TheMightyEthan Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Is anyone actively playing any online games? I am starving for social interaction and would kill for some voice chat. I'll even buy the Destiny expansions if that's what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Define "actively" I played some Warzone before eternal consumed my soul, and I've been thinking about jumping back into Warframe. I want to get into Destiny, but I don't know if there are any new players here, or people who wouldn't mind joining for some early game stuff (unless that doesn't exist anymore, don't know how it works nowadays ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 I play Fortnite on Switch with my younger bro occasionally. I'm surprised he hasn't made use of the Easter holidays to play some more with me. It's not that hard of a game so most of my time with it is really just a reason to chat with him. I've not played Warframe for aaaggggeeesss but was a decent way through it (probably less than halfway now given all the expansions to it, I last played before the open-world area was added). I got Anthem PS4 for like £3 not too long ago and not too far into it so there's that. I have a chunk of the Jackbox titles, could figure how the streaming side of that works (I've only ever played it locally but I know grand scheme it's not too hard to stream and later games are designed to be). I think if you get GOG Galaxy 2.0 you can combine your games in one list which might make it easier for seeing what have and what platform. edit: figured be useful as its own thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 @MetalCaveman do you have destiny on PC? I'd be down for that. @deanb I do have Switch online, but I've never played Fortnite, is it f2p, or do you have to buy like the season passes?

deanb Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 It's totally free to play. Don't need Switch Online to play either, hence the ideal game to play with my younger bro since overall he's not on Switch enough to justify the Switch Online (he's not always well behaved enough to play on the Switch...plus parents suck at parental controls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Cool. It is currently downloading. Also have Destiny 2 re-downloading on Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Is Animal Crossing considered an online game? I've been playing with my friends and honestly it's the first time in years I can remember using voice chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, PC, I have to crank down some stuff, but it runs well enough. 3 hours ago, deanb said: It's totally free to play.

I have the internal memory and a 16GB card (for now) would that be enough or do I need more space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 @The Cowboy JRPGing Poet yeah, if you're playing online @MetalCaveman Fortnite is 9 GB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'd recommend loading it up too, as it will want a few extra bits on first running (especially after each big update) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 That's probably good advice for Destiny too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Okay, got Destiny all set up and my PC mic configured, so I'm good to go with that game. Really any other game on PC too, Apex or Warzone or whatever people play. @MetalCaveman I would love to run through the Destiny early game stuff with you sometime.

MetalCaveman Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I now have Fornite installed, already launched it to make sure it was up to date. Don't know how voice works on Switch though. @TheMightyEthan Sure, let me know when, tonight I have to make/have dinner and update the game. Any other day works, just let me know times.

deanb Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Headphone port is a headset port, if you've a headset/in-line mic set with the single jack with triple bands it's work fine (same as will work with PS4 headset port). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Anyone want to set up a time to play tomorrow? When are people available? My first choice would be Destiny 2 on PC but I'm honestly up for anything free/cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'm open any time after 11:30 am central (9:30 PT, 12:20 ET, 16:30 GMT/UTC,) , may be a bit later depending on morning work, but usually that works. Destiny 2 is fine by me, yesterday I learned that I'm Spoiler in Titan, working for Sloane if anyone knows how early on that is. Fortnite on Switch works, I also have Warzone on PS4, anything else goes, though I may have to download/update it depending on what it is.

deanb Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 4:30pm GMT onwards is super fine by me. Even on my late days that's when I end work (though not working today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 @deanb are you guys on summer time now? Trying to make sure I calculate the times right. Same for you, @MetalCaveman? Unless something comes up with work for me, I think 12:30 CDT should work, which if I'm calculating right is also 12:30 for Metal and 6:30 for Dean.

deanb Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah we're Summer time so according to whattimeisitrightnow.com means 11:30am CT is 5:30pm BST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Cool, I won't be available until closer to 12:30, but it won't hurt my feelings if you guys want to start without me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Which Destiny/console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Destiny 2 on PC. The base game is free, right? *Edit - Yes, the base game is free, which is all Metal and I have anyway. Looks like there are a couple of things left out, like some raids, but all the campaigns and strikes are in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 If that doesn't work we can do Fortnite on Switch, I'll just need to figure out how to get my mic set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
