Juggling a lot at once right now.

  • Been working on platinums/100% for every single RGG game since Feb last year. Currently on Yakuza 2 (HD PS3 port since it actually has trophies but is entirely in Japanese lmao) and Kurohyou 1. Kurohyou 2 and Kenzan are the last games left after these.
  • Deltarune Ch 3 and 4 are gonna eat up a LOT of time this week and next
  • Sunk 20 hours into Nightreign, still haven’t beaten the first big boss because matchmaking is a nightmare. Might revisit this when some friends actually want to run it for once idk. Fun game but one bad teammate can fuck the whole run.

I actually try to play less, phone less and focus more on drawing, journaling and touching grass

But I finished expedition 33 recently and before that I played some crusader kings 3 lotr mod

E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me

I could not sleep at the last day after I went through the ending at all because I was tortured by crying fits

Now I remember that hugging moment even now I get sad immediately and it all just leaks out of my eyes so yeah. I am resting

mysticpickle,

Bro. You can’t do that. No one can handle that much feels in such a short span.

OP: WITNESS ME!

Pour one out for a fallen gamer

Emmie,

I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.

I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well

Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again

PlantJam,

Have you played A Plague Tale? It’s much shorter but also pretty emotional.

Emmie,

I have a serious deficiencies in emotional games played considering I only acquired such taste playing Honkai star rail penacony a year ago. Or rather arcane s1 tv series before.

Gladly taking the recommendation and open to any other

PlantJam,

I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.

Tingle,

The most emotional game I played was To the Moon. It’s kind of like a jrpg walking simulator with some puzzles and light gameplay in it but a fantastic story.

The developer has made quite a few games in the series now but none hit quite as hard as the first in my opinion.

Suicide Squad. Completed the main story. In order to 100% you only need to grind the original post-game, but I’m playing each season now for the tiny droplet of story each has.

MycelialMass, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

First Witcher, pretty good so far

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

How far are you? I found chapter 2 to be a slog, in particular, but then it picks up right after that.

MycelialMass,

Lol literally sloging through a swamp in Chapter2

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, the rough part is that they send you back and forth between the two furthest corners of that map over and over again. But if you like the political intrigue of the show or Game of Thrones or that sort of thing, plus the twist the series puts on classic fables, it will get there, haha.

BenjiRenji, (edited )

Once you’re stronger, you just run the exact diagonal past all the weak monsters over and over again. Kinda funny how the swamp that’s first nightmarishly dangerous becomes like a second home in late game.

I am close to finishing my latest Skyrim mod list, so hopefully I can start playing Skyrim soon.

Until then I play Lunar Silver Star Remake on my Switch.

Warframe never betrays me

Still waiting on that Terraria update tho

Replaying Dark Souls for the millionth time aswell

Some osu! on the side

augustus672,

Warframe is my go-to whenever I don’t know what to play. Can always find a mission to jump into or a relic to crack.

Crankenstein,

Good ol Warframe.

Should be the gold standard of free-to-play yet it is still one of its kind.

The story of its development is truly a fantastic “fuck you” to the gaming industry that told them their business model that actually respects the players wouldn’t be successful.

Owlboi,

my favourite success story. finding devs that care about its players in an industry that only cares about profit is truly special. rock and stone brother

_Momo_, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Planet side 2

Still a decent number of people at peak hours.

red_cecilia,

you should try foxhole if you don’t mind it not being first person

Soggy, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Final Fantasy VIII, almost at the end of the third disc. Hot take: this is my favorite PS1 entry in the series (and IX is my second favorite). I’m not going to pretend it’s a perfect game but it takes a lot of chances and I think most of the them pay off.

Oblivion remake, finished thieves guild and dark brotherhood and the crusader questline. Now I am starting the mages guild. Nostalgia hitting hard.

Games I’m currently playing:

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

I think I like it, but I don’t love it yet. It’s undeniably well made. The story is told well, the acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. Really well done.

But the story isn’t really hooking me yet. Something about that kind of fantasy story irks me. Like, the premise seems so outlandish and arbitrary that I can’t tell if it’s actually good or if it’s just manipulative. I’ve seen so much praise for the intro, but to me it’s like: “Every year on this day, something emotional and devastating happens!” Then it happens, apropos of nothing, and everyone is like, “Oh my god this intro is so emotional and devastating.”

Just doesn’t feel organic to me.

It’s also not my type of game. I’m slightly less than neutral towards turn-based RPGs, and I’m firmly against parrying. Still, the execution is good enough that I’m going to stick it out a while longer.

  • Oblivion Character Creation Screen

I just can’t seem to get past this no matter how hard I try.

  • Minecraft

Getting back into my 6 year old realm. Building a big stables near a cherry grove.

  • Split Fiction

I’ve been playing this with my wife, and it’s fantastic. Never boring, always clever and inventive. Just went through a whole pinball sequence that is just a master class in game design.

  • Ravenswatch

One of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. Also one of the best roguelikes. The gameplay is ridiculously tight, and the new characters are awesome. I wouldn’t personally describe it as a coop Hades, but I wouldn’t outright disagree with someone who did.

Shit, I just realized I’ve been playing a lot of games lately.

Don’t know how far into Clair Obscur you are, but I recommend sticking with it. I can’t really say anything else without spoilers but I found the story very good.

I just finished playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and have started Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. I keep checking wikis and forum posts for information, since I hate missing things (especially things that you can’t get back to). I think from here on out (I’m in one of the 3 Scenario Selects) I’ll keep it as blind as I can.

I finally downloaded Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, and think it’s pretty cool. But maybe it’s just because I haven’t played a Metroidvania in 2 years.

Last but not least, I tried the demo for Big Hops after seeing Giant Bomb’s Unfinished video on it. 3D Platformer that feels very good to move around in. Not sure how deep the story will go, or what mechanics they’ll be adding as the game progresses, but it’s been a delight so far.

kelpie_returns,

If you ever get the urge to replay FF6, the best version (by far) is the fan hack called Brave New World. It removes countless glitches and bugs while also enhancing the level-up, combat, and magic systems, as well as provides a far deeper and more thoughtful quasi-class system (each character has branching ‘classes’ based on which equips/magicites you allow them, providing much better thought out synergies than the original).

As someone who has loved this game for 20+ years now, BNW is very easily the greatest version out there. Def give it a try if you want to see this game re-raised to its fullest potential!

meant2live218,

Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone’s first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?

kelpie_returns,

It is worth noting that BNW is more difficult than the original, as enemies were rebalanced in order to match the new synergies available to the player. So, if you don’t mind a challenge, then it’s a great way to dive into this title!

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I haven’t played BNW yet (though I really should), but I’d be hesitant to suggest something that makes so many fundamental changes for someone’s first playthrough. The one I tend to recommend is Woolsey Uncensored

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon

Tried the demo and it hooked me. Great game so far.

RebekahWSD,
@RebekahWSD@lemmy.world avatar

It certainly looks like it would fill the Skyrim void my brain sometimes has! But also new story that I might finish because I hated skyrims one mostly.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I’m only in the second zone of the game but there’s a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game’s first zone. I’m really enjoying it so far.

Crankenstein,

I want this game so bad. I’ve been itching for a Oblivion-style RPG for ages.

GriffinClaw, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Starting up a new run in Vintage Story (with mods!) while on a break from Ender Magnolia. Landed on the the mother of all starter zones. Might just make it to endgme this time :)

Gremour,

Surprised someone mentioned it. I’m playing it too. Quite captivating game.

Crankenstein, do games w The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!

Swapping between “Flintlock: Siege of Dawn” and “Cathedral” right now.

Just finished 100% Ghostsong, Mummy Demastered, and Remnant 2 recently.
