Started playing Starfield and it really made me want to revisit fallout 4, I’m now deep back into a new play through of Fo4 with 22 hours played in the last 2 weeks. Really enjoying it again.

Anyway, another settlement needs my help….

I started Starfield and dropped it after about 3ish hours (happy for you if you liked it, I just couldn’t find anything interesting there), beat Lies of P (could be the best of the non-Bandai soulsbourne games), and just started up The Lamplighters League (a fun X-com style game that’s good, but REALLY poorly optimized, so buyer beware).

Looking forward to Spider-man 2 though, only a few more weeks!

Oo I really wanna get lies of p I saw it on the front page of steam and it looks awesome

TheOgreChef,

It’s a ton of fun, and I hope you check it out! As an fyi on the combat, it is very perfect block centric like Seikiro, which I know is not everyone’s favorite Fromsoft game. I think the demo that’s out there gives you a pretty substantial preview though, so feel free to judge for yourself :)

I will probably check it out probably look into it at the Christmas sale

Titanfall 2 with friends, War Thunder, Cyberpunk 2077 and Middle Earth: Shadow of War on my own.

And of course, my go-to when I don’t know what to do, which is Hearts of Iron IV. I’m excited about the new DLC, btw.

Diablo 3 caught my attention again recently with the new and probably last season. Pretty mindless most of the time but it’s therapeutic in a way

fell back into The Division 2 and started Vermintide 2. always playing Diablo 2. playing Baldur’s Gate with a friend once a week. trying to get myself to go back to ARMORED CORE, but i just keep getting my buns handed back to me XD

have been meaning to get into baldurs gate! I’ve got 4 other friends that I played DnD with a while back and it was hilarious. from what I’ve seen of it BG3 would be amazing to play as a group

dbtonez,

i’d highly recommend it. it’s still a lot of fun solo, but playing it with my friend has been a treat. sometimes we make a decision for the laughs, other times we get into semi-serious debates about what to do, where to go… and it’s fun seeing how different our co-op playthrough is from our solo playthroughs.

no man’s sky VR lately! I love the feeling of flying in starships and the seamless transitions between planets and space! wish it had some form of starship racing.

GT7 mainly running Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. There is a race there this weekend and it makes me feel slightly better when I see pro drivers mess up the same corner I do.

Stillhart,

Forza Motorsport comes out… today? Looking forward to that myself!

argo_yamato,

I might check that one out, haven’t played a Forza game in years. The screenshots I saw had an IMSA GTP car so that might be enough for me to buy it this time around (on PC).

tigeruppercut, do gaming w What unusual genre mixing video games would you recommend to try?

There’s a 2011 game called Before the Echo (previously called Sequence before the board game maker decided to get pissy about it) that’s a basic rhythm game but you play on a screen with three boards where rhythm arrows drop, and you have to manage swapping between all of them. One board you clear arrows to prevent enemy damage, one generates mana for you, and the third is where you cast spells (that do damage, heal you, etc). There are a few different items you can get and there’s some light crafting/leveling systems as well.

As someone who doesn’t usually play rhythm games (largely because I’m bad at them) it was pretty fun. The story is amusing as well, and the main critique I had was that it’s very slightly on the grindy side and there aren’t enough songs to support it, so you start hearing the same ones over and over. The music is decent but it can get a bit old.

ICEY might be a good one to check out. It mixes cynical untrostworthy narration (like from the Stanley parable) with a 2D side scrolling hack and slash. some people say it doesn’t quite measure up on both fronts, but I enjoyed it. it has a nice art style too

Doublepluskirk, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 8th

Baldur’s Gate (in act 3 now), Lies of P, and just dipped my toe into Warhammer 40k Darktide. It’s quite nice having very different games to bounce between.

I’ve got Cocoon waiting a well. I heard it’s quite short so maybe I’ll boot it up on an evening where Lies of P is kicking my arse too much lol

frog, do gaming w The gaming industry needs to become more like holywood

Absolutely agreed. I think because the gaming industry is relatively new, it lags behind other sectors on unionisation, and that is definitely something that should change. Not necessarily to emulate Hollywood, but unionisation definitely.

There needs to be a tech-workers’ union. (Not just for gaming.)

frog,

Yeah, that would be ideal. Although whether game artists would be best fitted to a tech workers union or an artists union (which does exist in some places) is a question that would need to be answered.

PlayStation Access have some really nice let’s plays. The Skyrim Christmas special is amazing!

Loading Ready Run streams a lot of stuff. And you might like the dessert bus for hope fundraiser happening in November.

Rekhyt,

Specifically I would say the following streams fit the bill:

  • Let’s Nope (horror)
  • Let’s Watch (Steam garbage)
  • Rhythm Cafe (rhythm games)
  • Talking Simulator (hard to describe)

    I mean… if they’re asking for advice about a gaming rig, the gaming community seems like a pretty relevant place to ask.

    We have shoddy repair places here in the US too, but that’s no reason to make people to hunt for some region-specific community for their hardware questions.

    cujo,
    @cujo@sh.itjust.works avatar

    The down votes are because you suggested that Gaming is not the correct community to ask about Gaming hardware, and it’s hardly a barrage. There’s nothing wrong with the advice you’re giving, especially since you seem to have regionally appropriate knowledge that many others don’t have. This is still the appropriate place to ask their question. Likely it’s because, whether you intended for it to be so or not, your opening statement comes across… abrasive.

    Much better! Less aggressive. Your initial comment had a sense of reprimanding the OP for not posting in the “right place,” and I’m certain you didn’t mean to come off that way, just that you thought they might get a better, more specific answer from a more specific community, is that right?

    I appreciate the civility and willingness to discuss. :)
