I continue to feed my X4 addiction. Picked up the DLC during the Thanksgiving sale. I’m on my second play, about 35 hours in. Realized I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but that’s half the fun.
World of Warships. Started jumping back into that recently. I dunno why but it’s weirdly peaceful and relaxing for me to play. Might be because I grew up sailing on the ocean due to living on an island.
I do have Alan Wake 2 that I really need to play but I’m also playing Control and Alan Wake 1 at the same time to prepare for AW2. It’s… a lot. But Control I’ve played a half dozen times and will always love. Alan Wake 1 I’ve never actually played but after learning of the shared world in Control I have been meaning to get around to it. Enjoyable so far but I’m barely into it.
Then there’s also God of War Valhalla on the side. Always fun as fuck. Free DLC too. What’s not to love?
I absolutely hate DLC that integrates with the main game and gives you OP weapons.
There was one game that the DLC gives you the second best weapon at the start, as a thank you for preordering. But I didn’t preorder, I bought the ultimate edition. So wtf.
I find the DLCs / preorder bonuses that give you really powerful weapons at the beginning of a game just… bizarre? Like, okay, thank you for the thing that completely ruins the progression?
That’s a small backlog. Do you have more not listed?
I have a bunch categorized by whether or not I want to do the achievements or not before considering it done, and also if multiple playthroughs are planned or not and why.
i’ve 100% a few games but you’re on a totally different level. i really struggle with dark soul like games so it will be interesting to see how far i get before i eventually give up.
I find it’s more about patience than anything else. It’s very much an observe the pattern and adjust accordingly kind of gameplay. Also resource (stamina/health) management. I actually couldn’t finish any of them until I had gotten dragged into fighting games by friends that play competitively. Seeing that people could actually adjust their actions on the fly at such ridiculous speeds made me realize I was just button mashing all along. It’s also what made some of the more technical metroidvania games make sense to me.
My achievement showcase was just me going insane while having nothing better to do when I was off work with an injury though…
Wait, really? I never had that issue personally. I just kept forgetting to check my surroundings. I’d targetfocus and then forget that there was either other enemies heading straight for me or wouldn’t check the map and would crash into an ally.
For MGSV if you haven’t cheated yet I suggest it just for the money at least. Download a cheat table and run cheat engine. I don’t like the base building parts of games so I just blew through that by giving myself all the money.
That way I can just do the mission parts of the game without caring what is going on at mother base.
i’ll keep my save cheat free until i decide if the building is working for me or not. if not i’ll consider useing a cheat. when i played last i don’t remember getting to mother base. i think i got to the first objective and stopped playing iirc.
I only have a few hours a week to play so I like to make the most of my time by playing the fun parts. If a game is single player then cheating let’s me enjoy the little time I have to play it without grinding.
