I've been playing Factorio... Help

[-] csfirecracker@lemmyf.uk 8 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, they'll be releasing the expansion soon. The factory must grow.

[-] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'm so excited for the multi level trains. They would help me so much

I'm playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I've been really enjoying myself

[-] dirtySourdough@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it's so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers

[-] ezures@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago

Sadly the boomers are a minor faction, but if they did have an ending, it would be entertaining.

Been on parental leave, for a couple of days. I hooked up the PC to the living room TV and I've been casually playing No Man's Sky. It's utterly cathartic to fly around space with a 5 day old sleeping, his chest on my belly.

[-] bluespin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey, congrats. Ours is due early next year so I'll be doing similar

Just finished the main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn. Looking forward to the frozen wilds next.

[-] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 year ago

Star Wars: Republic Commando. Hell yeah

[-] all-knight-party@kbin.run 4 points 1 year ago

Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Replaying Grim Dawn for the nth time, finishing the main campaign and then heading into the DLCs. After that, I'm not sure.

[-] DrMordinSolus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Civ V with Vox Populi overhaul mod

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Project zomboid. It's crazy how deep the game is and the mods make it even cooler

[-] You_are_dust@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

The Resident Evil 2 remake. It's pretty awesome honestly. I'm actually pretty surprised how good it is. It's easily my favorite RE game behind the original release of RE4.

[-] parascope_a_dope@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Back into Monster Hunter: World on PC! There’s still a small community of players filling up the servers, and it’s been fun.

[-] alokir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Just started Dragon Age Origins, I'm still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I'd enjoy.

Picked up Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 used a while back for $5. I got the free upgrade to the PS5 version and have been playing Skyrim with my son for his first time. I am enjoying playing it again with better graphics, and he's loving seeing it for the first time.

A lot of Kingdom Rush Origins. Working on beating the campaign on impossible. I definitely recommend it if you are a fan of tower defense games.

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

Space Station 14

[-] anomaly@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Just finished Cacoon pretty looking easy puzzle game followed by Heretics Fork

[-] bluefirex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Apart from my usual rounds of Fortnite and casual Cities Skylines, I've been re-enjoying Office Jerk on iOS again and got a few laughs out of it 😁

I've been playing Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen for the first time. This is my first experience with the Dragon Quest series, and my way of dipping my toes into JRPGs. I've completed the first two chapters and I'm enjoying it so far. It's pretty straight forward gameplay and doesn't require much thinking. The story isn't exactly riveting yet. The translation is a bit rough, but that makes it kind of humorous. Thankfully it's still easy to follow what the characters are saying. I'm not seeing much replay value in this one though.

[-] Fracturedfox@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Not super old, but I'm working through Borderlands 3. I'm also playing through some old-ish games with my 9 y.o. like Portal 2, Supraland, Spyro remastered in an effort to change up his usual Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox.

[-] tbblake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No man’s sky Disney Dreamlight valley Cult of the lamb.

[-] t_berium@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Remnant 2. Still haven't got every item.

[-] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Grey Goo and Satisfactory.

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 4 points 1 year ago
[-] Boforn@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Baldur's Gate 3, I've been playing it since it came out and I'm only on my 2nd playthrough. Looking forward to my 3rd playthrough, hopefully by that time I'll have the heart to be able to play an evil Dark Urge run.

[-] EthicalDogMeat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just finished the main storyline for Pokemon infinite fusion. Great game, highly recommend. There are a lot of custom sprites for fused Pokemon so the product end up looking pretty goofy/creepy/cool/cute/weird depending on which Pokemon is head and body.

Next up is probably going to cyberpunk 2077 or Nier Replicant.

[-] atmur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just finished Cassette Beasts, which was pretty good. I picked it up during the last sale not knowing if I’d like it since I’ve never been a huge Pokemon fan, and surprisingly really got into it.

I also started playing Toca Race Driver 2 since I’ve been itching to play a new (to me) simcade racer after the new Forza Motorsport bombed. It holds up really well and it’s fun seeing where the GRID series started. It’s also depressing how little the racing genre has progressed in 20 years. I’ll probably start Toca 3 immediately after finishing this one.

[-] Shialac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It being currently reduced by 50% made me finally pick up "Return of the Obra Dinn" and I love it

[-] halloween_spookster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Core Keeper with a friend mostly

[-] llii@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I'm playing Witcher 3: Blood & Wine, Dragon's Dogma and Tunic.

[-] dirtySourdough@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Damn, that's a lot of adventuring! How's Tunic? I've never heard of it

I'm on New Game+ on ME: Andromeda, casually going through Forza Horizon 4, forever playing American Truck Simulator when I get the chance.

[-] ezures@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago

After hearing the release of Ac mirage, I replayed the og AC. Its quite fun, but some things didn't age well (like the blue filter on the game).

Its funny how in "returning to roots" they took the worst parts of the game, the investigations. Which could work, but finishing thw tatget them 5 mins after meeting them is not great for characterization. The idea of doing more sidequest means more info for the finale of the chapter is nice, but most of the infos are really trivial, like "Guard gonna close the castle gate after alert" or that the scolars can get past the guard, which is the main way of getting into the city itself, and is also tutoriaized.

Theres some dumb shit you can do, my favorites were synchronizing while hunted, and the guards just stand around you on the roofs, dumbfounded, or fooling around in combat and realizing the hidden blade can instakill even after alerted, if they are on the ground or you are behind them. So its possible to run aroun 6 guards and backstab them one by one.

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Into the Breach. Best Mech strategy game out there.

[-] Bleki@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man ITB and FTL are my comfoet games

[-] prokyonid@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Had to hit pause on it this week, but recently I have been working through Final Fantasy IX, the PC remaster on Steam w/ Moguri Mod. Started my playthrough in early September, and I just got the boat and entered the grindy minigame hell portion of the game.

[-] claycle@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

God of War (2022 pc), and I picked up Elden Ring and Obra Dinn on sale so they are next.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
