Re: What are you playing?
I'll check later, usually there is. I loaded it up at 12:00 last night and only was able to get a few swings in and started to build my Diamond Dynasty team. I have been flipping cards on and off today but am itching to actually play.i got bugs wrote:Is there a home run derby mode in the show 2020??

Re: What are you playing?
Yeah, basically the same thing. Last year I had a lot of fun with it and spent $0 in microtransactions. I don't play online but there are a couple of offline playmodes that are exciting and challenging.i got bugs wrote:Let me know, thanksSimple Torture wrote:I'll check later, usually there is.

They do a lot of in-season stuff, like playable moments (so if an MLB team has an exciting comeback or walkoff, or if someone throws a no-hitter, you can try to recreate it in-game), and every two weeks or so they update player ratings, so I dunno how that's going to work between now and whenever the season actually begins.

Re: What are you playing?
I like that because you don't have to play full games, just situations.. so you can kinda quick play this n that

Doom (2016) breaks the logjam.

There's a free Resident Evil 3 demo available now. Haven't played yet but definitely diving in this weekend. I still remember nearly shitting my pants from the original in 1999!

Re: What are you playing?
Doom Eternal.
I'm finding it much harder than Doom 2016, though as you're given more tools it gets a bit more doable. I liked feeling like an unstoppable badass in 2016, and you don't get that here - it's a lot more tense.
Also, it's basically like a puzzle game: Survey the battlefield, pick out priority targets, pick the right tool (weapon/mod) for each, repeat. It's actually quite "think-y".

Good to know. I'm really starting to enjoy Doom (2016). Will check out Eternal after a price drop.ABNorman wrote:Doom Eternal.

I saw that in my library last night and thought,"I should play that again."tragabigzanda wrote:I’ve gotten really back into Apex legends, which I hadn’t played for several months. At some point, they implemented a skill-based match making algorithm, and it’s working really well: I’m almost never finding myself in matches where there are a bunch of pros with 20,000 kills who are smoking me.
This would be a good time to get into the game if you’ve been curious, and are looking to kill time at home.

Re: What are you playing?
I'm finding this one a lot less enjoyable than 2016. It's like they took everything that was great about 2016 and TURNED IT UP TO 11, and it's just too much.ABNorman wrote:Doom Eternal.

Also, I've just encountered an enemy that makes it more Dark Souls than Doom - not what I signed up for!

I kind of want to replay Red Dead 2. Seems like the game to play right now.

I so desperately want to play a good action RPG but I can't find anything that looks appealing

Not an action RPG, but did you ever play the 2016 Doom?LoathedVermin72 wrote:I so desperately want to play a good action RPG but I can't find anything that looks appealing
