I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

Helldivers 2 finally has working crossplay with friends, so I've been catching up with my bf and his friends. They are way better at the game than me so it's been fun being the hapless space cadet sent on missions way out of her league.

I’m working my way through Omori this week. It’s getting to me, but I shall persist. I may have cried more than a few times already and I am still a bit from the end.

I couldn't finish the dread was too powerful

I’ve been getting really into overwatch lately. The complete rebalance has been a breath of fresh air.

Crusader kings 3 as always because I'm extremely autistic for that game, also I've been doing a disco Elysium hardcore run with my nbf where I stream the game and we make all the decisions and stuff together. we're doing a moralist play through because I've heard that that's one of the best questlines next to the communist one and I've already done the communist one

I've been playing hell divers 2, it's hilarious. For a while I was playing a worker cooperative in stellaris, pretty successfully. I'm actually making my way up the difficulty ladder this time

I've been playing Rune Factory 4S. I was going to trans myself so I could gay marry Dylas, but I've grown to like the female MC so I guess I'll be straight for awhile.

Son and I are playing Pokemon Scarlet/Violet in multiplayer. He also makes me play Minecraft. I am playing Baldur's Gate 3, but work has been exhausting lately - not quite done with the game but I am in Act 3.

Street fighter. Currently grinding my way through plat.

I'm mostly playing Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. It's nice to play an Owlcat game that's not the IE-style real time with pause combat. The space battles mini game seems like the best of the side games in the Owlcat RPGs so far - it feels a bit like the X-Wing miniatures tabletop game.

I recently finished my second playthrough of Persona 5 Royal after getting it gifted to me for Christmas, so I picked up Persona 5 Tactica. It's alright? Feels a bit similar to the Mario vs Rabbits game (though I think MvR is probably better).

[-] erik@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

How are the bugs on Rogue Trader these days? I've been holding off a bit on it since most Owlcat games seem to get much better after launch haha

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I'm early in chapter 2, and I haven't noticed too many bugs. I had a case where the looting glitched up, but a quick reload fixed it.

I would not be surprised if it gets really buggy towards the end of the game. That's just how these modern CRPGs go lol.

Total War: NAPOLEON with Darth mod

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I've been playing Nightingale. It needs fleshing out and a better tutorial of the advanced mechanics, but so far, it's pretty great. Victorian Fae realm survival crafting with a lot of aesthetics taken from both Victorian adventure novels and Jonathan Stange and Mr Norrell. (yes I know that's regency)

I am still obsessively playing Dave the Diver until I 100% all the recipes. My kids are complaining about the music in Bancho Sushi 24/7. I may buy the Dave and Bancho plushies they have on sale right now. Send help.

I've been playing through the PS2 Tony Hawk games. I beat THPS3 and THUG and am starting on THPS4 now (my least favorite). Still having a blast, so I imagine I'll also go through THUG2 (never played) and American Wasteland (a better game than the way its talked about).

Probably going to play Dragons Dogma 2 this week though.

Morrowind/openmw rules. I agree with you, everyone should give it a shot. The combat feels weird because it's a dice roll, but there's a cadence you can get into that feels satisfying. That might just be nostalgia talking though.

As long as you're playing to your build your chance to hit will be quite high and it becomes a non-issue.

Just started Persona 5 last night!

[-] IvarK@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Been playing Book of Hours. Has anyone else played it? The vibes are immaculate but i keep going back and forth on whether or not the actual mechanics are fun or not. Managed to fill out me spreadsheet for all the prentice-level recipes tonight so that was good!

Ive been playing a ton of a game called vintage story lately. It's basically super in depth minecraft. It's been really good at keeping my attention. I found a server with some cool trans people on it and not any people openly being bigots and it's been a blast.

[-] ryepunk@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Tears of the Kingdom, I found all the light roots recently so I recently returned to the surface and finished the Zora region quest and started on the desert one now. I already have master sword and like 100 of every item so I can do pretty much anything. Just enjoying exploring and solving the micro puzzles.

Stardew Valley dropped its 1.6 update which adds so much stuff so I started a new farm. I haven't gotten past year 3 ever but that was like 6 years ago so we'll see if I can get to late game farming stuff this time. Perfection sounds insane but sometimes you need a time sink.

And dragons dogma 2 releases at midnight so it should make me feel guilty about not playing the two games I mentioned above.

I also got some survivor clones, soulstone survivor, and death must die. They're fun games, death must die leans into hades style of upgrades. And soulstone is big and colorful with a billion unlocking things. We'll see if I keep at them.

BALATRO is always there to now. Clawing it's way into my brain, so I'm sure I'll pick away at it.

[-] hmmm@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I'm kind of getting tired of Balatro, could go for an action-roguelite next, but no clue what.

[-] moonlake@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I'm currently playing Grand Theft Horse 2 for the first time ever since I recently bought my first gamer PC. I'm 20 hours in and pogging the entire time. It's definitely one of the greatest games of all time.

In regards to OpenMW, are there any mods that make combat more realistic or similar to Skyrim? Morrowind is one of my favourite games and I'd love to replay it but it's annoying when your character misses 9 out of 10 times that they swing the sword.
