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 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] NothingButBits@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Witcher 3. Nearly done with it.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Hopefully, you get the good ending.

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 6 months 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 6 months 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.

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.
