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 :)

    I’ve got a small group at the moment so we tend to stick to Valheim. Very little progress each time. Usually a lot of catching up on talk and building a slightly bigger building.

    Will throw in a multiplayer humble game every now and then to switch things up.

    I have been gaming with the same group of friends for the last ten years. We’re three people busy with real-life commitments, live on different sides of the country, so we try to play games where they act as a social arena as well. The conversations we have are more important than the game itself.

    We’ve been gaming Valheim, Raft, The Forest and Risk of Rain 2 for the past years. We’ve also played some Elden Ring and Hunt: Showdown, but neither works as well as the beforementioned.

    On that note, can anyone reccomend games like the ones above? Been eyeing Grounded…

    A mixture of Dead by Daylight, Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim and V Rising. Depends who and how many of the group are online and what kind of mood we’re all in!

    Depends on the group.

    • Group 1: Halo, the old ones on MCC. Just goofy customs and fucking around.
    • Group 2: More recent multiplayer games, bit more competitive, though Titanfall is always on the list
    • Group 3: Strategy. AoE, Rise of Nations, Supreme Fommander

      I love Titanfall 2, I’ve yet to find a game like it. There’s so much going on and I feel that not being a twitch shooter means I can keep up more easily with the young-uns.

      Criminally underplayed game.

        TF2 got freaking murdered. Me and friends keep going back to it again and again. I’m so happy northstar exists now, it’s too bad it can’t do anything for console players.

        Also, come say hi at [email protected]

    I’ve got a couple groups of friends that my wife and I play Jackbox with over discord, it’s almost as good as being in the same room!

    Almost nothing.

    We’ve all such different tastes, but the last thing we played was Forest 2 and Grim Dawn.
