I initially started Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered a few days ago, but I wasn’t really in the mood for that game, so I ended up going back to The Witcher 3 to start (and hopefully finish) both DLCs (I’m part way through Heart of Stone atm and have yet to start Blood and Wine).

As for feedback, although weekly might perhaps be too often, maybe a “Show us your collection / show us your setup” kind of thread? This could generate some engagement and lead to interesting discussions imo.

chloyster,

Omg thank you for answering the second part of the question 😆. I think I’ll make another post highlighting this question as it clearly wasn’t looked at super closely, but your suggestion is great! I’ll add it to my list :)

Restarted the Demon’s Souls PS5 remake. It’s going much better than my previous attempts. Not quite back to where I was last time but got there aot faster.

Right now I’m waiting on the new PoE league as well as the GW2 expansion. For now it’s either a MUD, The first Skyrim save I’ve kept long enough to complete the main quest, or Yakuza: Like a dragon.

It really just depends on mood and if anyone else is active on the MUD.

I’m glad to have finally found a Skyrim build I enjoy. I’ve always appreciated the game but never managed to stick with it. This Illusion/Thief/Assassin combo is a great time. Calm + backstab for life.

Yakuza is a delight. It’s a lot like FfXIV in that it’s a pretty fun movie that is sometimes interrupted by RPG game play elements. Loving the humor.

Currently playing Nier: Automata. It’s incredibly hard to talk to people about this game without spoilers. It’s all about the story, but the gameplay is pretty good too.

any1th3r3,

IKR! You do want to recommend the game and talk about it, but you can’t really do so without spoiling it for other people… SkillUp’s review was pretty good in that regard IMO.

You’re paying for your privacy. Also, a copy of a game or a movie is not a service.

I’m excited for starfield so I started playing through Fallout 76 to scratch the bethesda itch which led to me starting fallout 4 again, which led to me staring new vegas again too, and then committed to finally 100% achievements for Fallout 3 after all these years.

sandriver,

Have you ever tried Daggerfall? It’s really cool seeing how much influence it’s had on so many different games.

kd637_mi,

You should check out fallout 1 and 2 while you’re on a fallout kick, I played them for the first time after playing the Bethesda games and they have become my favourites in the series

BowtiesAreCool,

I’ve tried but the turn based combat is so hard for me to get used to and enjoy. If I could just skip combat encounters to get all the story I totally would

kd637_mi,

Hmm that’s fair, I prefer turn based combat but it isn’t for everyone.

fox, do gaming w Backwards compatibility is the best feature of Xbox, and I don't understand why Sony is so far behind on this

I wish Jet Set Radio Future was able to work on the new Xbox.

Many suspect this one has been trapped in licensing hell.

I bought Disco Elysium during the Steam Summer Sale. I'm only on the second "day" (in game time). It's OK. There's lots of attention to art and fleshing out the NPCs. I'm not blown away yet, though.

ISOmorph,

I honestly didn’t like it. There just isn’t a lot of game in that interactive book.

I love Disco Elysium but I’d never try to sell someone on it by saying it’s a CRPG. It’s literally an interactive novel, and it’s really only rewarding if you want that and approach it as such.

It rewards you for being weird and wacky, for failing checks and for clicking every dialogue option (as opposed to thinking certain ones are “traps”).

It’s a weird product that claims to be a CRPG detective game about a murder case, when in the end it’s really neither.

HidingCat,

I do really like it, it's a very interesting world and the variety of characters are so fun to interact with.

Back on the old Bloodborne. I meant to finish it years ago, but ran out of time with exams so restarted just there with a brand new save. Loving it so far although I'm not too far into it.

UnfortunateTwist,

What build are you going for? I keep gravitating towards Skill because I love doing visceral attacks.

@Eavolution@kbin.social avatar

I've always done the souls games with a quality build for my first playthrough, not sure why but thats what I'm doing again.

I enjoyed a dark room

sceeba, do gaming w Ace Combat is great

The romanticism of flight, chivalry of air combat, and the sincere humanity throughout the series is what made me a fan many years ago.

AlexWIWA,

Anime Sky Knights is my favorite way to describe the series. It plays almost how someone would describe a knight in a song.

aperson, do gaming w What incremental games do you enjoy?

Stone story has been great fun.

HowlsSophie, do gaming w What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?

Frostpunk. OMG never have I played a game like this. It was emotionally exhausting and I didn’t realize it until I finished the first scenario. I was like if been holding my breath for a few weeks and was finally able to let it out. Started a second scenario and I honestly don’t think I can do it again. I loved it but WOW.

TUNIC was such a fun lil gem. So many smiles when you see the all the cheeky shit the devs pull off at every corner.

TotK just blows your mind in what you can do.

But come on… FFXVI has so much spectacle. And Soken’s soundtrack is just too hype. Games aren’t just about gameplay, or we would’ve never had No More Heroes 2. Such big, grandiose moments that you just can’t help but remember. Of course, it has so much boring tedium too, which I suspect are there to really make those huge, epic moments stand out even more.

hi fi rush hands down. particularly one cut scene which has the literally coolest transformation I’ve experienced in a game : youtu.be/cU5utimmtkg?t=96
