Baldur’s Gate consumed a bunch of my time, but I’ve had on hold for a bit. Got obsessed with Armored Core 6 which has been a ton of fun. Bit biased though, played AC series growing up, big Fromsoft fan in general.
Most recently been hitting that Mario World Wonder on switch for quick casual time kill, then Predecessor on PC for scratching competitive PVP itch. Got so tense playing it the other day I managed to tweak a muscle somehow 😂
I think there’s a distinction - I would consider an “update” with new content to be something minor (such as BG3’s recent epilogue content). “Free DLC” to me is a much more hefty addition, such as the Godmaster DLC for Hollow Knight.
(Disclaimer: I’ve not watched this trailer since I’m at work)
The Witcher 3 had 16 free dlc packs after release. I have no idea what they were or their distinction. Was definitely a marketing term for content updates that they can’t sell because the content is so miniscule.
That’s a fair point. Maybe it comes down to “is this something that you expect should have been in the game to begin with, or is it something extra that the Devs have added over and beyond?”.
Definitely a very broad term to the point of near-meaninglessness though.
After many years, knowing all too well that it’s the kind of game that would have driven me crazy, I started Factorio. I am indeed struggling not to have it swallow my life whole.
I’ve actually started playing Genshin Impact, and it surprised me how fun it is! And it’s nice to be able to play on the phone when travelling/sitting in the sofa, and then hop on the PC when the kids and wife has gone to bed.
I can see myself getting burned out in a few weeks as well. But so far the combat is really fun, and the stories are interesting enough to keep me playing.
Got a new gaming notebook. Still trying it out, but I already bought Cyberpunk 2077, but only loaded for ~30 minutes for now. But I guess, that’ll be what I will play the coming weeks.
Finally got No Man’s Sky on sale. It’s even better than I thought it would be. 7 years later and the game is super fun and has a ton of things to do. I hear they’re still updating it so I can’t wait for what comes next.
Couldn’t sleep in the wee hours of the night, so I went “f*ck it” and downloaded Tetris on my phone. I really only like playing marathon mode, but I found myself enjoying the stages in the game as well.
Certain actions like rotating and hard drop or soft dropping pieces translate surprisingly well into swipe amd drag motions on the app.
Been playing Disney Starlight Valley. Idk why but it’s pretty fun. Maybe because it’s familiar, and grindy. The mood is always light and non stressful. We did notice that pocahontas is not in the game. Apparently she’s too much of a PR liability maybe?
Otherwise I was binging hard on Grand Turismo 7. It was pretty well done.
Throwback last week was Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Friend was playing it so I joined back in.
