You hide cards at night in the forest for fun? Seems like a solitary type of game to play.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hehe you're right kinda.

I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can't sleep I'll do Solitaire or crosswords.

If I'm really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison. One day I plan to get an old TV and turn it into a Zen Pinball machine, as others have done on YouTube.

Pinball games are fun. Ive tried everyone on the Switch, and a few on Steam, but they all seem to lack something.

Finding a decent pool table game is the same.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It'd be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.

That said, I've fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.

Repostin'. Trying out Arcanum for myself for the first time.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Love seeing FNV there. I recently got around to beating it a few months ago and it was amazing

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Stalker 2, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress and Project Zomboid.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Good taste my friend

Switch:

  • Witcher 3 (don't judge)
  • Eiyuden Chronicles

PS4:

  • Code Vein
  • Disco Elysium

PC:

  • Torchlight 2
  • YGO Master Duel

Phone:

  • Pokemon TCG Pocket
[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Witcher 3 can't be worse than Xcom2 on the switch. No judgement here.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Currently playing Half Life 2. Got it for free and i love it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago
  • Elden Ring. Only the base game, and this is my first run. I have been very thorough with it, though. I'm currently trying to beat Malenia, then it's off to do the last boss

  • Victoria 2. Weekly multiplayer session with a couple of friends. It's 1915, and my people have just elected an anti-military party that is really hampering my efforts to swing a big imperialist stick around

  • Lorn's Lure. PS2 graphics, generous 3D platforming mechanics, and an impossibly vast and desolate megastructure to explore. Well I'm playing the demo of it, anyway. I am going to get the full version, it made a good impression.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

My friend that really doesn't play many games loved Elden Ring. And ive listened to a lot of lore videos from Dark Souls to Elden Ring. But my PC probably can't handle the game. I can't wait to eventually be horrible at it though.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I don't like souls like games. I LOVED Elden Ring. It was the exact balance of controller destroying and fun.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It's great fun! So long as you're on board with the experience it is trying to create, of course. FromSoft are good at what they do and don't much care for whether or not what they do is everyone's cup of tea

I'd love to try Bloodborne, because that gameplay combined with a bit of cosmic horror sounds amazing to me. I'll have to either wait for a PC port or learn about emulation, though

The thing that stuck out to me more than I expected about it is how painterly it often feels. It's exceptionally good at framing its environments in a spectacular or pleasing way even while the player has full control of the camera. I'm not usually one to worry about visuals too much, but this game's environments really stuck out to me. And while it is very high-fidelity and nicely rendered, it's less about the actual graphical performance than it is about the design of the environments

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I play games too much, so I'll categorise them:

New ones I've finished and absolutely loved: Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Star Wars: Outlaws

Not new ones that I'm currently playing and really like so far: Days Gone and Mad Max

Not new ones that I'm currently playing that I'm unsure if I like, be it because of the game itself or technical issues: Enshrouded, Horizon Forbidden West, and Satisfactory

Ones I've played for some time and won't stop playing anytime soon (and obviously love): Warframe and Minecraft

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Mad Max is fun. But it never holds my interest for long.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

What'd you like about veilguard? Were you a big fan of the series before? I want to buy it but the changes from the first one put a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Kiddos have been playing Space Engine on my account, but otherwise this is what I've been playing lately.

Garden of the Sea, I am Future, Havendock, Dinkum, Fallout 3 GOTY, Broken Lens, Bugsnax, Cult of the Lamb

I’m old and just started playing Far Cry 5 (haven’t played any of the others before). Very fun.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I highly recommend the first one, Far Cry 3 and its stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Also, the first Crysis game which is very similar to Far Cry.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Im old too. I played the first FarCry. It was amazing. That was a time that driving a vehicle in first person view, having moving shadows based off of light sources, being able to see far away, and being able to shoot out lights was ground breaking. (To be fair 007 GoldenEye had lights you could shoot too)

Now there aren't any games that let you shoot or destroy light sources.

Half Life 2, I got a new laptop a couple of years ago and it was the first that could actually play it properly but I never got to it, then the big update came out and wow, so worth it, loving it.

TES IV Oblivion. Love it, so silly, I love thieving.

Autonauts vs Piratebots, such a fun and cute little programming game.

[-] Mirror [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Been playing Animal Well, an astonishingly cute and insanely frustrating metroid vaniaesque puzzle platformer.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Mostly Spyro (the PSX one) and both versions of Cyberpunk 2077. Alternatively Muse Dash if I don't have much time (or will) to go for a longer session.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I respect the love of a PSX game, thumbs up.
What do you mean by both versions of 2077?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I really like checking out oldies in their original form, even if there's a "better" remake/remaster available. It's fun to see what those games had to offer in their prime.

As for Cyberpunk, I'm playing both the most up to date version (2.13 with Phantom Liberty + mods) and the legacy one (version 1.16).

There were a lot of gameplay and design changes in the 2.0 release. Since I played the game before that, I had a constant reaction of some things being... off. I wasn't sure whether my mixed feelings had to do with nostalgia or if I really liked some of the old gameplay more, so I decided to reinstall the legacy version to confirm (thanks CDPR for keeping it available).

Long story short, while I do like some of the things they did with the game and genuinely believe it's a better product overall, I'd be lying if I said I prefer the new version. I still have fun and all the technical improvements, free content and access to mods make for an easy choice but boy do I wish there was a way to port those to the legacy version. There are a few mods that restore some of the old design choices which gives me a sliver of hope for a potential larger restoration in the future. For now though, I'll just keep enjoying what's there.

I've been getting back into boomer shooters and dungeon crawlers.

I've been playing more Selaco, and I'm excited for the next chapter to be released. Also Burger Flipper has taken my spare time in that game while I'm playing it (it's the idle clicker game-within-a-game).

I reinstalled Lunacid to jump back in and hopefully finish that at some point soon. I've been playing fun demos like Mohrta and Hark the Ghoul too.

And of course Project Zomboid.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Honkai: Star Rail and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Took me multiple chapters to get into Ys IX (very unusual for me, I love the series) but I'm finally starting to enjoy it.

Also started a replay of The Witcher 3.

Top three are: The First Descendant, Elder Scrolls Online, and just started Lords Of The Fallen (which is pretty tough TBH).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I was very very hesitant on ESO. But it's probably the best Elder Scrolls game we'll get. Playing with friends is a blast, as well as wondering around doing random quests in each "country".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I tried it out because I love the setting and we've obviously been somewhat starved for anything else Elder Scrolls, but I just couldn't get into it. It felt like it never rewarded me for exploring like the main series does. There's never something cool to find that's just hidden out of the way.

I did also feel a bit miffed that the Northern Elsweyr story (the new one when I played, and the reason I wanted to play) was just the Skyrim civil war again, but without even the interesting idea of the rebel faction being nationalists against an empire. It was very little to do with anything about Elsweyr, and then dragons became the focal point again anyway

Obviously each to their own. I do see the appeal of it. It's just not for me

I just finished Ace Attorney Investigations II and I am at that stage confused for where to go now after finishing a game (is not that I do not have a backlog lol).

Anyway, I continued Pokémon Omega Ruby yesterday but I have that one, TWEWY, BOTW (both for Switch) and Chrono Trigger for DS sitting in the middle of a playthrough and I don't know where to go now.

I just went to Pokémon because I never finished the GBA version and it is the easiest IMO, TWEWY I beat the DS version multiple times and I consider that one better than the Switch one (gameplay wise) maybe that is why it hasn't caught up my attention so much.

BOTW is MASSIVE! And the joycon drift demotivates me lol And Chrono Trigger... I am pretty sure I am about to finish the 1st ending... But I am kinda lost in the plot lol.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

8bitdo controller. My joycons died during BotW too. I haven't had a single issue with the 8bitdo controller I got immediately after.

Also, Tears of the Kingdom is like three times larger, when you get to that one. Very fun.

Talos Principle. I set it down months ago when I got stuck on a puzzle. Solved that shit in 10mn yesterday

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Balatro, Octopath traveller 2, AC Valhalla, Baldur's gate 3, Crosscode, Tales of grindea, AC Odyssey.

I've only completed the last two, and I'm currently rotating through the others depending on what I feel like playing the most.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Grim Dawn - love it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Playing Another Crab’s Treasure - a Soulslike with a humorous tone. I had the game on Xbox, but abandoned that and replaying on Steam. I think having a calmer, more analytical mood to the difficulty is helping me make progress faster.

There’s a region where you need to stick to the path lest you awaken a gigantic and threatening enemy bearing an instant-kill attack. I just returned to that area and killed it.
