What games are you playing now?

Still enjoying GT7...

Hitman World of Assassination. Love the freedom and discovering a level before really creating a plan. The levels are really intricate.

Ongoing:
Diablo 2 - now at level 96, things are getting slower. As long as I dont fall asleep, dying is not possible
Dragon Age - Fun enough, but at the same time lacking. The classes dont feel quite right to me, the RPG elements do not feel well thought out, the explanation about the dagger is missing. But at least it plays well enough to not bother me too much so that I can still enjoy it.

New:
Hammerwatch 2: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! constantly crashing in multiplayer on PS5, no support by the developers.

Decided to go back and play Lego Star Wars The Video Game on PS2 again for the first time in a long time and beat the story mode yesterday. Now I am going back and getting all the minikits in free play and buying whatever I can as I go. Trying to get everything done in this game because I intend to play its sequel afterward and I want to have access to all of the first game's content with the use old save extra the game provides.

Having a lot of fun replaying this game, even if it wasn't what I originally had in mind.

Beat that game on Friday and got absolutely everything on there too. While getting all the extras was a bit of a boring grind, I still had a lot of fun replaying it for the first time in forever.

I then started on the game's sequel the next day on a whole new save game for the first time since 2007 and so far I am on the 2nd level to Episode V. I'm already having a good time with this one too and I plan to play it to completion as well. I am tempted to replay all the LSW games since that's been what I've been in the mood for as of late, though I am unsure how or if I'll replay the The Complete Saga since it's a bit too similar to the first two games I already played.

I'm always playing Final Fantasy 14, like it's my natural state now days. I play GT7 regularly, but not as much as I used to.

I just finished the Riku playthrough of Kingdom Hearts: reChain of Memories so I can finally put that crap behind me and move on to the next in the series.

And I just jumped into Final Fantasy 2. I'm surprised by the leap from the first game. I figured it would be largely the same gameplay with a new story, but there is so much expanded on in terms of leveling stats and what the characters can do. I'm not far in but it's already gotten heavy with loss and consequences. I can't believe the sympathy I'm feeling for little pixel sprite characters.

Currently, alternating between Demon's Souls and Lies of P but DS more. Defeated two bosses in two days. Very good going for me 😀

Made it to Icon 600 in The Crew 2 and unlocked the Ferrari LaFerrari LaFerrari LaF...

Worked out that Icon 650 will be the point where I've maxed all the "Perks" and can start to put every point after that into Bucks.

Game is still throwing cheap cars at me every time I login at 25% discount which eats up my earned credits

Done about 2/3 of the regular races now, going to pretend the Air Race doesn't exist...

Had a look at the Motorflix tab for the first time and realised there's a ton of stuff to do there when i finish the regular races.

Still have most of the skills and photo challenges to do. And the Stories. And then there's the Hobbies to work through.

At the rate I'm going, I'll still be working at this stuff in 2028

Also been playing some FM23 BMW Tour. And Not BMW Tour

You know, for some reason, I just haven't been able to get into Motorfest. Nor the other two Crews, for that matter. Yet, I enjoy TDU SC 🤣 I think it's got something to do with Motorfest's busy, convoluted UI (just my opinion)
It throws so much at you constantly. How about this race? Go to the central hub. How about this championship?

It's mind numbing 😴 Then it's got The Summit, where you're on a timer and in order to rack up enough "XP" you have to play the bloody thing daily for hours.
I don't think the whole boats, planes and other assortment of vehicle types helps in my case 😉 I prefer something to do one thing well, rather than trying to be a jack of all trades.

As for 2028, do you think Motorfest will still be playable and purchasable by then? 🤣 Looks like Ivory Tower can't wait to pull the plug on its online only games. Why not have the option of making it offline come EOL?

• Poker Club (PS4)

I don't know how to play poker at all. How do I learn?

I am happy to teach you. Bring cash though. 💵

There's a tonne of tutorials online, but the best way to learn is to play - maybe watch a couple of YT videos first though.

And... don't ever play for cash, especially online. Or with friends. 😅

Ironically, real poker does actually require cash/real collateral, because the gambling portion is a huge part of the game play. That said, swatting up on basic statistics and probability is a sure-fire way to improve your game, and I still love playing 4-5 poker hands against myself with a real deck of cards. Poker is an amazing genre of games, but gambling can also ruin it - that said, I know two poker pros and they are considerably richer than me. 😅

As I put in the Crew 2 thread, I only do each Summit race once or twice each week. That is enough to get me gold each week on Xbox. I'm deliberately NOT grinding those events for platinum as that is the absolute WORST and most BORING way to play these games.

My weekly Wednesday routine is:
Summit races (always done in order Icon points races first, go to profile and add the perk points, then back to Summit for $45k races).
Then I go to Activities and run some races in one category.
Then I do one of the Stories part way or fully.

That reduces the "busy" UI to bite size chunks, I agree that it throws a lot at you, but most of it can be ignored tbh.

Ivory Tower have said that both TC2 and TCM will have offline (presumably at EOL), but of course seeing will be believing.

I've just started playing Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders on Game Pass. Being an ex-MTBer I've already got Lonely Mountains: Downhill and the switch to snow makes sense.

I'm working my way slowly through Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Racing-wise FM2023, EA WRC and World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing 24. If you haven't tried Outlaws you really are missing something. It's not doing my posture any good though going round in circles all evening

Still playing gt7, it's an addicting game; that's for sure. Anybody would get glued to the TV and racing world.
