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.
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.
Trying TemTem. Palworld made me realize I never even tried TemTem!
I’m still playing PalWorld, but Cassette Beasts is on my short list now by that same logic.
Cassette Beasts > Palworld and day for me. Try it it’s great
My friends have been getting back into Monster Hunter World recently, so I decided to pick it up as well. I stopped in High Rank when I first played it, and hit Master Rank over the weekend. I’m looking forward to smacking bigger monsters with bagpipes.
I‘m actually gonna pick it up again with a friend soon! We wanna try and platinum the thing, we‘ll see how that goes. I‘ve no idea where I am, I‘m in the DLC, that‘s all I remember.
Some of those achivs are a huuuuuuuge RNG slog
Oh no…
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.
Shining Force II for the Sega Genesis! I’m not very far into it yet, but it’s a good old classic JRPG.
Caught up on all the Vampire Survivors content that got released since I last played, now I’m finishing up GRID (2019) and Spiral Knights, with a race or two of Mario Kart.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
It’s like the only phone game that’s got integrity, can be put down at a moment’s notice, doesn’t rely on good controls, and is good.
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.
I guess I should have specified PC, the interfaces on PC are very similar and most of the hotkeys are the same across all 3 games which is a big plus
Ah ok I’ve only really played on Xbox, since that’s where my CRPG buddy is. Still trying to convince him to build a gaming PC. Or at least get a steam deck haha
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’m actively trying not to start up my 4th run. I beat it three times back to back. And I have a multiplayer game going. I also have a slew of partially started games. But I have to give it a break because there’s a point where it’s a hobby and there’s a point where it’s an addiction for me
I tried Last Epoch. 10 hours in and it’s the most boring thing.
Been having fun in PalWorld though
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.
- 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
Fancy that.
I’m going through Yakuza Kiwami at the moment, hoping to maybe finish it over the weekend and then start number 2.
Hoping to have Granblue Fantasy Relink next week. Wasn’t able to secure a copy due to low stock.
Got ya now, Kiryu-chan!
Call me lame…But Fortnite and NHL only.
Nothing wrong with chel buddy
Valheim and Talos Principle 2, alternating
Grounded. Awful xbl sign in experience that turned out to require turning off the pihole type AdBlock or whitelisting like 70 weird m$ domains. No dedicated server so can’t self host on a desktop and playing with friends requires the save owner to be available or use a janky save sharing thing that probably can’t solve the case of co-op team accidentally hosting it separately and progressing because steam notifications are annoying and turned off. Game is decent enough otherwise and most of the things I didn’t like in gameplay turned out to be upgradeables that would eventually become less irritating. It’s a buildcraft survival with bugs and spiders and the player characters are small enough that a blade of grass is more like a tree trunk.
My friends and I had a blast in grounded. Really good times
Enshrouded.
So far it’s as addicting as Valheim. Maybe more, since it has more guiding.
Any interest in playing with another player? I’m looking for a server currently, and would be interested in playing with some fellow Lemmings.
