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.
Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.
I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.
Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.
Started playing through Far Cry 6 w a friend
Voices of the Void. It's a pretty sweet indie game on itch that's currently free. You play as a scientist who's been sent solo to man a radio observatory and send back any interesting radio signals you can find.
The game is still a "demo" but you can play everything that's been developed so far and it gets regular updates. It's being made in unreal engine but it's been dressed up to look like a hybrid of goldsrc half-life and Gmod. There are a lot of different signals, some boring, some... interesting, along with a lot of Easter eggs, secrets, places to explore and some forms of silliness. There are horror elements to the game, but I wouldn't say that it's really a horror game (unless you find aliens scary) because it tends to be pretty chill (though sometimes shit hits the fan).
It's free. Go try it. If you get into it and want help finding secrets, join the dev's discord. People catalog the stuff they've found there. Tbh it almost feels like you're stepping back in time to the time when your friend told you that he unlocked Luigi in Super Mario 64.
My friend and I started a Satisfactory world together. That's about the only thing I've had time for lately.
Finally got into X4: Foundations after remapping all the controls and I’m about 300 hours down the rabbit hole total and 90 on my current save.
An Advanced Electronics and Turret Component bottleneck is crippling almost every faction preventing ship and station building.
I’m desperately trying to get my own stations producing while fighting off a Xenon invasion of the Free Families which has so far claimed 3 systems.
I started playing Sekiro and died so much I gave up. I moved on to RDR2.
Been playing wrath of the righteous and Ghost Of Tsushima
Currently in 2.3 in FFXIV, still having so much fun with it
Cyberpunk 2077. I think I'm close to the end, finishing the side quests that have any substance to them and then the main story and I want more.
Between all the bugs, the glitching and the crashing, I should have been sick of it by now, but there's something about this setting and story that is just so gripping.
Can't stop thinking about what could have been if it lived up at least partially to the expectations.
Asseto Corsa Competizione, back into it after a while. Working on my new profile's safety rating to be eligible for some leagues. The newer cars are fun, but I keep getting taken out by lower rank players which is making progress slow.
I will probably load up Transport Fever 2 this weekend. I got it on Summer Sale and really enjoyed the 2-3 hours or so I've put into it so far.
Should probably squealeze in some Diablo 3 but not very motivated. Also, very excited for Baldur's Gate 3 finally coming out. Gonna Bard it up!
Just finished Rayman Origins. Nearly a decade old but the game still looks incredible. Moving on to Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS now
Street Fighter 6! Looking forward to Remnant 2 though. The first was a sleeper hit with me.
OrnaRPG, TotK and D4
Sekiro. It's hard.
Ys 8. My first Ys game and damn it is awesome..
I've been getting started with Techtonica and continuing to play Diablo IV - looking forward to giving a new seasonal character a go in D4
Finally getting around to Assassin's Creed Origins. As a lifelong fan of the franchise, I'm still coming to grips with the changes, but it is not bad at all.@quinten
I found once you got into act four or so of the story the game kind of became a slog, but there are some pretty great moments, and the protagonist is very well done. That being said, I think odyssey revises the changes much better and is just an unbelievable game
I just beat aliens: dark descent. I thought it was pretty descent overall. Its kind of a real time strategy with slowmo or pause. It feels a lot like xcom but not turn based and honestly just less tactical overall as you can't issue individual commands, only commands to the whole squad. With that being my main criticism, I still enjoyed it as it did the Aliens feel pretty good, although parts of the plot were pretty silly. 7/10.
it's a lot of 7d2d lately, with the new updates that hit recently. not a super huge fan of some of the changes to progression, but it's at least reignited my interest in wasting another 800 hours smackin tress and shooting zombies.
I recently finished Storyteller. It's a short game and you can finish it in a day, but boy does it look gorgeous and boy does it keep your noggin activated.
