Lots of sf6, getting ready for my trip to Evo.
Supersymmetry minecraft modpack, it's an alpha gregtech Minecraft modpack, pretty cool (a youtuber is doing a supersymmetry smp tomorrow, and I'm gonna be in)
Nox Archaist - Wasn't expecting much, was blown away. Definetily not for everyone, but personally I think it's the most engaging game I've played this year. Surpasses even Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
And just to make it clear: this is not a shit post. I really enjoy Nox Archaist so much.
Played through Persona 4 Golden this week and to fix my post persona depression I started Persona 5 Royal today.
I've been playing a lot of rainbow six siege quick play and call of duty MW2's DMZ game modes. I feel like one gives me the tactical fair shooter, and the other gives me a meaningfully paced combat loop.
Im a little pissed that the battle pass for diablo 4 doesn't work with my regular character. I just feel so estranged from that game since it costed so much and the combat and tasks just felt so dry. I guess the upside is that I have 90 days of the pass to hack away at it which isn't terribly pressing. I just wish their monetization strategy was like Halo Infinites battle passes where you could choose which one to progress 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.
Been playing a lot of vampire survivors this week, it's quite relaxing after a long work day. But it's pikmin 4 day now, that'll be my whole weekend.
BattleBit and Fifa23
Nothing at the moment because I bought a new GPU and power supply, and somehow borked my whole computer just installing than.
TES Skyrim - It's like a hideout for the past 11 years. Grim Dawn - Use it to get rid of the stress. The Sims 3 - When I want to build something.
Currently trying to get through FFXVI, but there are times it feels like a slog. Am in the midst of one if these low points right now.
As for what I’ll be playing, my StepmaniaX compact machine shows up tomorrow, so I’ll have that to assemble and play.
Actually finished both my current games and a freebie.
Luigi's Mansion 3 started great but its pacing feels bizarre by the end. The floors started feeling pretty long and then you have two boss only flaws in a row, then a good floor followed by two more boss floors. Maybe busting out so many variations hurt it be size the ordinary floors always felt the most enjoyable.
Tunic started off enjoyable but the gameplay never hit and the last secret I did made me angry with how it was presented.
Nearing the end of Trails of Cold Steel IV after spending the past several months working my way from Cold Steel I. I'm planning to get Trails into Reverie at some point, but will probably play the fan-translated Kuro no Kiseki first.
Have you played liberl and crossbell? Over covid I played all of them up to cold steel 3. Waited until 4 released but I think by the time it did I realized I was pretty burned out on it. Also heard some negative things about kuro so wasn't really too eager to try.
Star citizen.Tried it during the free fly event, loved it. Even though it's a piece of shit, it is one of the best pieces of shit I have ever seen/played.
Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.
I was playing Arkham Asylum since it was the only Arkham game I didn't finish as yet
This week has been keeping up with Honkai Star Rail dailies. I haven't done the new patch content yet, but I'm just spending my energy getting resources and leveling my team.
Beyond that, I've been grinding some casual matches in Street Fighter 6. My local card shop is hosting a small tournament on Saturday, and I at least want my BnB combos to land. I don't think I'll win, but playing in Platinum is at least showing me where my weaknesses are.
Last but not least, I got Baldur's Gate 3 for the early access bit. It's fun, if a bit slow, and can be pretty punishing. Not sure if I'll play the full game by save scumming or just living (and dying) with the consequences of my actions.
Started playing through Far Cry 6 w a friend
Been playing wrath of the righteous and Ghost Of Tsushima
Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.
I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.
Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.
I used to be a destiny addict as well. I quit almost 10 months ago now and I’m happier for it. Games that aren’t live service feel more fun to me. I’ve been playing a bunch of different games now after just playing the one for so long. (Satisfactory, Gunfire Reborn, Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2, and Fortnite no build or overwatch when I want to shoot real digital people )
I certainly don't blame you! I've pretty much taken a break from it this season, haven't even gotten a chance to finish the new dungeon. I did pick up Deep Rock Galactic during the summer sale, and its been fun so far!
Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i'm struggling my way through it
I just bought a wheel and shifter, so I've just been cruising around in Forza.
Mainly trying to get used to it because it's not the same as driving irl.
Asseto Corsa Competizione, back into it after a while. Working on my new profile's safety rating to be eligible for some leagues. The newer cars are fun, but I keep getting taken out by lower rank players which is making progress slow.
I will probably load up Transport Fever 2 this weekend. I got it on Summer Sale and really enjoyed the 2-3 hours or so I've put into it so far.
Should probably squealeze in some Diablo 3 but not very motivated. Also, very excited for Baldur's Gate 3 finally coming out. Gonna Bard it up!
I just finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but an entertaining turn-based party-based rpg, with an emphasis on tongue-in-cheek humor. I recommend it if you like that sort of thing.
Finally picked up God of War last week on sale, so I've started that now for the first time. Liking it so far after just around 2-1/2 hours, and looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.
Picked up a copy of battlebit 2 weeks ago. Managed to get maybe one hour in so far.
I don’t see it here so I’ll say Gran Turismo 7 with the PSVR 2 and I have a really nice wheel and seat mount. It’s the best sim racing experience I’ve had to date.
