I just got the jingle jam collection and started playing Godfall. Straight forward smack-em-with-a-sword game but lots of fun so far. Kinda reminds me of kingdoms of amalur. Hoping to try out a few more games from the collection as well as I’ve heard good things about quite a few of them.

Warcraft 2 was a blast. Not quite the same, but there's OpenRA for your Red Alert needs.

2 things

  • Resident Evil HD Remaster

    • I followed a guide, and finally got my infinite rocket launcher around 2 hour 41 mins!
    • Skipped all the cutscenes, got the bad ending, I have no idea what’s happening in the game, and somewhat learned some speed running moves (e.g. stair skating and kiting).
    • I’m excited to finally playing the game properly (with rocket launcher) in the future, both Chris and Jill scenarios.
    • There’s quite a lot of work involved, I used the IGN video walkthrough, spliced the video into like 13 parts for 13 saves, then just redo those parts until I feel like I’ve finished the section without losing too much time
  • Final Fantasy 7

    • I’m replaying it again, the last time I finished this game must be at least a decade ago.
    • It’s still my favorite mainline FF, I still love the Materia system and how you can chain them together. The combat is still very speedy, especially compared to FF9, the characters and story still hold up. You can definitely see Shinra Corp existing in our society right now.
    • I’m also surprised at the parts I’ve missed. After the temple morphed into the black materia, did Cloud shove Aeris to the ground and punch her repeatedly? I was shocked at that scene, didn’t realize what was happening when I was younger.
    • With knowledge about what’s happening with Crisis Core and FF7 Remake in hand, now I could definitely understand some of those scenes, the voices Cloud is hearing, etc.
    • I’m playing the PS4 remaster / re-release. Liking the QoL features (fast forward, battle assist), but there’s still an unfixed bug where the music would just stop playing.

I'm not really sure why you chose to play RE that way, but hopefully you're enjoying it, at least.

I know it’s really weird. I don’t like ammo scarcity in games but really love how the weapons feel in RE games.

I generally don’t play horror games, or watch horror movies. Except for a handful, and mostly it’s not because of the survival or horror part.

Just finished Chants of Sennar. Decryption game with puzzles and light sneak bringing people of a babel like tower to speak to each other again :) I’m always in a weird indecision for what to play after I finish a game…

Thinking about subscribing to the pc gamepass to play Lies of P.

Dave the Diver & Factorio

Those two are the main drivers and the below are games I slot in once I feel like it’s becoming a grind

Vampire Survivors, XCOM: Chimera Squad, and Portals 2

I’m thinking something like AC: Syndicate or Metal Gear might also work as a change of pace. Anyone playing longer form narrative games on the Steam Deck?

GTA IV. I had started playing around August but had to leave it because of Uni. Just remembered that I had it downloaded now that I’ve finished this semester.

Also the monthly Ridge Racer Type 4 / wipEout 2097 replay

Fredol, do games w Whats with the sudden indie output from South Korea?

Those are fake indie games. They re-create the indie aesthethic to appeal to ethical consumers.

Dave the diver is not indie because it’s published by Nexon.

Lies of P is made by a previously unsuccessful company, but it’s also not indie. They made a lot of games in the past like Battlefield Online

delitomatoes,

Interesting, I guess the market for games as service or big games is not so profitable now, it would be like if Disney funded a small movie.

Katana314, do games w 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements

I’ve got a GTX 1070; I found the new Robocop game to look really cool, but the demo didn’t run so well for me.

The funny thing is, I would’ve believed that this card would’ve been too old years ago, but most games I still buy don’t need anything beyond what it provides. I enjoy visual appeal, but I don’t often play my games to count the pixels and inspect individual hairs on eyelids. The graphical plateau is real.

Official Blizzard, idk if you’ve played just the original basegame or the Brood War expansion. There is Starcraft Remastered, which has updated graphics and usability improvements but doesn’t add much other than that over the original.

An open source Brood War engine seems to exist but development appears to have stalled.

For SC2 the coop missions and the custom games are imo the most fun to be had in that game.

In terms of RTS genre, BAR is an epic scale free and open source RTS that feels like a distant cousin, but doesn’t have the deep lore that Starcraft has yet.

I’d also recently caught word from a fellow Lemming about a new game in development called Stormgate, worked on by some ex-SC/WC devs under a new studio. Gameplay has a very similar look to the former two.

sparky678348,

BAR is a fun game and I love any attempts to revive this dying genre

That stormgate looks promising! BAR is mentioned and bookmarkd.

i was already too old to even bother trying.
What? You mean it as having less game time?

Yes, that and blizzards enshittification was well underway so i just skipped on it.

I just finished my second ever playthrough of the original goldsrc Half-Life. It gets all the love it deserves. So few games craft an atmosphere of horrific mystery like that game, and I love the payoff of that tension. I know Xen gets hate for being rushed and the levels being chaotic, but I like that. EVERYTHING about Xen feels alien and terrifying. Then when you find out more about the alien society it turns the entire “invasion” on its head. What a great fuckin game.

I think now is as good a time as any to finally finish (after restarting) Half-Life: Alyx

I've been working through my first playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 - it's fairly enjoyable, I'm glad I ignored it outright until well after big patches rolled out. There's something very satisfying about blowing up enemies through a camera.

I've also picked up Dwarf Fortress (Steam) for the first time. It has a lot of depth but has been fun to learn and try and figure out. I just flooded a section of my fortress by digging into an underground river.

My chill-out puzzle game has been Can of Wormholes and it's pretty fun! It's weird for sure... but definitely fun.

I grabbed "Total War: Warhammer" in the steam sale last week. I'm about 35 turns in trying to wipe the greenskin scum from my ancestral dwarven lands. I like it so far! I've never played any other Total War games.

Diablo 2 Resurrected. Rolling a new character as Sony decided I needed to pay for online access to play my other character.

Fuck that. I only do single player. I'll just make a new one!
