Anybody still playing RDR2? I'm about 60% through the campaign. It's been a really fun game so far!! I'm actually still uncovering sections of the map too. I tried the online portion briefly and it seemed ok. I'll probably focus on the single player the most, at least for now.

Nope, still haven't finished the tutorial area too many games never enough time. I am ashamed to say I have around 130 games on my Steam account as well as w/e console games I may have lol.

Let me know when there is a game like Ultima Online out

This is the closest thing I believe...….bought into this about a year ago and it was fun and has some similarities but isn't quite a UO2. The best part of this is the game is 100% moddable.

A team has been working on Legends of Ultima for well over a year now and a lot of stuff is in place with a realistic map of UO in the works.

Nice, I'll check those out.

Yes, to play the latter you have to have Legends of Aria as Legends of Ultima is a modded version.

I used to always by physical copies but switched to digital when my wife wanted to play ps4 games. On ps4 we can game share since her account is linked to mine, so buying one digital copy allows us to both play.

Don't feel bad, I got about an hour in a month ago on Rd2 and have been putting it off going back since. I just know it's such a big game and dont wanna commit....yet.

I won't admit to how many games I've bought impulsively only to later realize I have little intention of actually playing them. "Looked good in the 10 second Amazon preview clip"

Separate consoles?

I finally got around to playing Final Fantady 15. What an awful entry in the series. Such terrible storytelling.

Next up is God of War.

Haha Yeah I've done some impulse buys myself. In fact, I was looking at Mutant League Football on my Xbox last night and I was thinking, "why did I buy that?". I think I've played it once.

Yeah we ended up buying another ps4 through a Facebook local garden sale page for a good price. She didn't want to share with me every time she was ready to play Overwatch.

So my account is listed as "primary ps4" under the settings. Then we added her as linked to my primary account. Any digital game I have, she is allowed to play -- even at the same time.

Xbox has this as well and it's amazing. My buddy and I game share and take turns buying games. When he bought RDR2, I just happened to be on my console, and a notification popped up letting me know the game was automatically starting to download on my Xbox. Great feature.

The only caveat to it is I have 2 Xboxes in my house. I can only access those games he shares on one Xbox. Small price to pay for free games I suppose.

Wow talk about going from spam to steak. GOW will make up for your disappointment; best game I've played in years.

Actually, I might go with Shadow of the Tomb Raider first. I was thinking GOW was shorter, but looks like Shadow might be by a few hours. Trying to knock games off my list quickly, so shorter usually goes first (there are many older games I have but haven't played that should go first, but these two have much greater interest to me, so they jumped ahead). Looking forward to playing Shadow with Atmos sound. That was one of the best parts of RE7.

I have a spreadsheet with the games I intend to play and their estimated lengths:

I really enjoyed GOW. And talk about a gorgeous game is you have a 4K/HDR setup.

I'm going to be running through it again on PS Pro with a 4K. Only game I've played through twice was Last of Us recently a couple years back. I forgot how addicting that axe was in combat.

Unfortunately, I do not yet. I will probably be adding this in the next month or so, but I still only have the regular PS4.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

The circle is now complete, got this on Newegg today for 339$. A LG 4K 32 inch PC monitor https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025172

I'm sure it'll still look fantastic.

I just got myself dual monitors about 6-8 months ago. Only 1080p monitors, but dang, I should have went 4K. I just got a KILLER deal on these ones. I'm glad to see the 4K prices coming down though (overall anyways).

Have you guys seen these bad boys?
