Question as per title. I was wondering because every now and then some games consoles come up on SC. So, are there any gamers here, or more precisely, are there any gamers here who are prepared to admit it on a highly judgmental forum?

Yep I have a Switch and a PS4. The Switch is taking up most of my play time recently.
I really fancy a switch, what are you playing?Originally Posted by jimmbob
I don't play much these days but still massively into retro games.
Currently I'm playing Zelda. Which is just superb. I also have Mario Kart and regularly go on line to get beaten horribly by the Japanese.
Having kids means I basically can't get a look in with regards to the TV until they're in bed. The Switch is great because I can just take it out of the dock, nip upstairs and have a hour or so running around Hyrule.
The kids love Mario Kart, and when we play together I of course turn the auto steer on to make it a bit easier for them. Yep, I definitely do that, honest...
I used to play a lot, but don't have the time to do it regularly anymore. I can't stand consoles though, PC gaming all the way for me
PS4 and a retro arcade table with 1000 odd games from 70's through to 90's
I find myself gaming pretty much exclusively on the PC now (especially since the last couple of rigs I have built have been a lot more powerful than any console) so the consoles are living a quieter life (I'll make an exception for Uncharted though).
Are any of you shooter or RPG fans, as a matter of interest? (Yes, Zelda was noted already!)
I'm really tempted and like the option to take it away from TV.
I'd also like to get into VR via PS4, tried it at a friends and it is very good, vast improvement on my long since traded Nintendo Virtual Boy 😊
Back in the day I was well into my Jap gaming, had all sorts inc PC Engine as well as the Nintendo Virtual Boy. I had a Jap import PSP months before they were released here. Just preordered the mini SNES which I'm far too excited about for someone in their late 30's!!
Yeah it's great it works extremely well, very fluid. The screen is fantastic too. I grabbed a pro controller with it, which I use when in TV mode, it's quite pricey at £60. But it is very good and has a seemingly magical battery life. I'd recommend one.
Ps4 for me. Spending far too much time on it for my age! Haha. Playing the Destiny 2 beta for the past few days

Empires and Allies.Time consuming,Expensive but very very addictive.
Xbox One still playing Battlefield 4 (not so keen on Battlefield 1)
ps4 and vita for me, fave game of all time tempest 2000 on Atari Jaguar
Yes but purpose built gaming PC here. All us proper gamers look down on console users. ;)
I've got a PS4 and try to get on COD when I can.
I have a PS4 which I play occasionally mainly use it for Netflix to be honest but COD, Sniper 4 or Battlefield 1 are my games of choice.
My lad on the other had loves his gaming on either the PS4 or PS Vita, he also has a switch and a gaming PC and a gaming laptop the only games I can beat him at these days are football and racing games both of which he won't play against me, so I have to settle for inhalation each time we play against each other.
I just bought an Xbox One which is driving me batty on my crappy rural broadband. Seems like every game I buy needs a 10 Gb patch downloaded before it gets out of bed. Grrr...

Been playing Just Cause 3 on XBox a bit recently. Haven't really played games for years but bought this for my son and got drawn into it. Great game when I have an hour to kill, which is very infrequently!
For me retro hands down 8bit and 16bit
Side scrolling beat em ups - streets of rage, final fight , turtles Coin op .
The new stuff is beyond me although Nintendo wii u , wii are still appreciated. My son wants a switch

I have a fairly disgustingly high gamerscore on Xbox, have played most days since the 360 came out, and a bit Nintendo fan prior.
Mostly shooters and RPGs / sandbox games, currently playing Shadow of Mordor and Elder Scrolls online mostly.
I work for a company that sells orthodontic treatment planning software, we have a part time girl in our Dallas office who is a PlayStation team player, gets flown all around the world to compete on a professional level. Managed to get her to play COD against my son once, she killed him, over and over again!
The best joystick/controller was the one for the SNK Neo Geo.

This, in my memory, is the greatest joystick ever:
*SIGH* I still miss the original Combat Flight Simulator.
I used to game a lot. I managed to rack up 3,000 hours on Oblivion; I literally searched every nook and cranny. Then I met my wife and had kids, got made redundant, started a business, relocated. Just no time now.
There's a PS4 on the hi-fi rack, but it's mostly host to Drive Club for my five year old. I use it to connect to Netflix when my TV doesn't want to play ball. I do have Skyrim, Far Cry 4 and one of the Fall Out series on there, game quality is superb.
Just need some time now. 🙂
I used to play quite a bit on megadrives, ps1 upwards (ps3 at the moment) I liked playing sniper type games (kept getting my arse handed to me on the likes of COD etc online) and a few race sims but I've not played for a long time as nothing really interested me much. I'm thinking about getting a ps4 though as the new sniper elite 4 looks good (as does the older elite 3). I'm wondering if these far cry games can be done as a sniper as well (apologies as I'm not up on current games), also are there any good realistic driving sims on the ps4?
The Sidewinder2 was better I thought. (Mine ended up in a skip) 😐This, in my memory, is the greatest joystick ever:

Yeah you can do most of the wet work in Far Cry using primarily snipey techniques with the exception of the set pieces.
xbox one hooked on cod. ghosts online at the moment ,used to play forza 2 a hell of a lot

Does clash of clans count?
Games have come a long way since then. I think Battlefield 4 would be right up your street.
The Last of Us is a fantastic game, very emotional as well.
I think it counts. What about Might and Magic?
Spending £1.99 on a Mastertronic game from the local petrol station. Some good , most were rubbish but often had great Rob Hubbard music.
Now its £30 and up for a game but given the work
that goes into them its kinda understandable ... as long as they're good.
I appear to buy a new gen Playstation each time just to play GTA's however the last one didn't hit the spot (maybe becoming too repetitive)
Got a Switch for the kids and bought Zelda but not got into it yet.
My C64 and Amiga days were the highlight for me when I was a kid, Last Ninja, Turrican's, Monkey Islands (11 floppy disks for MI2 and Indy if I remember right)
N64 was also a good one for hammering Goldeneye and Zelda.
I don't think I have the patience anymore if I honest though will grab red dead redemption 2 later in year

Goldeneye, what a game! :)
Just sold my PS4, wheel and pedals and started preparing for October release of GT Sport. Enough time to buy PS4 Pro and 4K HDR monitor for my rig.
Still have my faithful PS3 as well. But use it more as a media centre these days.
I have a PS4 and I have to admit for months on end it's just a Blu-ray player, but I have got back into gaming recently.

I'm a one game man. Dota2. Free to play via steam and the world championships start tomorrow.
Yes - world championships.
And the prize pool? £22,500,000 for one tournament
There's even a movie / documentary of the first world championships 7 years ago and prize pool was only £1,000,000.
Bonkers
Here's link to the documentary- it's actually amazing and the hype is sensational.

I used to play a fair amount of racing games on Playstation (2 & 3) before we had kids. Nowadays I play mainly Mario, Minecraft and Little Big Planet with my son all of which are surprisingly enjoyable. However, once a new series of Strictly Come Dancing starts I always buy myself a new game or dig out an old classic to play for a few months on a Saturday night.

Minecraft is easily one of the best games ever. Best if you can run your own server and get a few mates in to do mad things. It pulls me back every few months.
What are you all playing right now? I'm still playing The Division as much as possible before patch 1.7 hits and I have to learn the game all over again from scratch (and get all new gear, also).
Had a spectrum, then a megadrive. After that the PS1, first Xbox then Xbox 360. It was then I decided to move to PC. Although I new nothing about them I built a rig with an i5 3570k and a 290x MSI lightning gpu. Still have this and doing me proud.
Don't get much gaming time these days but when I do I seem to be on world of warships.
Day one of the main stage and China dominating. Signs of life from the CIS, EU and NA teams though - grand final on the 12thWant to update us on the progress of the championships?

Sadly, I'm not on PSN. I'm strictly PC these days.
(If anyone want to add me on PC, I'm "marksmad" - short for Mark is mad, obviously! - on Uplay and Steam, "marksmad_N7" on Origin.)
I don't play Dota2 myself, but my gaming partner informs me that I shout loudest when playing Last Stand. Apparently my most used exclamation is "Seriously!!????"
