Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
Phantasy Star (the first one)
Final Fantasy XIV
Both the first game of 2024 and the last one was Medieval II: Total War.
Conquered the world with France at the start of the year, now doing the same with the Danes.
A classic :D
I haven’t played M2TW in a while. Maybe I should pick it up again for another campaign. Hmm…
It’s been almost twenty years and I still can’t find a game that gives me the same chills. I was hoping that they’d release a Medieval Remastered the same way they did for Rome Remastered, but it didn’t happen.
I hear that the 1212 mod for Attila Total War provides a more “up to date” experience for today’s standards (graphics, historical accuracy, AI, diplomacy). But I can’t fathom playing Medieval without Duke of Death.
I remember getting Medieval 1 as a Christmas present and playing all day! I didn’t actually get Medieval 2 until many years later – I was playing Rome for a long time.
I have to confess, I’m not a fan of the “Game: Remastered” trend. I love games this old partly because of the nostalgia. Re-releasing them this way erases that part of it for me – plus, I just can’t shake the “WTF, I need to re-buy a game this old?! Forget it!” feeling.
Duke of Death is iconic. I’m kind of surprised they didn’t keep it in the track list for later games.
Path of Exile 2 👍
Sea of Stars, Marvel Rivals, and Superhot VR were the three games my spouse and I played that day.
Farming Sim 22
Infinity Nikki! It’s probably my new favourite dress up game (dethroning FFXIV)
It was going to be Hogwarts legacy, but I had a flight and played xenogears on my phone
Deadlock
Gothic (2001). Still a really cool game!
Warframe. First game I’ll play in 2025 too.
Played and finished: Lisa The Joyful
Played: PoPoLoCroisIt was either noita or war thunder, was playing both last night and I forget which I was playing before midnight
I’m about halfway through Lego Lord of the Rings right now.
They really nailed the Lego game formula on that one. Truly a love letter to Peter Jackson’s films and with all the silly Lego game humor. I finally 100%'d it last year, then went right onto Lego The Hobbit (almost as good!).
I played through all of Thimbleweed Park yesterday, fantastic time. Point and click adventure game with no real moon logic. Also, the art is fucking gorgeous
