When hanging out with friends in discord or whatever, what games do you all tend to sit down and play with one another? For me it's some combination of Valorant, Guild Wars 2, and Omega Strikers but I'm curious what everyone else plays with their friends :)

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.

We usually go for the cheapest and dummest crap we find, with most potential.

[–] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Typically we break into smaller groups to play gta v or golf with your friends. But we have a valheim server we chill on and this week we all got really into battle bits

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/

We also play Death Stranding and were about to get into the new Marathon too

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 😅

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.

[–] pixel@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly I love it to bits. I was top 500 for a time in battlerite royale duos, so when it died I wanted a game that scratched that same itch that actually had a marketing push behind it so people would play it. Omega strikers isn't quite the same as battlerite, but it scratches a similar enough itch to where I've been really, really happy with my time with it. Played it in beta and just got obsessed lol

I will say it's not a game I can play for hours on hours like valorant, but I spend like an hour or two with it every few days and it's consistently fun. Biggest issue is cross play with mobile players and switch players means you're pretty likely to queue with like 11 year olds that don't know what they're doing, but cross play like that is a necessary evil to keep a game like this alive. It's super fun with friends though, I can't recommend it enough

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).

Vermintide 2, Civ V, never liked CIV VI, Left 4 Dead, Risk of Rain 2. We are interested in that extraction looter that got removed from steam, Dark and Darker. We just haven't bother to get it through the BitTorrent links instead of steam. But we all love these types of games and dungeon crawling so it looks good.

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.

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We have like a solid list that goes back a few years

  • Age of Empires II
  • Homeworld 2
  • Counterstrike
  • Dawn of War
  • Titanfall 2
  • Call of Duty 2

But we just added some new ones:

  • Spellforce 3 and
  • Diablo IV
[–] Klunk@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro, dawn of war is what pushed me to build my first powerful gaming PC back in, like, 2008ish

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

It's still so good multiplayer. Easily one of our favourites.

[–] SavvyWolf@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Jee@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Over the last few years it's been Final Fantasy XIV, Vermintide 2, Valheim and some Generation Zero.

Hoping to get to Deep Rock Galactic and Sea of Thieves some time.

We go through phases. The game we will always return to when there's a new one is Monster Hunter, but we've played other games sporadically over the years. Most recently has been path of exile, which I normally get bored of relatively quickly but it's much more fun with friends.

[–] Kahizzle@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

It used to be Overwatch but I definitely feel like we're drifting away from it thanks to the chsnges made in Overwatch 2.

Hopefully we can all migrate back to Final Fantasy XIV. That was very chill and the game itself is amazing!

[–] Tubulous@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

We have a few games that are always in rotation - Left 4 Dead 2, Payday 2, Vermintide 2, Risk of Rain 2. Basically just coop FPS games that, as I list them, happen to be sequels lol. We also play Valheim when new updates come out. Lately trying out Earth Defense Force 5.

[–] ChrissieWF@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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!
