Berttheduck, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 4th

My wife and I have been playing Vintage Story. We’re really enjoying it. It’s a block survival game ala Minecraft but it’s much nicer to look at and the mechanics are way more in depth.

We’re in our first winter currently and doing things around the house we built at the start of the cold season (so we can stay close to somewhere warm). We’ve just made our first windmill and are building a chicken coop and making our farm look nicer with fences and paths. I’ve just started tanning to make leather using barrels full of borax and tannins (which you get by soaking oak logs in water for a day or so).

It’s also highly customisable with the world gen/ server settings and mods. For example we’ve moved our default spawn to our base and have a mod that sets spawn at beds for when we are off exploring.

It’s in early access but there’s definitely enough game to justify the cost at present.

The first 4 Tomb Raider games on PC/PS1

Digimon World on PS1, made worse by the fact that it’s a tamagotchi roguelite RPG. I never played DW3, but I heard it can easily become a “where the fuck do I go now?” because of obtuse/asshole time sinking designs here and there

Myst.

Riven.

Myst III Exile

caseyweederman,

Hmm. I’m not sure these count.
A) they’re supposed to be mysterious
B) the progression makes sense, even if the key is in one of several burned books on a bookshelf among many other similar keys, or given to you in one of the bad endings.

The information is there, you just have to work for it.

I haven’t played Myst III, that was by a different company, right?

stoy,

Myst III was made by Presto Studios in collaboration with Cyan, it does have a slightly different feel to the other games, but it is not bad

Should’ve been “Until the tariffs are gone, right?”

Any metroid game.

Mount and Blade. Warband is just the better version all around. It works in reverse too cause Warband is better than Bannerlord.

Denjin,

Add Floris and it’s basically the only game in that sphere worth playing at all!

bollybing,

Prophecy of Pendor is legendary. I might get bannerlord if they release a Pendor mod for it.

positiveWHAT,

What do Pendor do so well?

RoboCop on PS5.

Morrowind, but in a good way

I tried, but I just can’t go back and play Oblivion after playing Skyrim with all the quality of life mods. I’m waiting on the Skyblivion release to revisit it.

emb,

I’d say TES as well, but with Oblivion > Morrowind. I had trouble getting used to it being more toward the RPG side than Action. But it’s rewarding if you see it through.

monarch,

I couldn’t ever get into oblivion since skyrim was my first Bethesda game and a lot of oblivion felt like (to me) slightly janky skyrim. I was able to get into morroeind though because it was just so diffrent.

Hugin,

And I’m from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn’t get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.

I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.

lath,

I could and i did. It was great. Sorry you couldn’t find a similar feeling.

Ps: nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh

tonyn,

The loading screens omg

I put hundreds of hours into that game and loved all 15 of them I spent actually playing

dogslayeggs,

I actually did. After waiting 10 years for a new TES game after Skyrim, I got bored and installed Morrowblivion. Played that all the way through. Then I played Oblivion with some visual mods. It was still quite fun, though I didn’t do a full play through. If I hadn’t already done a full play through, then Oblivion would still be an awesome game after playing Skyrim.

SgtAStrawberry,

I managed to play and enjoy Oblivion after Skyrim, but found a brick wall when trying Morrowind.

Cethin,

I agree, but going back to Morrowind is incredibly easy oddly. Oblivion was on the path to Skyrim, but Morrowind is in a totally different position.

prole,

Oblivion’s graphics did not age well, but just about everything else about it was better than Skyrim.

Better quest lines, better setting, better plot (probably, I never really get super far into the main quest of these games)…

positiveWHAT,

Soo, what about the Remaster?!

Why didn’t you include Sony in this image? They increased prices even before Nintendo.

Those games are so expensive because people will pay those prices. There are plenty of cheap games to be had.

Just started playing a simple isometric game called Tunic. It’s cute, and you play as a little button mashing fox creature with a sword in a language that’s gibberish as you find hidden paths in the isometric style. It’s frustrating for being so simplistic, because the hidden paths are hidden. I kinda like it so far tho. Just simple, relaxing, chill music, and cute AF artwork.

EveningPancakes,

Absolutely adored that game! It’s one of those that I wish I could replay without having remembers how I uncovered all the various secrets.

CCAirWater,

It is super, super cute. I started it on a whim and I love that it doesn’t really give ya anything. Like a souls-like game, it’s just ‘figure it out as you go’ but a cute fox and bug creatures.

rustyricotta,

Fantastic game. If you haven’t been already, you can tilt the camera slightly to get a peek at some of the hidden paths.

CCAirWater,

Yeah with the lock on button? When I figured out that holding the dodge button let me sprint, it blew my mind haha

That’s really not how inflation works. We’d somehow need negative inflation, which probably only exists in the nightmares of economists.

zout,

I've heard deflation is the end of the world!

Until the market is unwilling or unable to pay it
