After watching the Witcher I finally took the plunge and started getting back into the games. I've started both Witcher 1 & 3 before, but it kinda fizzled out for me in the past. W1 was a just lack of time, and W3 was because I couldn't get into playing it on PS4, and didn't have a desktop capable of running it at the time. Now I've started with W1 again and it's great. Bought it from GoG and it runs perfectly in 3440x1440 with little to no stress on the computer (I dread what W2 will do to my ol' trusty RX 580...). I don't care a lot about graphics, and I don't find the gameplay as clunky as some claim. Overall I really like it so far :)

Rocket League but basically only for benchmarking. I actually can't stand Rocket League's player base (or lower tier is always full of toxic gamers I guess), but playing against bots is too uneventful even for APU benchmarks.

Teamfight Tactics is my favourite game right now. I started playing late last season but still got up to low platinum. This season I'm high Gold but I haven't been playing as much. Haven't touched the game for the past 3 weeks actually... I really need to get back into it.

I recently decided to try out Apex Legends since I played it when it first came out. I didn’t enjoy it the first time but I’m not sure why I’ve been digging it quite a bit lately!

alos, working thru AC Origins and want to move on to RDR2 after.

Destiny 2 mainly, but it’s so poorly optimized it can be hard to play at times. When the game became free to play they removed the region locking feature so half the time you get matched up with Chinese players who either lag or cheat. Ruins the game.

I am a fan of the Half Life 2 series. Really disappointed that the upcoming Half-Life: Alyx is for VR play only.
Valve says it does not plan to release the game in non VR version. I wonder if they might change their mind.
Anyone knows gaming codes enough to say if converting a VR game to its non VR version is easily done or not? If yes, maybe Valve could change their mind?

Apex Legends is fantastic. Do we ever do gaming groups on our Discord here?

I still hear the Marathon 2 intro music every time I read the game's name.

Finally getting back into Breath of the Wild - it was a bad idea starting it just after finishing Borderlands and then The Outer Worlds. Open-world overdose I guess. I'm liking it better this time around, even if it's a bit too directionless for my tastes. The consumable/non-repairable weapon system still grates, though.

Of all time, you say? (It's too hard to put it into a specific order so I'm just going to throw out my top games in more or less life-chronological order) Brace yourselves, lots of Star Wars on this list.

  1. Star Wars TIE Fighter (one of my first real computer games. Had an old joystick. What a gem)
  2. Star Wars The Phantom Menace the video game (truthfully, it's probably worse than the movie it's based off of. Lots of family memories though: we'd play it "together" and years later, I'd pick it up and beat it myself)
  3. Pokemon Silver (we bought an old GameBoy at a yard sale. Later, we'd pick up a cheap big ol' box of Lego. This game was inside and I'd ultimately play far more Pokemon than Lego. Sorry, mom)
  4. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (I guess I have played KOTOR 2, I just don't really remember doing so. <shrug>)
  5. Star Wars Republic Commando (bought in the same 5-pack with KOTOR. Really wish there was a successor, spiritual or actual, to this game)
  6. Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (part of that same pack. Most memorable are the NPC spawn cheat codes. My brother and I would have hours of entertainment just doing light/dark side battle royales in the streets)
  7. Assassin's Creed 2, 3, or 4 (tie. I equally enjoyed all three for different reasons and they each provided a different take on the same formula. 2 for story, 3 for 'Murica, 4 for pirate ships and James the Kid)
  8. Mass Effect 1, 2, 3, A (I tried to narrow it down or at least provide an order, I really did. But they just each have something the others don't. 1 for sense of wonder, 2 for sense of adventure, 3 for... well, just wrapping things up for Shep, A for the combat and, well, dreaming of what it could have been if their ambitions had actually been accomplished)
  9. Payday 2/Dying Light (weird combination but these are the first real co-op games I've really gotten into with brother, sister, and friend forming the core squad. They've helped us stay in touch and that's been more important than the games themselves)
  10. Legend of Zelda... oh no, I'm out of spots! Twilight Princess was first, Skyward Sword came later, Breath of the Wild now and always. Didn't play Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker and thank goodness I didn't or this would be harder. Let's go with Breath of the Wild. Still playing it even though I wouldn't mind throwing Twilight Princess some love either.

Honorable Mentions aka the "I'm indecisive" list: Arkham series, Metroid Fusion/Zero Mission, Star Wars Racer (podracing, okay? I liked that game, lay off), Borderlands 2, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (or, "How to feel like an immortal: Get Rektoning"), Bioshock series, and holy moly, have I spent a lot of my life playing video games. Time to make myself feel better with Insurgency: Sandstorm.

Just like @annasoh323, I'll hardly give an order of preference as it highly depends on my mood / psychological state ....

  2. Octopath Traveler (Switch)
  3. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
  4. Super Metroid (SNES)
  5. Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckles (Megadrive / Genesis)
  6. Mario Galaxy (Wii)
  7. Dracula X: Rondo of Blood (PC-Engine)
  8. Metal Slug X (Neo Geo)
  9. Golden Sun (GBA)
  10. Faxanadu (NES)
Also, a few honorable mentions (because we are limited to 10 games) :
  • Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
  • Garou: Mark of the Wolves (Neo Geo)
  • Super Mario World (SNES)
  • Terraria (PC)
  • Path of Exile / Diablo 2 (PC)
