Instead it is the nearly exactly three year old No Man's Sky which becomes the most played game this week. A bunch of WIPs fill out the list of games, and a good supply of systems which is topped by the Switch yet again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 My time for the week: GameCube: Gauntlet: Dark Legacy - 394 min. Still hacking away on the Easy difficulty with my wife. This version has the reputation of being incredibly buggy and crash-prone, and we got our first crash the other day, but so far it hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected (knock on wood...). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantgames:) Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I spent alot of my free time playing Ion Fury this week. I'm a huge fan of Build engine games (Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Ect.) so when I heard they were making a new Build engine game in 2019 I knew I just had to have it! And man Ion Fury does not disappoint! It's got awesome weapons and one liners galore. And to top it off the voice of Duke Nukem has returned to voice the main baddie! It's quite amazing what they've managed to squeeze out of the ol' Build engine! Windows 7 Ion Fury - 535min 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I had a week 'staycation' last week since the kiddos were back in school and there were lots of things to do around the house. That's not to say I didn't get some quality game time in, though! I was building some in Dragon Quest Builders 2, I finished Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, raced in Horizon Chase Turbo, played co-op with my wife on Stardew Valley, and borrowed my son's copy of Doom 2016. Switch: Doom 2016 (I don't remember what this game is called on the tracker) -- 1271 minutes Dragon Quest Builders 2 -- 120 minutes Horizon Chase Turbo -- 684 minutes Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 -- 705 minutes Stardew Valley -- 424 minutes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 PC Curse of the Assassin 240 WiiU NES Remix 55 X360 Rayman Legends 132 XOne Pandemic the Board Game 43 A bit of variety but some relatively low time from me. Curse of the Assassin is a Gamebook Adventure which is like an electronic choose your own adventure. The writing isn't great, but it gets the job done, and my wife likes me to read it to her so that we can make the choices together. It's a nice alternative to just watching TV or playing games separately but perhaps a stretch to call it co-op gaming. If my wife logged her time, Pandemic would probably be the #1 game for this week. She really got into it. Thanks for the tip on it being included in Gamepass @Agamon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agamon Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 PC No Man's Sky (1358 min) XB1 Borderlands 2 (134 min) The update for NMS is a tad buggy, but nothing game breaking and the developers are doing a good job squashing them with updates. I've both started a new game, as some fundamental things have changed, but I've also continued my original game, and that works fine. Exploring is a lot of fun in this game, and the storyline is interesting, too. Also still plugging away at BL2 with my brother 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 By the end of 2018, PUBG had 18.3% of the total play time, now it is down to 15.1%. For comparison, our friend Kaboom! in the classic tracker "only" holds 10.7% of its total tracked times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wish I could quit it! This will be a down week for sure. I only played two rounds last night & I’m taking tonight off & maybe a couple of more. My slumps are aggravating me more & more lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 My time for the week: GameCube: Gauntlet: Dark Legacy - 316 min. Beat Easy difficulty alongside my wife. At least on this setting, the toughest boss isn't the final one (Garm), or even either of the fights against the second-to-last one (Skorne), but an earlier foe (I think it was the Wraith). The last few boss fights are totally trivial by comparison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 PC Curse of the Assassin 50 X360 Rayman Legends 337 Toy Soldiers 211 XOne Pandemic the Board Game 449 I've got just one more of the portrait worlds to play through on Rayman. I'll probably knock that out this week. Toy Soldiers is a "classic" from the beginning of the digital download age. I remember playing a demo when it came out almost a decade ago, but I never bought it. Somewhere along the way I eventually got a download key for cheap and am finally playing it. I won a game on the hardest difficulty of Pandemic, but it seems the real challenge is to eradicate all the diseases AND win the game. My wife still hasn't achieved that feat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 All Switch time this week. I played through the crazy-long demo for Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition- there is a LOT you can do before it's like 'you should buy the game to continue'. Rounded out time playing some Rad.. which is Rad! Also a bit of Horizon Chase Turbo, but not a lot. Switch: Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition demo -- 700 minutes Horizon Chase Turbo -- 153 minutes Rad -- 1547 minutes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agamon Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 PC No Man's Sky (686 min) XB1 Slay the Spire (523 min) Still playing NMS. Almost to the point I was at in my pre-Beyond game in my new one, in less than half the time because I know things this time around. Most of the common bugs people were complaining about look to have been taken care of at this point, though I'm still unable to remap my Steam controller touch pad from acting like a thumbstick to acting like a mouse, so I'm using my Xbox controller. I played mouse and keyboard for a while, but dogfighting is tough with that setup. I picked up Slay the Spire on Steam while it was in Early Access last year. Played about 30 hours before moving on. I haven't tried it again since it officially released, but it popped up on Game Pass, so I started again on the XB1. Five runs in and I got to the top of the third level, but didn't quite have enough defense to take out the final boss. Not usually big on roguelikes, but I love deck builders and this game is a lot of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) It was a somewhat slow but nice week for gaming around here this past week. A little Doom 3, a few new Atari games to play. Good stuff! Ineligible (All Atari 2600) Gremlins - 37 minutes Frankenstein's Monster - 61 minutes Millipede Trak-Ball - 15 minutes Missile Command Trak-Ball - 30 minutes Shooting Arcade - 109 minutes Solar Fox - 35 minutes Nintendo Switch Doom 3 - 580 minutes Total Video Game Play Time This Week 867 minutes (14 hours 27 minutes) [580 minutes eligible] Individual System Play Times This Week Nintendo Switch: 580 minutes Atari 2600: 287 minutes The primary game that kept me occupied this past week was Doom 3 on the Switch. I had beaten the main game two weeks ago and spent the last week playing through the Resurrection of Evil and Lost Mission expansions, both of which were excellent though I definitely liked Lost Mission the best of the two. I wrapped up the two expansions on Saturday and I'm actually kinda sad they're over, I really enjoyed everything Doom 3 had to offer and I know I'll be back to play it again in the years to come. Other than Doom 3 the rest of the games played around here this past week were Atari 2600 games, a couple of which we just got physical copies and the rest were played off the Harmony Encore cartridge. For the physical games both my wife and I played the rather rare horror themed titles Frankenstein's Monster and Gremlins. Of the two Frankenstein's Monster was the big hit, and we both played it a good dozen or so times trying to beat it but neither of us were able to succeed yet. Frankenstein's Monster is definitely a fantastic game that's worth the somewhat high price tag. Gremlins... not so much. Don't get me wrong, Gremlins isn't a bad game, it's just not a $30 game in terms of gameplay or uniqueness. If you can find a copy for $10 or so I'd say go for it, but don't pay full price for this one. For the Atari games that were played off the Harmony cart this past week, both the trak-ball hacks of Millipede and Missile Command were fantastic and definitely games I need to buy physical copies of from the AtariAge store and the light gun game Shooting Arcade is one that I absolutely need to get a repro made of. Between the two Atari 2600 light gun games, the Shooting Arcade prototype and Sentinel, Shooting Arcade is by far the better of the two and is still quite a bit of fun to play today. Lastly for the week, I had a great time playing Solar Fox for the Atari 2600 High Score Club. I had always heard that it was a unique and really fun game but had never played it before, and by golly it sure was both of those things! I don't think I'm terribly good at Solar Fox so I doubt I'll do very well in the HSC this round, but it's still an awful lot of fun to play. Well, I think that about wraps up everything for this week, so until next time—and as always—best wishes and happy gaming to you and yours!
