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.
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.
My guy, I have 6 meme communities under my belt. I’m not controlling anything serious. Also comparing me to Stalin is a bit insane considering the worst I could do is ban someone. Moreover, I actively look for others to work with and do not like being a moderator. I do it because no one else does but it’s stressful and I would very much rather just post shit.
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.
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.
Lies of P is a solid game! It really clicked for me after the 4th main boss. Heavy, slow weapons seems to be more useful in a second playthrough, and I’m finding some NG+ fights easier than the original NG fights.
Aside from that, I’ve been playing M&B Bannerlord with lots of mods. Not an amazing game, per se, but still very nostalgic for me.
I didn’t know it was released on Mac at all! I hope you enjoy it if you pick it up. The game gets pretty hard, but if you are willing to learn the boss patterns it’s a ton of fun.
Diablo 4: Season 2 - Completed the Season Journey thanks to some nice randoms hanging out outside of Duriel's dungeon. That is one thing that I do like about playing D4, there's always someone hanging around somewhere to help you out. And if the end of the first two seasons are anything to go by, I'll definitely be needing those someones towards the end of every season.
Diablo 3: Season 30 - Finished Chapter 1-3. Working on Chapter 4.
Firewatch - I picked up this game on GamePass because I needed a little break before I started a new game plus run of Alan Wake 2 and wanted something that wouldn't take me more than one night. I knew going into this game that it was going to be "solving" a mystery, but I did not expect it to play out the way it did, or it to be such a story driven game. Even starting out in the first 10ish minutes I didn't expect the game to go in the direction that it did. It was a bit of a slow burn (wink wink nudge nudge), but it was a lot of fun, especially since it's one of those games where you come up with a theory of what's going on and then second guess yourself over and over. Plus the whole time I was walking around from objective to objective, I kept having the thought of how cool it would be to just roam around without a looming goal hanging over my head, and lo and behold, after I finished the game, a free roam setting was unlocked.
Alan Wake 2 - Gave in and started a new game plus. This game has got me in a chokehold right now, even with its many, many problems that keep popping up. Kind of wish some more was changed based on the events of the first playthrough, and I'm not a big fan of how they treated ng+ inventory or some gameplay decisions that Remedy made, but I'm still having fun.
That is one thing that I do like about playing D4, there's always someone hanging around somewhere to help you out.
When I started, I was super disappointed, because the world was basically empty, except for towns and some of the events. I was hoping it's because I started so late, and I was kinda right. However on the higher difficulties, there are a bunch of people at the different hot spots all over the world, which gives me hope for the new season, that it's not just going to be empty 90% of the time.
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.
I’ve been playa Red Dead Redemption (the first one) and I’m enjoying it a lot. I’ve decided to play without the on-screen map and it does wonders for immersion, recognizing areas, locations, where people are, etc. I highly recommend it!
Emulate the Switch version. It works far better than trying to the get the PS3 version to run.
If you like the idea of playing a large open world game without a minimap, I can also highly recommend the first two Gothic games, Gothic II in particular. Maps for this game can only be bought, found or stolen and they don’t show your position. Since every location is hand-crafted and unique, you won’t actually miss having a minimap. Even two decades later, these titles still wipe the floor with most open world games in terms of world design.
I really like that in RDR2 you can disable the mini map and replace it with a plain compass. It has the added feature that you can briefly show the mini map again if you need to get your bearings, and it disappears after a short delay. Definitely helps with the immersion.
I remember being very unimpressed with RDR, though that could be because I rushed through it the week before the sequel came out. In my experience rushing through a game like that ruins the experience completely.
What is it you enjoy most? Open cowboy world or the story or something else? Might have to go back to it (and actually finish the sequel lol)
Well I’m not a huge gamer, specially since I have a kid, but I was expecting GTA with horses, but I’m enjoying it a lot (I don’t really like GTA) anh I had not played this game, since I never had a console, but it came out for switch and I went for it. I’m not going to try to sell it to you. The no-map immersion is a big factor, I guess, which is new for me!
