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.
My friends have been getting back into Monster Hunter World recently, so I decided to pick it up as well. I stopped in High Rank when I first played it, and hit Master Rank over the weekend. I’m looking forward to smacking bigger monsters with bagpipes.
I‘m actually gonna pick it up again with a friend soon! We wanna try and platinum the thing, we‘ll see how that goes. I‘ve no idea where I am, I‘m in the DLC, that‘s all I remember.
Some of those achivs are a huuuuuuuge RNG slog
Oh no…
Dark Souls 3. Well I say Dark Souls 3. Reality is its Sister Friede. Over and over and over again. Stage 3 is easy to get to. But she kicks my ass in stage 3.
Trying TemTem. Palworld made me realize I never even tried TemTem!
I’m still playing PalWorld, but Cassette Beasts is on my short list now by that same logic.
Cassette Beasts > Palworld and day for me. Try it it’s great
Shining Force II for the Sega Genesis! I’m not very far into it yet, but it’s a good old classic JRPG.
Escape From Tarkov and souls games
I may have a self hate issue
Tell us you hate yourself without telling us you hate yourself.
That being said, EFT always sucks me in every couple wipes or so. I want to play arena.
after the wife and I put ~350hrs into BG3, we were hungering for more. We went back and played Divinity Original Sin 1/2. 1 was tough to play by modern standards but 2 definitely holds up. There seem to be a few easter eggs here and there but I don’t see any reason you’d have to play 1 to understand 2. The combat and skill system is a little different but still very intuitive once you get the hang of it and is definitely a solid recommend for anyone who wants more baulder’s gate but has already done every playthrough under the sun.
I’m soooo thankful BG3 went with the skill wheel rather than the skill bars like in DoS 1/2. The bars were a pain to try to keep organized (at least on console or playing with a controller), and I’d always forget to use skills that were on bars 3 or higher.
I guess I should have specified PC, the interfaces on PC are very similar and most of the hotkeys are the same across all 3 games which is a big plus
Ah ok I’ve only really played on Xbox, since that’s where my CRPG buddy is. Still trying to convince him to build a gaming PC. Or at least get a steam deck haha
Yeah, I think D:OS2 is still a good call for people wanting more. Trying to talk my gaming partner into picking it up.
I think the first D:OS is too much of a quality-of-life nightmare at this point to recommend.
I’m actively trying not to start up my 4th run. I beat it three times back to back. And I have a multiplayer game going. I also have a slew of partially started games. But I have to give it a break because there’s a point where it’s a hobby and there’s a point where it’s an addiction for me
I tried Last Epoch. 10 hours in and it’s the most boring thing.
Been having fun in PalWorld though
My friends finally got me to play Fortnite a few weeks ago.
I’m in too deep.
I’m level 157…
One of us. One of us.
- Yakuza 0 – doing the real estate thing as Kiryu; already beat two Kings
- Lunacid – the atmosphere is amazing, but this game desperately needs a pause button
Also about to try Factorio once again
Last time I tried it I found it nice, but overwhelming and without much incentive to continue playing it. Maybe this time this changes
Fancy that.
I’m going through Yakuza Kiwami at the moment, hoping to maybe finish it over the weekend and then start number 2.
Hoping to have Granblue Fantasy Relink next week. Wasn’t able to secure a copy due to low stock.
Got ya now, Kiryu-chan!
I’ve been replaying Loop Hero on the Deck. I never finished it the first time but now I can do a few loops before bed.
Other than that I’ve also been playing a heavily modded Project Zomboid. Working on building a base to fend off enemy bandit NPCs and zombies. Having to fight something that can shoot back at you has given the game new life.
Post some screenshots of your base over on the zomboid Lemmy community!
I had a good time with Loop Hero for a while, a few months after it came out. Ultimately stopped running it because it felt like I was never able to pivot mid-run if I found a great drop. Had a “what’s the point of the randomness then?” thought after that and it broke the spell for me. Don’t know if they ever made any changes along those lines.
Caught up on all the Vampire Survivors content that got released since I last played, now I’m finishing up GRID (2019) and Spiral Knights, with a race or two of Mario Kart.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
It’s like the only phone game that’s got integrity, can be put down at a moment’s notice, doesn’t rely on good controls, and is good.
I’ve been playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and I’m in love. This feels like a perfect bridge between Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon. The play styles for fighting feel really clean and are actually fun, compared to some of the fight styles in earlier games.
I finished up Guardians of the Galaxy this past weekend, which I enjoyed. Nothing world shattering but a solid title. I’m on a sports game kick right now, so I decided to start a franchise in Madden 23. I would have gone with 24, but it doesn’t seem to work on Linux.
Call me lame…But Fortnite and NHL only.
Nothing wrong with chel buddy
