Video games are being released mostly every day, and sometimes we are getting overwhelmed with how much choices of games we wanted to play but barely get the games we play. There are times that we could not play the games we wanted to play due to limited hardware to run the game.

I always wanted to play Gears of War 4 and Halo 5, but I do not have an Xbox One or any Xbox Series hardware. If you suggest to play in on a PC, I am sorry but I use my PC as productive tool. Also, I wanted to play Nights of Azure 2 on the Nintendo Switch, but the system cannot handle the game. Best advice from a friend is to play that game on PlayStation4 instead.

What reason that hold you back in order to play that specific game?

What holding you back when it comes to gaming?

Sorry to say but mine are some of AAA Games, MOBA, Battle Royale, Virtual Novel,

What's a really popular game everyone LOVES but you don't like? 

Let's start another thread of game recommendations. The rules are simple:

- Recommend a game that you enjoy playing
- Share your reasons why!

For this week, I still recommend the game Armored Core VI. I'm stuck at Chapter 3, slowly fighting my way to Chapter 4. As I mentioned[ last week](https://whatoplay.com/discuss/375/), it's a really cool game that makes you feel like you're Gundam pilot.

Recommend a Game (Sep 11 to 17, 2023)

Another week to shout to the world the games that you want others to know about!

The rules are simple:

- Recommend a game that you recently played
- State the reason(s) why

As with last week, I still recommend Armored Core VI (PC). I've been playing it over the weekend and is very much stuck at the first boss (Balteus). I've wasted close to 3 hours trying to defeat it. The closest I got was <15% of its life left and this happened twice.

This week, I'll try different builds that will match my play-style. I'm gonna kill it soon!

How about you? Share some of your memorable gaming stories. 

Recommend a Game (Sep 4 to Sep 10, 2023)

There are soo many streamers right now and, at least for the most popular ones, they seem to have plenty enough people in their chats. Makes me wonder how many streamers avid viewers usually watch. I can only imagine following one or two myself, since streams go for very long hours. How about you guys?

How often do you guys watch live gaming streams?

I've played a lot of video games for the past few years, and I guess everybody has also noticed that some games have a lot of red flags. One thing I dislike about a game is if it relies too much on microtransactions. Some games offer it in order to give an edge to players who pay more, and this totally turns me off because it takes away my principle of playing a game fair and square.

Biggest red flag on a video game?

For the vast number of games, we have bought in our lifetime, we all know that we each of us gamers have that special game that we always go back to. What game/s we always go back to when we just need that gaming fix. Some of you there go back to **PROJECT ZOMBOID**. Some are just wanting to hack their way back to Hyrule and play **HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF CALAMITY**. And others just want to play **DOTA 2** and make it a day.

For me, I always play **STREET FIGHTER 2: HYPER FIGHTING EDITION**. Every Street Fighter fan knows the game, and most of them go back to play this game because of their root history of the game. What game do you always go back to?

RePost: I have been playing **STREET FIGHTER 30th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION** on my Nintendo Switch since Day One on my other account. Never saw my playtime until now.



Game/s We Always Go Back To?

Lately, video games aren't as fun as they used to be for me. Has anyone else felt this way, and what did you do?

What to do when video games aren't fun any more

Game storylines that remained with you and had a great impact (negative or positive) for a very long time. 

Mine was "To The Moon" 

What game storyline that stayed with you through all these years? 

I'm curious, what games do you specifically play on your phone?  Not on a tablet... just on a phone.

Ever since I got an iPad, I've been preferring to play mobile games on it than on my phone.  But there are just games that I prefer playing on a smaller screen.

A few I enjoy more on my phone are: **finity. ,  satisgame, like dino!,** and **nekograms**

Do you play games on your phones?

I noticed most of the gamers here are either PC gamers or Mobile Gamers. Some here are Xbox and PlayStation gamers. Few are into the Nintendo Switch games. What is your prefered gaming system and why?

ATTENTION: Gamers Of WhaToPlay

i saw the poll on Threads and wonder if you guys/gals have the same hours as the results.

![Screenshot 2023-11-07 221919.png](https://gamer-image.s3.amazonaws.com/discuss/48_1699366832478.png)i play about 20-40 hours a week

How many hours of a week do you spend playing?

Hi guys, how are you, I've been searching some games recently, but idk what to play, I've got some ideas but I haven't decided anything yet.

Recently I've just finished cyberpunk 2077 and the dlc, what a game, I really enjoyed it, I'm searching games with a great story telling, rpg features, open world and also action, games that I can really enjoy and feel immersed in them; for example I've played Nier replicant and automata, the horizon series, tlou 1 and 2, rd2, I've also played rpg like Bloodborne, I'm finishing sekiro, ds3 and just started elden ring, but I'd like something more "chill" than those.

Thank to everyone.

p.s. games that you think there are some games I should try, even though they're not what I'm searching for, are well accepted.

What should I play next? (on PS5)

That's a 2 consecutive year feature from whatoplay. 

You guys are amazing! What an amazing year end content. Kudos to the team and to all out here silently supporting this community!

Thanks for the feature whatoplay!

We are a month away from the end of 2023 and we are still getting a lot of game releases this year. A lot of users here at WhaToPlay love to post review games. Some of us here love to collect video games either physically or digitally. A few of us are just glancing with envy on whether we can get that game and play it, or not.

BUT.....

all of us are waiting for that video game sale prices to go down. Yes of course we love cheap games! Who doesn't?

But that's not my the topic of my question. I want you answer this truthfully. Of all the games you have owned, played, reviewed, or bought, how many games have you finished it from the beginning of the game to the end credits? I bet most of us did not finish more than 10.

Gamers! Be Honest!

We're finally back!

The past two months have been a tumultuous time for us here in whatoplay. Desperate to plug leaks in our finances, we made the painful decision to shrink our staff to the very bare minimum. This meant having to abandon our tradition of sharing weekly game recommendations.

But we're bringing it back. :)

The rules are simple:

- Recommend a game that you've played recently
- Share your reasons why!

For me, it's Loddlenaut! It's a simple clean-up adventure game on the PC. Cute, vibrant, and fun.
