Hi everyone, I'm also a pretty avid gamer. I play all kinds of stuff but my main genres are JRPGs and Platformers.

Hi @Alex_Scope, I mainly play on PC these days though I pretty much play on every system. Also big on retro titles too. The game that got me into gaming was Spyro the Dragon on PS1. I was also and still am a huge Sonic and Pokemon fan growing up.

I love sports! I can't focus for long periods of times, so games like this are great for me?
However, I really enjoy watching others play the games, it's like watching a movie. I watch a few gaming YouTube channels, not too often though.

At the moment I am playing a new game on PS5 By Ember Lab, a new company and it's first ever game. Zena Bridge of spirits. I thought at first it was a youngsters game and so avoided it for a while, but now after playing it, I like it. The graphics are brilliant and the play style is very good. I am impressed. I think they will go on to make some really good games on the strength of this one.

@Jack_Humphries_98 I loved Spyro too, have you played the reignited trilogy? It reminded me just how tough the racing levels were!

@mia97 I share your love of sports, though I prefer watching them to playing them. I totally get what you mean about games being like movies, I've watched a few horror games I didn't want to play via youtube, like Last of Us

I've heard of Kena @Dragonslayer, I think it's up for an award this year, best indie game. I'm definitely tempted to play, the visuals look stunning.

Hi @Autumn_Feeling

Some solid choices there, I've always loved the Little Big Planet series and still play it to this day, and I also have Sackboy the Big Adventure. I was lucky enough to get a PS5, so I've been on that for about a year or so now.

How have you been finding the GTA trilogy? I play GTA V online quite a bit but haven't got the new trilogy.

There are good and bad things about the remastered trilogy.

It’s easy to get caught up in the nostalgia for the originals. Those games were a product of their time and built with old software for old hardware. 

I don’t want to compare the remasters to putting a new body on an old car. I’m not sure how to describe it.

The graphics upgrade works well in some places. The lighting and weather effects look amazing at certain times of the day and night.

I like the higher level of detail on the buildings but the character models and pedestrians seem less detailed, more vibrant and cartoonish. The originals had a charm that seems to have been lost. I don’t know... The original stories are intact though.

I also noticed that the bridge in the remastered version of GTA 3 isn’t completely destroyed like in the original. 

The GTA V control system is great. Vehicles are still easily damaged.

Overall, I guess that it takes a little while to adjust. The games are still a lot of fun though.

What kind of stuff did you like to make in the Little Big Planet series?

I agree, I much prefer playing sports in real life. I am a tennis player, I've played since I was 4 years old. I also enjoy the occasional football match, participating in sports is my way of relaxing.?

Hi everyone,
I love to game (mostly PS4 and Nintendo Switch) but I'm not the best at it because my coordination/speed isn't great. A personal favourite of mine is Detroit: Become Human. Apologies if it's been mentioned before! I like it a lot because not only is the story really thought-provoking, but you can also do a lot without the need to press multiple buttons at the same time, haha! Which, I suppose, starts a whole other discussion about accessibility.

Hey @THE_DUDE This is a pretty old thread.  I'll start up a fresh gaming thread for us all in a bit.
 I'm a big gamer and get sad if I don't get to chat about what I'm playing.

Thanks @Albus_Scope
