Playing a buncha old-but-gold games:

I was never one for Skyrim, the jank was just too much to get immersed and the graphics too low end to be impressed. 450 mods later, I‘m fully immersed and impressed (runs better (fact) and looks better (subjective) than Starfield now IMO) and playing the heck out of it.

On the go, Hollow Knight has at last pulled me in on Switch. Finally finding the dash and wall climb abilities made the game a blast. Mario 3D World helps to counterweight Hollow Knight‘s melancholy.

wax,

Any mod packs or whatever to recommend? Played it once when it came out using a sneak + bow build (didn’t know it was OP when I started though). Haven’t checked out rhe DLC or anything, so I want to revisit it once I upgrade my potato rig later this year

caut_R, (edited )

I took the „facelift“ collection as a basis a long, long time ago but added a lot of mods myself and I‘m not sure how many - if any at all - mods of this collection are left by now.

(I mean „left“ as in „still left in my own mod setup“)

Finally got 2077 running on Linux, now waiting for Phantom Liberty and CET update to get all my mods working ;) Need to build on those 500 hours.

Also, I started Greedfall. Lots of running around but so far it’s solid.

Oh man, I had such a great time with Greedfall a couple of years ago. It has a lot of jank, but you can see the heart beneath it all and I really enjoyed the world building. The fact they consulted with linguists for their invented language and created a custom accent they made sure all the VAs for natives use was a great touch.

It’s not a AAA game, but if you take it for what it is you can have a great time. I’m really looking forward to the sequel.

Counterstrike 2 is going to be released on Wednesday. Cs2 will be the new benchmark in skill based fps games and you can get from day one.

I’m in the beta so I’ve already been enjoying the premier matchmaking system and the glorious new smoke grenades.

Metro Last Light, Lies of P and RDR2. Mid, fast and slow paced games lol.

For me, it’s been Last Epoch which is an ARPG. It’s been doing a fantastic job of scratching the itch that Diablo 4 just failed to do.

I finally made it past the campaign and am in the endgame (as far as I understand), and I’ve had a good time trying to come up and play with various builds on my Runemaster character!

Also, American Truck Simulator for when I just want to turn my brain off and relax.

Cyberpunk baby!!! Spent 100 hours before the update, time to spent 100+ more again with the new content!!

I’m still playing the hell outta Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve played through so many times, have multiple multiplayer campaigns going on, and I’m just having a lot of fun with mods.

I about 120 hours paly time and still on Act 1 in Baldur's Gate 3. I have a problem. I want to pick up everything and sell it. That takes a lot of time. I also switch my party around all the time to try to work companions quests

I think most people pick a group and stick with that group. Also most people don't need to pick up a fork and sell it. I may have to change my play style it i want to finish the game anytime soon.

Oh and I am loving this game. It plays very well with my Ubuntu/Nvidia/Steam PC.

Thehalfjew,

I have a similar thing, but I got over it by committing to robbing every vendor of everything they have. Then there’s no one to buy the stupid fork.

Also still playing but still on the first play through. Such a good game. I didn’t try any mods yet. Are there any you can recommend?

The Improved UI mods are definitely nice. Better Containers too. Uncomplicated mods that improve general usability. I also like the Pretty Font Project.

Achievement Enabler, the Mod Fixer, and the Native Mod Loader are all also helpful, though I’m not entirely sure they are needed for the UI mods, though it doesn’t hurt to have them. The Achievement Enabler allows you to still earn achievements with mods if that wasn’t obvious, and the native mod loader allows the game to load the achievement enabler.

Beyond that, I’d recommend just looking around on Nexus. There are thousands to look through, ranging from improving classes and races to adding spells to straight up making you a god.

I just finished rift apart. Definitely my fave games in the series after the original trilogy. I think it might be the best looking game I ever played and the dimension swapping is seriously impressive.

I’m currently on Hogwarts Legacy. About 7 hours in and it’s not too bad. More RPG elements and a bigger world than expected. Also looks amazing but I can’t make too much of an opinion on it just yet.

Gamerman153,

If you’re not playing Hogwarts on hard difficulty it’s about to get stupidly easy. Never actually finished it due to this.

In my case I’m finishing Sea of Stars, a very good old-school RPG. You get 22h+ of main story in easy mode, I think it is worth the price.

I finished that one up last week and loved it! Might be my GotY, honestly.

fishy195,

I’m looking forward to getting into it. It looks so good! Loved the demo

Borderlands. Always thought it was an arcade/retro shooter, turns out it’s an rpg. It was exactly what I was looking for. Although I don’t really understand why some of my shots miss

Noita, kind of. It’s daunting knowing how much there’s to the game and I seldomly get past the first level

Wooki,

Great game I could never get past the bad generated items and associated stats. The effect it had on boss item drops reducing the value of them so much it became little reward to me.

I’ve put a few hours into Payday 3 so far, a shame it’s servers got the hug of death. It has one of the most developed stealth systems I’ve seen in any game. Core mechanics wise it’s definitely a worthy sequel to Payday 2.

RE1 HD remake (had played only about half of the GC one)

Such a wonderful game. For someone like me who grew up with the original, probably the best remake ever made. It’s the same, but so much better.

Oh, and Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth 2. Possibly still the best RTS ever made. Change my mind.

Well… engine is free, as in freedom. What happens with could not happen with Godot. You could even contributeurs to make it better. But, it s not the best engine… It s not as convenient, etc. Then you make your choice and can t complain (same as vs chrome)

Is their trust broken forever or

Yes.

is there any chance for redemption?

No.


Anyone that trusts unity after this will get exactly what they deserve next time greed make unity put thier privates in a vice to squeeze out more profit with unreasonable terms then half backpeddle to less insane but still obviously unpopular changes.
