Nothing right now. Just came off a close to 300hr play through of 3 of the 4 routes plus the DLC content in Fire Emblem:TH and trying to give myself a 2 week break from gaming.
I have RE2 remake waiting for me when I'm ready to start gaming again.

deadly premonition origins. been doing nothing but side quests for 3 days. i don't remember having this much fun with a game's side quests, ever.
I tend to stick with tank jobs (gotta love the quick duty ques lol). If you have the time then its a good time to resubscribe. I rarely sub more than 1 month before I take a break but this time i'm hooked.
I was playing Doom Eternal but kinda got depressed with all the post apocalyptic stuff. So now I'm just making beaches and pleasing settings in Dreams.
Collecting eggs and gems in Spyro 3. Getting all the easy eggs out of the way, lol.
Played the Resident Evil 3 demo, that was really terrifying imo.

Oh shit I forgot Control DLC drops on Thursday for PS4 & PC. I'll be dipping into that as well.
Can I mostly ignore it for the majority of the game? Are there huge consequences. I'm sure there are youtube videos explaining this. I basically just want to treat this like a souls game and not worry about logging in x amount of times a week, etc.
Yes. There's no need to put up defenses at all. In fact, there are many veterans who don't have any. And you don't need to raid others' bases either, if you just want to beat the main 40 floors.
You may want to participate in the regional fights though, as you can get 1-3 Death Metals from them, depending on if your team wins or loses, and if you're in the top 5% of your team. The latter shouldn't be that hard at this point, when there aren't that many active raiders, and you can raid targets of all ranks during the fights. For example, I can reach the top 5% by just gathering about 5k points in fights, but team Finland isn't very active. It may be harder in bigger and more active teams. The fights occur once or twice a week, and last 24 hours.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, that if you fail a raid during a regional fight, you can't participate in it anymore.
Death Metals, the premium currency in the game, are mostly used to increase storage space for upgrade materials, and in the endgame to send materials back to your base from the Tengoku floors. You can also acquire them by doing quests, and completing the Stamp Rally.

You get one DM for every five stamps, and you don't even need to hit all the icons succesfully.
IIRC, you also get them from finding all Tales From The Barbs and Yotsuyama Bionics Pages. Their locations can be found in the link as well.
Feel free to PM me, if any questions arise. :) The game can be pretty cryptic, and it's recommended to read through all the info sheets it gives you. They don't tell you everything though, like the hidden hunger meter, that depletes your stamina if you don't eat anything for a while.
Yeah, the Chalice version was even more annoying, due to the limited space.
Have fun with your co-op run. :)
Remastered. Ran fine. Crashed a couple times, though.
Right now I'm in the 30 hour mark, but I played through story on normal, got all collectibles, did all research, etc. then played through again on Survivor with no Vita-Chambers. Still need to do the challenges to finish the achievements. One playthrough though may take like... 12 hours? Maybe.
Sick, I'll have to jump in then. I feel like if I get through those 40 floors and I'm still enjoying it I'll just deal with it, haha.
Thanks for all the info! Going to finish Sekiro first, but I'll play it before I jump to Ni-oh 2.
Red Dead 2: I'm on Epilogue 2, so I'd imagine it's ending soon?
Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z: It's a shame about the camera, because so far this is actually
pretty damn fun.

Did the PS Now 7-day free trial and managed to beat Control and half of Shadow of the Tomb Raider within that time frame. Somewhat sad I didn't beat Shadow but I slowed down because of being burnt out by Control
Other than that:
World War Z - Highly recommended, Division meets Days Gone - The gameplay loop and replayability are just so fun to me. I understand its probably not for everyone but its worth checking out.
Dragon Quest Builders - Finally attacking a Backlog. I started playing this because of all the Animal Crossing hype lol. Fun game but i'm building all these cool things, but dreading what happens at the end of each chapter. -__-
Rocket League - MP GOTG
Ring Fit - Suddenly glad I got the game when I did. Much needed for not just my physical health but my mental health too.

Great. Let me know how it goes.
FYI, there are no i-frames, and sometimes running sideways is as effective as rolling, like in the 34F boss video I posted. Also, if you end up using projectile weapons, you can reload by holding X and pushing L2/R2, depending on which hand you're holding the weapon. I'm not sure if the game tells you that. And you can store items in the Death Bags of fighters that are in the Freezer, if you run out of storage space.
The biggest roadblocks for me were 16F and 23F due to the bosses, and 30s in general. The Red Hot Iron is a reliable weapon all the way to 40F, but not so much further on. Consult the Wiki pages if you get stuck, as there's a lot of useful tips there. The Reddit channel is still active, and you can find help and guides there as well.
Happy climbing, senpai. :)
EDIT: Forgot to mention, that there's a free Starter Pack in the PSN store that gives you 30 Death Metals, and another for PS+ subscribers that gives you 4 DMs and 1 day's Express Pass. You get day's passes occasionally in the game as well. It's best to use them for farming materials, when you have more time to play, as they give you 10 more inventory slots and free elevator rides.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) -- Still quite enjoying it, although I find that I like it more just watching my wife play. She's on a bait mission prepping for Saturday's event. :)
Persona 5 Royal (PS4 Pro) -- A few hours in, loving it too. Never thought I'd see myself playing through P5 again, but here I am. LOL
Alan Wake (PC) -- In Episode 3, and loving it. Control was the first Remedy game I beat, so I'm hitting the back catalog, starting with this to make sure I finish it before AWE comes out.
Gylt (Stadia Pro) -- Just started today. Compression artifacts aside, it's been a smooth experience so far. This and Alan Wake seem to share a few similarities. :)
Skyrim (Switch) -- 65+ hours in and I really want to just finish it now. Focusing on MSQs. I might do more later, but I just kinda want to move on, but feel like I actually "completed" it.

I'm playing trying to find a Nintendo Switch that's not 500 dollars....
I got up early the other day, it was in stock at a Target. The first hour is reserved for elderly ppl tho. I get why, it's cool.
Some elderly person must have bought the rest of the stock....
I could pre order the Game Stop bundle but I already have BotW. Right now I'm at Switch launch stage: games but no system... Only reason I did that was because it looks like physical games were getting as scarce as the consoles.

At the moment A LOT of modern warfare, though the network is totally fucked. So much lag.
Doing a hard playthrough of bioshock 2 on ps4 for the platinum and started control

Just did like my 30th playthrough of Re2make, finally doing "fun" runs with infinite weapons for leftover raccoons, next I want to move my S+ runs up to no save runs.
I beat Isshin Sword Saint in Sekiro too. Fun boss. Time for NG+'s with No Kuro's Charm.
Little bit of Tenchu and Civ 6 on the side.

I caved and bought Mario Odyssey. I got a Switch just before the outbreak through a Facebook trade and I swore I wasn't going to spend $80 CAD on a new video game through all of this. But I needed a little joy. Just a little. Is that so wrong?
Oh, also I bought Animal Crossing. I'm just trying to play some joyful stuff.

Just beat The Last of Us for the first time. I got halway through when it first came out but only found it OK. I was 14 then. 21 now. I really appreciated the story, stealth, worldbuilding and acting, but found the gunplay ok and the puzzles very subpar (I was sick to death of ladders and pellets). Moving on to Bioshock now.

I've been replaying Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, and now I'm on the postgame, hoping to complete the game by beating all enemies, getting every enemy drop, etc., just like what I did with Etrian Odyssey Nexus.

Bumping my own thread again.
I beat FF7 Remake, RE3, and a couple other games.
Playing FFVI: Ted Woolsey translation (never finished VI before..) and Super Metroid currently.
Got a few games I'm debating between tossing in the rotation right now: FF Tactics (probably using fan patch stuff, any suggestions? never played the original, only played a bit of WotL and Advanced), Vagrant Story trying to get more than two hours in for the thousandth time, and Xenoblade Chronicles X (loved the original and what i played of the sequel)

I've beaten FFVIIR and P5R recently, I'm currently waiting for Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition so I'm having trouble deciding what to play in the meantime. :( Leaning towards something that isn't too grindy or involved so I don't get burnt out before taking probably 150+ hours to do everything I wanna do in XC:DE, but not sure what.
Alyx is really good. I'm sure you'll dig it.
XCOM Chimera releases this weekend so I'll be trying that out as well. Maybe even Gears Tactics when its released. It's a good time for video games tbh.
This game has taken over my life. I love it. Lol I wake up... and the first thing i do is check turnip prices every day. Lol
I even have a group chat with friends comparing prices.

Gears Tactics! yes!
Looks great, surprised its a full release but not disappointed.
