I finished Resident Evil 2's Leon campaign for halloween and now I'm between games. I might finally start Red Dead Redemption 2 this weekend.

About to start the 3rd act of DQ11, what a great JRPG, don’t think it will surpass DQ8 for me, but it’s certainly close.

Working on another Dark Souls SL1 playthrough, last time I used pyromancy mainly so I’m sticking with melee this time. Probably going to stick with a fire reinforced club until I can get the giant blacksmith hammer. That or a lightening club if I can’t bring myself to whack the giant blacksmith. Definitely miss having combustion and great chaos fireball

Also playing Dark Souls 3 again when I need a break from the SL1 run, nice relaxing claymore build. Love how atmospheric that game is, I’ve mostly been clearing areas and then walking around taking screenshots and admiring the art.

Dark Souls 3 has the best music except for one theme I really like in Dark Souls 2 (I know, I know, nobody @ me!).

Also, now there's going to be a DQ 12... I think? Or is it DQ 13?

[-] Charlie@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

DQ 12, they haven’t said much about it though beyond the initial reveal. Supposedly it’s going to be much darker in tone. The series creator called it “Dragon Quest for adults”, which after playing and not really liking FF16, which also went for a darker tone, I’m anxious to see more!

While DS1 is my comfort blanket, DS2 is my favorite! Majula slaps too hard and I like how different it was from DS1. I don’t even mind adaptability, lol

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

True, but it apparently had the "same story" as the previous one (didn't play DS1).

[-] NothingButBits@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Witcher 3. Nearly done with it.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully, you get the good ending.

Currently playing Gurumin and Ys 1.

For 2025, I'm anticipating for Showa American Story to get released.

I'm all about the [mostly] lighthearted games now.

Traveling for work so mostly just Slay the spire. Up to ascension 5 now.

Not really looking forward to TGA, specially since I don't really care for AAA games. I'll just watch any interesting trailers after, the show itself is unwatchable.

I'm returning to Baldur's Gate 3 after a long break. I made it to the third act months ago then set it aside.

Last month didn't play anything but was playing Factorio before that. I was trying to build a 1k SPM mega base before the new expansion dropped but didn't get close. Was too much of a learning curve scaling up a rail block base with my own blueprints and I tried to switch to it too early so most of my time was getting production back up with the new base build. Learned a lot though. Enough changed with the 2.0 update it's not worth trying to continue my save.

I'll probably pick up the expansion and dive into it again after I finish BG3. Unless I play through BG3 again as a sorcerer which I just might do. My monk is fun but I've gravitated toward spellcasters in RPGs the past several years for some reason.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

You should finish Baldur's Gate 3. It's great. And yeah, I guess Paradox finally updated Factorio, but what about the new one?

[-] arbitrary@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure which new one you mean, sorry. Factorio got a big 2.0 update but also its first expansion. I believe they're planning on making a new game next in a different genre.

The Paradox published factory builder is Foundry, which is more of a satisfactory style first person joint. Wube makes Factorio I believe.

I've been playing through Augustus/Casar III off and on. I'm currently stuck on Procurator. I like a lot of genres, but my absolute favorites have to be RPG and RTS City Builder. But only the ones that are more complex, where the player has to manage the economy, plan production lines, allocate labor, etc..

I don't really care about AAA games (anymore) but whenever I feel like it I'll watch TGA out of curiosity and because I find the cringe funny.

Not really anticipating anything in particular for the next year. If somehow the new FNaF game turns out to be decent I might get that, but judging from my personal experience with anything post FNaF6 I don't have any hopes or expectations. EDIT: I've been hearing some rumors online that apparently new Half-Life game is in development. If true, I'm really looking forward to that.

I don't play more than one game at a time, for some reason, and right now I'm into AoE4. I've been climbing the ladder as they say. Well, not so much climbing, more staying in place, but the struggle is fun.

Just rolled credits on Satisfactory after 100 hours, and been playing the hell out of the Factorio: Space Age DLC (at about 120 hours right now). I like factory games a lot.
Generally having a really good time on Factorio, but Gleba is absolutely not my thing. Everything up to that point I have loved, but I kind of dread continuing on from here.

I have Persona 3 Reload on the backburner, for when I clear my plate a bit. About 10 hours into that.

Biggest game I am looking forward to for 2025 is probably Monster Hunter Wilds right now.

A lot of RDR2 recently. The Gang’s dynamics are really pretty fun and the gameplay feels like the perfect evolution of the Red Dead Series. I really love how they brought back the San Andreas game mechanic of gaining weight and losing weight and I especially like that a Chubby Arthur can sponge up bullets better than a skinny Arthur

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I’m currently doing a Evil and a Good playthrough, that being said, both of them are at maximum weight and have gigantic facial hair😂they both also rarely bathe so idk maybe my ideal Arthur is an anarchist which vaguely makes sense for his character, not explicitly tho
