Video Games will melt your brain...

I'm a big videogamer and Have a PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and PC too. Stopped playing the Xbox and let the subscription run out and only play Civ 6 on my PC now and again but the PS4 I've been caining the last few months while the pandemic has been around.

Played a lot of the exclusives the last few years like: Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, God of War, Spider-Man, Death Stranding, Nioh, Bloodborne and Last of us 2.

Gotta say that Last of us 2 is personally for me the greatest game I'v#e ever played. It was an emotional rollercoaster and I've never experienced anything like it in a game until I played that.

So do we have any videogamers here or is it just me?

I have an old Xbox somewhere but I've not turned it on for years. My laptop will play some older games (it's probably ten years old itself!) but probably two thirds of my Steam library was bought on sale for when I have something powerful enough to play them.
Speaking of which, I have a decent enough desktop, but no monitor and no space in the house to use it, so it's currently sat in a wardrobe collecting dust πŸ˜‚
And lastly my work bag still has an old GameBoy Advance with the copy of PokΓ©mon Red I had when I was a kid - one day I'll have a 151 save! πŸ˜‚

Haha great topic @Axineton !
I reckon for most videogaming and interest in warhammer come hand in hand.

I know last of us (1) was rated super highly. Impressive if it's even better. Did you find the warhammer room in it? Seen people posting it.

Early teens I was really into PlayStation and absolutely hammered stuff like the first two gran turismos.
I've been a PC gamer mainly since being a mid teenager. I was even in a semi serious clan called Pathfinders for call of duty 1 and call of duty United offensive. Did a fair few clan matches and stuff. Cool but stressful.
I've played all sorts of stuff but I think RPGs are my favourite. I remember wasting what felt years on Morrowind. An unbelievable game and although the graphics have improved on oblivion and Skyrim and I don't think they've ever been able to top it in some ways. Ive never got into mmorpgs tho... they suck.
Also nowadays I find I rarely have the time (or patience) for anything other than turn based strategies. So civilisation is one of my favourites. I've not played 6 though. Was always too pricy.... and tbh... since picking up warhammer again.. I have barely played any pc games. I did get my fiancee into two point hospital though haha. I also had some fun doing. Also played quite abit of rimworld last year Which was alot of fun.
But I've found in the last few years I've really struggled to keep interest in games and that's kinda how I came back to warhammer... as I was wanting to find something that really got me hyped again I guess. And well it worked πŸ˜‚

Oh I also played rock band the other night with the neighbours and got super drunk. That was awesome 😁

@pawl Pokemon on the gameboy.. what a game. I actually got an emulator on my phone and hammered it while on holiday so much that I broke the phone screen 🀣 Pokemon is amazing.

I think i could probably fill this entire thread with all the titles I play so I'll try and cherry pick a few.

PS4
COD:MW Remastered - Top 1% ranked Hardcore modes
COD:WW2 Top 1% SPM (legit) Top 1% 3 Catagories on Zombies speedrunning (going for top #10)
COD:BO3 - Top 1% Zombies 2 Catagories
Borderlands 2 - Going for Plat trophy, as well as all legendaries, uniques etc (nearly finished this, taken me about a week of playtime so far)
Finally playing through TLOU1 and i bought TLOU2 ready for when I finish.
Working on a FURI speedrun.
Crash Team Racing - Going for top 10 fastest run on 1 track (might expand this to other tracks.
Tropico series.
Cities Skylines (the GF also enjoys this)

PC
This may be a long list.
League Of Legends (Nothing ranked yet but maybe soon) - 6 Seasons (Teemo Main - Sorry)
CSGO - Can't be bothered to drag myself through ranked, have played on ~MG2+ level and am comfortable)
Have played some WoW but not for a while.
Path Of Exile - Closed Beta Tester

All the original Dawn Of War series full completion.

Older Titles
The entire Halo series (possibly the best fps series of all time)
The Mass Effect trilogy (andromeda doesnt exist)
Gears Of War 1-3 (great style)
Metro 1+2 (highly recommend these to any and all for a good fright but great game)

My list could go on ten times over, I've already missed out a hundred titles or more but don't want to spam too much :grinning:

Haha are you maintaining these top 1%s at the same time? It's very impressive!!!
Keep spamming us 😁😁
I've found I really struggle to keep up the motivation with gaming in the last few years, have you just managed to keep ploughing through or do you need breaks lol

Lockdown has helped to be honest, its given me the time to plough through.

I find having a huge base means I never burn out on a single title, and having a huge base of other gamers means there is always something going on.

I was never really a leaderboard player, that kind of takes away from the fun a little for me, unless I have a natural aptitude for the game, and then the competitive side kicks in.

I've played MLG Fifa (duos) with a friend of mine but we didnt make it that far.
I used to be part of a Racing Team (AirAttackRacing) on the LiveForSpeed simulator platform (that was good fun, i should probably get my wheel+pedals out again)

Finished main game Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim.
Few hours on FasterThanLight (great indie game)
Beaten FF7-10 (7 being the best, havent bought the remake as of yet)

@pawl I have found the old ps1 and the hundreds of games so that'll be set up at some point as well.

I havent set my sights on too many more high placings at the moment, but that can change very quickly.
This is also very hard to think of the tonnes of games I've played, I'm 130miles away from home at the moment visiting my GF's parents, when I'm back home I can really dig through the boxes and shelves and figure some more out.

I do still have my original Pokemon Blue cartridge @pawl but I think it needs a new battery on the inside.

Aha! Yes I do, along with every white-sleeved game I could find :grinning:
It took some digging to find but they're all at mine.

Finders-keepers...or something grown-up.

A shoebox full? πŸ˜‚ there's plenty in there that are damaged (Knockout Kings springs to mind) but most work, as I recall. Not sure if it would work on a modern tv though?
