I've never been tempted by Animal Crossing, what the fuck am I missing?

Not much. It's the original farm simulator.

Couldn't be arsed to finish Pokemon. Super bland...

It's the perfect combo attack on stress - high octane killing of all the things and building a nice little house on an island.

Ah, in that case I think I'll carry on with Mario Kart Tour...

Which is really fucking me off, it isn't awarding me with stars! The new round comes along and there are already five stars showing before I've raced!!! Fuck that, would bin it off if I wasn't so fucking hooked...

I'd say that was Harvest Moon to be fair

Yeah true, they both have the same energy.

If anyone was a fan of theme hospital, the new Two Point Hospital is really fun.

Yeah it's not great admittedly, but I've got some pals who've finished now playing the multiplayer a lot and I can get on board with that a bit. Never actually played animal crossing but loved harvest moon and stardew valley so obviously I'll be all over it

I have to say Doom eternal looks really fussy to me, compared to the simplicity of 2016. Will wait and see but it's not something I'm hyped for at the moment

@spinnnout not competitive but pretty sure Diablo 3 should be able to do 2 by 2. Rocket league should do it as well (I think 3 by 2 as well). Helldivers is another good PvE which should be able to do 2 by 2)

I fired that up again last night for the first time in over a year, the poor optimisation pissed me off when trying to play it on my Surface. Playing it on a desktop and it's great fun, relatively soothing too!

I got three or four gym badges in then realised it wasn't even a little bit fun. Everything levels up too easily, the new mechanics were gimmicky and the way it held your hand was annoying.

It was a half-arsed attempt at best and when something like BOTW exists, there's no longer an excuse for phoning it in.

Nvidia Geforce now?

It was a half-arsed attempt at best and when something like BOTW exists

Absolutely. It's the same game it ever was, with graphics not much better than ffvii

I think it was actually worse than previous iterations. Fewer dungeons, fewer decisions / options / paths to take. More hand-holding. Easier leveling. Less content.

I've got a £50 Amazon voucher kicking about, will pick up Animal Crossing, I loved it on the 3DS, until Rowan the tiger left my town and I was heart broken.

I don't even really like Doom but even I have been seduced by the ads for Doom Eternal on Youtube.

Never played Animal Crossing, though.

Edit: Ooh I just remembered that I tried out Graveyard Keeper the other day, which is a bit like Stardew Valley except you farm corpses instead of plants. Or in addition to plants? IDK it was all very complicated and I didn't get too far in but the two hours I sunk into it were enjoyable.

Also I played a game called Equilinox which is the most relaxing goddamn game. Even more relaxing than Stardew Valley, and Stardew Valley is relaxing AF. If any of you are into relaxing games then Equilinox might interest you.

Really enjoying COD warzone. I say this as someone who hasn't played cod since blops1 and queue's solo.

Yo. If anyone is on the Switch my friend code is SW-3474-5217-1129

Now I'm playing games again cause there's fuck all to do...

The new Two Point Hospital is really fun.

Seconded.

Service is down now though right? Figured I'd pick up Two Point Hospital to play on the sofa instead of at the desktop only to be greeted with a service down message. I'm guessing there has been a spike in use over the past few days!

Errr.... I just played Tetris Online so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nice, looks to be back up now!

Just downloaded CIV 5 as I've always heard so many people talking about it, particularly how it's a good time sink.
