Video Games: How do you play?
Everyone has their own preferences with what system they play a video game on. I'm curious to see how you prefer to play? Do you play on all kinds of systems depending on the game? Or, do you only play on one system?
I only play games on the computer or the Nintendo switch. I do not have an Xbox or PlayStation, because I am doubtful I would use them if I did. In my case most of the games I like to play are only available on the PC, Xbox, or PlayStation. But there are also games that are exclusive to the switch that I like to play. I tend to play on the switch when I don't want to be tied down to a larger system or when I am in a vehicle or going to a family get-together.

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I play on my laptop and on mobile. It's more dependent on the game itself. I don't think I would be interested in any other console games. I've heard of some of them, and they don't appeal to me as much. The games I've found that I like are on the computer and Hogwarts Mystery on mobile, but that's the only game I play on my phone.

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
My preference used to be to just use the computer to play games (it's right there, after all!) but I've started to play a few games on my phone, via phone apps, as well. But phone app games seem to be more to give me something to do when bored; games on the computer often are way more fun!

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I play on phone, since I used laptop only to work or watching drama I don't have many games, only 3 that I love the most. Sometimes I also like to play on game sites or on Telegram App, there are bot for games that we can play together with friends.

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
Since owning a switch, I think it has become my primary source for playing video games. However, if I’m out and about without my switch, mobile games are always there to help me out!
Re: Video Games: How do you play?
Ohhh I play mostly on my laptop and my phone but I also play a lot of games on my Switch and my PS4. I also have a PS3 for game but I haven't actually touched that in a long time haha

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I play on a PS4 as I prefer to use a controller and I have friends who I can play with online on PlayStation. (Can't bring myself to pay for a PS5 yet!)

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I mostly play on the Switch as that is what most of the games that we own, and that I enjoy playing, are on. Occasionally I will play on the PS4, but I'm still pretty bad at the controls, haha. I used to play more on mobile, but now there's hardly any space on my phone so I haven't in some time. While it would be nice to play on my laptop more (as Will said, it is right there), I never quite got into it, plus I don't think my laptop is one intended for gaming.

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I am a multi genre, multi platform gamer. At the moment I play games on my PC and laptop, my mobile phone, and my PS4. I do sometime just for fun switch to my PS3 and PS2. I also have a media center set up at my tv (its a laptop reconstructed into a box with a raspberry pie/simulator for platforms such as PS1/Nintendo/ Sega etc. I don't own an Xbox but do have a remote to play on pc with. I like to mix things up. The platform I play on entirely depends on the game. Some games are best played with a mouse and keyboard, while others are more of a remote controller or screen bashing game

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
Hey
I have PS4 but have not used it much since had Covid before it was trendy as fatigue so less time
I'm mostly using Switch at mostly for Animal Crossing My past gaming self would be a bit embarrassed lol. Have other switch games but not played them yet.
Have a old Xbox I sometimes play with. Also have gaming PC and laptop that's not meant for games but can handle some depending on graphics. Also have steam games but have moved over to Xbox on PC.
I still have my PS 1 somewhere but think I got rid of all the games. My PS2 is still out and about but I cannot deal with memory card swap confusion. Also have Wii which never used that much in the first place but want to try out the resident evil games have on it. And sure there is a Mario Kart game with it. The Mario Kart on Switch makes me travel sick

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
My gaming life is rather pathetic. I have a Switch and a PS4. Basically my whole life I have owned a Nintendo and Playstation system of some sort, but I wouldn't really consider myself a gamer. I tend to stick to the classic stuff from my childhood - Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, etc. I have never owned an Xbox system and never got into computer gaming.
Currently I am playing Animal Crossing (an addiction, really) and Pokemon Violet.

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I mainly am a PC player, but I do have a Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and an Oculus I have played on as well, but PC with an Xbox controller is what I usually do.
Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I suppose I am a majority handheld gamer. My games of choice are Pokemon and Animal Crossing, both on handheld consoles, however I do love to get onto my old Sega Genesis and play Sonic 2 from time to time.
The only PC games I've ever played are Zoo Tycoon and Hogwarts Legacy so it's safe to say I'm not a PC gamer at all lol!

Re: Video Games: How do you play?
I primarily play on Consoles. I have a Xbox Series X, and a PS5, from time to time i might pick up my switch and play some Pokémon, and sometimes on my PC if i want to try a game with Mods.
