Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
- Yakuza 0 – doing the real estate thing as Kiryu; already beat two Kings
- Lunacid – the atmosphere is amazing, but this game desperately needs a pause button
Also about to try Factorio once again
Last time I tried it I found it nice, but overwhelming and without much incentive to continue playing it. Maybe this time this changes
Dark Souls 3. Well I say Dark Souls 3. Reality is its Sister Friede. Over and over and over again. Stage 3 is easy to get to. But she kicks my ass in stage 3.
I’ve been playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and I’m in love. This feels like a perfect bridge between Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon. The play styles for fighting feel really clean and are actually fun, compared to some of the fight styles in earlier games.
I’m playing Skyrim. Kind of. 5 days in to rebuilding my mod list since playing last year.
Finally jumped back into Octopath Traveller 2. Time to finish those quests.
Trying TemTem. Palworld made me realize I never even tried TemTem!
after the wife and I put ~350hrs into BG3, we were hungering for more. We went back and played Divinity Original Sin 1/2. 1 was tough to play by modern standards but 2 definitely holds up. There seem to be a few easter eggs here and there but I don’t see any reason you’d have to play 1 to understand 2. The combat and skill system is a little different but still very intuitive once you get the hang of it and is definitely a solid recommend for anyone who wants more baulder’s gate but has already done every playthrough under the sun.
I’m soooo thankful BG3 went with the skill wheel rather than the skill bars like in DoS 1/2. The bars were a pain to try to keep organized (at least on console or playing with a controller), and I’d always forget to use skills that were on bars 3 or higher.
Yeah, I think D:OS2 is still a good call for people wanting more. Trying to talk my gaming partner into picking it up.
I think the first D:OS is too much of a quality-of-life nightmare at this point to recommend.
I’ve been playing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and have been having a blast so far. It’s a little like a cross between a MOBA style game and Metal Gear set in the Caribbean and you basically play as the undead Barbarossa pirates as they quietly murder their way through a mission.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Awesome, awesome game that I can’t put down. I started the series in 2020 and played through the whole thing that year, so all the references to the past games make it that much better.
Escape From Tarkov and souls games
I may have a self hate issue
Tell us you hate yourself without telling us you hate yourself.
That being said, EFT always sucks me in every couple wipes or so. I want to play arena.
Finished Lost Odyssey over the weekend, and I’ve moved on to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna.
The menus still drive me nuts like they did with the base game, but it’s still fun to wander around. The characters are already growing on me a bit too.
Does it have different characters than XBC2? I have it lying around but I feel like I‘m not ready to see them without Rex since the trio grew on me so much over the course of the game
Call me lame…But Fortnite and NHL only.
Nothing wrong with chel buddy
My friends finally for me to play Fortnite a few weeks ago.
I’m in too deep.
I’m level 157…
One of us. One of us.
