Destiny 2. This game can get confusing as hell.

Just finished Dark Souls 3 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Thinking about replaying Skyrim for the 7th time before the next ES game comes out. Then I'll play that for 2-3 years straight.

D2 lost me a while back with the gear grind.

It is a grind, but the mechanics are great.

It is. I have a Destiny 1 file with basically all of the gear you could want and the 1200 hours or so it took to get it.

Destiny 2 I've played for about 100 hours but it's hard to get excited about anything new they do when it's mostly the same weapon types firing at mostly the same enemy types.

Mostly I like to do shit with buddies online. Any "god" gear I get to drop is a bonus.

1,200 hours? Holy crap.

I used to play a lot more video games when I was single. One of my friends has been playing destiny 1 and 2 routinely since 2014. I'm sure he has doubled or tripled that number. He found a wife who plays Destiny, though. I suspect that is rare.

The Hearth and home update for Valheim is soon. Playing it with my wife at the moment. Never seem to get tired of it, the sandbox aspect of it makes it enjoyable and relaxing. Its like someone mashed Minecraft and Skyrim together. Enjoyable.

I had just under 4000 hours in D1 lmao. I could not overcome how awful D2’s launch was. Tried to get back in with Forsaken and Shadowkeep, only lasted a bit. Will never play it again I’m guessing.

Another edit: Was also single during this time. Lol

Looking for aNything to play. Bought my nephew a ps4 to have here. Use to be massive into the call of duty stuff and madden. Little further back the nhl games. Id go on major starcraft benders, but appears they haven't remastered that for consoles.

looking for something semi low key. Something similar to starcraft would be awesome. Or just anything a mid 30’s loser would enjoy.

There really isnt anything quite like Starcraft if you're talking PS4. Xcom2, Divinity Original Sin 2 and Wasteland 3 are all great games that have that PC feel to them but they're all also better on PC. Of the three I think Xcom2 is the most accessible and also has the most replay value.


The main area where the PS4 excels is cinematic games. Imo the open-world cinematic games are better than the linear ones for the most part but lots of options there in both areas. Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, RDR2, Yakuza 0, etc. The two strongest genres overall, though, for mid 30s losers would be online games (Fornite, Warzone, Destiny 2, Final Fantasy XIV, Monster Hunter World) or the much cheaper roguelikes (Hades, Slay the Spire, Risk of Rain 2, Spelunky, Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells)

If he hasnt played Witcher 3 then thats a good place to start in general. Its cheap

13? Ah, I misread that. When I was that age I was playing games like Sonic Mania and Rayman Legends. Games are a bit different these days.

Fortnight is targeted to dudes in their 30s? I thought it was more geared to teens and mid-20s.

Never played it myself, but I have watched my nephews play…

Thats fair. Its definitely geared towards teens based on merchandising.

Tbh, Im not really sure what kids are playing these days.

I can tell you way more about Disney than Fortnite.

Madden 20 was the first one Id played since...ps2?..and I was able to pick it up pretty seamlessly. Its football. There are some weird quicks and extra modes but since you know football then you should be fine.

I haven't played Madden in years and decided to start playing again. One of my buddies starting an online franchise dynasty and we did a fantasy draft yesterday. Should be a lot of fun
