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.

    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…

    Y’all play games with friends? My irl friends only really like FPSs, and since that’s not my jam we don’t really play together. And most of the people I know online are more into single player games until I found them in an mmo (but even then we tend to only play that one together).

    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!

    It’s pretty inconsistent with my friend groups, but most frequently revolves around either Apex Legends or a mix of fighting games, currently Street Fighter 6. Monster Hunter often enters the rotation, as well as other cooperative games.

    I’ve been trying to get folks to play Omega Strikers with me but have had little luck so far, nor have I really had the time to really get into it and get very comfortable with all the mechanics.

    Brawlhalla, hands down. A Free-to-play platform-fighting game that is surprisingly technical with its movement and combos, so it can lead to very interesting and epic moments.

    It has a huge roster but you need to pay in-game currency to access most characters, which you gain very quickly by just playing the game, so its a non issue.

    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!

    League of Legends, but with the attitude of “We really need to try more games, but this is the only one we all play.”

    We’ve also played Overwatch and FFXIV, but they don’t really stick that well long term.
