Fortunately the timing of everything happened during a large influx of new games, so I've picked up Nioh 2 and Doom Eternal, might grab Animal Crossing sometime, and I have Resident Evil 3 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Remake on pre-order.  Along with that I have Jurassic World Evolution, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey because there was a real good PC sale for them.

A combination of a couple different things tbh. I have taken it upon myself to give a try to games I have never had the chance to give a try from the collection to see whether or not it clicks and so far, I've been having fun discovering some games I didnt think I would really spend time with but also so far one game that bored me very quick which I thought was going to be good. Otherwise, there have been games I have played through since this whole thing really started like I finally finished Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and then I ran through Doki Doki Literature Club which to my surprise was really good.

Games I have tried so far that I never played:

Rumble Rose
Justice League Heroes
Matrix: Path of Neo
ZombiU

Just got 4 new games for my birthday earlier this month: Batman Arkham Knight, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Blasphemous, and Hollow Knight. Plus, I bought Dragon Age Inquisition last year around my birthday but hadn’t gotten around to playing it yet. So in terms of games, I’m set for a while. And if I finish all those before the world gets back to normal, I still haven’t finished Fallout 4 yet.

I downloaded FFVII and Agent A on Xbox One.
Been playing those along with Gems of War. My work didn’t get shut down, so same amount of free time so far.

Just mainly on my Switch, playing Timespinner on my free time since I'm still working from home.

My company is still business as usual but all remotely from home along with conference call meetings. Hours are pretty much the same as before, just don't have to travel anywhere.

Let's see... I've been locked at home for about 2 weeks now... I played some random 360/PS1 games and then Doom 64 and Doom Eternal.  I'm really enjoying Doom Eternal, but I don't think it's gonna last me much longer.

Mostly Yakuza Kiwami so far. Took a day on Monster Hunter World to fight the Raging Brachydios & Furious Rajang. And, since everyone else I know is playing it, I ordered a copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons & it should be here Friday (we'll see).

I am trying to play through some of the previous Persona games starting from 1 (even though I don't need to) before my copy of Persona 5 Royal arrives, which won't be here until second week of April anyways. I also have a couple of visual novels for bedtime stories.

Been replaying Fate/Stay Night: Réalta Nua for a refresher. My significant other is getting into the series, so decided to replay all 3 routes as it has been a loooong time.

Mainly the Mega Man Zero Legacy Collection. I finished Zero through Zero 3 so far, and I'm about halfway through Zero 4.

I'm also trying to figure out something to play alongside it while I wait for the Trials of Mana release.

Since i can't get out of my home and my work had to temporally close because of the Covid-19, i'm full time on Animal Crossing: New Horizons (that i had to get on the Nintendo e-shop because my pre-order on Amazon is still not getting shipped, but that's understandable) and since i've received my copy of The Yakuza Collection a few weeks before i'm thinking on restarting the full series on PS4. Also since i have a "lot" of free time i've decided to come back and update a bit my collection on VGC  8).

Mass Effect Andromeda on and off. Going for a 100% playthrough, personally i freaking love the game, but that might be because i never played it on its initial release when it was borked af  XD

GTA V, mostly the Doomsday heists and hating every minute of it. Not because it's hard, but because the people i'm playing it with are making it hard  >.<

The Quiet Man........... I really wish i hadn't started this one, urgh.
The devs should have just made a short film, because that feels like that's what it should have been and not a game.
Honestly, when the ads came out i didn't know what i was expecting, but i know i wasn't expecting a game that 7/8ths of it is silent live action movie and the other 1/8ths is an EXTREMELY badly made beat em up  :/
It's just poorly made and poorly thought out and buggy and glitchy as all hell, which is impressive given the lack of actual gameplay.

And i finished Wailing Heights while i've been quarantined.
Great ideas, love the graphical style and the overall themes of the game. It's a bit of a technical mess, but it works ok  :)

Back to work on Monday though, i've not seen the sun for about 12 days now. I think if i step out in the sun at this point i may just burst into flames  XD

Playing Doom Eternal, Children of Zodiarcs, Resident Evil 0 and Gears of War 3. I haven't left the house except for work (I am lucky to work in one of the deemed "essential" jobs by the government, although we are told to stay home if we become sick)

Mostly Animal Crossing New Horizons. Though I picked up a few games on spring sale as well on the Japanese eshop, they had Ni No Kuni, Yokai Watch, and Layton DX for 1,000 yen each. Mostly playing Ni No Kuni and Yokai Watch as I can't yet make out the instruction in Layton.

Been mostly working on improving my speedrun of Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, an obscure SNES RPG.

Nice! I stumbled into a copy of that buying a $30 SNES lot at a thrift store. If this whole thing runs long, perhaps I'll start it up & bug you for tips!

It was one of my favourite games as a kid. It's this bizarre hybrid of Open-world exploration/Tactical strategy/RPG/Economic simulation. I never actually owned it until I was an adult, but I'd rent it from Blockbuster every chance I got. It has some decent replay value as it has multiple characters, each with their own story that intertwines with the other characters, so you have to play all six stories to get the whole plot. It has some continuity with the original Uncharted Waters as well, but no knowledge of that game is required, since it's a self-contained story. My only big complaint with it is that it has 6 stories but only one save slot!

Wanted to pick up Doom Eternal, haven't done it yet though. Been mostly playing random PlayStation stuff, got a PSTV and put some psp stuff on it. Wipeout Omega Collection, Doom 64 and Quake Champions for my multiplayer fix

DOOM Eternal. I already beat it last Saturday and I have a 100% save file as of thursday (2 days ago). It's a blast.

Also the originals (Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II, Final DOOM)

My copy of Eternal hasn't arrived yet (I pre-ordered the day before release just to get D64), so I have been taking the opportunity to play the original 2 games, which I had never beaten before.  I'd of course beaten the shareware chapter 25+ years ago, but never the whole game.  I finished a couple of days ago, and I am now on Chapter 24 of Doom II, which is way harder and more dense with enemies than the first.

In chapter 30 (end game) I'll give you a hint, just in case you get stuck, but I won't spoil it for you. But you don't win the boss by shooting down his spawns think rocket launcher ;)

I already knew what the trick was (The Icon is a pretty famous boss), but it was still a major league pain in my ass.  Kept getting bad spawns that made it difficult to actually get those rocket shots off.
