I'll be playing some Deep Rock Galactic. Always end up back playing it. ROCK AND STONE!

Decided to finally play Hi-Fi Rush hopefully get it completed over the weekend! ☺️

[–] EntropyPure 2 points 1 year ago

I should pick it up again to finish it. Such a good game! But the live service hell of Destiny is keeping me occupied.

[–] Jerryzkae 2 points 1 year ago

Started it a few weeks ago, I'm really enjoying it so far!

Been on a huge Spider-Man kick, lately. Just 100%'d the first and am currently probably 1/4 of the way through Miles Morales. I really like the new mechanics overall, I just suck at stealth 😬

Edit: Oops, didn't realize this was the Xbox community, my mistake!

[–] AlexanderTheGreat 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm jealous. I still haven't picked up a PS5 and I love the Spiderman games!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm playing them on PC and Steam Deck. I can't justify a PS5 purchase, at least not yet.

We'll see how long my will holds out for the Spider-Man 2 PC port, though, haha.

I didn't realize they were on PC!!

Dark souls remaster and probably some vampire survivors.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

GTA Online! I’m basic i know haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Regarding DPG, I find it hard to find groups to play with in my time zone. I'm on the Discord server, but nobody seems to be online my evenings NZT. I've tried DRG solo, but think it's better multiplayer. Any tips to find people to play with?

Age of Empires 2

Not on Xbox, but you could!

[–] AlexanderTheGreat 2 points 1 year ago

Love that game. I've been slowly playing through the campaign on my laptop when I'm away from home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm continuing on my first play through ni no kuni 2

[–] FreeFish 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heard a bunch of praises for Assassin's Creed Origins, so I've just started that up recently. Very fun so far - looking forward to exploring around Egypt.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat 2 points 1 year ago

Of the three newest ones it is the best.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Frostpunk since Sunday. I was just able to handle the London people, now I'm getting sick of it.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been interested in trying Frostpunk. Would you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I absolutely recommend if economy management is your jam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Any other economy management you recommend? My wife and I love playing tropico.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you've got a PC I recommend Banished. It's an old time city builder. Was great fun.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Banished looks great, and seems to have good support for linux. Going to give it a try!

Thanks for the recommendation.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat 2 points 1 year ago

No problem :) I love that game. It's relaxing and you get to build a little town!

I love this game. Went through almost all the scenarios before burning out. Good stuff. Excellent console controls.

I tried to get into that, but I kept coming back to "why am I doing this?" Like... I can manage a village and it's pleasant enough... But why?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm enjoying the different take on "city building" in this game. You have to take care of the dragon creature as well, which feels like a modern version of a tamagotchi. Adapting to the different climates/poisonous clouds the creature walks through is a nice challenge. I've been playing it every day since the gamepass release and I love it.

[–] Jerryzkae 2 points 1 year ago

Some The Witcher 3 on my Steam Deck and I started Trek to Yomi with gamepass. The art direction is so good it really feels like a movie

[–] Jambone 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wandering around Boston in Fallout 4, reinforcing some settlements, collecting some junk for scraps, and sleeping with Cait.

Even found another power armor suit that had somehow gone undiscovered years ago.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Playing with any specific build?

[–] Jambone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm playing on an Xbox One with just the six DLCs.

I installed one mod a looong time ago, whose name and purpose I don't recall, and since then my gamer score has not increased despite having played several other games.

So, I'm a bit leery of trying anything else. As time permits, I'll looking into getting things straightened out.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, I didn't mean mod, I meant character build. Like a sniper, or melee focused thief, or smooth talking bard or something 😀

[–] Jambone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, yea, sorry. I've only ever used one character, and I think I started with mostly an "intelligence" build.

My character's current SPECIAL stats are 10, 13, 7, 12, 10, 9, and 9 at level 129.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, I didn't even know you can reach level 129.

I love Fallout and Bethesda RPGs, but for some reason I couldn't get into Fallout 4. It's on my list of "give another try" list, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

When I couldn't get into it, I searched different things about the game, and found out character builds of all kind. Everything from simple ones like sniper, melee etc to weird ones, like 'The Ninja', and then some even weirder ones on YouTube.

[–] Jambone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, I can understand. The early part of the game is marred by Preston Garvey giving one assignment after another, and having to rush off the defend settlements.

But FO4 has a quite elaborate settlement building component, and after ringing them with turrets and other defenses, they can pretty much take care of themselves, leaving more time to wander.

There's quite a variety of things to see outside the city. My favorites are the Glowing Sea to the south west and Far Harbor to the north east (DLC).

The thing that really gives FO4 longevity, for me, is that the leveling up has no upper limit. Whatever character traits one picks initially should theoretically converge to a character with everything.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, maybe I should give it another go.

That's nice about leveling. This is how I like playing Bethesda games. First play-through, I do everything I want. Then when I feel the urge to play them again after a while, I play a specific class. Like playing, just a melee fighter in Skyrim, or so on.

[–] Jambone 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Bethesda games are my favorite. I played Skyrim all the way through on an Xbox 360, then again on Xbox One. I should try a melee character on the next platform, rather than sticking with a long-range archer elf.

I did play through Fallout New Vegas on "survival" mode a few years back. It took a bit longer since a lot of time had to be spent on eating and sleeping. Fun though!

How does it compare to the first one?

Sea of Thieves. Always. For the chill vibes and whimsy. And then some Aliens: Dark Decent, for that high stress, anxiety adrenaline. I'm a fellow of extremes.
