Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
I’ve been playing Exoprimal. I definitely wouldn’t have paid $60 for it, but it’s actually pretty fun - even though it’s primarily PVE, it really scratches the role-based hero gameplay I wanted out of Overwatch’s smoking wreck. In fact, keeping the shift primarily away from PVP (usually until endgame of each round) makes it so if you’re getting bodied by a much better team, you still get to play before having your group inefficiencies exposed at the end. That’s much better than an entire match being miserable with constant respawning.
Reviewers told that after 10 hours they didn’t want to play more, when you will it 10 hours, tell ke if you are still interested in it because I want to play it but I don’t want to waste 60 bucks
I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.
Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **
Once you’ve beat Vampire Survivors you can lose more time playing Halls of Torment. You can curse me later
Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.
The top rated comment on here when it first came out was “Everyone talking positively about it must be a shill, there’s no way a game can be that good”
It really just is that good!
Death standing, trying to keep my sanity while delivering cargo in mountains without the baby.
Navigating the mountains without BB is definitely stressful, but as long as you keep an eye on the weather, you should be good. I think I only had a run in with BTs once. You’re on the tail end of the story, have fun and keep on keeping on. 👍
Always playing Kenshi. Just can’t put it down.
Also just reinstalled Seven Kingdoms AA for the 100th time. Still one of my favourite games.
Exoprimal. It’s the exact dumb fun I want it to be with its own little sense of humor that actually works somewhat. If you have Gamepass it is a no-brainer. I’m not sure about $60 or $70 or whatever it’s retailing at yet but this will undoubtedly be a game with a huge surge in users when they start selling it for $30 and under. The PvPvE format works very well for it, it gives you a real sense of urgency and has you moving very quickly. Gives the fights and deaths real stakes that aren’t just resetting progression or something.
BattleBit and Fifa23
Currently in 2.3 in FFXIV, still having so much fun with it
Skyrim
Just finished Rayman Origins. Nearly a decade old but the game still looks incredible. Moving on to Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS now
Playing Subnautica (original) for the first time and absolutely loving it!
Using a few QOL mods, I’ve given Subnautica 500+ hours of my life. It’s an excellent indie title that more game developers need to look at as an example of what they should be chasing.
would you mind listing off a few of those? it’s clunkiness is a lot of why i haven’t been able to get into something that by all rights should be right up my alley.
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime: Remastered. It’s amazing to see the beauty of the world in this game, but kid me must of had way more patience for the backtracking
Got into Rimworld for the first time and I’ve gone down such a rabbit hole that I don’t know if I can ever stop. I’ve never played such a completely engrossing game before.
I don’t spend too much on games and only buy if they’re on sale.
Recently bought sleeping dogs for $2 and finished it 2 days ago. It was a 10/10 experience. Definitely suggest everyone to try it.
Other than that I’ve been playing Deep Rock Galactic.
I’m waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been saving myself from spoilers ever since early access started. I got some time off work for the launch of the full version that’s a couple of weeks from now, and plan to sink some good hours into that. Until then I’m wasting time with random games like Brotato, hades, hearthstone battlegrounds, diablo 4, civ 6 and a whole bunch of others.
I’ve played almost every RPG I own in the past year trying to hold off on one last EA playthrough of BG3. Haven’t touched it since the infamous CONTENT PENDING era and I really want to go from that jank-ass period of EA straight into the full version.
It’s been really hard.
