Hunt: Showdown. 1500hrs in. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Oh and also some THPS2 on my Anbernic RG35XX, love that little handheld.
Remnant 2
I enjoyed the first but didn’t complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it’s fun as hell.
Finally got around to playing Vermintide 2. Holy crap, I LOVE this game. Me and my girlfriend have been playing it, trying out all the classes and weapons. It is amazing how much build diversity there is in Vermintide.
Truly a solid game, the chaos wastes allow for endless fun as well
Killer update, honestly. I love it
just redownloaded fallout 4 with around 250 mods it’s just bonkers to me what modders are doing with that game
I’m 60 hours deep into Balders Gate 3 so I’ve been trying to chill out and not play until full release next week. Ive been having a lot of fun with Dave the Diver in the meantime.
I took a break from BG because I didn’t want to get burned out on the starting area. Really looking forward to the release.
The struggle is so very real.
I play a weekly dnd session. I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I’d check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.
I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.
I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.
Do you mean the original Baldurs Gate or Baldurs Gate 3, the upcoming one?
I’m sure it’s the upcoming, it’s been in EA for almost a year so plenty of people like myself have been playing it for some time
Couldn’t be too sure, older games tend to be a bit more brutal and I think the original uses a bit of less forgiving ruleset.
And I’ve played the Early Access as well, just last week. The combat didn’t seem to hard, though I may have just been better planned and more aware of how much more combat-focused CRPGs tend to be over TTRPG.
I think the biggest difference is that my brother is our DM and he’ll pull his punches if he can tell we’re getting really bad luck or frustrated.
Baldurs Gate doesn’t do that, and really shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be challenging. Ngl, having to control your entire party in combat is kinda difficult for me. I guess I’m too used to only having control of just my PC that it’s intimidating playing the other classes, especially the ones I don’t have much experience with. I also don’t have other player’s turns to plan my next turn.
Growing pains, I’m looking forward to the full release.
The up coming one
Yea some of the encounters are quite difficult in the early stages. Once you get a full party and some levels/items it gets smoother
Just got out of almost 3 years of nonstop genshin. I’m currently looking for a game to mindlessly 100%, like an assassin’s creed game for example.
It the meantime I’m trying to beat all spirits spiritless in Smash bros. Will start Xenoblade 2 in september, already got XC3 ready
You might enjoy the new Zelda game
Oh, I will. I’d like to complete Xenoblade first to avoid forgetting the story and the various connections and mindfucks
I plucked up my courage and I started Resident Evil 2 Remake. I finished Leon part. Doubting if play Claire part or not. Also I finished Inscryption. I’m now trying to finish the Warzone 2 battle pass since It ends in a few days.
Definitely do play Claire’s part! It’s not as long, and there are some repetitive parts, but it does add more to the story and introduce some new characters (if you’re not already familiar with the original or the franchise in general).
X4: Foundations. Just started a new playthrough with the Kingdom End DLC.
Its the closest to Eve online, except being offline, singleplayer, pausable and moddable. It supports many playstyles and can also be played semi afk, which i like. At times it can be incredibly frustrating because the UI is complex and the AI of your fleet members can be very stupid.
Still i enjoy just doing my thing, playing for a bit, save and continue later. Not a lot of games support this. Others that do for me are Factorio/DSP and Drox Operative 2
Borderlands 3 on PS plus. Which leaves in a couple of week, so I doubt I’ll have the time to complete it before it does!
I’m considering modding my Stardew Valley game yet again. Haven’t maxed out all the things, tedium is creeping in.
Dave The Diver.
I was on E2M6 before work got extremely hectic and I put it on pause for a while. Now that I’m finally getting back to it, I love it so much. It combines two things I love: boomer shooters and Warhammer. To extend my playthrough, I’m playing it how I play classic Doom: Boltgun start only, no saves (death means I start the whole level over), and Exterminatus difficulty. It’s gotten challenging but I love the mastery that comes from playing a map from the beginning again.
Any boomer shooter fan is doing themselves a disservice if they don’t check it out.
Playing Days Gone love the story and gameplay
I am currently playing Everspace 2, i like the space combat very much, although at least in the beginning the crafting system feels quite slow.
I just started with Cassette Beasts, as it was finally on sale on Switch and I cannot get myself to play a Pokemon game on anything but a portable console. Just feels wrong.
It is… the strictly better Pokemon game, as people told me it’d be. I keep looking for issues compared to the classic games, but no, they did it all slightly~notably better. And wow is the soundtrack fantastic. And wow is the theming incredibly well done, with the walkman as the battle menu as the cherry on top.
Highly recommended. I cannot say much about the story so far, but what I’ve seen is indeed interesting.
Have you tried any of the other Pokémon clones? I’d be interested to hear how you think it stacks up to some of the others. I tried a few, and none really captured what I wanted. I thought Cassette Beasts looked pretty cool style-wise so it was somewhat on my radar.
