Surprised this thread hasn't been more active lately with everyone confined to their homes lol.

What you guys playing? I went back to DQXI after picking it up last year and stopping after 20 or so hours. I'm ~60 hours in now and loving it.

I need to go back to that one still. Loved it and want to finish it.

Been playing PoE. It's a meh league but playing regardless and have a good build. Picked up Animal Crossing but haven't played yet. Waiting on FF7R (which I just switched to delivery vs. pickup, so I am anticipating not getting it on release now unfortunately).

I forgot I also picked up Slay the Spire, just because it was $7 at gamestop and I heard good things. I barely have a clue about what the gameplay even looks like.

I just finished the DQ11 main game after 80 hours, need a break before continuing the post game. Never played Animal Crossing before but I bought it for a time waster since I now have a lot of time to waste.

Never played Animal Crossing before, but I've become a pretty big fan of Stardew Valley in the last year. Similarities?

Picking up AC tonight, can't wait. Lot's of similarities but definitely different games. New one has introduced quite a bit of new stuff.

I've been playing a lot more Apex and really enjoying it as well as some CoD Warzone, will probably pick up Doom Eternal for cheap in a few months as there is no need to play.

Been playing Factorio, Orcs Must Die 2 (an oldie but a fun shoot 'em up tower defense game) as well as Fractured But Whole.

None of them are really scratching my itch. It might be time to go back and work on BOTW and maybe finally get the Master Sword and beat the game.

COD Warzone for me. Never played the Doom that came out a few years ago so maybe I’ll play that this weekend.

Think me and some friends are going to have a virtual hang out tonight. What should we do?

I’m almost 30, so definitely not hip with what’s popular, but recently I started doing Group FaceTime and Snapchats with friends and it’s been awesome

If any of you have steam, the Jackbox party packs are a lot of fun even with non gamers and you only need one person who has it to host.

Nice I'm after 30.

Same. I kind of thought there’d be another 10 pages here with no NBA and a lot of game time.

Doom Eternal is fun so far. A lot harder than I remember Doom 2016 being, but fun nonetheless. It’s got some weird story stuff going on that I kind of didn’t expect.

I'd post a lot more but I think I'm the only Souls/Bloodbourne/Nioh nutcase on this board.

I normally run through the entire DragonAge series once every few years, figure this is as good of a time as any to start another playthrough. Each time I alter the world state for different outcomes so it stays somewhat fresh.

DA2 is so rough. I want to look forward to the new DA game, whenever it releases, but I have so little faith in Bioware/EA at this point.

I do love that world, though.

Enjoying Animal Crossing so far. I think I'll dig it and play quite a bit. But it definitely moves slow. I played my 'day 2' this morning for about 2 hours and got to the point of not really having anything else to do today, unless I want to come back later to try to get different fish or bugs tonight.

I think it'll pick up more when I unlock more things to do, like terraforming and whatnot. But it's also fine if it's more casual and not something you sit down with for 4 hours at a time.

DA2 is my least favorite but I still very much enjoy it. All the details surrounding DA4 has me very hopeful that it will be great. An open DA world that takes full advantage of the next gen specs is going to be amazing. The engine Anthem was built on was originally intended for DA4 before Anthem became top priority. I have high hopes.

You got me into DQB so I'll ask you how it compares to that. I've read that if you manipulate the Switch's game clock you can get to the good stuff earlier.
