The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
(lemmy.world)
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.
Currently, I'm in between games. Tried Divinity Original Sin 2, my first CRPG, but it felt overwhelming. Planning to revisit it during Christmas break.
Gave New World a shot, found it boring, got a refund. I would rather spend those $20 on something better.
Enjoying the Tony Hawk remaster, likely to finish it in the next week or so.
Playing GTA IV, but it's gotten dull after 3 hours. The story is interesting, but the gameplay feels like I'm just running errands.
I found the gameplay of GTA 4 and 5 to be "drive across town to watch a custscene" at their core, but GTA4 is very enjoyable if you a) relax into it, stop trying to take control and just accept that you're kind of playing a movie, and b) get good at the driving, which has a surprisingly high skill ceiling. The feeling of just running errands won't fully go away but the story builds and the missions get more exciting.
Part of why I liked RDR2 so much was it felt like being IN a Cohen brothers movie. Really did feel like "playing" a movie to me. The production value was just off the charts.
Yeah, Rockstar open world games are dull gameplay wise. The only thing that can make you push through is if you like the cutscenes/story.
