comicallycluttered, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 19th

Okay, just finished Chants of Sennaar. That was a lovely experience. Reminded me a bit of my time a few months ago with Jusant, along with a touch of Journey and Heaven’s Vault thrown in.

Had to laugh out loud when I ended up playing a fucking mechanical crank handle version of Flappy Bird. That was pretty entertaining.

One puzzle completely stumped me, but some kind soul on the Steam forums (!!) had a really good explanation without giving away the actual answer to the puzzle, which I always appreciate.

Anyway, highly recommend for anyone who likes puzzle games, environmental and organic storytelling, languages and written script, and just an examination of history, culture, and how (ideally) we can all connect if we just listen to one another and find shared interests (there’s a particular interest that almost every culture in the game shares, which is something a lot of people IRL bond over as well; I found it pretty interesting because it felt so… quintessentially human).

What to play next? No idea. I think I’m done with intense action games for a while, so might find something else relatively chill to play.

kariunai,

I played and enjoyed Chants of Sennaar and Jusant in the last few months. A recent standout game for me was Tunic. Check it out, it might suit you well as much as it did me. It has fighting but if you want you can enable easier combat or even “no fail mode” (invulnerability) from the menu. The game has a ton of hidden secrets and puzzles while being pretty and friendly to look at like the other two games. It is a great experience with or without the combat parts.

comicallycluttered,

Hah, I was actually considering Tunic! But I’m also a little mentally burned out, so I think I need to be in a bit of a different headspace, otherwise I’m going to ignore some of the more interesting parts like the little secrets and slowly revealing the instruction manual and all that curiosity-rewarding stuff.

It’s definitely on my “to play relatively soon” list, though, and thanks for the suggestion!

Some more modern run and guns - Blazing Chrome and Huntdown. Both of those are a good time.

Been playing Rebel Galaxy on and off a bit. It’s decent enough, think of it as a Freelancer lite, big emphasis on “lite”. It’s more “naval combat in space” than any sort of space game.

Also some Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, I really suck at it but it’s so flashy and fun!

@ICastFist @chloyster RGO kinda fixed that and everyone was like Boooh it's not RG any more xD

...and then there was that exclusive deal that broke the camels back 🥲 Ded company.

I’m partially aware of people not liking Rebel Galaxy Outlaw as a sequel, though I never read into the whys, though if you can actually pilot in all 6 degrees of freedom, that’s a plus for me.

What was that exclusive deal? Something with Sony?

@ICastFist dunno, I missed all that by years and only found out after having a lot of fun with the game. Apparently it got so much hate that it's lead dev changed industries. Real shame. Ah well, apparently he is happy now and that's something too.

Just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, which I enjoyed greatly, despite all the jank!

I’ll likely move on to DMC 5 now, since I left it unfinished a few years ago and would like a shorter / fast-pace game atm.

I’ve also been playing a fair amount of Guilty Gear Strive on the side, first real fighting game and it’s a blast so far trying to learn the right combos, cancels, etc…

Super Mario 64 on my switch. Reminds me of great childhood memories.

@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

Might as well ask if we included Tactics.

@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

Tactics doesnt have a number though

littlebluespark,
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

That’s my point.

I’ve been playing through all the numbered games and its been great.

Its a numbered game and I’ve been playing the numbered games up till now. I’ve never played 11 maybe the stories incredible I think its worth asking in the context of what I’m doing.

zipzoopaboop,

Of course it should be included. It’s the best game.

@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

It is the marathon.

Carighan, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

No of course not. Plus XI nowadays is a bit tricky to play anyways, and with XIV, there’s also no reason to for the average player.

I haven’t checked it out yet, but I saw someone had made a Lumines demake for the gba. Usually I end up finding out about them through forums and youtube

@Ibaudia@lemmy.world avatar

I tried KF2 for a while and really couldn’t get into it. The game just lacks replayability in my opinion. Trying different perks, maps, difficulties, etc. really didn’t resonate with me because I felt like I was doing basically the same thing, just kiting around enemies in a predictable loop. There was a serious absence of memorable moments, unlike with other horde shooters like l4d and even b4b. Sunk a few dozen hours into it and it kinda feels like a waste in hindsight, never really enjoyed it and spent the whole time trying to.

@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Well yes, it always was multi-player co-op horde shooter?

Stamau123, do games w WTF is wrong with Killing Floor 2?

I used to be into KF1 because all the ads, trailers, etc were always so fun to watch. Became a lot more boring in KF2 and the game itself kinda felt that way too.

You see the results of indie devs that are successful but you don’t see the ones that failed.
