There is a 'what are you listening to?' thread but no 'what are you playing?'... i know there are gamers in here, way too many constantly online sad acts not to be. So stick what you are playing below and if you recommend. I've gone almost fully Switch 2 recently as i find as a father to a young lunatic, playing in bed for a bit is all i have energy for, although hopefully that settles down.

I'm back on Candy Crush on my phone. Been on Pool for a bout a year, but gone back to CC. I know there's thousands of games out there, but I try and avoid them as I'm so easily addicted and lose hours at a time (a bit like on here).

Tbh I wish I'd stick to wanking as a hobby, took far less time and effort.

Absolutely, I'm just less dedicated to the cause than I was in my formative years.

I finished DK Bananza too. What did you think? I really enjoyed it personally, typical Nintendo charm and just really addictive to keep going until you've finished.

I think you summed it up nicely. Very fun to play and glad I took the plunge. Thinking about getting the DLC now when I have the time

I do wonder if I'm one of the oldest gamers as I'm 54 nearly 55. However, I find gaming a huge escape from the pressures of work etc

It's something to do in your downtime, it's less brain dead than just sticking the TV on. Think you might be at the top end of people who would be considered to have grown up with it but people doing it until they are older will clearly become much more common.

I've also thought about the DLC. Doesn't seem to add any story, will probably hold off for now.

Nothing at the minute, have got Game Pass on the Xbox so hundreds of games to choose from but I play them for 5 or 10 minutes then get bored.

This is definitely a thing with age. I need to be drawn in almost from the start otherwise i know i'm not going to go far beyond an hour before putting it down.

Don't really play console games at all. We are now pretty much fully into board games.

Current favourite is One Night Of The Werewolf (Ultimate ) / One Night Of The Vampire.

Purchased a PS5 about a year ago, but just can't be bothered to get it set up. Just sat in the box collecting dust.

Got a few days off next week, so will probably finish of Spiderman on the PS4 and fire up Cyberpunk.

On my phone I've played Clash Royale for about 5 years. Top 100 in the world out of a million. On console I am all about COD, although trying to keep space for GTA 6

Aside from FM I don’t really look at new games, most seem to focus just on graphics and online multiplayer whereas I always just preferred single player games with richer gameplay.

Mainly playing Genshin Impact on the PS4, I've given up with PS Plus now. Ghosts of Yotei will be my next big purchase.

Also playing Bully, that old PS2 game that came out years ago. Dunno why I never played this firs time round. its so stupid and funny.

I only play single player games. Too old and reactions too slow for multiplayer

I'm not looking to sell, it's the 30th anniversary edition console they had last year, so it's something I want as a display piece in the games room anyway.

Literally the exact opposite. Nintendo, Sega and Xbox.

It usually takes me 5 or 6 games, stop start, until I find one that I can't put down until ive completed it.
Im currently on Hogwarts Legacy. Downloaded it about a year or so ago and kept bypassing it when looking for a new game to start. Finally started it last week and can't put it down now. I love an open world game/RPG, and im a massive Harry Potter fan, so it ticks all my boxes.

Played Nintendo with friends who had it after school sometimes. Nearly always the James Bond games where you ran around the map trying to snipe each other.

Have always wanted to give Microsoft Flight Simulator a go but the kit for it’s looked pretty expensive. Is it worth it?

Fantastic console, I still have a play on 18 wheeler and crazy taxi when I get the chance.

I'll have to post some photos of my games room, still very much in the early stages.

It's very good.

Get one of the older ones and just get a joystick from Argos or whatever to start you off.

At first you'll be crashing all the time and just flying around for the sake of it. Once you do some of the tutorials and get an understanding of how the cockpit works, you'll start getting more enjoyment out of it.

Once you're a bit more serious go get the latest one (2024) and enjoy the scenery! You'll be losing thousands of hours on it by that stage.

Please do. I have a decent collection myself although my wife may kill me if I made a full room of it. I've got a load on my shelves next to my work desk, the rest is just packed away.

Can't actually find any decent photos, just when I was having a play around with lighting/configuration etc, probably got double the amount of games across most consoles from the mega drive up to current day. Got loads of figures and all that filler crap.

Rooms currently rammed full of shit too as I'm redecorating elsewhere so no up-to-date pictures.
