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.
Almost done with Metro Exodus, love the series though Exodus is dragging on a bit in the last acts or missions IMO. Next up is Gears 5 since it was on sale and I'm a sucker for GoW and Cyberpunk 2077, finally picked it up on sale last week.
still going on with Path of Exile
I've been putting some serious hours into No Man's Sky the last few weeks. Lately I've been getting pretty hardcore about F-Zero 99 as well
Wow classic hardcore, I just can't stop playing it. I'm even leveling as one of the worst spec in the game just because.
What spec? I leveled as a holy priest in vanilla, and in retrospect I think that might be the worst way to level haha. Maybe resto Druid would be worse?
I'm playing balance druid!
CP2077, no man's sky, Dredge and Dave the Diver. In this order.
I'm playing Valkyria Chronicles. I think I'm about to finish the main story, though I have to tackle most of the extra content still (skirmishes and DLC maps).
It's a bit strange, but once you stop looking at it as a strategy game, it becomes apparent that it's actually a puzzle game in disguise, asking you to clear all scenarios in the most time efficient way, which usually translates to very precise troop placement and attacking enemies in a specific order.
I already played VC4 last year and it was a blast. VC1 has a bit less content and the QoL features from the sequel are sorely missing, but it's still a lot of fun.
Nice. Personally only played VC1 and currently on VC2 (on a break though). All I can say so far is that the game series is a rough gem, fun but a bit unbalanced. VC2 is better in that aspect though, and I would assume the later games are as well.
I can't speak about VC2 and 3, but 4 is pretty much the same as 1. The unbalanced nature of the game is part of the fun, for me. And if you're willing to play the missions "as intended" instead of cheesing them with the attack-boosting orders, imo they provide quite the challenge (especially late-game VC4).
If I ever revisit 1, I'll definitely play it with a rebalance mod, not sure on which since there's like 3 of them.
While killing a tank with a scout is funny, it cheapens the gameplay. Personally I'm the kind that gravitates to metas, not to the point of obsessive min max, but it's enough to sour the experience if it's particularly busted like in the first game. Doesn't help that the ranking system only cares about speed making it sort of necessary to exploit if you want a good result :/
Work has been busy, so i played Call of Duty DMZ after work for some short relaxation. Been doing for months, kinda getting good at it. 6 days ago i was shadowbanned for killing to many players who probably reported me. Now i'm getting matched in high ping >200ms lobby. I swear I've never use hack or hardware cheating things. So i uninstall and start getting into Titanfall2
Bomb Rush rush Cyberfunk, got almost all of the tags, now I'm trying for the ~15 mill score achievements, which I somehow always fail at like 13 mill. pain
Mortal Kombat 1. The kameo fighters make labbing the characters quite interesting, so many possibilities!
Warframe, after seemingly finally shaking a crippling Lost Ark addiction.
There is nothing else out there quite like Warframe.
I loaded up a cyperpunk save to mess with the new perks. Liking air dash and autocamo.
Playing Last of us 2 while I'm in the middle game of covid.
I beat Kingdom Hearts 2 last week, so I'm just starting Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Taking a bit of a break though, so might not end up getting to it until next week.
currently playing Anima : The Reign Of Darkness on my laptop via Bluestacks. it's an ARPG game and i like it.
Recently played Titanfall 2 and bought the Muse Dash DLC, and man this has been the most fun ride I've been in a while.
First off, Muse Dash. I've bought the base game a long while ago and pretty much cleared all of the hard content it had to offer. Due to the recent controversy, I jumped the gun and bought the DLC earlier than I would have liked, but I did plan on getting it at some point so its not a complete bummer. The main draw of the DLC for me was mainly more content since base game is reeeally small - specially if you are experienced at the game or genre as a whole, and the mods. The mods along with custom charts made the game way more compelling than before. Bless the good people who do game mods, they are actual gods.
Then we arrive at Titanfall 2. To be honest, I did not expect it to run on my i3 potato laptop, but it did... and I got addicted, clocking in 30 hours in like a week and a bit. The campaign is good, the multiplayer is amazing once it clicks, and now I'm replaying the campaign again for the collectibles. It is a genuine breath of fresh air as the majority of multiplayer/online games that I play involve live service stuff, gacha and tedious grind, and I'm not interested in mainstream competitive stuff either with ELO ranking and keeping up with metas. Here I can enjoy fragging to my heart's content and casual competition without the baggage modern gaming entails (battlepass progression, ranked, FOMO, etc.). And even if I get beat by someone better, I view it as a challenge and not pure BS (I'm looking at you War Thunder).
Space Engineer with "Ares at War" mod. Just starting out so it's a grind but a relaxing grind.
Crusader Kings 2 with Elder Kings mod.
I'm playing Lies of P. It's a good soul like game, but felt like the dev took some wrong lessons from FS.
I'm really frustrated that the distance that I have to travel to retry each boss is so far. It's like playing DS1 with some flaws that FS grew out of.
Counterstrike 2 is going to be released on Wednesday. Cs2 will be the new benchmark in skill based fps games and you can get from day one.
I’m in the beta so I’ve already been enjoying the premier matchmaking system and the glorious new smoke grenades.
I've been hooked on "God of weapons", recently. Pretty good rng auto combat meets slim downed "Hades", worth a look and the dev seems to be looking for feedback.
Just starting to properly explore the depths in Zelda TOTK after already spending about 65 hours so far. Have upgraded armour enough at this point that battles are feeling pretty easy with bosses not even doing much damage (eg the
!shadow ganondorf !< fight was only taking quarter hearts of damage)
Still feeling like there is a lot of life and exploring to do before I try finish the main quest.
