It's a slow period, in terms of gaming. How are you passing it?

I'm playing Horizon for the third time. And Jade Empire for the fourth.
 
ZzzzzzzzEELLLDDDAAAA!
AND more Witcher 3
AND some Halo thrown in (as is always the case)
My internet provider is screwing the pooch right now and I cant even play a match online without bad lag...

My backlog is so big it is good to have some time to tackle it. I'm playing through Gears 3 remastered then on to 4 (which I have never played).

Really want to finish AC:Origins before the new one comes out. Destiny 2 seems to suck up all my available time too.

I like slow times in gaming. My backlog is dumb. Game Pass makes it dumber.

Playing Nier. Finishing Doom.

Going to give Devil May Cry a shot in Game Pass. Haven’t played a minute of the franchise. Also playing Shadow Complex and Warhammer in Game Pass.

Been meaning to play Resident Evil 7 which has been staring at me in my prioritized list for months.

Still grinding Bloodbourne and Dark Souls Remastered.

Hoping to at least cross all those games off the list before Red Dead 2 comes out. Still have another 20 games or so in my backlog I’d like to get to at some point.

Slow time for gaming? We just had the biggest game on the planet get crushed by server load yesterday. SMH.

I have so many games to play that anytime I turn my console on I feel lost. I have a bad habit of starting games and then getting sidetracked on something else. Plus MP gaming with friends cuts into so much of my gaming time.

Recently I’ve started Witcher 3, State of Decay 2, The Division and Wasteland 2. Plus I have GamePass games and got GTA5 on sale recently.

This is kind of what I like Fighting Games. No concern about leaving an unfinished campaign or incomplete story. No time spent crafting weapons or armor. I can just boot up and play a few rounds.

I would like to find some Deathmatch shooters, but all I see is Team Deathmatch anymore. I don't like random teaming with people I don't know or having a mix of casual players and serious players. I'd rather do Everyone Against Everyone.
 
Not a slow time for me. I'm all over the place with the backlog

PC:
Ni No Kuni 2
World of Final Fantasy
The Vagrant

XB1:
Rocket League
Earthlock
Warframe
Gwent

PS4:
Dragons Crown Pro

Switch:
Octopath Traveler

Heaven help me when the big fall releases get here.

Excuse me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Fortnite Battle Royale?

Wizard of Legend. It's a retro Rogue-lite that has couch coop and is surprisingly fun. Been playing it a lit with my son. Just beat the Wizard trials last night for the time and got my first Chaos arcana.

If you like rogue-lite games or couch coop. Check it out. It think it's just $16.00.
 
Why do people hate whatever's popular? I did that in high school for a brief moment, then I decided assessing things based on merit was even cooler.
 
List of what's new on PS4. Lots of indies.

too much warframe as always. gotta get some other game to take my focus off. Also been playing deus ex invisible war when I got time on the computer. I plan to finish prey soon as well.

oh also final fantasy record keeper on my phone, when stuck in a waiting room.
 
I'm finishing up Yakuza 6 so I can be ready for Yakuza Kiwami 2 at the end of August. Sega needs to stop releasing the Yakuza games a week before Sony releases a big 1st party exclusive, last time it was Yakuza 6 just before God of War and this time it's Kiwami 2 just before Spiderman lol. The Yakuza games are awesome though, I hope they do bring them to xbox so people who don't on a PS4 get to experience them.

Also went back and played ME: Andromeda again for a few minutes, I still can't believe how bad this game looks for being a AAA title. The amount of pop in that's really close by even though the worlds are basically dead and lifeless is mind boggling , it also doesn't help that distant enemies move at like 15fps even when only a couple of things are on screen and hardly anything is moving.

I'ma need MK11 to be announced at Comic-Con.

I don’t hate whatever is popular. I hate what I hate. Trump isn’t popular. Still hate him.
 
Here in a couple of weeks I'll be playing We Happy Few. I'm really looking forward to playing this.
