A little bit of self-promotion for the company I work for.

@Alamias Sadly as much as I have been interested in this game for a while, my current lack of a strong gaming computer means I probably won’t be able to play this.

Oh I am sure you have had shades PEAK entertainment.

With murder.

Have you played REPO?

@Meg & @dvoraen If you both like PEAK, I would also recommend RV There Yet?, which is basically PEAK + chainsmoking + getting an RV to the top of the mountain.

I have watched a few people play it, but it seemed like the kind of game that would make me rage quit. lol

It’s the ideal game for therapists to play instead of doing our notes. Lots of clinically inadvisable langage, do recommend.

Does anyone else increasingly feel like you have no time ever for recreation? Here’s an idea of my backlog, assuming I did full completions including postgame:

finish Octopath Traveler I - 20h? (Postgame quests and bosses)
Octopath Traveler II - 120h?
Dragon Quest I-III (HD-2D) - 200h? <- hard to judge; probably higher
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined - 150h? <- estimate due to 200h on DQXI
Horizon: Forbidden West - 70h?
God of War: Ragnarok - 70h?

Now let’s add in stuff just released or soon to launch that will undoubtedly consume focus!

Windrose (EA launch) - > 50h easily I’m sure; depends on content.
Soulmask (1.0) - > 100h if I commit to it

I’m doomed.

I started playing FF14 for the first time recently. MMOs tend to be a thing I go to when I’m, neither playing DnD or MUing. Played a whole lot of ESO, and on a lark and at the reccomendation of a friend, I started playing FF14.

I thought the game was just fluffed up hype.

I was very wrong. I’m sorry SquareEnix,

I now understand the jokes about how this game is single handedly holding up SquareEnix financially.

Yep. FFXIV is really keeping them in business. Prior to that it was the Dragon Quest series.

Love me some Arc Raiders. Great game for anyone who loves that kind of game.

@Testament

It’s quite fun. And some of the expansions have some darn good storylines!
