I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I'm looking for my next new awesomeness to play.

Almost done with Control right now. It's a really good game. A little too creepy though!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I'm so glad they're making a sequel.

I've been playing Battlebit Remastered on Steam and holy shit while it looks awful it's one of the funnest FPS I have played in a while. Super fun, super smooth, and scratches the COD itch from when I was a kid. I HIGHLY reccomend it!

Also Tears of the Kingdom.

That's the low poly shooter right? That actually looks pretty fun. I'll have to try it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah I was hesitant at first because of the low poly but the gameplay is top tier.

Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I'm doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).

My router died a couple of days ago (using mobile data to post this) do I have to play offline games... Good thing I installed a bunch of games on GoG just in case. Tried out Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis this morning, currently clearing the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall Unity.

Wrapping up Hollowknight, finished up elden ring before that. Looking to try out FFXVI.

Was wanting to check out the jedi games too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Having a blast with FF XVI. It's definitely one of the most polished of recent games, everything just looks and plays fantastic. Even if the game is super shallow as soon as you do anything other than the main story. The fantastic voice of Ralph Ineson is the cherry on top.

Steam Deck:

  • This means warp (co-op rogue-like that's pretty fun)
  • Dicey Dungeons

PC:

  • Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
  • Guild Wars 2
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Black Mesa.

I started with Half Life 2 and played a lot of Counter Strike back in the days. This brings back memories even if I never played it and it's way better than I thought, too!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Beat the Miles Morales game recently. Got 100% completion too. Not often I ever complete a game either. Still got a ways to go with Tears of the Kingdom, and then probably a return to Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. I've gotta beat that game and I can finally play KH2 with a clear conscience.

Final Fantasy XVI, and it's consuming my thoughts to a degree that surprises me, considering I haven't really liked one of those games since FFX. I've already put 15 hours on it since Friday (quite a bit for me, I don't get very much time to game these days). It really is incredible; I haven't had this much fun with a game since probably Read Dead II. I'm also playing Battlebit Remastered on the rare occasion that my friends and I are able to game at the same time.
I travel for work so on my laptop I installed Fallout 4 with a modpack obtained through Wabbajack installer (Welcome to Paradise) and I'm playing through as a melee-only knight. I'm using console commands to stock up on stimpacks and radaway so that I don't have to stop and loot since I've played this game several times; I can just run around like a madman with a sword, slicing legions of enemies apart. Playing it as an action game has been a ton of fun.

Also nice username/pic @Teft, I'm a big Stormlight Archives fan.

Spider-Man. Jesus, this game is amazing. I'm trying to 100% the whole game, so far I'm at 82% on the main story, 100% on The Heist (wanted that costume), and 0% on the rest of the DLC.

Currently playing Death Stranding and feeling fit from the amount of virtual walking and carrying I've done. Next in queue is Everspace 2.

Diablo 4. It's good, not great but I think it's a good foundation to build upon. I'm interested to see what Blizzard does for season 1. I don't expect anything dramatic like Diablo 3's latest season, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Warframe: Really loving the Duviri update. I'm an old player but there's suddenly a reason to build out a lot of weapons that I've mostly ignored beyond Mastery farming. Fortunately, I kept everything so the only issue is having enough forma.

Minecraft: Randomly wanted to play it again (heavily modded, All the Mods 8, I have to scratch that automation itch). Haven't played in ages, so pillagers were a vanilla surprise and so was the fact you can now dig past y=0 (along with the new interesting caves and berries). In the end, though, I'm still a dirty melon farmer that subsists solely off my melons.

Kenshi: I also started Kenshi a bit ago. It's an interesting game, but it's certainly a slow burn which I don't necessarily like. I'm up to 10 characters now, but only two of them can handle combat with any degree of competency and everyone else keeps falling over from the slightest breeze. I'm currently just living out of Squin until enough passing by herbivores get stomped that my team can handle real combat. Fortunately, mining is extremely lucrative so I don't have to worry about food.

As far as singleplayer games go, I‘m playing Slay the Spire! I‘ve never played it much before (just modded meme classes) and it finally clicked with me!

I'm deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I'm completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It's absolutely beautiful in every way possible

Still trying to get into Tears of the Kingdom after 50 hours. I absolutely loved BOTW but I really have trouble feeling involved with TOTK, it feels like I've already played the game. They slightly changed everything just a bit, just enough to change the gameplay feeling but not enough for me to feel the same appeal to explore the world.

Just started Final Fantasy 16 today! Not very far in yet but I am enjoying it. Seems a little easy so far though but at least the combat looks cool lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Completely burned out, but I occasionally play Death Stranding, because that bad boy knows how to keep everything tight. I'm thinking about delving into the world of emulation, maybe some TRPGs - will see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I have skyrim running on a janky PC. Haven't played it in a little bit, but I'm always about to lol. Soon enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Just started back into Elden Ring. It's crazy how much of the map is still left 140 hours in.

Recently became a father and regained my love for my Switch, since it allows me to play in short bursts and pause whenever and wherever I need to. I'm currently playing through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and loving it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just started diablo 3 on switch, got it a month or two ago on sale, started playing a day ago. Damn it's fun!

I played d1 100 years ago, and havent messed with it since. Don't know how long I'll be playing, but having a blast for now.

I'm an old lady so I'm playing farm tycoon on switch and Kairosoft's dream town island on my phone.

Got back into Hardspace Shipbreaker for some mindless relaxation. Also Chivalry 2 and Diablo IV.

Subnautica has been amazing! It is one of the best open world games ever made and I highly recommend it!

Been messing around with Tears of the Kingdom and doing a nostalgia tour through Team Fortress 2.

Taking kind of a hiatus from Satisfactory, kinda curious if my GPU is up to running Update 8 tbh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Been kinda burned out on videogames, I've been playing tears of the kingdom but I got the master sword about two weeks ago and haven't gone back to the game since.

Still play Dungeons and Dragons twice a week

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Torturing myself with Assassin's Creed series, I just beat Valhalla though, pretty good but could have been better if it was about half as long. That, and Tomb Raider series, made it to Underworld.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Atomic Heart. This game is amazing. It's been such a long time since we had a high budget single player fps with level design that not linear corridors and that are highly innovative in terms of architecture and style. Plus the fact that it's one of the best looking games out there, and there's lot of diversity (enemy styles, upgrades, puzzle rooms, weird story, etc). I nearly skipped it completely because of the Russian aspect, glad I came back to it. Fyck Putin for nearly making me miss on this awesome product. The only negative I have to say about it is the damn respawning resurrecting robots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've been playing almost exclusively Street Fighter 6 since it came out. I'm still terrible as it's my first SF game, but I am having a ton of fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.

Stellaris - I've spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.

I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.

After I finish that, I want to work on Dread Delusion.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Playing Zelda: Tears of the kingdom.

It’s pretty cool. The world is massive and exploration, especially of the underground is a lot of fun.

The game does contain a lot of busywork and the control scheme is pretty different from other games I play. That hampers my ability to continue with other games I was playing so I’m in a rush to end it.

Planning on FFXVI and a new Minecraft play though with my daughter after TotK.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I started playing AC:Syndicate too. I just want to try to play the games I've been meaning to get to before Starfield and CP2077:Phantom Liberty release because then I will have no time at all for any other games.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Rimworld, F1 2023, the new Zelda.

Daggerfall Unity and Morrowind on OpenMW. Those games got me more hooked than Skyrim

Working my way through Nova Lands, Diablo 4, FF16, and Big Pharma :)
