Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth
I’m 25 hours in and barely touched the main story. Once they let me roam around I did nothing but side content. Just yesterday I got access to the “Pokemon” League and I see myself not touching any story content for another 5 hours. It’s great.
Loved the game. I just did the main story and side stories as it’s the plot and characters I play Like A Dragon games for; I wasn’t interested enough in the Sujimon or Dondoko Island stuff to get into it. And no way am I paying extra to do New Game Plus!
Amored Core 6. It’s the first Armored Core that I have played. The setting and story are not really my thing, but the gameplay is a lot of fun.
I gave up on that game after dying to the helicopter boss for 30 mins straight lol
Try getting underneath/above and stick close to it, melee when you can, especially when it’s staggered. I found it brutal as well, typical From serving that up right at the start hah.
Make sure to do all three endings. The story is deceptively pretty decent. You feel like a real badass by the end
Guild Wars 2. Love it.
Started playing in beta, took a break for years, and have been playing it again with friends most evenings for a year.
Turnip Boys robs a Bank.
Go play it.
Cool didn’t know there was a sequel or spinoff. Thanks for the heads up!
Isnt there a Turnip Boy commits tax fraud game out there?
Never played it but so far i saw it in playthrough its a rather fun game ;D.Tax Evasion. Yoshi’s the one who committed tax fraud.
Yeah, it’s a Legend of Zelda like game. Robs A Bank is more of a run and gun Rogue-like.
Oh neat i will probably play that soon!
Watchdogs 2. I’m getting to old for this. Recently killed Halo Infinite, Farcry 4 5 6 and some others. Software Engineer. Been unemployed for a bit :/
IIRC Watchdogs 2 was slapped in the past for its cringe writing by all review channels I‘m following, so DWAI
I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can’t recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I’m scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.Overall, I don’t recommend it.
I get nostalgia for it every now and again. A week of playing and finding no friends or fun kills that itch fast.
Planetbase, it doesn’t take long to figure out but I’m trying to unlock the other more challenging planets at the moment which just takes time.
I’m on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.
beat Pikmin 2, used a gecko code to stop the timer, gonna go for 100% now
Shrouded. Its bizar how well it plays for early access. Gameplay is fun, the enemies a little stupid but can be challenging non the less. And the game feels well optimized. My dedicated server is running and using less than 2gb of memory of the available 20gb and no lag. Then the building, it can be a bit finicky sometimes but it allows for so much freedom it’s a fun aspect. Crafting also works good, in all I highly recommend it, and can’t wait to finish the playthrough and cycle back in a year or so to see what it has become then. But it’s already worth the money IMHO.
Thirty hours into Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Main story has started to ramp up, but I keep getting distracted by the business management mini-game and the kart-racing minigame that I just discovered while wandering around the map. It never ceases to amaze me just how dense these games are and just how many side activities they managed to pack into one game.
Papers please. Having fun so far doing the story
It‘s such a unique game, I‘d rate it way higher if bleak/depressing stories weren‘t a turn off for me, but I liked it regardless which should say a lot
Friend convinced me to try Helldivers 2 this past weekend. I had fun, but I also don’t think it’s as great as the hype it’s getting either. Friend thinks it will be a long term playing game but I felt like I saw most of what it offered in 3 days of playing. Guess we’ll see. I’m also trying out the FF7 rebirth demo. Wish I had more time to play stuff but this is all I have currently.
Helldivers 2 with friends. But the 1.0 of Last Epoch released Wednesday evening. Can’t wait for the weekend !
How’s Helldivers been? I was a big fan of the first game but I’m having trouble justifying the full price purchase with a lot of the reviews talking about crashes. I’ll still probably end up buying it though.
I’m also a big fan of the first game. It’s literally the same game but with a huge graphic upgrade. You will not be surprised by the gameplay loop.
But the big plus is the ambiance. I feel like I’m in an action movie (the fog, the effects, the music) and with friends it’s awesome to share that feeling.
I don’t have experienced any crashes so far on PS5. But we had long queues at the release. It’s far better now (1-2 minutes yesterday). However the quickplay is still broken for me (tried yesterday). So if you don’t have a group of friends to play with, it’s gonna be rough without matchmaking.
Still just a heavily modded Skyrim playthrough that still remains perfectly lore-friendly. But I’m strongly considering playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance soon. Unfortunately for me, the prospect of modding the hell out of Morrowind again is also calling to me.
Why walk when you can ride?
Currently playing Lords of the Fallen. I’m almost to the end, it’s been a lot of dying, but a lot of fun also!
I wish that company would stop trying to make souls likes. They really suck at it
I disagree, and think it brings all sorts of new takes on the Souls Like formula. But in the end we don’t have to agree and just play what we enjoy. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
How does it compare to the Lords of the Fallen from several years ago? I played through that and found it to be pretty buggy and not very fun, although quick enough that I did a new game plus run as well. I’m curious if the new one is any better.
I have not played the original so I can’t do a comparison. I play on Linux with a Nvidia 3060Ti and fame runs fine, no real issues yet. If you read the forums though, it’s like any other game and does have some bugs for some people. It also being a souls like, means that it’ll never have enough of X or Y or Z for everyone. People complain it’s too hard, some that it’s too easy, some people hate invasions, others think that constant invasions make it better. I would watch a video or two with some game play and you could probably quickly tell if you would want to try it yourself. It also has multiple endings that you can’t do in one run, unlike a lot of the Elden Ring ending where you can then choose at the end.
