Just Cause 4 changed everything around. It’s just not fun, it’s really boring, plus the progression has been changed all around.
Let’s be frank, the Just Cause games were never the highest of quality, the plots were always terrible, and they were super repetative. But they were good zone out and just have a good time exploring and playing action-sandbox sort of games. Just Cause 2’s map was pretty big for it’s time too. 2 and 3 are the best of the series. 4 is a dud.
I was playing a ton of Baldur’s Gate 3, but I decided I needed a break on it after getting to Act 3. I’m currently playing Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for the first time and enjoying it.
Lol I like how you took a break from the sprawling modern CRPG by playing a different sprawling modern CRPG.
I do love the pillars of eternity series though. I think the first game got a little exposition text heavy and could have done with some more character animations during cutscenes, but I loved the story and the setting and I enjoyed the tropical island hopping of the 2nd(though I do wish the ship to ship combat was better they were so close to what could have been a paired down FTL).
I’ve been playing heaps of Alpha Sapphire on the 3DS, on and off, and really delighted to find that the online mmo-lite elements are still working. So I’m mostly wandering around finding other people’s secret bases, trading and then spending way too much time using Pokemon Amie. This game is lovely, and I’m still finding new things in it. I think it might be my favourite Pokemon game.
I’m on the last level of Dishonored 2 (low chaos playthrough). It’s taken me a year to get here because I don’t have much free time and I get bored playinr the same game every time I get free time.
DM’ing my first DnD campaign ever with some of my friends, all of us are new. Besides that, Cyberpunk for the second time, and Baldur’s Gate for a fourth time with a friend who just got the game.
I'm trying to make D&D happen since playing Baldur's Gate. Scheduling will be hard. I GMed one tabletop game of Cyberpunk 2020 about ten years ago, and I played in a short campaign of Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, so I'm not totally new to tabletop RPGs, but I'm new to D&D. I'm going to make it happen one way or another though. I'm too deep into D&D Beyond looking up spells and level up guides at this point.
I was looking into Cyberpunk! Reading through my files I realized I got the sourcebook with the game. Ended up getting Carbon 2185 and already looking into making some homebrew systems to take it into a shadowrun esque bent. Will have to talk my guys into that one though, some of them aren’t interested in a cyberpunk run, maybe once I pitch those HBs they’ll get into it.
I had to take up DM duties for this run and assure everyone I’d take it easy on them, so they can learn systems and all. Turns out I really like world building and planning sessions, but RPing characters is really hard for me. I got a very monotone voice and my range of accents is very limited. Making up for it with a ton of planning though. I’ll make sure to pass on my workflow to whomever ends up DMing after me.
Do Worlds Without Number instead of DnD. Trust me.
I also started with DnD and slowly realized it’s not a very good ttrpg.
You’ll see when your players start sighing deeply everytime combat starts because everyone knows that this will take the whole evening.
WWN is free, so I highly recommend!
I’ll be happy if you at least take a quick look at other ttrpgs. :D
DnD is obviously the most famous one by far. The problem is that it’s so famous, most people don’t think that there are in fact other games out there, often with newer ideas and better design, faster and easier mechanics that does not get in the way.
There is also different styles to consider.
The combat focused every PC is an unkillable superhero powertrip style fantasy, like DnD5e and Pathfinder.
The lethal think before you act type old school style fantasy.
The narrative Powered by the Apocalypse style games.
The investigative thriller type GUMSHOE and Call of Cthulhu games.
Etc etc.
Im running my favorite of all time game Delta Green (great podcast here if you want to listen) as the main game right now and Forbidden Lands in between, for our fantasy fix. Great games as well!
Trying out a new build in Path of Exile. Recently got into the game and it’s actually pretty good, I wish I started playing years ago though because there’s so much content 😅
I want to switch to something else soon so I don’t burn myself out on the game.
Thanks! Been trying to do that as there’s just so much to learn. I’ve stuck to a few build guides (started playing midway through Crucible). I found a build that I like and it’s fun (RF inquis, nice walking simulator 😅) but it struggles doing content that I like (bossing). So I’m trying out a DD Elementalist with the hopes of next league maybe being just a one build guy and respecing once I get some currency.
I have been able to get two voidstones, and the Maven seems doable as my RF but when I read about the fight I must have ignored that last phase and had horrible placement on those pools.
I want to complete all the end game bosses first and then I’ll try to do a deep dive on the passive tree and maybe try my own builds or something.
