Cyberpunk 2077. Damn good game.
Patient Gamers
A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Another backlog game I would like to get to soon. Did you play it on release at all?
I played it all the way through on launch on PC. It had bugs, and it was missing some glaring things, like proper cop AI. However overall I had no game breaking bugs. But also, I didn't really follow the hype until the game was already coming out, so i didn't have many expectations going in. I highly recommend it. Performance has improved, features have been added and refined, and it's got a very rich and detailed world to play with. I haven't played the DLC yet, but I'm hearing that's pretty good as well.
Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum yesterday. Also started Witcher 3 a while ago and have yet to finish that.
I 'finished' Symphony of the Night the other day. By which I mean I got the bad ending, rather than doing some extra stuff to unlock the inverted castle. Should I go back and do that? Maybe at some point.
I'm very close to finishing Tears of the Kingdom, and I've also started a new playthough of New Vegas on my Steam Deck. Plenty to keep me busy!
Getting the bad ending is, at most, half of the content of that game. So yes! You should finish it
SotN is one of the best games of all time. The GBA Castlevanias are good as well. Thinking of Castlevania always reminds me of that multiplayer co-op CV game on XBL that I wish was still around... Harmony of Despair.
Oh man, I just found a Unity port of Harmony of Despair with an active community playing it!
SMT Nocturne, it looks as if I'm about to battle with the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Old game I know, but old is great 👍
Slay the Princess
What a crazy, unexpected gem. Without spoiling anything, it’s a hand-animated interactive narrative game with strong Stanley Parable influences.
That came across my recommendation queue the other day - despite my dislike for horror, it looks interesting enough that I might check it out!
I think I will continue playing Dark Souls Remastered. I am not that far at all. The second boss is killing my nerves.
Or I continue with Minecraft: Create above and beyond Modpack
I'm still playing Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. I'm enjoying the game more now. I thought I had finished chapter 2 but it turns out there was a lot more to do! I find the characters more interesting to play now that they're higher levels and have more spells and gear. The story is developing more too and it's looking good.
I've been playing Valheim with a buddy as well and it's been a blast. Combat and exploring the open world are great fun. I could easily let myself get lost in this game until dawn if I wanted.
I have mostly been playing Forza Horizon 4.
I am not a car nut, but fun and relaxing to play while listening to a podcast
I’m planning a big mission to the Jool system in KSP, so I’m working on a reusable heavy lifter, large resource scanning probe, a refinery with small collection ships, a big lander, a spaceplane, a science station, comm satellites, and reusable transfer vehicles.
Sweet. I forgot about Kerbal Space Program but it looks like a ton of fun!
Remnant 2 is still going strong here. My Dark Souls power fantasy - with guns n' shit! Love it!
Resident Evil 4! (the original, not the remake)
Man, what a great game this is so far. It feels oddly nostalgic even though I've never played it before. It's peak design from 2005.
Struggling at the moment to find something to get into.
Played around 4 hours of Days Gone and it didn't really grab my attention.
Played THPS 1+2, got to area 51 on the first game within around an hour and just found it boring these days, I got ruined by Skate and it's far superior control scheme.
Started on Forza Horizon 5, I really enjoyed playing 4 during covid and I am craving this kind of arcade racing but I am just struggling to get into this one. I think it is a combination of the map being boring as fuck and so by extension so are the races and there being so much going on on the map yet seemingly nothing to really do. Also being presented DLC on the map as if it is a race I can go and do really rubbed me up the wrong way a bit.
I have Disgaea 6 to try as well as Wasteland 3 and Disco Elysium but really not feeling an RPG right now. I'd like to try NFS Unbounded but refuse to download a shitty launcher to do so so now I'm lost xD
I agree so much on Forza 5, it‘s my first Forza and driving through the wasteland that is the part of Mexico they decided to largely use is… boring. Which is a shame cause the graphics, car selection, and driving is top tier. The Crew piqued my interest cause it‘s on Hawaii which sounds immediately more interesting lol, but I think it‘s overall a qualitatively worse game from the looks of it.
Unfortunately haven't had much time to play but i've been playing elden ring again. I'm juat getting to Morgott. And witcher 3 (which i've had for probably 6 years now and never beat) i'm in skellige trying to finish the quest where we help them figure out who should be the next leader
Borderlands 2 on native linux. Im not a huge gamer but this one is adddictive. Got it for like 5 bucks on steam. Does anyone want to play multiplayer with me. If native linux to linux works
I've been playing the Frozen Wilds DLC of Horizon Zero Dawn, but I might be a bit burnt out on the game since I just finished the main quest and spent so much time on it. I'm like 20 levels over the quests, although I can still die from 2 hits but a machine so it's not too bad.
I'm considering replaying the original FF7 before Rebirth comes out or buying a used, physical copy of Divinity: Original Sin 2 to tide me over until I can afford Baldur's Gate 3. Not sure if it will help scratch that itch but I've been missing DnD and fantasy RPG's since it's been so much trouble getting my group to meet.
Tony Hawk 1+2. Just found out the multiplayer servers are gone, which is a bummer, but it's still fun.
I started a new Starsector Run with new Mods. Still in the Stage where my colonies are running a defecit and i have to make credits exploring and Bounty hunting
LotRO and DotA2
sleeping dogs , picked it up about 2 weeks ago when it was on sale. I need to finish the year of the snake dlc now. I played through the main stories quick enough. There was a fun fight tournament mission like the movie enter the dragon.
Other than that I'm dipping in and out of super Mario wonder , emulated on deck and I need to get back to metal gear 5 to finish the campaign.
I've been playing the Witness for the first time, and it's great. I've been doing it as part of a group randomizer though, which makes it so hard lol One day I'll figure out what all these shapes mean
Diablo 4 and EA Sports FC 24
Journey to the savage planet. Been placing through a coop campaign with a friend and it really good. The tounge in check humour is great, awesome parkour dynamics, beautiful environments. First game in a while I've wanted to 100%.
Project Zomboid. I'm always back to PZ whenever I feel like "gaming". The continuous flow of mods makes this game better and better every time I open the workshop.
Alien: isolation - its okay, I just keep getting lost lol
Been playing LunarLux, delightful little game. It's like the people behind it were like "What if we take the Mega Man Battle Network aesthetics, general vibes and battle system but have combat be turn based and get the player to dodge attacks like in Undertale sometimes?"
I have tons of nostalgia for the MMBN games so this doesn't come from an unbiased place but man, they've nailed the sheer Saturday morning cartoon energy the originals had down to a T. The scale is a lot smaller but I can't wait to see what the studio comes up with next if they decide to follow up on this!
Playing Canis Canem Edit for the first time. To be honest, I had very high expectations and they didn't really get fulfilled.
Oof, that's rough. Is that the one known as Bully elsewhere? What hasn't been to your liking?
Yup, that name is for PAL releases only.
I thought it would have been a much more in dept experience, instead I find character interactions very simplistics. I expected for interaction to have actually a bigger impact, when its honestly pretty meaningless especially with my character only knowing a few sentences outside of cutscenes.
Missions or tasks honestly feel more like chores thogheter with the lessons, that I feel like leave you with little time for missions. I completed chemistry and english, and feel like I can finally breath somewhat before completing art and sports. I hate how running from dorm to class you still end up having to dodge the principals because apparently you are late and are wanted for "unjustified absence".
I honestly also don't really like my character too. It is prothraied for his real dislike of being pushed around, yet it almost feels like he kneels to the feet of Gary Smith like its really nothing for how trusting he acts. But I am still at the start, and with how Gary acts I feel like this dude is 99.9% going to betray me.
Zelda: Oracle of Ages!
(on a Miyoo Mini Plus, and it's a lovely experience!)
Manic miners. Basically a remake of the LEGO rock raiders game from 1999. The original was a part of my childhood, and the remake is free, not buggy (unlike the original), and has better graphics. Would definitely recommend.
I played Turmoil which is honestly pretty fun but nothing mindblowing.
I‘ve also finished Supraland which is also recommendable but I wished the dev would have actual useful pointers where to go and what to do next, I‘ve been lost walking around for an hour until I just gave up and checked out a guide on where to go multiple times. Especially when you put it down and come back to it a couple weeks later you‘re doomed lol
Shoutout to Lovely Planet which is an entertaining speedrun FPS that doesn‘t look like much but for sure surprised me. Final shoutout to Pineapple on Pizza which is a ten minute f2p game with a wholesome ending
Supraland is great. I intentionally try to avoid going the right way when I play single player games, but in this one, that kept just putting me where I needed to be lol
Hidden gem, The Witcher 3. Taking my sweet time to do everything I want, so I'm 120h in and I don't feel like I'm too far into the main questline. That's good, I'd like it to last as long as possible lol
