Final Fantasy XIV has added The Occult Crescent field zone, and I have basically been living there.

If you get any kind of consistency, you should reach out to the mods and get it added to the sidebar. I like having a thread like this in a gaming community.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance in anticipation of the sequel, which I already bought. I feel like I never know when the next opportunity to do side quests will be, so I found a good break in the story around main story quest 8-ish, and I’m just doing those for a while. The first couple of missions set some false expectations for what this game is and what you’ll have to put up with, but it becomes much more straight forward after that.

I’ve also been going through the Borderlands games ahead of that series’ sequel, and I just got to Borderlands 3. Man, that game feels great to play. It’s been interesting to play through these games so rapid fire, because whatever my criticism was of the previous game, the developers also knew about it and addressed it in the next game. I hear the writing takes a turn for the worst in this game, but the first few hours are more than tolerable so far.

And for quicker sessions, I’ve also been playing through Devil May Cry 4. I started playing through these games back when Hi-Fi Rush completely floored me, and then some other games came out, and I put DMC4 down for a while. Now that I picked it up again, it’s still great, but I’m not really sure what to do with Nero’s revving mechanic.

Why are you trying to wean your girlfriend off of Strive? I love me some +R too, but both of those games are great!

just started journey to Savage planet, which is a lot of fun.

the humor reminds me a lot of outer worlds and the exploration feels a lot like outer wilds, coincidentally.

I’m having a really good time playing it and will probably check out the sequel when I finish.

The last feature Epic added that was meaningful was the ability to look at my own game library.

They still have a storefront without reviews… They have ratings “captured from the ecosystem”.

They remain a joke.

I’ve been playing this ‘medieval’ mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn’t seem well tuned in parts.

I’ve also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn’t quite nail it overall. That’s almost more frustrating to be honest.

I’ve primarily been playing Celeste and been enjoying it. I made it to the summit and now I’m going back through and trying to find all the strawberries, cassettes, and crystals without a guide and beat the B-Side levels. It’s kind of a slog though, so I’ll probably resort to using a guide eventually. Other than that I’ve been dabbling a bit with Elden Ring and GTA V and playing stuff like Pizza Possum and Plate Up with my fiancé.

Remnant 2. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m having a good time. The systems are pretty complex and unexplained so I just equip things that seem cool. So far so good! Thanks to other players joining my game I’ve been able to solve the puzzles, which honestly I would have had to lookup solutions for if I were only playing solo.

Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.

Patient gamer here. Playing Skyrim for the first time and having a blast.

I’ve sunk nearly 800 hours on it.

Good luck.

LillyPip,

Oh nice. Just remember to hydrate and get some sleep. It’s so easy to lose hours to that game!

LillyPip,

Hahahaha relatable.

I’ve played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you’re into that sort of thing.

Starting up a new run in Vintage Story (with mods!) while on a break from Ender Magnolia. Landed on the the mother of all starter zones. Might just make it to endgme this time :)

Gremour,

Surprised someone mentioned it. I’m playing it too. Quite captivating game.

Finally started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 1. A lot of the design decisions in the game are antithetic to my idea of fun. But there’s a healthy mod community and a handfull of QOL mods later I’m having an absolute blast

DOOM Dark Ages. I’m about halfway through.

I’ve also been playing Nightreign and having an absolute blast. I did manage to beat Gladius with a couple of randos early on, but nothing since then. I’ve been trying to help my friend clear that first hurdle, but no luck so far.

I actually try to play less, phone less and focus more on drawing, journaling and touching grass

But I finished expedition 33 recently and before that I played some crusader kings 3 lotr mod

E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me

I could not sleep at the last day after I went through the ending at all because I was tortured by crying fits

Now I remember that hugging moment even now I get sad immediately and it all just leaks out of my eyes so yeah. I am resting

mysticpickle,

Bro. You can’t do that. No one can handle that much feels in such a short span.

OP: WITNESS ME!

Pour one out for a fallen gamer

Emmie,

I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.

I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well

Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again

PlantJam,

Have you played A Plague Tale? It’s much shorter but also pretty emotional.

Emmie,

I have a serious deficiencies in emotional games played considering I only acquired such taste playing Honkai star rail penacony a year ago. Or rather arcane s1 tv series before.

Gladly taking the recommendation and open to any other

PlantJam,

I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.

Tingle,

The most emotional game I played was To the Moon. It’s kind of like a jrpg walking simulator with some puzzles and light gameplay in it but a fantastic story.

The developer has made quite a few games in the series now but none hit quite as hard as the first in my opinion.
