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.

    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 !titanfall@sopuli.xyz

    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…

    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!

    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!

    Destiny 2. It gets a lot of hate (a lot of it deserved) but every week me and two friends run dungeons and it’s always fun.

    We are very competitive gamers, so the list is:

    • Rocket league
    • Rainbow six siege

    When there are more players:

    • The forest (original or the new one)
    • among us ඞ
    • or you can play team vs team in the above games

    I wish I had friends who play what I play. I’d love to get back into Guild Wars 2, but I just never have a group to play with!

    And, my friends are never playing when I play, but back in College, my friends and I would play CSGO, Minecraft, Oldschool Runescape, and a few other games.

      Oh man, please hit me up if you’d like to jump into GW2. One of my favourite things in any game is just adventuring across the land, doing quests, uncovering and discussing characters and lore, slowly improving out items together without worrying about “trading efficiently”, taking on little challenges like Dungeons or bosses, etc.

      I’ve also gotten into Raiding lately with other first timers. We literally just go in without reading any guides, no roles assigned, and just try to work out how to get past each encounter/boss together.

      Tbh the GW2 community is lovely as they come, might be worth just trying to scope out a guild that has similar interests to you and making friends that way. I didn’t have friends that played guild wars 2 when I started but I met plenty through the game and it’s been super fun

        I’m new to Lemmy and couldn’t find a way to tag you, so apologies for that! But my reply to Skiptrace was also kind of a reply to you :)
