Just getting into FF7 Rebirth. Was a huge fan of the original, but these remakes are just so silly it’s kind of hard. And I really don’t like the active combat system in modern FF games, but I’ll get through it.
Always playing a little Rust here and there, can’t help myself.
Was about to resub to RuneScape after a yearlong break but then I saw Mod Jack got canned. Jagex getting darker every year…
Suicide Squad. Completed the main story. In order to 100% you only need to grind the original post-game, but I'm playing each season now for the tiny droplet of story each has.
Working my way through act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3. I feel like I've done just about everything in the Temple of Shar except the I tried it a couple times but got whooped a little too easily. Shadowheart is a beast though. She's usually the last one alive when I try it. She can take out all the mobs by herself. It's gonna take the whole squad to win the fight. I need to get my party up a level or two. Me being a defenseless bard is pretty tough. In all my attempts I've been sniped turn one with little recourse to get revived.spoiler
fight against Balthazar.
Then on top of that I've put time in AI Wars 2 and fighting games. AI Wars 2 is so cool. Complete information overload and a wonky UI but it's got the addicting qualities I like in video games.
Tekken has been calling me as like a stress reliever. Then the Marvel announcement yesterday made me fire up Strive and SF6. I might put real effort into Strive this time. I've always wanted to but it's never quite clicked like SF, and Tekken. And yes I installed DBFZ out of sheer joy yesterday. That rollback better be good.
I am close to finishing my latest Skyrim mod list, so hopefully I can start playing Skyrim soon.
Until then I play Lunar Silver Star Remake on my Switch.
Juggling a lot at once right now.
Been working on platinums/100% for every single RGG game since Feb last year. Currently on Yakuza 2 (HD PS3 port since it actually has trophies but is entirely in Japanese lmao) and Kurohyou 1. Kurohyou 2 and Kenzan are the last games left after these.
Deltarune Ch 3 and 4 are gonna eat up a LOT of time this week and next
Sunk 20 hours into Nightreign, still haven't beaten the first big boss because matchmaking is a nightmare. Might revisit this when some friends actually want to run it for once idk. Fun game but one bad teammate can fuck the whole run.
Chapter Master: Adeptus Dominus
Essentially a free, fan-made 40k game originally made like 20 years ago by one guy who has since moved on. Now it's a small team who drop semi-regular updates on github. Also, it runs on Linux
I'm finding it hard to stick to one game in particular these past few days (weeks?).
I've been going back to my play through of Divinity: Original Sin 2 and I find the story is getting somewhat less interesting after reaching the second to last act/location (and fights are less challenging now, which isn't as fun imo).
I've also been playing a bit of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and it's more appealing than I anticipated - I'm just annoyed by recurring shader comp and loading stutters on PC...
I'm kind of in the mood for a shorter game, but my backlog is far too dense to pick anything easily.
I'm playing Death Stranding. I've been waiting some years and I'm finally giving it a go.
It have many similarities with MGSV which is good. It feels like a well made game.
I just finished Dark Souls 1/2/3 100%, so as a pallet cleanser, I'm back to metroidvanias with Dust.
Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.
Starting up a new run in Vintage Story (with mods!) while on a break from Ender Magnolia. Landed on the the mother of all starter zones. Might just make it to endgme this time :)
Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.
I've played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you're into that sort of thing.
Hey! Quit stealing my ideas!
Just kidding. Looking forward to see where this goes.
(Not sure if you actually stole it but I’ve been doing it in !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works for a while now)
Ope sorry! Didn't mean to step on any toes, just hadn't seen one pop up since I left Reddit!
Elden ring nightreign. I've beaten 3 nightlords with randoms.
In between playing Infamous: Second Son and Super Mario 64...just playing SM64 for giggles.
Halls of Torment is nice
I just started Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga. It's a weird one and I love it! The atmosphere is incredible and the systems are really fun right out of the gate.
I also have a playthrough of Trails in the Sky SC going on and it's so charming. Great turn based combat too.
Aaaand I also tried out Slay the Spire for the first time to kill some time here and there and I have to say this thing should be regulated. So adictive!
Deliver At All Costs - fun game, but I swear the plot is just an excuse to feature those wonderful destruction mechanics.
Robocop - Actually not bad! I haven"t seen or played anything Robocop related in 30ish years, but I'll be damned if this game doesn't make you feel exactly like him ( for better or worse )
Pacific Drive - finally managed to finish this one after starting and abandoning it twice because it's just terrifying to me. ( I just had to start it again after reading Roadside Picnic and thinking "hey, this reads familiar" ). It's still terrifying, but absolutely great game.
Now I'm playing Kingdoms&Castles and Starbound again to calm the fuck down.
Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.
So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.
I'm in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.
