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!

anton2492,

I might just try that someday. The idea is intimidating but sounds like a new level of fun. Have to try to emulate it on PC though

DdCno1,

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.

Skyhighatrist,

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.

BmeBenji,

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!

BmeBenji,

Well I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for the last few weeks and somewhere Warframe here and there when I don’t have enough time to get list with BG3.

Still mainly Diablo 4, but a lot less this week. I finished my seasonal goals faster than I thought, and have been slowly mopping up some of the stuff that's season independent. I filled out the map, found the Altars (3/4 by myself the rest with a guide), and also did all the dungeons to unlock the legendary aspects, but I guess those reset, and you have to do them again in the new season (or just the ones you're interested in).

Then I also did more Soulstone Survivors runs. So far I've been mainly playing as the default class, the barbarian, and unlocking everything for him. There's so much stuff, and then do a lot more for all the other classes as well. It's fun, though still lacks a bit of variety, mainly in the levels.

Sill playing Aurora. Missle combat is very different and it took a while to learn. I’m hitting my stride now I feel.

Also in the middle of Citizen Sleeper. An RPG where you’re playing a transhuman cyborg traped on a space station. It’s been interesting. I would compare it to Disco Elysium. That title obviously had a better budget but Sleeper holds up well.

Was the same with every platform. Enshittification does not care about you

I hope to see more Peanut Butter runs

The Granny Trilogy run was one of the funniest runs ever done in the event, it is very worth a watch

Picked up Another Code Recollection. Never played the original on the 3DS, and I’m really enjoying it.

I've been playing a ton of Pillars of Eternity still. I think I can wrap up Kana's quest before I head into Act 3. I've got a lot of irons in the fire of my quest log that look like I need to advance the plot or level up more to finish them, so Act 3 is maybe when they intended for me to finish those.

I only got to watch DK64 live but they were great. The whole couch was in on their jokes and they explained all the wall clip techniques.

The Bluey run memed so hard. After the run, people were shouting “hooray!” after every significant event in other games, e.g. when collecting shines in Super Mario Sunshine.

The Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Kart 64 runs both had great commentary.

Super Mario 64 Drum% was great. CZR did a 16 star run with a drum kit.

This was my first time seeing Cocoon, and my mind was blown. Orb!

The Super Metroid TAS was awesome.

The Metroid Dread race was nail biting. 2s difference over a 1h50m race.

Go! Go! Hamster Chef. No spoilers. You should watch it.

Edit: add some more stuff above.

PhobosAnomaly,

Honestly I was in for the Ultimate Doom speedruns and Argick’s commentary.

It seemed to go well this year, good on them.

xfc,

That drum% was so fun

If i’m not sim racing, its BattleBit, Noita or Baldur’s Gate. Lots of fun!@

We bought Palworld yesterday, probably play that most of the week. It mashes up a lot of games and has some nice QoL updates from similar games (like Ark)

I’m about to play Ico and Elder Scrolls Online

Malick23,

Ico is such a wonderful game. I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two of my favorites. I even loved The Last Guardian, in spite of its flaws.

@neosheo@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Shadow of the colossus is in my top 10. I just beat last guardian after playing for like 2 years. Struggled getting into it but the other day i decided to power through to the end and i absolutely loved the end. I have high hopes for ico

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It has a deeper story than Shadow of the Colossus, but the combat hook in SotC is just soooooo good.

The Last Guardian just needed another 3-6 months of tightening up, I think. But if they waited much longer they would have missed the PS4 entirely.
