I'm 60 hours deep into Balders Gate 3 so I've been trying to chill out and not play until full release next week. Ive been having a lot of fun with Dave the Diver in the meantime.
I play a weekly dnd session. I've been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I'd check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.
I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.
I'm exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.
Playing outer wilds for the first time. I’m kinda stuck but I don’t want to look up a guide in case I see spoilers!
Try doing something else for a while, go see other planets, other leads you've been following. A lot of places I thought I was stuck in I later realized it was a part of a different puzzle elsewhere in the game.
Where are you stuck?
Last piece of advice, don't give up on the game. It's one of those games where you'll be glad you finished it.
I am hopelessly addicted to Battlebit Remastered
Dave The Diver.
I'm still on Death Stranding like last week. I can't get enough of this game, though I wish the Director's Cut version was available on Game Pass
I just got Tears of the Kingdom. I was able to go in completely blind (other than knowing what the main powers are) and hooooly shit it's amazing.
If Breath of the Wild was inspired by Zelda 1, this game is the Link to the Past version.
I miss Stasis and the remote bombs though. I wish they also kept my house. I just got my horses back.
It's a great game but a terrible sequel. Granted, I'm only up to the 3rd "dungeon" now but I dont see it coming up with a plot to tie it better with BOTW.
It was so hard to dodge spoilers! I also went in mostly blind, and it's been pure joy. But also... feeling a bit overwhelmed! There's SO MUCH to explore and do, and I have serious anxiety that I'm going to miss things or forget to go back somewhere.
TF2 has recently released an update that allows server owners to have up to 100 players connected at once. Not officially supported, but up to 64 players seems to be stable enough (even more so if you run a server plugin to remove player cosmetics). So that's been taking my attention recently. 64 player SZF was gloriously chaotic.
I've been getting into the Green Lantern superhero, so I bought the 3DS and X360 games. 360 game is still on it's way, but personally I can confirm that the 3DS game is typical of what you'd expect from a licensed game. Really low frame rate (10s to 20s) the second anything is on screen alongside Green Lantern, which makes me wonder how the DS version of the game ran if at all. It does have some neat things going for it, the combat it is alright despite the low fps, but really It's just a time waster for by breaks at work. I also impulse bought the Heroclix Sinestro Corps War Sinario Pack, and maybe I'll get a friend to indulge me with a game or two.
I've been playing Divinity Original Sin 2, in anticipation of Baldur's Gate 3. I got to the start of Act 2 about four years ago, and just never came back to the game. I always meant to pick it back up, so I started a fresh character and am nearly back to that point now.
Remnant 2, I usually don't play games on release but I had to make an exception for this one, it's so good.
A play though of Baldur's Gate 1 while I wait for the 3rd one to release.
Hi all, I'm Nailbar, and I am now a Subnautica addict.
Hi Nailbar.
I've tried 10-15 times to finish it on hardcore mode. The most recent time, I was killed by a warper bringing up my last load from the lost river trying to finish the rocket and I literally can't any more.
I picked up Scorn last week to try out on my Steam Deck and it’s been an awesome journey through a Giger-esque universe.
Also, I don’t care what people think, I’ve been farting around in Diablo 4.
My partner got me Far Cry 6 for my birthday, I've really been enjoying it
I recently set up a private Valheim server for me and a friend. So far it's great fun. We just made it to the mountains tier. It's a bit grindy, but a very fun and relaxed grind.
I've been running through Into the Radius. It's in the easily top 3 VR games for me, it's does a incredible job at immersing you into the world which is basically like Stalker. Coming back from harder missions I've felt mentally exhausted just from how stressful it can get. But that stress is so addictive.
Returned to Warframe after a long time and got blasted with so much content it is difficult to decide where to start.
It is fun tho, and much more enjoyable because I have so many possibilities of content to enjoy.
Still playing Persona 5 Royal. Man I love Persona games.
Trackmania! I'm trying to get better and I've been playing for the past few months, I have mostly silvers on the summer campaign now!
Hades it turns is quite beatable with a bow even if your reflexes are not great. And Control for whne i need more chill.
And for some reason I cannot kick my decade long Nhl habit.
Recently I started playing Darkest Dungeon again. Such a great game but sometimes it will break your heart.
Cult of the Lamb. I beat it back in November but picked it up again after the developers added a lot. I've been enjoying my replay. The new additions and changes fixed some of the things that annoyed me on my first playthrough.
Lots and lots of TOTK combined with OSRS!
Hunt: Showdown. 1500hrs in. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Oh and also some THPS2 on my Anbernic RG35XX, love that little handheld.
Baldurs gate 3. Thought it would be more complete since it's coming out soon. Still good though.
I've always had trouble getting into these isometric rpgs for some reason. Divinity, wasteland, old baldurs gate, even dragon age origins. Somehow the disconnect between the control and the character gets to me.
I'm going to try to get deep enough into this one though so that the story can actually shine through
I'm playing Subnautica: Below Zero and I'm enjoying it very much. Even compared to the first one. It even runs better on my modest rig and I don't mind the new additions as much as some people seemingly did. Playing those games without checking infos/wikis on the net is what make them specials imo (just like Outer Wilds). It's all about the sense of wonder and figuring out stuff by yourself.
How does the exploration feel? I loved the original Subnautica but reviews of Below Zero turned me off.
To add: I thought Below Zero felt more "designed" than the original. The biomes feel less natural, the progression is a bit more obvious, the story guides you along quite a bit more. Even just the vehicle progression makes it a little less satisfying to explore around—finding a route to get the cyclops through small cave systems was just amazing.
I ended up treating it more like a game and less like a survival sandbox, if that makes sense. I was given goals rather than finding them.
Just got out of almost 3 years of nonstop genshin. I'm currently looking for a game to mindlessly 100%, like an assassin's creed game for example.
It the meantime I'm trying to beat all spirits spiritless in Smash bros. Will start Xenoblade 2 in september, already got XC3 ready
You might enjoy the new Zelda game
Jagged Alliance 3. I loved JA2 1.13 to death, and while JA3 kinda pales in comparison so far, I do love the fresh content. Hope modding will take off for it.
I'm trying to play the lastest Duviri Paradox in Warframe, but man this is such a boring slog. Imagine if you took the most horrible clunky combat from the Soulsborne games and combined it with the most infuriatingly random roguelike RNG, and then you added the most insane grind to it in order to make your character not instantly die from the weakest of enemies.
Needless to say, I do love Warframe, but by the gods I thoroughly hate the Duviri Paradox with a passion I usually just reserve for Soulsborne games.
I’m having fun with Jedi Fallen Order on my Steamdeck. One thing that caught me off guard is how imho good the facial animations are…but maybe I don’t play that much aaa anymore so that may be standard nowdays.
Went back to RDR2, almost 75 hours in and still not even close to finishing main story.
Pikmin 4. It's real good. I was always more interested in the environmental puzzles than the combat so the lower difficulty suits me just fine. I got to credits yesterday, then ::: spoiler turns out there's a whole extra pikmin 1 campaign in there and seems like at least one more area in the main campaign. Must save Oatchi! :::
Been halfassing Yakuza 3. Really I probably could have plowed through already but ehhh
I plucked up my courage and I started Resident Evil 2 Remake. I finished Leon part. Doubting if play Claire part or not. Also I finished Inscryption. I'm now trying to finish the Warzone 2 battle pass since It ends in a few days.
Definitely do play Claire's part! It's not as long, and there are some repetitive parts, but it does add more to the story and introduce some new characters (if you're not already familiar with the original or the franchise in general).
Stardew valley and mini motorways. Recently finished hue which is a nice little puzzle game. Still need to finish just cause 3
