Hi
Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this. Basically I’m looking for recommendations for a game I can play against my 2 brothers. We live in different cities and hardly get to see each other but are we all into games.
We are all in our late 40s and haven’t gamed against each other since way back when I had a few networked PCs in a squat where we played unreal tournament. I am well out of the gaming loop, i just finished bioshock a couple of months back, now I’m playing doom & death loop. I’m crap at both!
We were thinking we’d like to play a shooter just against each other, kinda like unreal tournament, or something we can do cooperatively. We are definitely not ready to go up against the kids online. Maybe doesn’t have to be a shooter if it’s fun to play together. Most of us have kids and none of us has loads of screen time.
One brother is on an Xbox One is on a PC One is on a steam deck with WiFi hotspot.
I’m grateful for any suggestions
It doesn’t have to be against each other, but I think at least to start we wouldn’t want to play with other randoms cos we’re all pretty amateur level.
Yeah we’ve been trying to find something but like you say the platforms seem to be a problem for most things
I am not privy to your financial situation, but can you three pool your resources and find a common platform?
Tbh not really. I’m the only one who’s at all flexible - I can do steam deck or old laptop (3050). But electricity is an issue for me, I’m not on mains electric just solar & batteries, and the steam deck is much less power hungry. Both my brothers have kids and homes to pay for. We’re not broke but can’t really upgrade tech without having to budget. We were hoping to find something that’ll work for us all.
To enjoy yourselves doesn’t require that you all buy the latest gaming rig or even something new or identical. As long as what you decide on has games in common, you’re good.
