Started playing Factorio 🤤
Rolled up an Occultist in Grim Dawn a few nights ago. Good times, me and my partner finished the game during covid but haven’t played it since then.
Same! Just been tinkering around with commando builds lately. It’s a really solid game
Finally bought and am playing BG3. Having a good time.
Sekiro…I think I’m entering late game and I’m elated. It’s such an elegant game, from the aesthetics to the combat. What an experience it’s been.
I’ll share a lil meme I drew the other day. :P hope you guys enjoy
Sekiro is an a timer. Enjoy learning and overcoming those final challenges.
I forgot to ask the other day. What happened to your DS3 save?
Power went out while I was playing and the file got corrupted. No cloud saves. a bummer as I don’t feel the drive to be as thorough as on a first run and I’m pretty sure I was nearing the end game … Probably will speed run it but I don’t know when I’ll pick it back up. :/ It’s not the way I like to play.
Ah damn that sucks! :(
I’m sure there are save files to download at various points from the internet, but that’s not as fun either I suppose.
Could that be done for a console? It hadn’t even occured to me.
Oh… I didn’t realise you were on console. I highly doubt it :( I’m pretty sure save files are encrypted to prevent cheating, at least on PlayStation.
Not patient this week. Playing Crimson Desert.
I’m really liking it. It’s giving me the same kind of joy Skyrim did when it first came out.
I’m also liking it, it’s been the only game I’ve played for the whole week. The start was kind of rough and the controls still have some issues (it’s just weird. Sometimes they feel responsive, other times it feels like I’m having some kind of an input lag despite doing the same action), but overall I’m really enjoying the slow burn of the game. I’m about 40 hours in and I’m still in Hernand (which itself isn’t really that surprising considering how big Hernand is) which is the first area of the 5 big areas of the game. Much like Breath of the Wild I’m so enamored by the exploration I keep getting sidetracked and if the rest of the world keeps sidetracking me as much as Hernand does I don’t know when I’ll finish the main quest (which kind of like in BotW isn’t the main focus of the game).
The puzzles are also a breath of fresh air because they are actual puzzles. I’ve literally had to open a notepad to take notes so I could solve a puzzle. And then there are puzzles where you have a map and you need to find the locations in the world that are on the map but you first have to figure out what location on the world the map is referencing because it’s not entirely 1 to 1 so sometimes I have the puzzle map open on my second screen in case I run into some area that looks like the map.
The combat is my god. I might just thrown my sword down and go full WWE because that shit is funny as fuck. I’m not joking. You can grab enemies and throw them at other enemies. You can clothesline, lariat, suplex, belly flop I don’t even know what else. You can literally fight like a wrestler and it’s just as flashy as you imagine it. The only problem with the combat IMO are the bosses. The bosses are bad. I’ve had I think 4 boss fights and 3 of them were literally just me tanking the hits because for the love of god I couldn’t figure what I was supposed to do. Soulsborne games are close to my heart, I’m not swayed by getting my ass beat as long as I can figure out what I’m supposed to do to not get beat. But when I try literally everything that comes to my mind and nothing works I’m just going to evade what I can and tank the rest and beat through attrition. And that’s not fun. The evasions on boss attacks are also kinda weird. I don’t think I have that poor pacing but sometimes I press dodge at the same time I would always press it and sometimes I don’t get hit, other times I get hit. Hopefully combat gets an extra pass by the developers because they’ve been pretty open to feedback and some obvious grievances have already been fixed.
Overall I’m so ready to play it for the rest of the year, which is probably how long it will take me to be done with the game.
These are basically my feelings as well :)
Definitely going to be playing it for a while!
I saw the trailer. I’m down for some sword fighting, horse riding, dragon riding. What throws me off is the train. Why is there a train there?
The game has no identity, it’s literally just stuff the team saw in other popular games thrown in haphazardly. It’s a soup. RDR2 had trains? Chuck it in there boys. Same with the random Zelda sky islands. There is some fun to be had in it I think and it seems to appeal to a certain type of gamer, but I wouldn’t expect the game to make any sense.
Helldivers 2. Still having a blast. There are others but I’m on a bus in Mexico on vacation so not ideal for looking at the rest to make suggestions.
In act2 of baldurs gate 3. Cleared out the starting area to the east and the main hub safe town and now going to the cursed town area.
Gates of Hell: Ostfront
I’m still getting beat by the ai in skirmish. Normal is too easy and the next difficulty is too hard but it’s a lot of fun.
Apart from that I spent time fixing my Miyoo Flip handheld. The hinge had broken but now it works better then before. Even this v2 version is poorly designed but superglue and a little bodge sorted it.
Dishonored.
I’m having a lot of fun sneaking around.
Armored core vi
Still on
crackfactorio. I just researched the spidertron and I am close to launching the rocket. I’m loving it!I tried Beyond Good & Evil, but ended up dropping it. Gameplay wasn’t strong enough to hold up the story in this day and age. It reminded me of better games like Jak 3 and Stranger’s Wrath.
But now I’m playing Crosscode and this game rocks! Lots of good customization, interesting combat, tonnes of secrets and platforming.
Also wanting to get back into Guilty Gear Strive ahead of the big update!
Always like to see the Jak series mentioned…I’ve yet to find a game that has vibes like Jak 2 and 3
Crosscode is on my wishlist. Thanks for the endorsement.
Mine as well, although not super high up on it. I keep hearing good things though.
not super high up on it
I would love it if Steam allowed custom sort/ordering of my wishlist to put them in order of which ones I wanted to get first.
Yeah that would be fantastic.
I just got VR sailing wich is really interesting to learn a bit about how to use the wind at what angle of the sail to always move forward as fast as possible and the races are pretty fun so far. I put the waves setting to the max and my boat jumps and almost flips a lot XD
I also purchased crossfire sierra squad and the couple missions i played so far where not that interesting since i’m still in the tutorial but it feels like a flatscreen game that got turned into a VR game so some things are a bit janky. I’ve spent most of my time playing in the shooting range testing all the weapons. That was fun. The clay dummies are really fun to explode in dust and chunks.
I play house flipper 2 nightly, but this week I played a “story game” Indika. It was short and really cool. I loved the music most, but loved everything.
Final stretch of Final Fantasy XII. Going for the Sky Pirate’s Den in the original NTSC release, and I’m dreading Yiazmat.
