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.
I'm away from my PC/consoles for the next year but I've been all over Polytopia on mobile. Easy to learn hard to master. Very complex little game that I can play through a few times a day with lots of replayability.
Last night I finished the last of us 1 remastered. It was my first time playing the game and enjoyed very much. Ellie is such a badass.
Will return to it soon and see if I can get platinum for it.
Grinding levels in Fortnite and annoy people with my Peter Griffin and "bird is the word" song and dance.
Also playing some pinball FX and dead cells.
Act 2 of Cyberpunk 2077. Games crashed like 3 times so far.
That also happened to me in the first 10hours,and then never again.
Cyberpunk 2077,insanely good game
Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Been in an SF6 slump so changing it up has been refreshing. Not super into the anime style of it but the gameplay is incredibly fun. Its also a really well put together game with a good single player and a Fall Guys rip off thats also really fun.
Also old school runescape because the grind never ends.
I would have been playing baldurs gate 3 with my buddy who is on vacation and has only his mac book, but because of the differing versions, because mac version is behind by two weeks, and steam needing to have the up to date version of the game, we can't...
Fallout 4! I'm playing on Survival mode for the first time and having a lot of fun. I have a ton of mods installed too, but nothing to make it easier really lol
I’ve found that mods like iHUD, removing the cash register sound for XP, directional pipboy light, flashlights, darker nights, and storms (these can be set to be just visual rather that radiation inducing) all help make the game more immersive without dramatically changing the difficulty.
I do enjoy the health rebalancer which removes scaling health and instead makes some enemies baseline tougher and some weaker. IIRC it also makes headshots on humans instant death. No more blasting away at some scaled raider as they just keep attacking.
Recostuming the Minute Men in something closer to surplus military clothes makes them instantly less lame.
Also replacing all the pipe guns with weapon packs of real world handguns and machinepistols is for me nessesary, as I do not at all enjoy the FO4 pipegun designs.
Finally, the backyard bunkers mod allows a bomb shelter with a hatch you can place inside a settlement. Going inside moves you to a private space. NPCs won’t barge in and it’s a safe place to store extra gear.
Replacing pipe guns and re-clothing the minutemen sound like good ideas! I'll have to look into those
Finished up Greedfall on Sunday, just in time to get my hands on Sovereign Syndicate (launched on Monday). So far, so good.
Been working on Demon's Souls remake. I bought the original when it first came out but never finished it. In fact, I didn't even like it. I've come around to loving souls games and Bluepoint has done a FANTASTIC job with DS, it feels so good to play compared to the original which had a really floaty feel that I hate. I really hope they get to remaster Bloodborne in the future, I haven't played that one at all.
Just got RPCS3 set up on my laptop and now I just gotta see if my laptop can handle it or not. If not, I'm continuing to stick to solitaire and mahjong on it for a while.
Otherwise, I've just been addicted to both Backpack Hero and Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. Though, I'm less inclined to play Backpack Hero since my story mode save got wiped after I went to the main menu after losing a run.
I'm getting back into battletech recently. The story is decent, and I just love the mechanics. I just got lucky with an AC20+++ (giant canon, the +++ means improved stats). I put it on a medium mech (wolverine), which meant no room for anything else except almmo and armor. But it doesn't matter, it goes BOOM. Very boom.
Ravenswatch is a really fun roguelike that's great solo, but the multiplayer is also really fun. Every character gives you a totally unique gameplay so it doesn't get boring with time. I'm really excited to see what the game will look like when it's released, but for an early access game it's great and doesn't suffer from lack of content because it's challenging and has a nice variety of enemies so if somebody is on the fence about it, I recommend trying it out.
I'm a little late to the game, but I started playing Breath of the Wild on Ryujinx (I learned in December that my secondhand Switch is jailbreakable). And now I see why so many people loved it.
It also gave me strong Elden Ring vibes when gliding through the world, so I see where ER got its inspiration.
It has me excite to play TotK right after.
