Moa Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I am in desperate need of a new game to play while listening to podcasts. Specifically, I am looking for a game that I can play for long 2-3 hour sessions, something that does not rely heavily on audio cues, and a game that does not require my full undivided attention. Games like WoW and Rogue Legacy have been great podcast games for me, but now I mostly play fortnite, rainbow 6, and dota, all of which are terrible podcast games.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I listened to many, many podcasts while playing Mad Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Well it’s not recent but Diablo 3 is an amazing podcast game. Hot Shots Golf, any racing game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to all 400 hours of Dan Carlin's account of World War 1 largely while maxing damn near everything out on Rogue Legacy I mostly play Minecraft nowadays listening to podcasts. But a good amount of arcade games are great for it. Lots of "in the zone" gameplay with a minimum of storyline to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFan9 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I’ve been listening to podcasts while playing Dark Souls but I wouldn’t recommend that for a first play through. Open-world games like Just Cause and Far Cry are also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open-world games like Just Cause and Far Cry are also good. Especially for the side missions and collectables. I still remember most of my first listen through of The History of Rome was while doing the bottle searches in Sly 2. Also the side missions of Saint's Row 3 and the orb collecting in Saint's Row 4 were a blast while listening to podcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moa Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 So here is how it's going to go, I'm going to play Diablo, buy Stardew and Slay the Spire and play a combined 48 minutes of each, then resub to WoW like the animal I am. At this point, I will have finished this week's bomb/beastcast, and I will go back to playing Fortnite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Turns out Slay the Spire is engaging enough to forget about the podcasts and just session for 4 hours listening to the same loop of mediocre background music. Also, turns out that the yearly inevitable WoW resub was as inevitable as it always is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
