I just finished Spider-Man Miles Morales. So I’m gonna be starting Spider-Man 2 soon.

Had fun watching the Halo: CE coop, Tunic (my absolute favorite game), BL2, Undertale, and the RE:4 run was really impressive.

Just found out that Cocoon was also included, so I’m watching that now.

Loved this AGDQ!

Elden Ring getting ready for the DLC.

I have a lvl 1 char that I’ve beaten about 90% of the game with, gathered most of the items and spells that’s taken me about 7 months to get this far.

The plan is to beat everything but the last fight as lvl 1 so I can build to whatever is needed.

Couldn't you also just save a respec item to burn whenever the DLC drops?

Moira_Mayhem,

Respeccing doesn’t drop your level and I’m hoping with all the returners and new players the DLC brings that I can sunbro low level content like Stormveil and the early caves again.

After my fill of that I’ll level up to whatever content the DLC is geared to.

Plus this will give me a lvl 1 backup with most gear and spells for build testing.

Dave the Diver! It looks so goofy but give it a shot. It’s got hilarious cutscenes, and a really well executed blend of roguelike, restaurant game, resource management, and story RPG.

Picked up Palworld and started it today. It is pretty fun and, as long as they patch it and support it, it could be a fantastic time waster.

About 40% through Hogwarts Legacy at the moment. It’s been great so far, very impressive especially coming from the old HP games on PC. Fixed up some performance issues with the Ascendio mod, and all works fairly well on my (ancient, circa 2014) rig.

You are fully justified to put your own developed stuff where youwant to.
On this one point I side with Ubisoft.

TwilightVulpine,

Yeah, this particular argument goes back around to validating Ubisoft

A_Very_Big_Fan,

The problem isn’t that Ubisoft is using their own launcher, it’s that their launcher blows ass

Wrench,

On their own game engine.

Built to showcase their specific VR hardware. That they built after getting burned from multiple VR companies who abused Valves good will of providing access to their patent protected VR tech for free, to help accelerate the VR industry.

I'm currently playing V Rising with a friend on a private server. I like survival games but I hate PvP, raiding and griefers. So far it's pretty good fun! Like a mix between a Diablo-like ARPG and something like Valheim. You don't need to grind resources so much, you collect plenty just playing. The focus is more on combat. Some bosses are pretty tough and progress is gated behind them.

The Resident Evil 2: Remake no-hit attempt was my favorite run of the event. Carcy brought mad energy and mad skills.

All the other runs mentioned here were great too

Currently into Triangle Strategy’s New Game+. I’m enjoying that game way more than I thought I would. It’s a fun, charming successor to the strategy JRPG. It has few tropes and the mechanics have been streamlined while maintaining challenge. Surprisingly low magic as well. I mean there are plenty of magic users, but no monster, no supernatural armageddon and the end game is not “kill god”. It does have that peculiar JPRG theatricality, so you need to be fine with that.

Genuine curiosity, why does it matter which platform it comes out on? Asking from a comlnsole-only point of view. I only game on PS5, so I’ll never get to play Xbox-only games. But if you’re on a PC, you can just get the other platform?

wildcardology,

Too many launchers nowadays. It’s becoming like movies and tv streaming services.

MaximilianKohler,

It’s inconvenient for sure, but monopolies are worse.

Kedly,

Steams competition is worse than a steam monopoly. Im not giving Ubi or EA or Epic money for their shitty ass store fronts and anti consumer bullshit

Pwnmode,

Those companies have changed their own launcher so many times as well that it doesn’t give me any hope that they will continue to exist or continue to let me borrow the games I bought from them.

From the last time I had to use EA’s launcher, I still couldn’t easily pick an install location. It’s incredible how shitty it is.

TwilightVulpine,

People say that theoretically but not only Steam doesn’t stop anyone from selling in other places, it delivers better services than any other platform (except maybe GOG that has the big benefit of being DRM-free)

The Steam “monopoly” ends up being less detrimental than the “competition” of locking each game to a different platform.

wildginger,

If it was only on their launcher I wouldnt care. Its the little exclusivity deal on epic that annoys me.

Its one thing to only sell your stuff on your own personal store. Thats fine, whatever. But to create fake exclusivity on pc? Nah fuck off dude, especially from ubisoft

potustheplant,

It’s “exclusive” on a different free platform that doesn’t have any extra requirements. Sure, it’s worse than steam in some ways but choosing not to play the game because it’s only on Epic is pretty dumb, honestly.

wildginger,

Choosing not to use epic branded things because of the companies pretty nasty decisions and financial backers is completely justified. The world is not always about getting things for free.

I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for the last few weeks and somewhere Warframe here and there when I don’t have enough time to get list with BG3.

Still mainly Diablo 4, but a lot less this week. I finished my seasonal goals faster than I thought, and have been slowly mopping up some of the stuff that's season independent. I filled out the map, found the Altars (3/4 by myself the rest with a guide), and also did all the dungeons to unlock the legendary aspects, but I guess those reset, and you have to do them again in the new season (or just the ones you're interested in).

Then I also did more Soulstone Survivors runs. So far I've been mainly playing as the default class, the barbarian, and unlocking everything for him. There's so much stuff, and then do a lot more for all the other classes as well. It's fun, though still lacks a bit of variety, mainly in the levels.
