royal

Animal Crossing
Final Fantasy VII:R
Persona 5 R
Minecraft

COD Warzone. All day, from the time when getting up, until i crashed

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

I think lockdown started for me the same month when P5R and Doom Eternal released. Before that I have no clue.

I don't really remember. I just remember I finally got around to playing Divinity OS 2 after the pandemic had hit.

Spyro 3 remastered.

Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal when they came out. I remember those came out the first day I started working from home.

Then it was The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima. I think I also played Hades and Slay the Spire around that time.

nioh 2

Sniper Elite 3

FF14, maybe? I'm sure there was something else, but that took up a long stretch

MGS2 on Vita, shits good

I dont remember, but I did start Kingdom Come: Deliverance shortly after. Put like 130 hours in over a few weeks.

Literally just started Death Stranding.

Played a few games that just so happened to have some parallels to the state of the world around then.

Terraria

Ys VIII and Grandia HD Collection, both on Switch

I think it came out the day my job got shut down. I wasn't mad

Witcher 3

I remember playing Doom Eternal and Persona 5 Royal during the really early days of it.

Yup, I picked up nioh 2 right as stuff started getting bad. I definitely got my money's worth out of the game. Think I logged about 1600 hours into the game.

I honestly dont remember. I know I had finished Pokmon Sword/Shield right before it, so I sort of think it happened right when I was switching games.

I think I started playing random ports of stuff on my Switch until Borderlands 2 was out.

Payday 2
I started picking the No Mercy hospital heist more as a way of more easily bringing up the pandemic in chat. Helps that it has either the game's best song or at least top 3.

Slay the Spire

Final Fantasy 14, leading into Animal Crossing, leading into FF7 Remake

Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and ACNH

Life is Strange 2. I didnt get to finish playing it because I was at the part where they were living with hippies and working on a marijuana farm and I felt awkward playing that with my hyper religious family around 24/7

To add to mine, I distinctly remember going through Madarame's (P5R) dungeon and the whole time just thinking about how bad it may get, lol.

Kingdom Come Deliverance, I think.

Playing this right now at that very part.

What month did the pandemic hit?

Yakuza 0

What month did the pandemic hit?

Well there were topics here around Jan/Feb following the cases in China if you wanna count that but it was March where the lockdowns kicked in hard in the west.

I don't know exactly, probably just replaying stuff waiting for April for FFVII Remake, Trials of Mana, and Streets of Rage 4.

yet another abandoned DQ7 run

This, though I still play watch dogs and GTA five and SA on the regular, all with mods, ofc.
