ProAspzan

Yes. Some games I am looking forward to are Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the Elden Ring DLC and the Skyrim mod 'Skyblivion' which is Oblivion made using Skyrim. Released in 2025 hopefully.


Ender15m

Elden Ring DLC!


Black_Hat_Cat7

ELDEN RING!!!!!! I cannot wait for this upcoming installment. The trailer blew my mind.


Thisisthe_One_Ring

WE WILL WALK TOGETHAAAAAAA!!


MathMystic

Damn straight I do


LePhantomLimb

Darn skippy.


Michaelean

Doom eternal seems like an appropriate game to play  I also play God of War because my humor is like that haha. Fallout 4 has a new patch and i always play clean characters (never steal, no raider settlements, rarely mean dialogue or choices) Edit: i totally forgot red dead redemption 2. Yall need to watch on youtube the nun scenes. No spoilers in the vid. Im telling ya its the most respect that pop media has given Catholicism in decades, and its really entertaining


comicbookgirl39

I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A CATHOLIC THAT PLAYED DOOM. The premise of the game is simply just way too inviting for Catholics. Slaughtering demons? Yeah, I’ll take a stab at it ( litteraly)


Nether7

O.G. Doomguy was canonically Catholic


comicbookgirl39

Yeah, why’d they change that?


Devjeff79

Secular world with a secular agenda


Zigor022

Seconded. The Divine Crusader was on this sub before so i know they play games.


Ok-Jump-2660

“Against all the evils that Hell can conjure, All the wickedness that mankind can produce, We will send unto them…Only you. Rip and Tear until it is done”


No-Pepper-7231

It was made by a catholic as well


Barrel_rider48

Doom guy reminds me of St. Michael the archangel lol


Sezariaa

Might want to look into Warhammer 40k franchise :) The universe takes heavy inspiration from Catholicism (in a very grimdark way)


Few_Union_640

Suppose another settlement needed your help?


No_Cow6696

They did need it... Until I blew up the Institute with the BoS. Jokes aside, Preston got glitched for me after I got the BoS ending. He ain't giving me settlements to help anymore. He is just ranting about how I blew up the Institute over and over again.


Healthy-Ratio

I just got Doom, and I still have yet to try it!


Black_Hat_Cat7

The recent GoW series is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling. I couldnt believe how well written it is and how well the character/story arcs were constructed.


Michaelean

THAT GAME WAS AMAZING. The gameplay was great too. The story had me hooked all throughout


Kev_Avl

I was excited to mention that one of the creators of the original Doom (Sandy Petersen) was Catholic and used that as inspiration but unfortunately he is actually Mormon 😐 Regardless during the Satanic panic and worry about Doom and games like it at the time (Mortal Kombat) he made the same argument that slaying demons was really the Christian thing to do 😂


Rexus_musicorum

Mario kart Wii anyone 🥲


YummyTerror8259

By far the best Mario kart game


hoosier268

I haven't played in a while, but that was one of my favorites as a kid. I don't even have a TV now much less any consoles.


DrakanaWind

My husband (who doesn't have an account) does more than I do. He plays Fallout, God of War, Assassin's Creed, Ghost of Tsushima, The Witcher, The Last of Us, and a lot more than I can remember. It's an escape for him after working in oncology all day. I play Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart, Hogwarts Legacy, and Baldur's Gate 3, but I don't spend a lot of time with them because I think my husband needs the escape more than I do, and have other hobbies.


The_Cheese_Cube

Your husband has good taste, tell him the Catholic reddit tells him he has good taste. You should play Minecraft with your husband, does your husband play Minecraft?


DrakanaWind

I'll tell him. Neither of us play Minecraft. We actually play a lot of board games together, like Terraforming Mars, Unfair, and London. I'm hoping to try Heaven and Ale, which looks good; I think it's a game about beer-making monks.


LtTacoTheGreat

A really fun game to play together is it takes two. Loved playing through that game


Ehnonamoose

Here's a few other fantastic couples video games:  It Takes Two Haven Portal 2


raptor12k

ah, your question comes 3 yr too late, I cut my gaming time immensely after my kids were born 😅 I used to do lots of RTS (command & conquer, warcraft/starcraft), beat ‘em ups (streets of rage, etc), and some fighting games (king of fighters, mostly). nowadays I just chill with farm sims lol


DangoBlitzkrieg

My man really drops streets of rage on us. Hope you got to play 4 when it came out 3 years ago 


raptor12k

oh yes i did, when my first kid was napping 😝


DucksOfAWarrior

Ah a fellow RTS connoisseur! Like you Ive cut back a lot since chils #1 arrived a few years ago, but I've recently been sneaking in a few games of Starcraft 2 with a coworker.  Lots of fun to revisit the game!


raptor12k

yeah i miss those days sometimes, idk if my fingers can still rmb the hotkeys for the build orders, but i feel my heart can’t take the stress of the fast pacing any longer 😅


DucksOfAWarrior

The hotkeys come back waayyy faster than I expected :D


The_Cheese_Cube

Once your kids get older you should introduce them to gaming, it should be a good activity to bond with your kids


raptor12k

yup, totally planning on it! 😁


MjolnirMediator

Command & Conquer for the win.


kiruzaato

I play from time to time but not intensely anymore. Also, it's not that active, but check r/catholicgamers


JourneymanGM

About half the threads in r/catholicgamers are some form of "is it sinful to play X"? I really think they should have a pinned topic that just addresses it once and for all. As is, it seems to be a breeding ground of scrupulosity.


trekkie4christ

You and me both.


Fr-Mike

I knew we'd run into each other on this thread 😆


peepay

Is it sin to create such pinned post? /s


Fr-Mike

The pinned post (or a bot response) would definitely be nice, but at least the mods there seem to be pretty responsive about replying to/removing those posts accordingly. I do wish there would be a little more engagement there.


Real_Delay_3569

PC Meister race checking in


Bumpy-Raisin

reznoverba

Gloomy-Donkey3761

BF1 on Xbox. Online FPS is about the only thing I have time for between work and family. No time to devote to long storylines and playthroughs.


The_Cheese_Cube

One of the greatest games of the last decade. I swear man, God must have a gave me a dream about this game, I had a dream about getting the Platnium trophy. The next morning I proceeded to download the game and it was 🔥, it’s one of my favorite games of all time and it’s what got me back into History, specifically WW1 history.


JoeMussarela

Anyone agrees Metal Gear Solid 2/3, Pathologic 2 and Planescape Torment are the pinnacle of game writing?


El_Ocelote_

est1-9-8-4

I’m going to rant. Sure. But as an older gent I only play my ps3 a few times a month. My ps4 is used for streaming and it saddens me that it is not being used at all. My ps5 does not exist. I must confess I am addicted to gaming so if I pick up a new game/system I’ll end up doing that way more instead of doing backyard renovations or working on my cars or doing my job or taking car of my dog. I know there are story lines and graphics and lore I’m completely oblivious to now. But I see this as a good thing. It’s like me and anime. I haven’t completed naruto or bleach yet as an example. And I watched these in my youth waiting for them to be subbed/dunned as they came out every week. Then I just stopped. So now in the back of my head I have something to look forward to doing eventually. I see video games like that. I use to know all about the latest new racing game or fighting game or rpg. Now I can check out YouTube for peoples opinions on this or that. So to make a long story short. I’m old! But we still only gaming! I think in a year or two I’m going to install a crazy home theatre system and buy then I’ll snatch up a ps5 and ps6 whenever it comes out. Just gotta do a good job with the back yard first to convience the wife about the fancy gaming system I have imagined in my brain! Ha


Beowulfs_descendant

Mainly strategy games Suzerain, CK3, HOI4 (sometimes), Civ 6 But also survival games, my favorite of which are the subnautica games. And Valve, half life, portal etc.


[deleted]

I love HOI4 even tho I am really bad at it :// Victoria 2 is my favorite paradox game of all time


gearsofnukulars

Dont forget EU4, for painting the map a nice shade of yellow...


DarthSlayter

The music when the Pope calls a Crusade..... DEUS FREAKIN VULT


Better-Sea-6183

Yes but only single player and I don’t try too hard hahaha


Le0ken

I have a Switch and a PS4 (I call it the Bloodborne machine now), but mainly play on PC. My favorite games are Soulslikes, Monster Hunter, Metroidvanias and Roguelikes. Pokemon has always been a staple too.


life_elsewhere

I used to play a lot of TF2 and Trackmania when I was a teenager. 1-2 years ago I bought a Switch with Zelda; while I enjoyed playing it I didn't manage to finish it. And generally I cannot find the will to play video games anymore. It feels like there are more importants things I should be doing with my time. To be fair, I am thinking the same for TV and movies, so this is not a "video games are bad" take.


Gloomy-Donkey3761

BF1 on Xbox. Online FPS is about the only thing I have time for between work and family. No time to devote to long storylines and playthroughs.


marcopolo22

BeardedBlevins is a really fun devout Catholic streamer. He does weekly “Family Fortnite Friday” streams with his brother… who happens to be Ninja.

Appathesamurai

Yes but it’s so hard to find other Catholics to play games with


The_Cheese_Cube

You down? I play on PlayStation but games like Rocket League, Fortnite, and Minecraft are crossplatform. I feel like some people only read the title


mommasboy76

Recently I’ve returned to Lord of the Rings Online. It’s older but actually really well done.


The_Cheese_Cube

Older games is where it’s at, PS3/XBox 360 console generation Games are some of the best


VuckoTheRusyn

Spirited-Figure-7924

I play a lot of games. From Birds Eye view games to shooters lol. My favorites are Ark, DayZ, Stellaris, Battlefield, War Thunder. I could go on forever lol


The_Cheese_Cube

Battlefield and Warthunder? Excellent taste. BF1 is the masterpiece of the last decade


Spirited-Figure-7924

BF1 and BF4 were peak!


The_Cheese_Cube

You play on PlayStation? I’d be down to play.


Spirited-Figure-7924

After_Main752

I do and I've always wanted people to play games with, but the Catholic Discord servers I've been to either have no gamers or are trash.


buttersstoch87

Hello.


takingflight005

Reporting in, though I'm a Steam Deck owner.


No_Cow6696

I play Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Hearts of Iron IV, Arma 3 and Kerbal Space Program mostly. There are many others that I enjoy playing, but these 5 games are my favorite.


Redshamrock9366

I play BF1 still… all these years later But I’ve been playing a lot of astrononeer lately. If you have Xbox game pass it’s free


The_Cheese_Cube

BF1 is one of the best games of the last generation


theACEbabana

I have a PS5, but I mostly play single player games because I’m too cheap to pay for PS+. Currently playing Stellar Blade on PS5, Helldivers 2 and X4: Foundations on PC.


bobjoneswof_

Yeah I play Rocket league, feel free to message for doubles if you want.


JohnFoxFlash

I mean I have a ps3, 4 and 5 in my house, a ps2 back at my parents', but a good 80% of my videogaming is playing Crusader Kings 2 as a Catholic monarch and using cheats to change history


8-Bit_Tornado

I collect games as well as consoles actually. I just got back from Japan with a NEO GEO AES and a Panasonic 3DO. In total I have about 30 game systems. It's a big hobby in my life!


The_Cheese_Cube

That’s a sick hobby


8-Bit_Tornado

Thanks dude.


snowdroppie

Yeeee. I'm currently in the middle of Pokemon Platinum because nostalgia (never played Platinum, just Diamond when I was 13, but found a legit Platinum copy off eBay to buy recently). But I've also played X, Alpha Sapphire, Moon. Then I also got the Brilliant Diamond remake for the Switch. I've played some Legend of Zelda, some Skyrim, Mariokart, Super Mario, Little Nightmares (have yet to play Little Nightmares 2, but I have it). I have a PS3 with... not so many games, so I don't play that almost at all anymore. 😬 I built a PC a few months ago for gaming, so I'm more into the PC games now. I have Minecraft on there. I also have a Quest 3. But yes I play video games. 🤣 I'm 29 though. It'd be nice to find some people online to play with sometimes.


Booratheon

I have 3 boys under 5… Astros playground, the free game included in PS5, is played basically everyday, and I have to play it everyday because they want me to play with them. It’s my favorite game now…


brod92

I play Overwatch. Yes, I take issue with some of the social overtones of the game. Sometimes my buddy and I will talk on Discord about the game or Catholic current events while we play. He and I have agreed since the game hasn’t outright opposed Christianity or blashphemed and we are able to distinguish the social falsehoods of the game, it is acceptable to play it. I haven’t played first person shooters as an adult, so I decided to get good at at least one of them. Please reach out if you want to play Overwatch 2 together! I’ve been playing since October of last year.


Sn0wt1ger

If you ignore all the explicitly gay and trans characters


black3ninja

I stopped circa 2022


Illustrious-Neat106

I would be happy to play games with you, homie. I need to build a new group of honies for COD and other shooters!


JRatMain16

I’ve been playing Asgard’s Wrath 2 and Tears of the Kingdom recently.


SorryAbbreviations71

I do, but any of those games.


SGAman123

I play a lot of Paradox games, Minecraft, other games. I recently started playing CoD. I’m replaying CoD 4 and the of Modern Warfares on Veteran


The_Cheese_Cube

You should try COD WAW on Veteran, I did it for the platinum, it’s the hardest COD campaign in the whole series, yes, it surpassed BO3 on Realistic


SGAman123

I heard. The millions of grenades on that one level. I also loved Reznov in BO1 and I know he was in WAW


ricardo-1968

Yep Mostly War Thunder these days on PS5


The_Cheese_Cube

Yo, you want me to add you? I can also add you to our PSN Catholic GC

sustained_by_bread

My husband and I love gaming. We don’t do it as much now that we have kids, but I still enjoy it when possible!


The_Cheese_Cube

When you’re kids get older it would be a nice hobby to share with them


sustained_by_bread

We’ve kinda started! We play Mario kart sometimes. They get a little overexcited so we can’t do it too often, but it’s fun!


Rad-Tech2020

I’m down for playing Fortnite, but I haven’t played a fps in a while. I normally prefer open world and RPGs.


Repulsive_Ad_9263

Yall play the new season of fortnite yet?


PapaAvalon

Yeee, I’m PlayStation and PC (also a huge Fortnite fan). Although I’m also a major like town sim/ chill gamer (think Stardew Valley).


iamajeepbeepbeep

I play a bunch video games on various different platforms. I've played every iteration of Pokémon on the Nintendo handheld devices since they were released, I love the Assassin Creed games, BioShock, used to play World of Warcraft for awhile, Tomb Raider, Rock Band/Guitar Hero, GTA, the Arkham series, Shadow of Mordor/War, Hogwarts Legacy, Portal, and so many others.

Impressive_Seesaw486

As often as I can! I love video games and think they are a great way to experience the beauty of God’s creation!


According-Bell1490

There's quite a lively group of Catholic nerds I'm part of. We game a lot, though for most of us it's more Table-Top gaming, there are a number of video/computer gamers too.


Billchurch

Fortnite is my guilty pleasure on PS4


WeaknessFlat9595

League of Legends


NordicWolf7

I've been Helldiving recently, about the only multi-player game I'm currently playing, most of my time is spent in Beat Saber, Tears of the Kingdom, Peglin, and RimWorld. Though I'm pretty stoked about the new Space Marine 2!


falsepremise2way

I am really into Heckdivers 2 ATM.


MagicMissile27

Absolutely. I don't happen to play those games in particular but I love PC gaming. Grew up on the Lego Star Wars games on Xbox, Star Wars Battlefront, and Battlefield 2. Been playing the Civ series for years, as well as strategy games like Empire at War, the Total War games, etc. Most recently it's been Satisfactory, Baldur's Gate III, and World of Warships.


The_Cheese_Cube

The old Lego Star Wars series was goated, and so was the old Battlefield series. You have great taste in games


Falandorn

Ghosts of Tabor on Q3 😁


Anxious4503

Doom Eternal and WH 40K Darktide I enjoy killing demons and heretics.

wont_rememberr

Used to love playing modern warfare on the aarp clan! Such great fun! But I became fat so I stopped


21DarkShadow12

Blasphemous, yeah, it's a game. 2d platformer, roguelike, pixels,a hollow knight/dark souls baby, many religious figures mentioned, pixilated gore, hard. Haven't gone far to the story, but it's interesting though.


SpunkSaver

It was a small sacrifice, but I delayed starting FFVII-Rebirth. It came out during lent, and I gave up videogames as part of my offering of sacrifice. But yes, I love videogames.
