Hunt: Showdown. 1500hrs in. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Oh and also some THPS2 on my Anbernic RG35XX, love that little handheld.
Returned to Warframe after a long time and got blasted with so much content it is difficult to decide where to start.
It is fun tho, and much more enjoyable because I have so many possibilities of content to enjoy.
Jagged Alliance 3 - very good sequel to JA2, more of the same with enough tweaks to make it fun and the campaign has thrown enough curve balls to keep me interested. Like the original it doesn’t hold your hand, which is good. Strongly recommend if you liked the original
Hi all, I’m Nailbar, and I am now a Subnautica addict.
Welcome to the family Nailbar. I played it for the first time 3/4 months ago and spent a ton of time just idly exploring while terrified of leviathans
Hi Nailbar.
I’m still on Death Stranding like last week. I can’t get enough of this game, though I wish the Director’s Cut version was available on Game Pass
Jagged Alliance 3. I loved JA2 1.13 to death, and while JA3 kinda pales in comparison so far, I do love the fresh content. Hope modding will take off for it.
Xenonauts 2 Early Access - got to the end of playable content.
What is there already is solid, and I have no doubts the full game will be really good. It feels like somewhere between 30-50% along the plot has been added. The game on display right now is not worth the listed price, so anyone not super duper interested in seeing it take form along the way should hold off until release.
Cult of the Lamb. I beat it back in November but picked it up again after the developers added a lot. I’ve been enjoying my replay. The new additions and changes fixed some of the things that annoyed me on my first playthrough.
just redownloaded fallout 4 with around 250 mods it’s just bonkers to me what modders are doing with that game
I just got Tears of the Kingdom. I was able to go in completely blind (other than knowing what the main powers are) and hooooly shit it’s amazing.
If Breath of the Wild was inspired by Zelda 1, this game is the Link to the Past version.
I miss Stasis and the remote bombs though. I wish they also kept my house. I just got my horses back.
It’s a great game but a terrible sequel. Granted, I’m only up to the 3rd “dungeon” now but I dont see it coming up with a plot to tie it better with BOTW.
It’s a new gold standard of sequels, how in the world could you say it’s terrible? It improves on almost every single thing from the original. I don’t know what you mean by plot to tie it better with BotW. Its clearly a continuation of every character and location from the first game. I feel bad for anyone that plays this before BotW, they probably have no idea who any one or thing is.
Recall is the evolution of stasis. Bombs should never have been unlimited anyways. Besides, there’s multiple different ways to get the same effect as bombs now by using different items and fusing things together, and using arrows.
The house was a little jarring. But I smiled because it’s Zeldas house now and that’s kinda cute. The horses surprised me, I had no idea they were going to do that. One problem with them though is they take the data from your regular save, and my main save was the master quest so i didn’t get the cool horses back But that’s whatever in the end.
Stasis had the momentum thing going on and you could do some wacky stuff with it. And remote bombs had fun interactions too because you could place yourself and then detonate it.
There’s barely anything from BOTW that carried over plotwise. It feels like nods to BOTW but it doesnt feel sequelly to me. Did I lose my champion powers from the gloom from Ganon? (Revali’s gale please come back) Why is the purah pad a downgrade from the sheikah slate? Did the guardians become the towers? The whole 100 year war seems like an afterthought and it mostly feels like just a new game. And where the hell is my stuff? I wish they just kept my armor in a chest in the house or something.
Gold standard of sequels is a stretch imo. Gameplay, a bit. Plot, definitely not. It’s not Arkham City or God of War on plot and carryovers and it aint no Diablo 2 in gameplay improvement.
Sequels don’t need to retain the same abilities as the previous games to be a sequel. I’m not sure you’ve talked to any NPCs at all if you don’t think there’s no continuity. No gameplay improvements? Are we even talking about the same game?
But hey if the game isn’t for you that’s fine. There’s no need to make things up though lol it’s just a game.
I’ve been playing Divinity Original Sin 2, in anticipation of Baldur’s Gate 3. I got to the start of Act 2 about four years ago, and just never came back to the game. I always meant to pick it back up, so I started a fresh character and am nearly back to that point now.
I got a little ways into act two last summer and just kinda stopped. It’s supposed to be the biggest act and it’s frankly intimidating.
I’ve only completed Act I and can’t believe Act II will be even bigger, there’s already so much to do in Act I. Are there only two acts in total? After DOS2 I plan on playing through Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and then maybe Pillars of Eternity 2
Finally got around to playing Vermintide 2. Holy crap, I LOVE this game. Me and my girlfriend have been playing it, trying out all the classes and weapons. It is amazing how much build diversity there is in Vermintide.
Truly a solid game, the chaos wastes allow for endless fun as well
Killer update, honestly. I love it
I’m 60 hours deep into Balders Gate 3 so I’ve been trying to chill out and not play until full release next week. Ive been having a lot of fun with Dave the Diver in the meantime.
I play a weekly dnd session. I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I’d check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.
I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.
I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.
Yea some of the encounters are quite difficult in the early stages. Once you get a full party and some levels/items it gets smoother
Do you mean the original Baldurs Gate or Baldurs Gate 3, the upcoming one?
I’m sure it’s the upcoming, it’s been in EA for almost a year so plenty of people like myself have been playing it for some time
Couldn’t be too sure, older games tend to be a bit more brutal and I think the original uses a bit of less forgiving ruleset.
And I’ve played the Early Access as well, just last week. The combat didn’t seem to hard, though I may have just been better planned and more aware of how much more combat-focused CRPGs tend to be over TTRPG.
I think the biggest difference is that my brother is our DM and he’ll pull his punches if he can tell we’re getting really bad luck or frustrated.
Baldurs Gate doesn’t do that, and really shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be challenging. Ngl, having to control your entire party in combat is kinda difficult for me. I guess I’m too used to only having control of just my PC that it’s intimidating playing the other classes, especially the ones I don’t have much experience with. I also don’t have other player’s turns to plan my next turn.
Growing pains, I’m looking forward to the full release.
The up coming one
Just bought XCOM 2 on sale and I’m overwhelmed by the difficulty but can’t stop playing
Are you playing the vanilla game or war of the chosen?
I love that game so much.I bought the collector’s edition, which I think includes all the DLCs
Just wait til you try the long war mod, then you’ll know pain lol
