I dusted off the Xbox360 and the Kinect. Been playing Rock Band, Dance Central and Kinect Sports to get some type of cardio going. Grateful everything still works and glad I never got rid of them.

PUBG and COD:Warzone on the XB1.

Way too much Animal Crossing, and oddly going back to the LEGO Harry Potter games.

Re: What Are You Playing? (April 2020)

I finished Doom Eternal on the first of the month.

As for what’s next...I’m not sure! My Switch is spoken for, thanks to my wife’s Animal Crossing obsession.

Currently in consideration are Halo: Combat Evolved (want to do a full series replay before Infinite), Modern Warfare Remastered, or Guacamelee 2. Or if I’m feeling really squirrelly, maybe I’ll power through the titular Impossible Lair in the latest Yooka Laylee game.

Quite some time ago, I stopped playing Rise of the Tomb Raider. I picked it back up again, and played through two scenes to finish the game.

Going through two extras in the Croft Mansion, the puzzle one and the action one.

Re: What Are You Playing? (April 2020)

I picked up the BioShock Collection (1, 2 and Infinite) for FREE in the PlayStation Store a couple months ago. Never got around to playing any of them on PS3. No better time than now. Only a couple levels into the first game at the moment but it's excellent so far.

Re: What Are You Playing? (April 2020)

Got tired of popping in and out of nothing too much of interest lately and went with what I figured would be familiar and had yet to play. And it is familiar which is good and bad. I liked the old, but having just finished 1 and most of 2 again before Wolfenstein: Youngblood, they were a little dated. Good controls. Easy, fluid, no complaints, but character models and environment bland and still same feel and look with new one. A few new things. Even sounds are same. But, I still love you can be stealthy at certain points, especially now, when cloaked. I always loved the run and gun, but stealth here and there like in these games, I love. We’ll see. So far, so good, but remember more frequent checkpoints. Youngblood, they are longer to get to which makes playing in spurts tough...

I'm about 70 hours into Persona 5. I was getting burnt out so I've taken a break for the time being.

On Gamepass, leaving end of month.
Loved playing this, I completed it 3 times (regular , NG+ & Speedrun)t. Fast paced with guns & melee weapons.
Awesome that U can reset any ability in skill tree anytime without penalty even in middle of boss fights

Re: What Are You Playing? (April 2020)

Even though I still have a couple of games in my backlog, I decided to start my Halo series playthrough today. Already finished CE (thanks, furlough!). I’ll spread this out for a while so I don’t get burnt out. As long as I’m finished before Infinite (and at this rate, who even knows if it’ll be out this year?), I’ll chalk it up as a win.

I’m not sure what I’ll play next, but it probably won’t be something from my backlog either. I’m liking short games at the moment: maybe Journey or Modern Warfare Remastered?

Nier Automata, Doom Eternal and Half-life Alyx.

Somebody else mentioned Nier and I remembered I never actually finished the damn thing, so here i go killing again. And i forgot just how whacked out the game is.

Doom Eternal isnt as compulsively playable as the 2016 game but it's fun in 30 minute sessions.

Alyx is amazing.

how do you play without killing index finger? I can’t figure out. It hurts after minutes of constantly shooting and I assume that’s what it is mostly...

Which game? Nier?

It's got a pretty mellow pace overall (reminds me of Zelda for long stretches). First time I played it I didnt know about the lock-on for the guns and my hand went numb trying to finish a few early on parts. Whoops. Great game once it gets rolling.

Re: What Are You Playing? (April 2020)

yes, Nier Automata. i played like 5 minutes and my index finger from firing constantly using Rb on XBOX controller was killing me so i stopped and uninstalled. it gets to be like Zelda, really? like with exploring and stuff? i thought it was just a side scrolling space shooter like Ikaruga, i think, on Gamecube way back. maybe i should give this another chance? but it was just killing early on and hard...
