Weekend just hit again and I'm looking forward to diving back into Tunic this Sunday. I'm a good way through it, but can only play an hour or so at a time.
I was honestly unimpressed to begin with, but the overall vibe, and detail of the manual pages, won me over.
Scored the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PS3 on Ebay this week, cannot wait to play
I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.
Oh man, what I wouldn't give to be able to experience TotK for the first time again. You're in for a great time. :)
Super Mario Sunshine, going for my first 100%
civ6! ive never played civilization before, but my kid says its great and it was on sale for 3$
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t discount the franchise. Personally I prefer civ 4 over civ 6, and civ 4 has the bonuses of 1) being the only video game to ever win a Grammy award and 2) extensive voice work by Leonard Nimoy
I liked 5 because a few large cities (going tall) was way more viable, which I prefer over making tons of little cities (going wide).
I'll back up that Civ 4 has been the best entry in the series so far.
Civ 5 is when they dropped unit stacking, which made combat much slower and more finicky since you couldn't just build up a massive deathball and tear across the map, and Civ 6 doubled down on that design space by tying city upgrades to individual tiles as well. They're not bad changes, and they do add more strategic depth to the combat and city-building, but they do make an already slow game substantially slower, since combats that used to be done in a turn or two now require several turns of rotating and repositioning units to get them in and out of the fight.
Civ 4 was the last "pure" civ experience, building off and adding to the previous games without sweeping mechanical changes to shake up the meta.
I’ll be heading back to the Zone with one of the STALKER games in order to satisfy the craving I got from the STALKER 2 previews recently. I’m leaning towards Clear Sky as I’ve played SoC and CoP much more.
Ugh yeah that's tempting to reinstall once again. Last time I did the Call of Chernobyl mod which combines all three game maps and was pretty awesome. I hear Anomaly is really good too.
As much as I appreciate the modding scene for STALKER, I’m a whore for the vanilla experience. I fired up Anomaly and it seemed awesome, but I wanted the familiar beats of the original. One of these days I’ll give it a proper try.
Is it patience if I've already played it? The wife and I are running through metal gear solid 3 after beating 2. PS3 emulator is snappy and the metal gear HD collection is pretty good!
Maybe metal gear solid peace walker can count as patient, as I haven't played that yet.
Got the first Moving Out game on supersale and my kids are loving it. I'm always on the lookout for coup coöp games to play with them.
I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.
Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Heroes of the Storm, Pizza Tower, and DnD!
I started Red Faction Guerrilla (Steam Edition) a couple of weeks ago. Solid game from 2009. Though the game world does feel a bit empty.
Golf
I'll be playing work 🥲
Besides that I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don't know if remakes count on this sub).
Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the "tutorial".
Noita is so neat!
It's like if someone made a roguelike out of those sand physics flash games that were popular when I was younger.
Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it's sawblades and nukes.
Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I've only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).
Jak 2 (OpenGOAL) on the pre-owned Steam Deck I bought on Tuesday. Just very excited to be playing PS2 games on a portable device.
Probably Bowser‘s Fury (Switch), Balatro or Trine 5 (PC), and Marsupilami (Deck) for me!
Just started Skyrim, first playthrough. Full weekend tho for this dad. Not as much free time as in my 20s.
Still spreading managed democracy in Helldivers 2. Waiting for the Elden Ring DLC to land though!
That's not very patient gamer of you lol
Just got red dead 2 for sale on console for 20 bucks, planning on starting it tonight.
Oh man, enjoy. In some ways RDR2 is the best game ever. Some of the side encounters and story twists are top notch, and the game is gorgeous even on my ancient PC or Steam Deck. For some reason I stopped playing halfway through (I think I got distracted by Deep Rock Galactic over the holidays) but really need to pick it back up.
Just started a molded fo4 playthrough because the whole series was like $20 on steam. My intentions before settling on fo4 was 100% to get rdr2 but nixed that when I saw it was still like $50-$60 on steam.
Gonna finish my second playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and then ask myself what to play next.
My wife's been hogging the PC for months now playing Baldur's gate. She finished 1 last month and now working her way through 2.
Elden Ring. I decided to go into the DLC with a new character and getting him setup so he's ready to jump in. Gathering smithing stones and other mats, killing Radahn and Mohg, and getting some weapons whenever I finally decide what build I want to start with. Put a couple hours in so far and really enjoying it.
Yep it's Elden Ring for me too. I've been running my second character (pure sorcery) on and off for a while but the hype has me back in it. I'm a little tired of the gameplay and way more into the lore now. Hoping the new weapons and abilities give it a fresh feeling.
I think I should pick up a city builder, but not decided between Skylines 2, Manor Lords, or ???
Reviews for Skylines 2 are Mixed, which suggests you should play Manor Lords (Very Positive).
Elden Ring FINALLY clicked for me. I bought it on launch (not very patient of me, and I recognized it as a "great" game but for a variety of reasons just wasn't for me. Im replaying it like a lot of people have been and I actually specced my person correctly and its a lot more fun now. Maybe I can experiment with other eventually but a balanced build has been so nice.
SKALD is also high on my list.
I still waffle on elden ring. I love it, but man do I hate certain parts when I'm trying out different 'ideas' I have. My second character used the holy wrist blades thing, and boy was
spoiler
the final boss a removed until I figured out what I was doing wrong.
Going to keep building my factorio factory. Almost done with industrial revolution 3. Should be done in another 40 hours or so...
After finishing Pillars of Eternity (I even backed it haha) in the Fall, I decided to replay (played twice back in the day) Baldur's Gate II, but after paying off the Shadow Thieves, I decided to play Pillars of Eternity 2, to put a dent in my other RPG's that have been piling up. I have to make room for Baldur's Gate 3 and soon to be released Avowed.
Oh and Age of Mythology: Reborn. The original was like crack to me
I just finished both Borderlands 3 and God of War (2018) so I'm in gaming limbo again.
Leaning toward Stardew Valley, Noita, or finally buckling down to finish Far Cry 3.
You can give My time at Sandrock a go, it is similar to Stardew Valley but with a more linear story. Still the game has plenty of content to keep you entertained for a longer period of time and it is enjoyable, and chill.
I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It's like a perfect little dose of relaxation.
It's not too old, released in 2017, but after over a year of being in my steam library I just installed Yooka-Laylee on my deck and got through the tutorial. So far it's a really fun game.
Satisfactory on the Steam Deck
I'm curious how the latest version runs. I haven't tried it since the Unreal Engine 5 update. Kinda waiting to jump back in at the 1.0 release.
Just started Subnautica new zero. The first Subnautica was incredible, having fun with this one so far.
RDR1
picked up No Man's Sky the other week at 50% off and really enjoying it
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
