Wanna know some evil shit?

Knew a kid who had siblings all close in age. Their Parents didn’t want for money at all, but still bought only one gameboy to share between the siblings. That’s just stupidity on the parents’ part, to the point of total lack of self preservation!

IE they introduced something to cause conflict instead of spreading it out and causing peace for everyone.

callouscomic,

Awesome! It is a wonderful handheld.

I haven’t played since 1.0. Worth jumping back in?

britishblaze,

I’d say so, alot of late game content now plus the mod scene is pretty strong if you want to really mix things up.

Absolutely, there is sooooo much more content now and the balance and QoL is tonnes better too. Still recommend using the wiki late game though.

V Rising. It’s so epic. Also Elder Scrolls Online

Space Marine II. Simply brutal.

Hogwarts. Okay. Too much walking around and moving long distances. Also crashes fairly frequently.

Helldivers 2. Got a big update that seems to make things work morw like they should. Less bullet sponge. Fewer server disconnections. Excellent game.

Also fuck Sony.

Old Mother/Earthbound games would just let you insta-win battles if you were way stronger than the area you happened to be in. Made backtracking much smoother.

Finished Doom and am about halfway through Doom II, but I'm kind of getting sick of it, so I might put it away for a while.

Decided on playing Amnesia: The Bunker again. I thought about doing some achievement hunting, but so far I've just taken things pretty chill. At least as chill as you can be hiding from a monster in a bunker.

I really like the Switch version, but I really got into the series playing this and Memories of Celceta. I kinda wish I still had the Vita, as I’m pretty sure it’s the only system with every game from 1-8 on it.

callouscomic,

I think you’re right. PSP has 1 & 2 chronicles, Felghana (3), Napishtim (6), and Seven was PSP originally. Though Im unsure how many of those were available digitally so that you could get them on Vita.

Then this game (8) and Celceta (4) were on Vita, as well as a rerelease of Origin on Vita.

Game 5 to date has never been released outside Japan, so 1-8, minus 5 are all theoretically possible on Vita.

It’s all on Steam nowadays too and I also play those on Steam Deck.

Ys 5? No such thing! Hoax!

I decided I wanted to replay Skyrim so I went and downloaded a few mod packs from Wabbajack and played through the intro to Bleakfalls Barrow on each.

Nordic Souls is a 200GB pack that makes the game feel modern and look great! My poor 1060 struggled in some places but the world is gorgeous and the interface is much better. It has the quick loot feature from Fallout 4 and overall feels like a great pack if you want to replay Skyrim but want something that feels new. Also it comes with like 1000 hair styles.
I did have a frustrating bug that made my crosshair disappear while trying to be a stealth archer, and the map was a 2D paper map which didn’t have enough detail for my liking. The list is like 1300 mods so didn’t where to look to fix those things.

Then I tried out Legends of the Frost, which is closer to 40GB total and is a more tame pack that mostly fixes bugs and enhances the vanilla world. I added the quick loot mod and this is what I’ll be playing on, the performance is much smoother on my graphics card and I don’t really feel the need for all the extra content. The world is still a lot prettier!

Nordic Souls is absolutely worth it if you’ve got the space though. There were more enemies wandering around Bleakfalls Barrow which made it a little harder, the refreshed map made it feel fresh to explore (I was surprised at some of the differences in world props!), and it has a ton of new content in the form of quests, companions, locations, spells, weapons, armor, etc. And I definitely recommend wabbajack, it makes these crazy mod lists a 1-click install (as long as you have the prerequisites)

Dyskolos,

Never tried the modpack, always did my own. Which ends up playing more in the modmanager than the game, but the results are epic and exactly what I want.

Besides. You might wanna give ElderScrollsOnline a shot. Even if you hate MMOs. It’s a ton of ES, a bit of skyrim, and massive totally voiced content. Even some many good quests, not just the kill x of y and get back to do more of it.

Also it’s the most anti-social social game ever 😁 Yet still having a very mature and helpful community.

GammaGames,

That’s what I was trying to avoid! Nordic Souls adds so much littered around that it was a nice surprise and mostly something I’d play.

Does ESO have controller support? I’ve heard good things about it forever, just never played further than the (quite good) beta.

Dyskolos,

Yeah sure, it’s a never ending story if you start to make your own modpack. Dunno if i would start again.

ESO does have controller support. Many ppl actually play with one on pc. However they manage that,i just suck with controllers. I only played the beta too for a bit and just tried again a few months ago. It really aged fine. With just a bit of effort (or spending bucks for shortcuts) you can be in the endgame very quickly. If one does desire to. Also, mods make it a lot better. There aren’t as many as for skyrim, but that’s good 😁

GammaGames,

I didn’t know ESO had mods, interesting! I’ll have to try it.

You’re right about the never-ending story, even with the pack I found I’ve gone and added a few 😆

Thanks for the info!

Dyskolos,

It’s really just the exactly right amount of mods. Pick the things you want and be done in an hour or so. With auto-updates.

I've been finishing off Assassin's Creed: Odyssey on my Xbox One X. I mostly enjoyed it but many of the RPG mechanics were quite tiresome. I hear Valhalla is even longer, which doesn't bode well. Odyssey was already hitting the upper limit for me and the mechanics were starting to grow stale.

Still, the world was fairly pretty and it had a surprising amount of comedy in it. The fighting mechanics were mostly fun, although the lack of hidden blades and stupid auto-leveling content rather worked against the demi-god power fantasy.

I should probably get my Steam Deck RMA'd so I can play something else, but that requires more mental effort than I can handle right now.

I’m trying to get into shmups. Just playing whatever I can find on sale on Switch. Mostly Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix on loop. I think I might be getting better!

nore, do games w What do you think about random encounters?

Most of the time I don’t mind them, they only get annoying when the battles take longer to finish.

Odyssey was one I really enjoyed, I appreciated the Greek mythology as well.

I really want to get into Origjns though.

I didn’t really enjoy Valhalla though. Some of the systems they had in it didn’t click well with me.

Maultasche, do games w Day -1 of posting a screenshot from a game I've been playing until I also forget to post screenshots

I played it on the Switch and it’s one of my favourite RPGs on the system.

This is a ridiculously good good with insane amounts to do, character development, and story. It’s wild to me how much the original game had and wasn’t DLC or a separate game.

Its odd, because I played the crap out of VIII, but hardly got into Monstrum Nox and am not even sure if I’m getting Nordics when it comes out on Switch. I probably will, but I feel like the series peaked with Dana.

callouscomic,

Spoiler about Monstrum Nox and Lacrimosa of Dana.

Tap for spoilerDana technically shows up in Monstrum Nox, and that game kind of continues alluding to themes from Lacrimosa, depending on your interpretation.

RavenFellBlade,
@RavenFellBlade@startrek.website avatar

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll give it another go. I only got about two or three hours in before I moved onto other items in the backlog.

callouscomic,

I think most Ys games are slow to start and easy to let go of, but if you hang in there, the stories eventually reach a point at least for me that I can’t stop.

johannesvanderwhales,

IX wasn’t nearly as good as VIII, IMO. The movement and combat felt good but the pacing was awful (too Trails-like) and the story and characters were nothing special.
