Gaming thread! What have you been playing recently?

Tears of the Kingdom? Diablo IV? Duke Nukem?

Friend put me onto Control. Picked it up at discount and enjoying it so far.

Kenshi mostly. It's a post apocalyptic sandbox in space that will run in a potato

Currently playing a mixture of The Witcher 3 and Battle Bit Remastered.

I've been mostly bouncing between FFXIV and Rimworld.

currently working my way through all of kingdom hearts. as a teen i played everything up until dream drop distance and i was a massive fan but that waned over time. i got both 1.5 + 2.5 and 2.8 and i'm working through everything again as a lore refresher before i tackle 3.

I've been playing Far Cry 3 on the ps4 (my first Far Cry game, alternating between really enjoying it and tearing my hair out at the janky "platforming") and nearly finished Terra Nil on PC, been revisiting Frostpunk a little bit too. But mainly I'm wondering if the upcoming FF16 release will be the excuse I need to finally buy a PS5 (•̯͡. •̯͡ )‎​

Aside from FC3: Blood Dragon, you're probably playing the best game in the series hands down. Enjoy it, there's nothing else quite like it (every subsequent game felt like a cheap copy of FC3)

[–] squigglemonster 3 points 1 year ago

I'd somehow not heard of Blood Dragon, gonna have to try that out once I'm done with FC3. Keen to try Primal at some point too, looks a bit different.

I checked out the F123 Game Trial on EA Play, seems like they really improved the handling this time - cars are a lot less nervous than last year so when traction breaks you have much more opportunity to correct the slide and keep going rather than being spat out into a wall or something. And on the other end, a lot less unaccountable turn in understeer. I also got PS2 Emulation working on my phone so I’m playing some Gran Turismo 3 & 4. I had been playing 7, but while the driving is pretty good…The Campaign structure and the AI leave a lot to be desired. So I figured I’d replay some classics while I wait for Forza Motorsport this October.

I'm putting my earphones in to avoid the unbelievably loud whirring of my PS4, and playing Wreckfest and Mordheim single player for the eight millionth hour just to kill time between working, and working some more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recently got into Warframe, and have been playing that a fair bit. Other than that, I had a blast with WH40K: Boltgun and Crab Champions as well.

Mass Effect, Star Trek Resurgence, Forspoken, Skyrim, The Last of Us Pt 1.

Age of wonders 3, I'd like to finish it before age of wonders 4 goes on sale.

Satisfactory, restarted for the 4th time, this time in the desert, I've never made it much past oil, but I've gotten really good at getting to oil! This time I'm using platforms everywhere, and it's making traveling/exploring so much easier, but I feel like it's also taken a lot of wonder out of exploration.

Path of exile is always in the background, waiting for me to come back to it. I'm super excited to see what exile con brings.

Playing them all on the deck with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The deck has also made other games so much more accessible, skul the hero slayer, dead cells, and hollow Knight I've put more time into than ever on the computer/console.

Shapez - very addictive, and there's a 3D version being released next year. Funded by the German government, apparently.

[–] axellenium 2 points 1 year ago

Elden ring! And loving it.

Couldn’t afford it at release but a buddy of mine gifted it to me recently 🤓

[–] Wodge 2 points 1 year ago

Warframe and Destiny 2 as I must grind.

[–] Z_ford_prefect 2 points 1 year ago

Back on Valheim because there's a lot of new content since the last time I played it.

Also enjoying getting yelled at by children in Rocket League when I just have time for a quick round or two.

[–] lightingnerd 2 points 1 year ago

Destiny 2 as a F2P user has been surprisingly fun. Yeah, there are paywalls, but there's at-least 60-80 hours that you can play for free with how well the game is designed. Great group PvP and PvE challenges, public group PvE challenges, and over-all gorgeous modeling. Plus the combat mechanics aren't insanely hard to learn, but they can still provide a great challenge. I had my doubts because I've heard it was a microtransaction nightmare, but turns out it's not a pay-to-play scheme like Genshin. I might even buy the expansions and unlock the rest of the game.

[–] Blxter 2 points 1 year ago

Call me crazy but halo infinite has made great strides to become better. Been playing that a decent amount been avoiding playing destiny 2 as I don't care for how little care Bungie puts into it. Other than that my back log of games I buy and have yet to play :)

[–] NUMPTY37K 2 points 1 year ago

Running through the tomb raider trilogy, it's free in ps catalogue and I'm really enjoying the story as I'm just trying to get through them rather than find every trinket I'm the game. I might try playing more games like this as a lot I burn out on 2 thirds through or get distracted by another game.

[–] ItsWizardTime 2 points 1 year ago

Diablo 4 and AEW Fight Forever once it comes out next week.

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

Yakuza Like a Dragon.

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

Yakuza Kiwami, played 0 a few years ago and I've been wanting to play the rest of the series for a long time, decided I'd actually do that now since they're on PS+ Extra.

[–] atretador 2 points 1 year ago

I do mostly FFXIV and emulation, but just got into RuneScape 3 and it's super fun. I was quite surprised, as it's not a very actiony game, but the questing and style just grows on you.

[–] dimspace 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Currently about 25-30 hours into Days Gone (ps5) and thoroughly enjoying it.

The moral of that story is a) don't listen to ign b) metacritic user score is more relevant than critic score

Then need to finish Jedi survivor which I quit half way because of the bounty (and various other) bug(s)

[–] Monkeyarson 2 points 1 year ago

Tears of the kingdom has finally broke my ftl: faster than light addiction

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

Playing through the mass effect trilogy again because, why not?

Also bought battlebits remastered last night and gave that a go. A lot of fun for some casual shooter action!

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

Been playing TOTK (surprise, surprise), and after my exams are done I'm gonna get stuck into Persona 4 Golden.

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

Currently playing Breath of the Wild and trying to complete it so I can start playing TOTK.
