I built one of my best friends a retro gaming station out of a raspberry pi 2. Its called the Nicolas Cage SuperStation. We've been playing old school streets of rage with our ps4 controllers.
You can download the operating system, LakkaOS, from here: https://www.lakka.tv/
Vermintide 2, Warframe, TF2, Battlefield 1, and once in a great while we get to sit down and try to play warhammer lol.
Brawlhalla, hands down. A Free-to-play platform-fighting game that is surprisingly technical with its movement and combos, so it can lead to very interesting and epic moments.
It has a huge roster but you need to pay in-game currency to access most characters, which you gain very quickly by just playing the game, so its a non issue.
How is Omega Strikers? I've had my eyes on it but it's not really my friends' type of game. I might play it on my own because I think it looks really cool.
Team Fortress 2! We queue Casual and just laugh at funny ragdolls, cosmetics, and the bizarre fever dream interactions that can only happen in TF2 😅
I've been playing Sons of the Forest with my friends. It's still in Alpha so it's been fun discovering the game together through the regular updates.
Our current rotation of games is GTFO, Back 4 Blood, Ready or Not, Starship Troopers: Extermination and The Division 2.
We used to play quite a bit of Grand Theft Auto Online (PC), but too many games got ruined by blatant cheaters and griefers so we quit. We also had a Project Zomboid server, which was super fun, need to go back to that game sometime!
Is Back 4 Blood any good now? I played at launch and it was ROUGH. Devs really seemed like they didn't know what they were doing most of the time.
We have like a solid list that goes back a few years
But we just added some new ones:
We keep coming back to Risk of Rain 2
League of Legends, but with the attitude of "We really need to try more games, but this is the only one we all play."
We've also played Overwatch and FFXIV, but they don't really stick that well long term.
Destiny 2. It gets a lot of hate (a lot of it deserved) but every week me and two friends run dungeons and it's always fun.
The last few games I've played with people have been Guild Wars 2, Overwatch 2, Gunfire Reborn & Tower Unite. c:
If we're also counting browser games, Gartic Phone and Board Game Online.
It's funny, I feel like I've seen more GW2 players in the wild on the fediverse than I did on Reddit
What sorts of stuff do y'all do when you play? Most of my GW2 playing friends play endgame PvE so I'm curious how other people play the game together ^^
It really depends! Sometimes we're playing through story together (if there's new stuff out we haven't done yet), sometimes we'll be doing fractals (so technically endgame PvE), sometimes we'll go achievement hunting together or maybe farm if there's something we particularly need for something.
I've been considering trying PvP and/or WvW again, but I'm a little scared because I very much consider myself to be a casual player and I'm afraid I'd be holding my team back with my inexperience. :c
It's pretty inconsistent with my friend groups, but most frequently revolves around either Apex Legends or a mix of fighting games, currently Street Fighter 6. Monster Hunter often enters the rotation, as well as other cooperative games.
I've been trying to get folks to play Omega Strikers with me but have had little luck so far, nor have I really had the time to really get into it and get very comfortable with all the mechanics.
Y'all play games with friends? My irl friends only really like FPSs, and since that's not my jam we don't really play together. And most of the people I know online are more into single player games until I found them in an mmo (but even then we tend to only play that one together).
League of Legends is the game we all share (it's how most of us met each other) but there are other games that some of us play together from time to time.
Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2, Remnant: From the Ashes (sequel next month), Minecraft, and ARPGs. Just to name a few.
It's not uncommon either for us to just be playing out own thing and streaming to the others.
Mostly Rust, these days. However, we have played (and enjoyed) Valheim, Satisfactory, Raft, For the King and Heroes of the Storm. I want to get back to multiplayer Minecraft again though. Playing alone is getting old.
Fortnite has been our go-to for the last 3 years.
Quite impressive, considering I thought my friend was kidding when she asked me to play it with her. But it's been hella fun since!
