Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Staring at the clock waiting for Baldur’s Gate to release lol
For a real answer, some Arma III with the boys, some Sea of Thieves with the boys, some Across the Obelisk with the boys…
I only really play co-op anymore it would seem lol.
Still chipping away at Tears of the Kingdom. With a newborn in the house it’s such a great game to pick up for 3 minutes, wander a bit, and put down instantly. Or to play for 2 straight hours while he sleeps on your chest.
Im pretty close to the end but I’m finding myself putting it off as much as possible, leisurely wandering around the map to take on quests or shrines. There is so much to do and see. 120 hours in and it still feels like I’ve barely started it.
Metro Redux was free on Steam so I started that and am not disappointed
Haven’t played the latest but the first two were just amazing. The atmosphere and worldbuilding… I loved wandering in metro stations turned towns, hearing the chatter and activities around me. I think that was most prominent in the second game iirc
Doing a melee only playthrough of Fallout 4 at the moment. First time doing a non shooting playthrough.
Finished Yugioh the sacred cards just now, and got annoyed they never let you use Winged Dragon of Ra.
I’ve been playing Tin Can lately. Figuring out how to survive each event and deciding what parts to cannibalize is really enjoyable to me. I’m almost up to 25 minutes surviving!
Dragons Dogma Dark Arise on my new Linux laptop 😊
Dysmantle, great little indie game I played on PC back in EA but now enjoying the final product on PS5 as it was included in PS Extra
You smash the environment and zombies to level up and find parts to build new weapons and tools. The game is a bit wonky but the satisfaction of getting that new weapon to be able to break down larger objects is addicting. Will set you back 20+ hours at least.
After beating Final Fantasy XVI I resubscribed to FFXIV and played the latest patch’s story updates. It’s interesting to go back to XIV after playing what feels in many ways like it’s successor. XVI has problems, but they’re the a subset problems that XIV has, and it shores up so much. My main thing is the almost complete lack of engaging combat scenarios in XIV’s MSQ. There’s so much fun in the endgame that it’s hard to complain too much, but I hope they fix that in Dawntrail.
Oxygen not included, it’s a fantastically detailed colony sim if you like physics and colony sims, you are in for a treat, it’s like if rimworld, minecrafts redstone system and the powder toy had a baby in the best way possible
For the second time I started to cross the soma, but I had to go somewhere so when I come back I will finish it.
I finished both Diablo 1 (devilutionx) as well as Diablo 2 (remastered). Both are still great games
I had really enjoyed the ea of BG3 so I’m pumped to play the full game! After two hours I’m pleased to say I made my character. Lol.
Oh, boy. I have quite a list for this week.
Gothic 3 - Gothic is my favorite series and last year I started playing the games again. Now I’m at the third, and it has definitely improved a lot since I last played it (13 years ago). It’s a shame that it’s unfinished, but definitely playable and a good gaming experience.
Baldur’s Gate 3 - I never played any D&D game, not Planescape Torment, no Icewind Dale, no Neverwinter Nights, no Divinity or any other game that is close to this one. But I bought it, not knowing if I would like it, because of the salty tweets from developers working for big publishers. I only played for 3 hours and as someone who is unfamiliar with most things related to this game, I think it’s nice. I feel that I can’t fully appreciate it to its real value right now, but I’m sure that given the time I will.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - I got deranked to Silver 2 again and I think I’m going to take a break from competitive, at least. I find it really hard to keep up, it just feels that everyone’s aim is better than mine and I don’t have the time and resources right now to learn this game. I still enjoy Arms Race, though.
Deep Rock Galactic - I’m playing for more than 200 hours now. I only play as Engineer and I’m close to getting that Gold promotion. Gets a bit boring when I’m playing too much, but otherwise it’s great for co-op play, and fun.
Deep Rock Galactic when I want to play for a few minutes then go back to work.
Final Fantasy when I’m done with work.
And Kingdom Hearts 1 on my mobile when I’m bored but too tired to get on my PC.
