Support NeoGAF

[BurningNad]

Greetings, GAF!

I've switched jobs a while ago, and the schedule is so drastically different than my last job, that I went from being able to play Destiny for 6+ hours on a work day, to playing about 2 hours of any game in a week, if I'm lucky. I'm just curious as to what sort of games you guys play for those times where you can't commit to a group session, or something that you can get some meaningful progress in a short amount of time.

I'm looking for PC or PS4, but I'm not the only person in the world, so post any game for any system, old or new, and hopefully someone else will gain some info as well! Thanks in advance!

Sports games are really good for this.

 

[watdaeff4]

If you like baseball, get MLB the show and start a RttS character.

Can play a 3 game series in 20-30 minutes as a position player

 

[BigEmil]

Rocket league, Overwatch/Paladins, Fighters, Mobile games

 

[Griss]

If I have only 10 or 15 minutes to play a game, it's usually
-A match of Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 (PS4)
-A couple rounds of DoA5 Last Round (PS4)
-A round of Everybody's Golf (Vita)
-A couple of online matches of Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)

Those are my go-to staples when I don't have time to settle in to a single player session. Great games, all of them.

Sports games are really good for this.

Yep. Sports and racing games are perfect for it.

 

[selo]

Paladins . In 30 minutes I can get in a game or two, great fun.

I'll have to look into Everybody's Golf.

The Vita (and Switch too for that matter) are perfect for these type of scenarios. Esp with the easy as pie suspend/resume feathures.

 

[Shadic7700]

Street Fight V it's so fun just going on casual and winning with Urien

 

[Mass Appeal]

Recently BOTW and Mario Kart Deluxe on my Switch.



The Switch UI maybe barebones but the system boots in and out of sleep mode so fast getting into a game is super convenient.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

MK8 on my switch.

 

[GunBR]

Overwatch and FIFA

As everyone said, sports are perfect for this, but online FPS are great for quick matches too

 

[SunBroDave]

Gwent is great for this. Snake Pass was a great game to play in short bursts too.

 

[Matty77]

Zen Pinball 2. Right now I have been playing a bit of the Plants Vs Zombies and Star Wars Rogue One tables.

 

[Stealth_Cobra]

Warframe tends to be me day to day game. Log in for the daily login reward, do a couple missions if there's cool stuff to do, log off. Then again I played that game so much that I've pretty much done everything.... So it's probably harder for a newcomers to get anything done in 30 minutes bursts.

 

[MCD250]

Me, personally? Street Fighter V. I'll randomly hop on and play a few matches in casual, then hop off.

 

[themaskedndi]

When I only have a tiny window for gaming, I usually play mobile games. Right now, Fire Emblem Heroes and Reigns are the two games I play on my phone.

 

[Benzychenz]

I read GAF.

 

[tenderbrew]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Binding of Isaac if I have 45-60 mins for a run.

 

[valeo]

Dead Cells
Rocket League
Battlegrounds

 

[MTC100]

I've played ARMS, but now I can't anymore.

 

[Jedi2016]

I've been doing this all weekend with the Blizzard games. Diablo, Hearthstone, Overwatch.

 

[kurahador]

Paladins
Overwatch
Gwent

 

[retroman]

Lately I've enjoyed playing a few rounds of good old Street Fighter II for the PS Vita via the PSP version of Capcom Classics Reloaded.

 

[ChuyMasta]

KoF 98 and Minecraft

 

[Luminaire]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Super easy to get a couple races in when killing time / waiting for stuff to finish.

 

[atomsk]

Dead Cells
Monolith

both roguelites, I tend to not live very long

 

[disappeared]

Let It Die. I boot it up to get my daily login bonus, run a few floors for black and red metals, log out.

 

[oni-link]

Mario Maker

Though overall I'm disappointed in the game

 

[petrvs]

At home

Dead Cells
Battletech
Faeria
Gwent

Garou Mark of the Wolves
Valkyrie Profile
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike
Hotline Miami 2

 

[SandwichMeat]

Rocket League and Downwell

 

[The Shadow]

Nuclear Throne if I'm on my PC. I used to play Ultimate NES Remix on the 3DS which was perfect for short sessions, but I 3 starred everything and never play it anymore.

 

[Linkhero1]

Mark of the Wolves on the Switch

 

[SmokedMeat]

Enter the Gungeon
Quake
Devil Daggers

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Magikarp Jump. I hope this game has an ending.

 

[toasty479]

I used to play Persona 4 Golden every morning while drinking my coffee for about 15 to 20 minutes until I beat it recently. Now I drink irish coffee to fill the void it left in my heart

 

[Unspoken90]

Currently Overwatch and Dead or Alive 5. Tekken 7 will soon be on that list once the online for ps4 gets fixed.

 

[The_White_Rose]

Overwatch, Rocket League, and Titanfall 2

 

[Tenshin]

Titanfall 2 atm.

 

[Nia]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, currently to try to get the Gold Kart. It takes less than thirty minutes for me to get pissed and stop playing.

 

[gngf123]

Rocket League

I can see Tekken 7 becoming this for me.

 

[old manatee]

Gwent, but I'm shit at that sort of card game so I might get tired of it.

 

[patientx]

Minecraft on switch, overwatch on PC. Although both tend to become longer sessions most of the time

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Killer Instinct
Shovel Knight
Binding of Isaac
Pixel Dungeon

 

[purseowner]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Arms
Fire Emblem Echoes
Tumbleseed
Flinthook

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Street Fighter V

Mystery Chronicles: One Way Heroics

Dariusburst Chronicle Saviors

The latter two I also have on Vita with cross-save and suspend/resume, so that helps too.

 

[fernoca]

Fighting games in general has been great to me in that aspect:

Played through all this week:
-PS4: Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, Injustice 2, King of Fighters XIV

-Xbox One: Killer Instinct, Virtua Fighter 5 FS, NeoGeo Battle Colosseum

-Wii U: Smash Bros, Tekken Tag 2, Injustice

-Vita: Dengeki Bunko, Street Fighter x Tekken, Mortal Kombat

 

[Celcius]

Overwatch

 

[paragonpro]

Honestly most all games for me now, with my way more limited time, really gets me to make the most out of rpg's

 

[kenta]

Spelunky will forevermore be my short burst game. So easy to just hop in real quick and have some fun, and I know that the longest it will take me is about 45 minutes

 

[Gaiaknight]

I dont play alot of multiplayer games on my ps4 so when im playing that its usually for a couple hours at a time but right now its mario Kart 8 Deluxe i enjoy jsut hoping on and doing a couple online races a day.
