Recently completed Ghost of Tsushima, then quickly completed Ratchet & clank: rift apart. Both were superb.

Finally started RDR2...

Yes, I'm years behind most after having 10 year gaming hiatus :D
I didn't take a gaming hiatus and I am still years behind as well! :lol: Be interested to see how you find RDR2 after playing Ghost of Tsushima, as I played them in the same order as you. I did enjoy RDR2 eventually, but I'll be going back to GoT before RDR2 (I am actually tempted to get GoT for the PS5).

I play gt7 most days too.
I grew up with GT and it is one of my most beloved gaming franchises, but I have zero desire to pick up GT7 at the moment. Between WRC and ACC my racing needs are fully catered for at the moment, perhaps I'll come around at some point.
Just hopping between Flight Simulator, Forza, and Ride 5. Can't seem to sink time into story driven games. Yeah... I've aged I guess :cheers::lol:
As much as I appreciate a good story driven game, there is a lot to be said for something you can just pick up and jump straight into!
 
Star Wolves 3 - old game, invested much time when it was new. Never finished it because I think I made some powercreep mistake somewhere and couldnt win a fight that I couldnt escape (old RPGs loved to do that).

Resident Evil 4 - played it when it was released on PC because I didnt have that Nintendo console. It was quite a hassle with the controls but I almost finished it and just didnt pass the last fight. Now hopping into the remake to finally make it to the end.

Heroes of Hammerwatch - simple but shortwhile fun, playing as a group.

planned for the (near) future:
Diablo 2 current or next season
Remnant 2 all DLCs
Path of Exile 2
 
@B80 I hope you enjoy RDR2 as much as I did, I spent years thinking it would be just another bloated Rockstar game that people love just because it's Rockstar (let's just say I'd been bitten this way with San Andreas, GTA 4 and GTA V and wasn't about to be pranked again) but when I found out I had a baby on the way (well, not me personally, but... You know what I mean) I thought I should probably at least try it out and refund it if I wasn't into it. Wow was I wrong, I was immediately gripped and put crazy hours into it, it was the only thing I played for a month, and this was 2021 so I was working from home and locked down so I didn't have anything else to do. Maybe that was part of why I enjoyed it so much?
 
Hitman 1, 2 & 3. Damn these games are good. (I also thoroughly loved Blood Money when that game was new - I also like Freedom Fighters way back when, now that I think about it) I love how much replayability there is in this game. I've been redoing the Hokkaido mission over and over...I've probably done it 20 times at this point just because of how many different ways there are to do the job - and that's before the escalations and seasonal content that I haven't even started. I really with PD could figure out a way to bring this level of depth and replayability to the GT series somehow. Why shouldn't every race have different challenges and rewards for completing in different ways, just for a start? I think IOI is one of the best developers out there...these guys know how to make a compelling and deeply engaging game.

Been in a NASCAR mood again since beating Need for Speed Underground, so I’ve been playing quite a few NASCAR games as of late.

NASCAR Thunder 2004 is what I am currently focused on because I recently remembered it has at least 4 fantasy tracks to unlock I don’t recall ever racing at before. Lately I’ve wanted more to do than just playing Daytona Beach every single time, so I am working pretty hard to unlock these tracks for the sake of having more to do and more reason to play the game again later. I am nearly there right now, I just have 5 more races and I’ll be finished. Looking forward to seeing what they are! :)

Thinking about doing the same with NASCAR 2001 just so I don’t have to enter cheat codes every time I want to race on the fantasy tracks again. Man do I have so much to look forward to! :D

Cheers mate, nice story :)

Funny enough, I'm the same with gta/rockstar.

Started off with the 2d/top down ones on the Amiga back in the 90s. Then got bored of the series and only played 2 more in 3d, including 5. Sucked in by hype train, but never completed them. Just found them boring tbh.

I did complete rdr1 when it was released. I played rdr2 briefly a couple of years ago, only for an hour thoug. Felt clunky, sluggish tbh. But I've read you hsve to get out of tutorial type area and give it a proper chance.

I'm hoping it's like witcher 3, which took me 3 attempts or so, and 20 odd hours, before I thought/felt 'now I can see why many say it's one of the best games ever made'.

I ended up buying Frostpunk 2. I only have about 5 hours into it but it’s a really cool and different kind of game. It’s feels like a mix of Cities: Skylines and Civilization.
