What pc or console game are you playing right now

SwiftFox

I'll start it off. I'm mid season on Fc24 and it's great.

GalDriver

At the risk of sounding like a luddite, my faves right now are Backgammon, Gin Rummy, Solitaire & Dominoes. 😊

Medieval Total War 2. It's my happy place 😄

I'm trying FM26 on xbox but not enjoying it 😅 I've played various iterations of FM since I was a teenager and this has to be my least favourite one yet!

PC is usually WoW but I've not felt like playing it in about a year I think!!

Ooh and I spend a few minutes on Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley most days ❤️

I love solitaire @GalDriver! I've never gotten to grips to backgammon, not sure why!

Adrian_Scope

I never make it past the midway point of a season on FC, but I've always been more into FM (or CM before it) anyway. However, I'm not touching FM26 with a ten foot pole at this rate.

The missus bought me Medieval Total War 2 many years ago. Good times were had by all (apart from the poor besieged peasants!)

Right now I'm playing through both Ready or Not and The Precinct (and some Stardew when I'm feeling agricultural).

SwiftFox

Is FM on playstion 4?

Adrian_Scope

Yeah, I think FM24 is on PS4. I'm not sure about FM26, but I imagine it might only be on PS5 and the newer Xbox consoles.

I am a Wii original person and I am currently playing Harry Potter yrs 5 to 7 and MarioKart. I can't play for long durme to energy limitations and brain fog so need easy short sessions but I am enjoying them

I've just looked Adrian and the graphics look better in FC24/25 to be honest.

"I love solitaire @GalDriver! I've never gotten to grips to backgammon, not sure why!"

I learnt to play it at school, in the 70s, so don't remember much about it. It's quite easy once you know. A bit like a cross between Ludo and Draughts. lol

OverlyAnxious

I've recently started playing Solitaire on PC again when needed to pass some time.

Does anyone know if every deal of Free Cell is actually possible to complete on the higher levels? I can't work out whether there is a strategic way to complete some of them that I just haven't got the skill to work out, they just seem completely impossible!

Yeah, they're very different games really. FM is a very deep football management simulation, but FC is more football simulator.

I can't play games on a PC or console because the apparent movement makes me feel sick and get migraines:( So I play diablo immortal on my phone. I was so pleased to find a game I can tolerate and it really helps my mental health by giving me lots of tasks and has a high enough level of complexity that it keeps me engaged.

Dark Souls III

Yes understood, it's an hard game. Had it on pc once, too much depth.

SwiftFox

I also do jigsaws on the pc off steam, never any piece's missing either😂

Littlefatfriend

The only reason I have an Xbox and the only computer game I've played in the last 35+ years is Grand Theft Auto.

I find the absurdity of it, the existential crises and uniquely Scotch/Northern sense of dark humour expressed throughout it utterly hilarious.

I'm not convinced I'll ever succeed in doing all the weirdly messed-up things one can in it, it's hyowge!

😹🤣😹

I've not played anything for a long time for whatever reason, but I still very much love videos games, I've got loads of old consoles.

Ross1975

Littlefatfriend, I've never played the 2D GTA's, but I've played GTA 3 (one of my all time favourite games), Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, GTA 4, Lost & Damned, Ballad of Gay Tony, and GTA 5.

I don't feel that excited about GTA 6, maybe it's because I've been playing GTA games since 2001, and 6 looks like it's just more of 5.

SwiftFox

I use to play GTA, but it got boring after awhile, the next one that came out was just a little bit different to the other and a bit pricier than the last. I do like playing Sniper on the Ps4, I need Sniper 5 now.

OverlyAnxious

I used to like the early single player GTA's. Never did like GTA V though and stopped playing that shortly after getting it.

More recently I liked Assassins Creed but had to stop that around 5 years ago due to worsening vision issues & vertigo. I can still play a bit of COD in short bursts but that's the only console game now. They have some accessibility settings to remove motion blur etc. I assume they also test on a large audience to make sure it's as accessible as possible, seeing as it's one of the best selling gaming series in the world.
