BG3 with the wife, Diablo 4 with my brother, Hades by myself. It’s the golden age of gaming, friends.
the outer worlds and fallout 4 in preparation for starfield and phantom liberty, I can’t wait 😩
Shoot, that’s a good idea - I need to get on those before it comes out as well! Such entertaining games.
BG3 - finally got myself out of the early access area
Same here. I’m about to enter the Underdark and I’m very excited!
Nice, I had a blast in the underdark
Girlfriend and I have been playing through the Zelda games. She’s playing Twilight Princess, and I’m playing Breath of the Wild.
I’m rotating between 3 not so new but fun games: Hades, Remnant: from the ashes and Celeste…
All 3 are amazing!
Trying to finish Final Fantasy 16 this week. I’m about to start the final quests after I finish up some side stuff. It’s kind of crazy how different the side quests at the end are compared to the beginning. They’re so much better with a ton of character development.
Also working my way through Pikmin 4. Loving every second of that one. It’s just kind pure joy in game form. So colorful and fun.
Will probably try to max out my season pass in Destiny 2 as well, if I have time. The game is about as boring as it’s ever been, but I’m too deep to stop now. May as well play until Final Shape then hopefully call it a day on that one.
Got back to Death Stranding. I felt like delivering massive amounts of cargo on foot.
DOOM (1993): I like it. First time playing it, just finished “knee-deep in the dead” and started the next chapter!
Shadow of the tomb raider: gameplay is fun but the story isn’t as fun as the previous games. Something just feels off to me.
I also just bought most of the resident evil games in the new humble bundle, have only played a little of 1 remaster, a year ago, and 5, about 10 years ago. I like weird scifi horror and this seems like just that, so hope I’ll like it, when I finally get around to playing them!
Can never beat Doom. If you’re PC you should consider the mod Brutal Doom, updates the engine and is relatively easy to do.
Oh, why is that? I’m playing it on the steamdeck, so I’ll check it out!
It’s a mood that adds mouselook. I don’t know about steam deck but it’s literally 3 downloads (gzDoom, Brutal Doom and Extermination Day) and a whole new campaign with new weapons. Really excellent.
Remnant 2 has been occupying most of my free time lately.
Played the Payday 3 beta on and off a bit, I love the feel honestly. Much more like 1 than 2 I think. Other than that, Rimworld had a new mod for vehicles drop so I’ve been playing around with that too. A little buggy but otherwise a great addition and an opportunity to role play a max max colony!
Started Guardians of the Galaxy a couple of days ago. Story is not great but good. Characters and the dialogs of them each other is actually pretty fun. Gameplay wise it’s not special but manages to keep me playing. The system used for commanding your team is fun to use, additional move sets feels like you’re in the Marvel universe.
Enjoying it so far.
Jagged Alliance 3 on hard. It’s been pretty fun streaming it, a few choices but really I just enjoy making the map turn blue.
A few nice callbacks to JA2, decent voice acting. Running cheapest mercs I can get away with because the diamond mines keep running dry and I’m barely breaking even most of the time.
It’s a fitting successor to JA2 and I hope there are expansions in future.
I recently started streaming and have begun playing a few games I never played before. I think it’s fun playing games I never considered with an audience, though rarely I have a viewer that isn’t my best friend or my wife. Today I played Doki Doki Literature Club for the very first time, and recently tried Undertale and Humanity for the first time. I might do Hollow Knight next but I haven’t started that one yet
Just finished Dishonored 2. Yeah, I know I’m late to that party. It was on sale so I thought I’d give it a try. It was OK. Seemed a bit derivative, perhaps a bit too similar to the Bioshock games. It was also tougher than I was expecting; particularly once I started trying to be stealthier and to get the no-kills checkmark at the end of each level. Needed lots of save-scumming and still didn’t manage to no-kill all the levels in which I made an attempt at that. Ending was a bit meh, despite having low chaos at the end. Got my money’s worth though, so I can’t complain too much.
I started playing Pillars of Eternity II about a month ago, then I was gifted BG3… and dammit, I’m going to finish PoE first. It’s a very enjoyable game. Lighter in tone than the first one and a bit less brutal with the lore. This time I have a good idea who the pantheon are, but I still occasionally find myself confused about people and place names. I used my saves from the first game to start this one, but I have very little recollection of what the hell I did back then, so maybe I should have started fresh.
