Baldur’s Gate 3. And when I’m finally through it, I’m going to start Wrath of the Righteous. My sister’s had it for a while and I only recently saw what it was about and I have to play it.

forgotaboutlaye,

BG3 for me as well. I'm just a handful of hours into Act 2 after spending 20+hrs in Act 1. So far, I preferred the less dreary scenery of Act 1, but still enjoying the way the story is going. Can't express enough how blown away I've been by this game so far. I haven't been so hooked on an RPG since Witcher 3.

I play Baldur's Gate 3, too. But I don't know what I'm doing... I found out I lost Laezel somewhere.. I don't even remember where and thought it was just a tutorial... I'm too weak to fight Nere and cannot move on in the main quest, because "it's too dangerous" and I don't know where to go to get stronger. I'm wandering along the old areas and try to find out what to do.

I’m so strong, I haven’t even had to fight Nere; both times I reached that part, motherfucker was already dead somehow. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m guessing you lost Lae’zel after the nautiloid crashed? You need to explore the map a little more. She isn’t too far from where you’d find Gale; but apparently, something like 70% of players miss Gale, too. Which is crazy since they’re like 10 feet from the crash site up north.

DarylDutch,

I missed Gale since the description of the portal said it felt dangerous. Only returned 3 levels later thinking there was a challenge.

This is why I save before doing anything. Some of the game overs you can get are hilarious. I got turned into a wedge of cheese once!

TipRing,

I ended up fighting Nere really early before finishing most of Act 1 and reloaded that fight just so many times before finally winning with some creative strategies.

Playing through the Quake 2 Remaster with a nostalgic feeling. Now, having kids, I realize that I should not have had access to that at 13 yo. Distribution channels were different in 1997.

Damn right you shouldn’t have had access to the Quake 2 remaster in 1997. Time travel violates the laws of established physics.

Just started but, man, i love that vibe of adventurer going to fight vigilante who is totally not my own brother by kicking asses of city guardians.

After reading a book on Roman emperors I started playing Rome 2. Because of the problematic launch I never progressed far in the campaign. It seems the game was properly patched as I’m having a blast now.

I always enjoyed Rome TW, but it lacks some core game mechanics that Rome 2 does way better: political scheming, civil war, provinces, garrison, … I also loathed the anachronistic representation of certain cultures in Rome TW.

In short: even if it’s already 10 years old, I can’t recommend the game enough, certainly when you are a romanophile!

With the Divide et Impera mod, I think it's the best historic TW game. Especially if you're in to Roman history and like realism.

Djennik,

Thx for the tip. What does this mod do?

Pottsunami, do games w Madden should not be 70$

The only sports game worth buying is nba 2k. The graphics are way better. The franchise mode is a million times better. There is less glitches. Stop buying madden. Tell the NFL you dont want EA anymore

KickAssDuke,

*Wii Sports has entered the chat

Delusional,

I also enjoy FIFA. Certainly wouldn’t buy it full price but $5-$10 is worth it.

You know a game is going to be good when half the industry cries and shits its pants and begs not to be held to its standard.

Isn’t that basically “The Forest”?

If combat interaction is secondary to kills per second in your design specc, no numbers game can fix it. PoE designers and players seem to fear "slowness’.

That paper lantern monster design feels familiar. I’m wondering if I’ve seen that asset somewhere else…

Your formatting has really improved, looks great and is easy to read. A lovely addition to Lemmy.

Got this for Christmas in 1997 and it blew my mind. Had an NES with super mario bros, and had never heard of an N64 before we got it, and the leap was just staggering at the time. Went to bed dreaming of mario kart lol

telllos,

When the N64 was announced, I spent months reading about the console and games to come out at launch. Ssved a lot of money and pre ordered my N64.

I made a list of the game to buy with the console for my dad, who was to pick it up on launch day.

He came back that evening with my brand new N64. But no games. They were all sold out!

I had to wait a week until they got any back in stock.

The pain!

Flamangoman,

Damn, tough luck! What were the first games that you got? Did the n64 rock your world or what?

telllos,

Yeah, it was mind blowing! The first game I got was Mario 64. It was amzing, real 3D.

Then I remember, pilotwing, mario kart, golden eye and wave race.

I worked with the RetroDeck and underlying EmulationStation devs on a bug and they were incredibly cool and welcoming. I didn’t really have time to start taking on other tickets, but their documentation and availability made it easy to find the problem, get a workaround, and submit a fix.

I know Lazorne is on here, so I have no doubt this comment will make them smile!!!

Saving this post to read in the evening! (Working atm). Do you do this every week/ month?

I wonder whether it’s worth to get the Steam Deck (PC games + Emulation). However also debating about the Switch 1 (or 2). Just don’t know how to do the mod-chip (and if it will be available on the 2).

PerfectDark, (edited )
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Well, you’ve got a lot of options!

Since getting my Steam Deck, I sold my Switch collection, since (for the most part), emulating Switch games are a breeze. Theres obviously ones which perform poorly, but the vast, vast majority run so well!

You can always get the original launch model of Switch - you can jailbreak it with a little ‘jig’ and its the easiest thing in the world. No mod chip required. There’s even tablet-only ones, even OLEDs on aliexp if you want to have someone do they hard work for you, too!

The Steam Deck is incredibly hard to beat - Steam games, GOG, Epic and Amazon games. Emulation. Its a lot of gaming :)

(And as to frequency posting these? Lately, every 3 or 4 days!!!)

ModernRisk,

Thanks for the response!

You are right that the Steam Deck is hard to beat due to availability of games, platform and emulation (though considering the instance I’m in, I’ll acquire games a different way).

I’m uncertain due to the fact there’s a lot of uncertainty about the emulation of the Switch 2 games.

Tried getting the original switch but, I’m a sucker for OLED screen (if I can afford it, I want it hah).

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I’m a sucker for OLED screen

R.E. the OLED, you can write me on Matrix if you’re there (or join the Revolt server!) and I can help you with a pointer for it!!!
