Weekend just hit again and I’m looking forward to diving back into Tunic this Sunday. I’m a good way through it, but can only play an hour or so at a time.
I was honestly unimpressed to begin with, but the overall vibe, and detail of the manual pages, won me over.
I’m 25 hours into FO: New Vegas so will be continuing that. I have finally got into it on this, my third attempt to do so.
I used the viva new Vegas mod guide and everything has run so smoothly and generally been a great experience so far so slowly making my way through it and finally enjoying it :D
I finally 100% Arkham Knight after 9 years, completing all the Community Challenges trophies, including Requiem for a Killer challenge (the one where you have to do a 400±combo in a endless combat challenge to reach and defeat the secret boss).
Think I’m gonna install Red Dead Redemption 2 next. Finished RDR for the first time last year and wanna finish the sequel, which I started a few years back on the PS4 but dropped.
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t discount the franchise. Personally I prefer civ 4 over civ 6, and civ 4 has the bonuses of 1) being the only video game to ever win a Grammy award and 2) extensive voice work by Leonard Nimoy
Too clunky and slow paced for me compared to previous installments. Also not a huge fan of how the different victory conditions/requirements were balanced compared to older games. They just crammed too many new mechanics in there for the game to flow like it used to. If you’ve never played civ before these things may not even bother you since you have no previous experience with earlier installments to compare it to.
I’ll back up that Civ 4 has been the best entry in the series so far.
Civ 5 is when they dropped unit stacking, which made combat much slower and more finicky since you couldn’t just build up a massive deathball and tear across the map, and Civ 6 doubled down on that design space by tying city upgrades to individual tiles as well. They’re not bad changes, and they do add more strategic depth to the combat and city-building, but they do make an already slow game substantially slower, since combats that used to be done in a turn or two now require several turns of rotating and repositioning units to get them in and out of the fight.
Civ 4 was the last “pure” civ experience, building off and adding to the previous games without sweeping mechanical changes to shake up the meta.

A gaming community 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.
I’m
impatiently waiting for next week-end when the Elden Ring DLC releases. It counts if I have to wait, right?Boom Blox Bash Party with the wife and maybe House of the Dead Returns

Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Heroes of the Storm, Pizza Tower, and DnD!
I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.
Still spreading managed democracy in Helldivers 2. Waiting for the Elden Ring DLC to land though!
I’m about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!
FOR THE CHILDREN! 🫡
That’s not very patient gamer of you lol
Sakuna on the Nintendo Switch. It was on sale and I wanted to try it for a long time.

I started the game Playing Kafka. It is a small and free game on iOS and Steam, but it’s really good.
I am playing Max Payne on my iPad too. It creates a retro vibe.
I am playing Monster Hunter: Rise too, When I have nothing to do, I take out my Switch Lite and defeat the monsters.
civ6! ive never played civilization before, but my kid says its great and it was on sale for 3$

I liked 5 because a few large cities (going tall) was way more viable, which I prefer over making tons of little cities (going wide).
what did you not like about 6?

thanks! ill try 4 if 6 seems annoying with those characteristics

I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.
Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to experience TotK for the first time again. You’re in for a great time. :)
We’ll see you in a few weeks mate.
I finally played through it earlier this year, well worth the wait.
Probably Bowser‘s Fury (Switch), Balatro or Trine 5 (PC), and Marsupilami (Deck) for me!
Damn up to Trine 5, better dive back in
Civilization III
