Pokémon Violet. I have the dex. I’ve finished the storyline. I just find raiding fun and relaxing.
I've been playing The Division 2 and I'm really enjoying it. I stopped playing for a few years, and now I've managed to stop the game crashing every 5 minutes, it's really good fun.
If I may ask, how did you stop the crashes? I have more than 800 hours on TD1 but I couldn't play more than 100 in TD2 due to constant crashes. Man I love those games.
Currently have Cult of the Lamb on hold, and I also need to get back into No Man's Sky and check out the new content.
Also salivating over Starfield videos 😁
I've been surprisingly happy with the diablo 4 campaign. The amount of food voice acting, grittiness, solid side quests, it's been nice. Though I am missing that bit of d2 and d3 where you can just plow through hordes of enemies
I played Cult of the Lamb when it first came out, but found the cult system itself to be a bit too easy to be satisfying. The combat roguelike bit was alright tho. I also need to hit that NMS expedition before it vanishes.
I’m trying really hard not to get too hyped for Starfield, what with the way games seem to release these days…but damn it looks like the SciFi game I’ve always wished I could play!
Cult of the Lamb is great too.
Same. Normally I go into huge games with lots of player agency with a walkthrough sitting next to me because I want the 'perfect ending'. I think with this one I'm just going to get lost in it and whatever happens happens. It looks so good.
Dota 2. But I swear I'm not toxic, just addicted. No others would hate it like I do.
I've been jumping back and forth between The Finals Closed Beta and Battlebit Remastered when I'm not leveling my sorcerer on Diablo IV.
Outside of that, for demos I played the FF16 demo which blew my wig back. Lusant is another one coming from Don't Nod that I played a small chunk of and quit because I knew it was right up my alley and didn't need to see more, have a feeling it'll be a shorter experience. Then I tried Lies of P, which has busted HDR support on PC, so gonna give it a shot on PS5 today. Overall dug the vibe and combat, the influence from Bloodborne is all over the damn game.
I've started a new playthrough of cyberpunk after putting about 50 hours into Street fighter this week.
Figured with the new Cyberpunk DLC coming out it was time to return to it. I played about 3-4 different endings on release so looking forward to going back to it.
I just started both Diablo IV and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I haven't spent a ton of time in either of them yet, but I am really liking them so far
Not sure I will play anything in the coming week, as I haven't the previous one.
I have been meaning to get Minecraft setup on my M1 MPB... have also started a few games on PS5 - but I just haven't the time or energy lately - we normally end up just watching a movie before bed which is a bit less engagement.
If I find some time, then probably Horizon Zero Dawn solo, or playing It Takes Two with my partner 😊
Deep Rock Galactic, solid game for a solid time;
X3:FL, I regret it and I'm going to continue (Halo 2 on legendary difficulty is less frustrating than X3:FL with exploits).
I love DRG. It's such a simple premise, and it's just so much fun. Doesn't take itself too seriously and the devs seem like a cracking bunch of lads.
It's the only game where I feel that playing with randos is better than playing with friends I can talk to, for some reason.
I mostly use CTRL, V and X to communicate at all times, but recently I admitted to someone in-game that I always throw a C4 and immediately detonate it if someone pings me and uses the "Easy on the C4, eh?" line - they kept pinging me at all times and I've even had to preemptively apologize to an unaware scout.
Besides, there's just something special about hearing 8 engineers with Fat Boys yelling "I CAN'T FEEL MY BEARD, HEEEELP" at the same time
I've been cleaning though some games that I had only partially completed in anticipation that I will need more hard drive space come september. Finished the dlcs for both Spiderman and Horizon zero dawn which I quite enjoyed, and now I'm playing far cry 6 which is okay but definitely not living up to it's own potential.
Been playing some RE: revelations 2 on switch, lately been on a Resident evil mood just finches RE2R so going with the franchise a little bit.
This week, a little Citizen Sleeper, a little of a Doom wad called Lost Civilization and No Man's Sky on Switch.
I'm mostly finished with The Cult of the Lamb - just doing boss rushes and minor cult duties for fun and I have also been playing McPixel 3. I fired up The Binding of Isaac for a quick run, too.
Solasta - Crown of the Magister cRPG trying to replicate the feel of tabletop RPG as well as possible IMO they did it really well ! Not everything is perfect of course, and it's more combat-centered than my tabletop experience, but I'm really enjoying this first playthrough (playing in coop with a friend).
Divinity - Original Sin 2 RPG with a turn-based combat system, a somewhat open world and interesting storylines I stopped playing on normal and started again on tactician, I was getting bored by the fights becoming too easy during act 2.
MW2 - DMZ
I've been hearing a lot about "extraction shooters" in the last month, and DMZ was the most suggested one to try. So I gave it a try this week.
I'm no stranger to FPS games, I watched a few hours of DMZ beginner videos so I understand the systems. But jumping into MW2 as a newbie... the MW2 client is overwhelming with battle passes, account level, rank ups, perk unlocks, missions, etc. etc.
That's the good part about CoD once you get a handle on it, you're always unlocking something or making progress and time never feels "wasted" even if you're doing poorly.
Unfortunately, the UI this time around is really bad and makes it unnecessarily hard to understand.
Dragon Age: Origins
I remember playing a little bit of Inquisition years ago, but I never got very far. I felt like playing a somewhat old school RPG and I know this game is held in high regard so I'm giving it a shot. So far it seems pretty good but I've only put a couple of hours in.
Also playing Enlisted.
I love this game! One of my favorites. Enjoy.
Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too
I played this recently, but I wasn't a fan of the style at all. It still played well, and I finished it, but I could have done with a shorter game.
FF Pixel Remaster marathon by day, Amnesia: The Bunker by night. The latter is a must play for survival horror fans, Frictional nailed it.
I'm waiting for those FF Remasters to go on a decent sale. I played one of the 3D remakes on DS (FF3 I think) and the old FF6 release on Steam, but I want to give the others a shot as well and prefer the pixel look massively.
Tears of the Kingdom, No Man's Sky, Dredge, and God of War Ragnarok
Currently playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy! I'm also eagerly waiting for Next Fest to start tomorrow to try out various demos.
I have rediscovered Titanfall 2 and am playing using Northstar. very fun
I played the Final Fantasy 16 demo yesterday and I'm hooked. Can't wait for thursday, when the game releases!
While I'm waiting, I'm playing Horizon Forbidden West (the world is so big!), Diablo 4 and as always Final Fantasy 14. ^^
Some Control, some Left 4 Dead 2 ~~and some bass guitar~~
Control doesn't have the most engaging gameplay, but damn isn't that whole SCP-Xfiles story and atmosphere cool and fun to unravel
Absolutely loved Control, how far through are you? You start getting lots of really OP superpowers as you go through the game and it makes combat super fun. The expansions are excellent also.
Just finished the main story, going through The Foundation right now
Love that expansion for all the lore, some cool weapon/character mods to pick up too if you poke around for long enough.
Control is one of my favorite games for atmosphere. Plus I feel more superpowered than most super hero games once I'm far enough along in the story. The vibe will keep you going long after you've gotten used to the combat.
I LOVED control and the vibe in it, I read every dossier and listened to every audiolog and projection and I just wanted more by the end 😁. I really hope a sequel is being made.
I was thinking this would be a link to Alan Wake 2 but was pleasantly surprised. This is awesome.
Splatoon 3 - Getting ready for a LAN tournament in Philly tomorrow. Excited.
Persona 5 Royal - Finished the third palace.
Them's Fightin' Herds - Casual practice session, by which I mean terrorizing a lobby for a little while.
Slay the Spire - After over 800 hours of vanilla, I've just started fooling around with different mod characters, while watching Youtube in the background. Currently playing The Shaman, has some really cool mechanics.
Resident Evil 2 Remake.
I think if like me you are a total scardey-cat then it'll be an effort!
I adore the visuals, the world, how well it runs on my Steam Deck. I have a slight girl-crush on Claire (after a full-blown crush on Jill after playing RE:3 before this!), and a disctinct realisation that if a zombie apocalypse comes? I am toast.
The issue is I am terrible with scary games! But I am really quite taken with the world in the game!
5/7 so far
Big fan of the atmosphere and fidelity the RE team puts into their games lately (though I've only played 7 and RE2: Remake).
But RE2 left a sour taste with their a/b scenario thing. I thought it was going to be an actual parallel timeline of events instead of just basically the same game. If I'd known that I probably would have skipped it.
Warframe! Super fun.
