Started playing Minecraft again, some FC 24 and various racing games (GT7 and ACC mostly with some Wreckfest thrown in).

Hubi, do games w What were your top favorite video games as a kid?

Pretty sure my first major video game was Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and it started my fascination for cars.

My favorite game from my childhood would probably be Mafia 1 though, I still replay it like once a year. Halo CE is a close second.

Mars First logistics, it fucking rocks.

Are you open to community shared level editors? You might wanna give “babba is you” a try. Loads of level packs are available, also on the console versions.

Voxelgram is a 3d picross clone. It has random puzzles it can craft for you. It’s also available on android

Just got ‘Metal: Hellsinger’ It’s pretty fun take on the Doom-like Shooter genre.

Also got ‘Dredge’. Very chill, while being a creepy lovecraftian fishing game.

Both games are really good, if a bit short. But for the discounted price, the length of them is just fine.

averyminya,

Thanks for reminding me of Hellsinger! I played the demo but forgot to wishlist it!

I'm debating whether to get "Total War: Warhammer" (just part 1) and/or "V rising". They both appeal to me but I'm a frugal/patient gamer and the deals don't appear to be that special

toastus,

I am pretty sure Epic gave away TW:Warhammer at some point, so maybe check if you already have it.

Maestro,

I don't sadly!

Kruulos,

TW:Warhammer 1 has the added bonus that if you like TW:W games and in a few years buy the second Warhammer you can ‘merge’ the campaigns in to a bigger campaign called Mortal Empires. You can play all the factions (and DLCs you own) from both games in that campaign. Same applies to Warhammer 3

Edit of original comment:

Loaded up Vampyr after ditching it a while ago. Remembered why I didn’t enjoy it and ditched it again.

Took a break, listened to some podcasts, saw Jusant finally got an accessibility update which makes it actually playable for me, so going to spend some more time with that, since I can actually enjoy it without destroying my wrists now.

antranaut,

Ooh. That’s good news. Might pick it up now, Jusant not Vampyr

rozwud,

Not OP, but I’ve never heard of this and it seems right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendation!

IMHO, some of the beauty of Baldur’s Gate 3 lies in the ability to start playing immediately, and discover the mechanics little by little as you go. Instead of an impenetrable wall of complexity, it gives you a world to explore while learning something new every time you play.

However, if you want to study the mechanics, you can also consult the D&D 5th edition rules. BG3 follows most of them. media.wizards.com/2018/…/DnD_BasicRules_2018.pdf

frog, do gaming w How are you all playing these insanely complex games?

For me, it’s a combination of “just jump in and wing it” and building on top of working knowledge from previous similar games. But I’m very much a “learning while doing” person, so if I tried to research how to play a game first, it’s not like the knowledge would sink in. I build up a working knowledge by jumping in and trying stuff out, and a lot of knowledge has at least some cross-compatibility between games of the same genre, even if the game mechanics are a bit different. As I play a lot of games with my partner, we’re often both learning a new game at the same time, and you’d be amazed how often we’ll have a conversation that can be summarised as “I’ve discovered how to do X. It’s like Y from game Z, except you do A instead of B.”

When the game allows for it, I always play on the easiest difficulty setting while I’m learning, as that makes the game more forgiving of mistakes. There’s no shame in playing on easy mode, even for serious gamers. :)

I’ve gotten back into Minecraft lately, after not playing it at all for at least a year. I finally reached a couple major milestones, like defeating the Enderdragon and obtaining netherite scraps (still don’t have any netherite equipment yet–obtaining smithing templates is a real pain). Playing on a couple SMP servers has also motivated me to put actual effort into beautifying my bases, rather than just living in a tiny wooden shack I made on day one or two.

limeaide,

For the last 4 years I go back to Minecraft at the beginning of the year with a friend so I’m excited for this year’s play through in 2-3 months

It’s times like these where flash games are missed a little extra.

Armorgames.com had a ton of fun games that would have been perfect for pads and such.
