Current Events > WTF are you currently playing, CE?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What vidya games currently occupy your free time, and how's that going for you?

I've recently started playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, even though that's been around for quite a few years now.

Usually I stay away from MMORPGs, though I've decided to give it a shot, since you can pretty much solo almost everything if you wish and ignore the multiplayer aspect, and you don't necessarily have to subscribe to play the game.
Having a jolly good time with it so far.

This... is something that I wish I was aware of before now. Might make me try it.

Anyways, playing the fuck out of Boneworks and still having a blast stabbing zombies in the head with knives or bashing them in the side of the head with a frying pan as I run by them. Glad the developers were diligent in pushing VR forward.

Playing Tenchu 2 and Guardian's Crusade for the nostalgia.

While TOR has basically always been a single player game masquerading as an MMO, nowadays they buffed the NPC player companions up to the level where you probably have to try to die even as you solo heroic quests.

skate 3 is still my main go-to chill out game. i've been trying to figure out how to do backflips consistently for 10 years

---

spiritfarer, yuppie psycho, rogue legacy 2

---

Replaying Mass Effect 3, though I have been looking for something else, since I find I've mostly been replaying the same dozen games over the past few years.
I've looked up a few SWTOR videos and articles. Might give that I try, if it's indeed possible to have a single-player experience. Guess I have nothing to lose if I can play it for free, right?

---

Beat Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 recently and bout 10 hours into Trails in the Sky

---

I've been doing Yakuza 0. Also just got finished doing a Yakuza 2 Let's Play and started doing a Ghost of Tsushima one on my YT.

---

path of exile. trying to get some stuff for standard before harvest crafting goes away.

planning to take it easier next league. hopefully it's a mechanic i can ignore a little more than usual. I want to put in some serious work on one of my own projects before I'm forced to go back to working for someone else.

I downloaded SWTOR recently and kind of enjoyed it, went with a Smuggler for the Rebels or... whatever the ... not darkside guys are called. It's kind of cool how they have the dialogue options and you can actually spec into light or dark side, it's a nice change of pace from other MMOs where you're either pigeonholed into a certain role/archetype based on the faction you join or the faction doesn't really mean anything outside of PVP.

And the combat's a little awkward but still more engaging than most MMOs with being able to take cover and everything >_>.

Besides that, been playing a mix of Runescape, Fall Guys, Baldur's Gate and FFXIV...

---

Recently finished up Far Cry 5. It wasn't bad, mc should not have been a silent protagonist and the story is largely bad but it was fun to play.

Playing The Surge 2 now, it's interesting so far and I like the directional parries.

---

Lilycle Rainbow Stage
---

You should sub to SWTOR for one month, you'll get preferred status instead of F2P which has a few perks and all of the current expansions are unlocked permanently, not just until the sub ends.

---

GTA Online, but with empty public servers to allow me to build up and sell businesses.

---

atelier shallie: alchemists of the dusk sea (the last in the dusk series).
fall guys (until i get lvl 40 for season 1).
---

Nothing at all atm. Steam says I've put 1 hour in the last two weeks and that was just farting around in Dark Souls 3.

---

Nothing right now as I've been super busy this week, but at the weekend I might play something, I'll let you know if this topic is still around by then!

it's great, but you might want to look up the things that are missable unless you intend to do new game +

---

I've been playing The Old Republic too and Crusader Kings 2 with After the End fan fork mod while I wait for 3 to come out.

---

Finished Alan Wake last weekend, american nightmare last night, and I'll be playing the control dlc featuring alan wake tomorrow

---

Death Stranding on PC.
---

Playing through Doom 2. I never played this one when I was a kid, so a lot of these levels are completely brand new to me. I gotta say though, I don't like it as much as the first one. There are too many "gotcha" moments where they just suddenly surprise you with a million dudes on all sides and it gets old. Also the city sections are visually some of the worst looking urban levels I've ever seen in a game, lol

---

---

Enjoying SWTOR a lot so far, more than I expected. Especially since the storytelling isn't nearly as good as KOTOR 1 & 2, but still good enough. I really like how much there is to do, explore, customize and interact with.
Watching those tutorial vids from Swtorista helped a lot:

Still playing free-to-play, but I'll probably subscribe for at least one month once I run into significant restrictions.

You should definitely play the Citadel DLC for ME3. That's one of the few DLCs that isn't just a mediocre cash grab, but it's pretty big, challenging and really enjoyable. Aside from the main quest there's also a bunch of sidequests, minigames and a lot of the game poking fun at itself.

see sig.

enjoying Judgment quite a bit. it's basically Yakuza with a different character (but the story still heavily involves the Yakuza).

SoR4 is still keeping my attention. still sorta struggle on 'Hardest', haven't beaten stage 12 yet. occasionally struggle on earlier stages too.


---

Final Fantasy XIV
Skyrim SE
Fallout 4

with some GTA5 and Dark Souls II on the side

---

Spiritfarer

---

I'm about to finish 999 and move on to Titanfall 2

On the side I'm playing Hades, as well as Watch Dogs 2 with a friend whenever we get the chance
---

DKS2
Far Cry 5
Icewind Dale II

Might start a play-through of Arcanum, maybe BB just to see the differences between DKS2 and BB one right after another

Breath of the Wild
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX
Smash Ultimate

---

I was stoked for this new time limited event in Runescape that introduced new cosmetic items but it's turning out to be a huge timesink/pain in the ass so I don't know if I'm going to continue working on it or not.

---

Persona 5 Royal. And kinda want to replay SWToR, mostly just to replay the beginning of the Sith Inquisitor or Sith Warrior storyline. Fun shit.

---

spiritfarer. kinda got it on a whim since it was on gamepass and it looked interesting when it was announced at e3, and it's kind of blown my expectations away.

---

Finished replaying Pillars of Eternity & also started Hollow Knight for the first time a few days ago. Can't count how many times I've been like "Ok, I need to go here", only to end up checking out some other path along the way and going through a whole new area. It's been what I expected so far after reading/hearing all of the praise over the years.

---

EVE Online

---

well since im on vacaciones, i cant access Steam to play Fall Guys or GTA Online since i dont bring my desktop with me.

however, i been playing on my Switch. mostly Animal Crossing or 51 Worldwide Games...

Destiny

I hate when people refer to it as vidya

---

I'm giving Rage 2 a shot. Had an itch for a open world fps and its doing the job.

Also getting into some co op Risk of Rain 2, it's a good time in short doses.

---

back in April I started a minecraft server to reconnect with some highschool friends during COVID quarantine, since we used to play together back in like 2011-2013, and I'm really enjoying all the new stuff they've added since then. I'm not always the most creative builder so I like just exploring and finding cool things, and they've really added a lot to cater to that type of gameplay. The Nether update in particular is really fun -- it's a legitimately interesting place to explore now

---

FF12 The Zodiac Age

i really enjoyed that. especially ground pounding enemies into the air and shooting them out of the sky with the shotgun.
