Back on my Elite: Dangerous bullshit again with the latest update. Power play overhaul adds some new stuff to do and a reason to do it, while removing a lot of the downsides.
Damn, I have yet to play a good space game...
Looks scornfully at Starfield.
While I enjoy it and have several thousand hours logged at this point, I hesitate to actively recommend it. I feel like it's on an upswing, but it's still flawed. A lot of mechanics are opaque, the learning curve is a sheer cliff face, and there's about a decade of cruft, bugs, workarounds and technical debt. That said, most of the updates since Odyssey have been a net improvement IMO, and the community is, for the most part, actually really welcoming and supportive.

Been playing Deadlock as my main game since I started back in August and been enjoying it. Looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds in February. Really enjoyed the beta but worried about performance in the full game, cuz it wasn't great in the beta.

There's a new expansion pack for factorio. Factorio is not for everyone, but whoever gets it gets a cheap per hour entertainment.

Tagging more that were here last time:

Okay, that's all, cheers.
See the above OP. Read it. Memorize it. Love it.
...Err, answer it?
Gamers rise up
Pikmin rise up
Okay, done.
See the above OP.
Hades 2 has made me realize that I'm not good at Rogue-lite games. I finished the original Far Cry (meh). I intend to play far cry 4 and maybe 5.
I unironically loved Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4.
I’m finishing Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow probably either tonight or tomorrow, another really fun game! I don’t know if I like it more or less than Symphony of the Night yet. I think it did some stuff better, like I think the soul system is a lot more enjoyable than having to hunt around the castle for sub-weapons if you want a specific one. I like that there’s more types of weapons too, but I ended up just using the normal swords the whole time because I liked being able to cancel the attack by landing too much lol.
I’m not sure what’s next yet! I really wanted to play Dark Souls II, but I’d like to play the vanilla version, and I don’t have $40 to spend on a game right now. I’d usually just pirate it, but I want to be able to play online too so I guess I have to be patient. Hopefully it goes on sale sometime soon. Otherwise I don’t have anything specific in mind. Maybe I can finally get around to Final Fantasy VI? I’ve been wanting to give Metal Gear Solid 2 another try as well now that I can emulate the PS3 version.

I wanted to play the new Dragon Age game so I'm trying to blitz through Inquisition before I start it. Origins is one of my favorite RPGs and DA2 wasn't as good but I still liked it, but I'm not totally sure how I feel about Inquisition. I think if I had played it back when it released and had time to explore everything I would have liked it a lot more but as it stands now I'm just trying to rush through it lol

Just finished Selaco, can highly recommend if you're into retro shooters. Absolutely blown away with what they managed to do with GZDoom engine too. Currently, giving Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a shot. It's sort of like mobile tower defence. A fun game to pick up and pass a bit of time. Also playing Jedi Survivor, it's a pretty solid adventure game.
My favorite genres tend to be story based games like Detroit Become Human, or Roguelikes. I find I don't have a huge amount of time for games nowadays, so I prefer stuff that's not grindy that I can just pick up and play without having to remember how the game works. :)
And negative on TGA.
Looking forward to new Mass Effect, but not sure if it's coming out in 2025 or not.

Okay, last one.
Cheers!
See the OP and answer it, if you want.
Thanks for participating all those that were in the last thread of its kind.
I'm just pinging everyone from there as I usually do.

Just got done with the story of Arkham Asylum. Working on the challenges now! Though, I see I'm not as good at combat as I thought lol. At least the stealth challenges were a cakewalk!
Probably going to start up Arkham City once I'm done and keep this ball rolling.

Resident Evil Village again and I finished SH2 Remake. RDR2 next.
Another future RDR2 fan, I see.
I can't wait to smoke all the racists and slaveowners. Funnily enough I already know a lot about RDR from memes alone lmao.
lol It does have its share of memes.
School has taken up most of my “gaming time” so I haven’t done much of it. The most recent game I have played is Fields Of Mistria which is like Stardew Valley but with a 90s anime aesthetic and magic. It’s in early access on steam and it’s really fun. I also of course have been playing Stardew valley, especially since the new update recently came out for switch, and Mario Kart 8DX. Once the semester is over I will play Disco Elysium and some other games I have yet to start. I don’t really have a favourite genre except I seem to gravitate towards fantasy and life type games I guess. Chill games with things to do, expect Mario kart is anything but chill. I also like Zelda.
There is only one game I am looking forward to but there has been no clear release date: Haunted Chocolatier, which is made by the same guy who created Stardew, ConcernedApe.
I hope one day I can get a steam deck so I can play all my games away from my computer. I actually prefer handheld and I think I’d play more game if I had the means.
Tbh, I won't have much gaming time left with my new upcoming job with FedEx. And yeah, I'm also gravitating toward "cozy games," which is what you seem to describe. Take care. Also, damn, I want Haunted Chocolatier. Fields of Mistria is another good "cozy game." And play the new Zelda game; it's the best one in a while, better than Tears of the Kingdom (which isn't saying much).
I’m almost finished playing Zelda: Wind Waker for the first time in about 10 years.
Firstly it feels crazy to me that its now been as long since the HD Wii U version was released as it was from that release to the original.
Great game though, amazed I still remember where almost everything is. Exploring the ocean in the first half of the game has always been one of my favorite parts. It does a great job of capturing a whimsical sense of adventure for me.
My biggest criticism of the game is that it feels like its about 2 dungeons light. There should have been one on the Great Fish Island for the last pearl before you get the Master Sword and there should have been one more after that with a 3rd sage.
I remember this being commonly held belief back in the day that the game was probably a bit rushed, but it definitely sticks out more to me now than I had recalled.
Overall still one of my favorite Zelda games, I hope one day they go back to making this sort of style of 3D Zelda because the new ones just don’t do it for me.
Yeah, Wind Waker is one of those Zelda games I think fondly of.
More so than Twilight Princess, though it's arguably the better game.
Though Wind Waker just felt more fun and explorative.
Ghost of Tsushima on steam deck, baldurs gate 3 on the big rig. Balatro on the phone. All three games are so very fun.

I'm playing Final Fantasy 15 A New Empire. It's a shitty kingdom-building mobile game with guilds and sieges and endless timers. It's got nothing to do with FFXV, but in my headcanon this is what Noctis was doing during the timeskip.
If anyone knows where to download either King's Knight or War for Eos, then I'm all ears! I want to play everything related to FFXV out there.

What video games have you played recently?
Mainly Pokémon. I never really played any of the official games, only some browser one when I was a kid. I don't know why I suddenly felt the urge to play it, but it's cool, I'm enjoying it. I just defeated the Elite 4 in Fire Red, all that's left is the post game content, I think.
I'm also playing PokéRogue, which is pretty fun and PokéMMO with a friend, though we're only 4 badges in on Kanto.
Other than that I'm occasionally playing Isaac, Balatro and For the King.
What are you anticipating for the TGA this year?
and
What are you anticipating for 2025?
I haven't kept up with recent game announcements so I don't really know what to expect or anticipate.
The only exception is an indie called .45 Parabellum Bloodhound. This game's trailer hooked me in instantly, I'm really excited to play it when it releases.
Here's the trailer if anyone is interested. Also, the music fucking slaps.
