As most know here I have an Xbox Series X system and play various games. So far I have beat Gears of War4 and Doom The Dark Ages, currently playing Gears of War5, and trying WWE 2K25 Bloodline Edition. Does anyone else play games, on consoles, PC’s? Many moons ago I just played on PC’s, owned and ran several public servers, Quake II, Unreal Tournament 2K4 and COD 4 Modern Warfare, just got into the console thing recouping from my surgery. So, anyone else partake in this addictive habit…..
 
I have an XBox Series X as well. I don’t play as much as I used to because the whole playing until 2am and getting up for work thing doesn’t agree with me these days. I used to be a PlayStation acolyte and had a full racing rig - steering wheel, shifter, pedals w/clutch and spent all my waking hours racing in Gran Turismo. When I was regularly tracking my car I actually found that what I did in GT directly related to what I was doing on-track and vice versa. And then I lived in Skyrim for about two years…
 
I play some fairly simple ones. Some on-line stuff like the old Flash games. I was pretty into some of the early console games when they first came out because my kids played them. But they've gotten too complicated for this old man. :rolleyes:
My older son downloaded about 5 of the Doom games into my computer. I play them from time to time. But that's about it.
 
Duhhhh, I forgot to list Wreckfest…it’s a banger racing/demo derby game, here is some of the carnage that goes on in banger racing……

Doom 3 was one of my favorite PC games, bought the expansion pack when it came out, took me some time to beat the game, actually it was the first game I built a gaming PC to play it on, had all the flashing lights, clear side panel, miss that game and old PC.
 
I have played Euchre online a few times and I had a WWII game I played for a while until it was no longer supported in the PC. And sonething called Wolfenstien why many years ago on the PC.

I dis have an Odessy game system and baseball way way back but that got boring when we both got good enough at curveball that were impossible to hit. 0-0 20 inning games got boring lol.

I was however THE one to beat at Asteroids in the arcade game. Every machine in the area i had the top 10 scores constantly.
 
Who has time anymore? When I received my Xbox back from repair around 2012, I discovered upon reloading my games that I had spent 526 hours playing Skyrim. I thought about what I could have done instead. Haven’t played since then. But they sure are fun!
Before that I played Defender at the arcade so much I had blisters and knobs on my fingers.
 
Big time gamer here at one time. Use to write for a online gaming site. Went to 3 E3's back in the day when they were cool. lol

Since retirement mostly focus on competition shooting and cross-country motorcycle rides. BUT when home I still hit the Xbox Series X mostly racing games, sport games, and a few shooters. Got tired of the old run and gun games like I use to play ALOT of, now more tactical shooters like Insurgency Sandstorm and my newest, and one of the best tac shooters, Ready or Not, a semi realistic SWAT shooter. worth a try.
 
Early in my LE career the Xbox was a great R&R tool after a busy shift. I was a huge fan of Sprinter Cell and played each one of the game versions through in multiple ways i.e. total stealth, total carnage, thorough search of the area. I played it so much that the console literally caught on fire one epic night with smoke & small flames coming out of the vents. After that I played periodically with my kids, but never to the extent I had.

This is a great thread as perhaps I'm ready to get a new console for a winter pass time now that I'm retired. Some of the ads for the post apocalyptic games that come up on YT are interesting... Something along the lines of "Okay, you've gained control of an abandoned aircraft carrier and now have to provision and defend it!" Any 1st person games or anything similar to Splinter Cell you can recommend along those lines?
 
Short answer, I don't play video games because I got hooked on playing video games.

Semi-long answer, the very first day that the Xbox connects was available my wife went out and bought one. She bought a Biggest Loser game she bought a Zumba game and at some point she bought a Kinect Sports game.

I lost 20 lb playing Biggest Loser.

We still have the Xbox Kinect and we still have the Biggest Loser game and the sports game unfortunately connect games are no longer supported by Xbox so when I log into biggest loser I get the same exercise routine over and over and over again. So I just went and bought a Biggest Loser yoga DVD that is the same exercise and I just do that.

The Xbox sports game has a bowling game that my wife and I do. She loves the bowl but she can't pick up a ball anymore. There's a golfing game that I play all the time which is good for my flexibility. There's a boxing game that I play for cardio.

There's a few other games there's a track and field game that I play sometimes there was a baseball game that I play sometimes there's a ping pong game that I play sometimes. But it gets me up off the couch and I'm actually moving and I'm actually burning calories and I'm actually stretching my body.

That's about the extent of my video games playing.



That's not me it's just an example video but I actually have gotten a couple holes in one in this game
 
I used to play spider solitaire years ago when working offshore as a commercial diver. While on the boat, all I would do in my off time was read paperbacks or play spider solitaire in my rack. Not much to do while spending weeks and months on end stuck on a boat. But I haven't played spider solitaire in years. I don't play any other games.
