It's a pretty weird and unsettling time in this world of ours right now. With many of us hunkering down at home, things can get downright boring at times. Fortunately, if you're someone who enjoys videogames, you likely have a backlog of games to play through or even some new titles to play in the coming days and weeks.

    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Cyberpunk, and also I've been playing some games with my Nephew, Godfall, GTAV & StarWars Battlefront 2. Since he never had a PS4 he bought these games to play on his PS5 so since I have them too I figured I'd play them with him. It's been a blast!!! He always gets me laughing when we play games together. So it makes it even more fun! I'm planning on playing the new Ratchet & Clank game on the PS5 when it comes out in June, & I'm planning on getting Tokyo Ghostwire & Stray when they come out. I'm a big fan of Cyberpunk Style Games!

    I've got no problem with the "times" we live in, but I do find it weird and unsettling to know people play a rotation of 3, 5 or more games in a short time span.

    It's as if they can't find any they really enjoy, almost like they are endlessly wandering the desert seeking a game to enjoy.



    Now me, still playing ESO but coming up on month 3 I'm not sure I'll continue much longer, probably time to start searching for the next "one" game to play.

    Cheers, see you all in June.

    A lot of good games on discount atm. Been debating on if I should pick up Neir: Replicant at full price. Kaine's voice actress is so good. Just something about a woman swearing like a sailor.

    No MMOs. Playing some Skyrim, CP2077, Last Epoch, Diablo 3 and Civ V... always Civ V. I have thousands of hours in it. It's like my solitaire by this point :)

    Kingdom come deliverance. I really like it and i never could get into story games, but this one is good. 

    Also some starcraft 2 and somewhat path of exile. 

    If sovrath reads this, i think he'd love kingdom come deliverance.

    It's kinda telling a lot that not one MMORPG is on Mike's list...


    My pick of poison is LotRO as well, both the new -fun but short- Bilbo story like Nebless (FYI, if skipped so far, for a few more days still can grab it for free with the coupon code, hurry :) ), and also the anniversary event.

    Can be multiple reasons as Tzervo said, and it ain't even just the "times we live in", for instance I'm a hopper since... ever, I believe?
    I mean, I've played 2 MUDs and a MUSH parallel in the '90s...

    My own reason is the opposite of

    I've found several I really enjoy, so I need to "timeshare" among them, 1-2( maybe 3) months in one, then the next, etc.
    Times we live in, the post-f2p era, it's easier to hop since I can log in to any of my games, while I'm subbing/"main"ing one.


    Also, the "see you in June", as I noticed I rarely hop at the end of month, usually games have events and updates somewhere in the middle.

    Like, I've played CO in the first half of April, until the end of the Foxbat event,
    then hopped to LotRO for a month, anniversary is two more weeks so my month will expire in mid-May.
    Which is fortunate timing, then I'll hop over to AoC since their anniversary will be towards the end of May - unless Funcom forgets it, wouldn't be a first.
    (since Nebless like AoC, probably he'll go there as well, after the Bilbo mission chain :) )
