You hide cards at night in the forest for fun? Seems like a solitary type of game to play.
Hehe you're right kinda.
I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can't sleep I'll do Solitaire or crosswords.
If I'm really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison. One day I plan to get an old TV and turn it into a Zen Pinball machine, as others have done on YouTube.
Repostin'. Trying out Arcanum for myself for the first time.
Love seeing FNV there. I recently got around to beating it a few months ago and it was amazing
Stalker 2, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress and Project Zomboid.
Good taste my friend
Switch:
- Witcher 3 (don't judge)
- Eiyuden Chronicles
PS4:
- Code Vein
- Disco Elysium
PC:
- Torchlight 2
- YGO Master Duel
Phone:
- Pokemon TCG Pocket
Witcher 3 can't be worse than Xcom2 on the switch. No judgement here.
Currently playing Half Life 2. Got it for free and i love it.
I play games too much, so I'll categorise them:
New ones I've finished and absolutely loved: Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Star Wars: Outlaws
Not new ones that I'm currently playing and really like so far: Days Gone and Mad Max
Not new ones that I'm currently playing that I'm unsure if I like, be it because of the game itself or technical issues: Enshrouded, Horizon Forbidden West, and Satisfactory
Ones I've played for some time and won't stop playing anytime soon (and obviously love): Warframe and Minecraft
What'd you like about veilguard? Were you a big fan of the series before? I want to buy it but the changes from the first one put a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
Not OP, but it's a very good game that gets better the longer you play it. It more like Mass Effect than Dragon Age in many ways though, but the final stretch especially was almost on the same level as the suicide mission of ME2 IMO. Characters and gameplay are great, dialogue and level design could have been better and the only element that really sucked for me are the godawful outfits and weapons and lack of variation thereof.
Mad Max is fun. But it never holds my interest for long.
-
Elden Ring. Only the base game, and this is my first run. I have been very thorough with it, though. I'm currently trying to beat Malenia, then it's off to do the last boss
-
Victoria 2. Weekly multiplayer session with a couple of friends. It's 1915, and my people have just elected an anti-military party that is really hampering my efforts to swing a big imperialist stick around
-
Lorn's Lure. PS2 graphics, generous 3D platforming mechanics, and an impossibly vast and desolate megastructure to explore. Well I'm playing the demo of it, anyway. I am going to get the full version, it made a good impression.
My friend that really doesn't play many games loved Elden Ring. And ive listened to a lot of lore videos from Dark Souls to Elden Ring. But my PC probably can't handle the game. I can't wait to eventually be horrible at it though.
It's great fun! So long as you're on board with the experience it is trying to create, of course. FromSoft are good at what they do and don't much care for whether or not what they do is everyone's cup of tea
I'd love to try Bloodborne, because that gameplay combined with a bit of cosmic horror sounds amazing to me. I'll have to either wait for a PC port or learn about emulation, though
The thing that stuck out to me more than I expected about it is how painterly it often feels. It's exceptionally good at framing its environments in a spectacular or pleasing way even while the player has full control of the camera. I'm not usually one to worry about visuals too much, but this game's environments really stuck out to me. And while it is very high-fidelity and nicely rendered, it's less about the actual graphical performance than it is about the design of the environments
I don't like souls like games. I LOVED Elden Ring. It was the exact balance of controller destroying and fun.
Kiddos have been playing Space Engine on my account, but otherwise this is what I've been playing lately.
I’m old and just started playing Far Cry 5 (haven’t played any of the others before). Very fun.
Im old too. I played the first FarCry. It was amazing. That was a time that driving a vehicle in first person view, having moving shadows based off of light sources, being able to see far away, and being able to shoot out lights was ground breaking. (To be fair 007 GoldenEye had lights you could shoot too)
Now there aren't any games that let you shoot or destroy light sources.
I highly recommend the first one, Far Cry 3 and its stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Also, the first Crysis game which is very similar to Far Cry.
Been playing Animal Well, an astonishingly cute and insanely frustrating metroid vaniaesque puzzle platformer.
Half Life 2, I got a new laptop a couple of years ago and it was the first that could actually play it properly but I never got to it, then the big update came out and wow, so worth it, loving it.
TES IV Oblivion. Love it, so silly, I love thieving.
Autonauts vs Piratebots, such a fun and cute little programming game.
Mostly Spyro (the PSX one) and both versions of Cyberpunk 2077. Alternatively Muse Dash if I don't have much time (or will) to go for a longer session.
I just finished Ace Attorney Investigations II and I am at that stage confused for where to go now after finishing a game (is not that I do not have a backlog lol).
Anyway, I continued Pokémon Omega Ruby yesterday but I have that one, TWEWY, BOTW (both for Switch) and Chrono Trigger for DS sitting in the middle of a playthrough and I don't know where to go now.
I just went to Pokémon because I never finished the GBA version and it is the easiest IMO, TWEWY I beat the DS version multiple times and I consider that one better than the Switch one (gameplay wise) maybe that is why it hasn't caught up my attention so much.
BOTW is MASSIVE! And the joycon drift demotivates me lol And Chrono Trigger... I am pretty sure I am about to finish the 1st ending... But I am kinda lost in the plot lol.
8bitdo controller. My joycons died during BotW too. I haven't had a single issue with the 8bitdo controller I got immediately after.
Also, Tears of the Kingdom is like three times larger, when you get to that one. Very fun.
Honkai: Star Rail and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Took me multiple chapters to get into Ys IX (very unusual for me, I love the series) but I'm finally starting to enjoy it.
Also started a replay of The Witcher 3.
Sifu
A ton of Darktide.
Top three are: The First Descendant, Elder Scrolls Online, and just started Lords Of The Fallen (which is pretty tough TBH).
I was very very hesitant on ESO. But it's probably the best Elder Scrolls game we'll get. Playing with friends is a blast, as well as wondering around doing random quests in each "country".
I tried it out because I love the setting and we've obviously been somewhat starved for anything else Elder Scrolls, but I just couldn't get into it. It felt like it never rewarded me for exploring like the main series does. There's never something cool to find that's just hidden out of the way.
I did also feel a bit miffed that the Northern Elsweyr story (the new one when I played, and the reason I wanted to play) was just the Skyrim civil war again, but without even the interesting idea of the rebel faction being nationalists against an empire. It was very little to do with anything about Elsweyr, and then dragons became the focal point again anyway
Obviously each to their own. I do see the appeal of it. It's just not for me
Very understandable and valid points of view on the game.
I've been getting back into boomer shooters and dungeon crawlers.
I've been playing more Selaco, and I'm excited for the next chapter to be released. Also Burger Flipper has taken my spare time in that game while I'm playing it (it's the idle clicker game-within-a-game).
I reinstalled Lunacid to jump back in and hopefully finish that at some point soon. I've been playing fun demos like Mohrta and Hark the Ghoul too.
And of course Project Zomboid.
Elite: Dangerous, Tiny Glade, BG3
Grim Dawn - love it.
Balatro, Octopath traveller 2, AC Valhalla, Baldur's gate 3, Crosscode, Tales of grindea, AC Odyssey.
I've only completed the last two, and I'm currently rotating through the others depending on what I feel like playing the most.
The factory must grow
Talos Principle. I set it down months ago when I got stuck on a puzzle. Solved that shit in 10mn yesterday
- Finished all battles in Easy Red 2 and started again.
- Just started Spell Brigade.
- Tried to get back to Astroneer, but don't seem to find myself playing it.
- Tried to get back to Elite Dangerous, but no.
- Nintendo Switch: FF8 Remastered
- Xbox: Sea of Thieves
- PlayStation: Fallout 4
- Mobile: Balatro
UFO 50, Ghost of Tsushima, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Cassette Beasts
Playing Another Crab’s Treasure - a Soulslike with a humorous tone. I had the game on Xbox, but abandoned that and replaying on Steam. I think having a calmer, more analytical mood to the difficulty is helping me make progress faster.
There’s a region where you need to stick to the path lest you awaken a gigantic and threatening enemy bearing an instant-kill attack. I just returned to that area and killed it.
Half life 2 , black mesa, Tloz links awakening via yuzu, Mario kart 8 via cemu, vampire survivors
