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 :)

Final Fantasy XIV, Terraria, GTFO, Killing Floor 2, Guilty Gear Strive/Xrd Rev 2, 7 Days to Die, Minecraft, and recently some of us have been playing MegaMan Battle Network VS matches. What is popular changes quite often

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.

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 ^^

[–] Emmi@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

We are very competitive gamers, so the list is:

  • CS:GO
  • Trackmania
  • Rocket league
  • Rainbow six siege

When there are more players:

  • The forest (original or the new one)
  • among us ඞ
  • or you can play team vs team in the above games

Me and another friend are pretty consistent in doing the evening 3v3 tournament. Went from plat rank to diamond over the span of half a year.

[–] itsgallus@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] coffeentacos@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ChrissieWF@feddit.de 1 points 2 years 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!

[–] aka_oscar@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Terraria Minetest Minecraft Team Fortress 2 Factorio

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!

[–] Riyria@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Klunk@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] PeeJay@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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!

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.

Fortnite. It's free!

[–] memphis@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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 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

[–] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Vermintide 2, Warframe, TF2, Battlefield 1, and once in a great while we get to sit down and try to play warhammer lol.

[–] GameBoy_Advance@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

i typically play Destiny 1 and 2 as well as Battlefront 2 with my friend group. sometimes we quad team on minecraft bedwars. and even duel each other sometimes

[–] scyrp@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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
