Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Similar experience here. The game is very impressive and immersive.
I was halfway in ACT II only to realize that I haven’t even met with Gale (a companion that you can recruit). I went back to do the Gale’s quest recently and discovered what practically counted for me as 10 hours of new content in ACT I.
Now, I think I concluded the story lines of ACT I and can move back to ACT II.
That’s one of the few HD2D that looks good to me. In my opinion, Octopath is way too dark, sepia toned, and saturated. It’s not a very pretty game in my eyes. In Star Ocean and Live A Live, the characters don’t look like they fit in the world; the difference between the 3D environments and the pixel characters is too stark. But I’m quite interested in DQ3.
I’ve been giving Blood a go, I missed out on a lot of shooters back in the day so when I play them now you can see how many modern games were inspiresd by these old giants, it’s also really obvious why people love this game and have used it for inspiration
I’m still playing Project Zomboid at the moment, it’s very intriguing when you make the zombie slower and more fragile, but double their population. 1v10 is doable this way, but a missed swing still mean death lol.
I did 2 survival runs in the last year, both near Rosewood, I had never been and it was nice to have a change of scenery. Can’t wait for the next big update, I’ll be back for another run for sure! We used these settings on our dedicated server:
1200% reading speed
250% XP
Higher Weapon spawn
Lower Generator fuel consumption
Cars have a higher change to have a little gas in them
Rosewood is nice, there’s a very easily defensible place i can hole up, a bit out of the town center so it doesn’t have high concentration of zombies, and near a police and fire station so weapon(fire axe, gun) is easy to come by.
Though the helicopter event will make you get trapped inside a place you can’t escape lol.
Baldur’s Gate 3. Still my first run with a friend, we do not want this to end at all. We take our time as much as we can, exploring everything. It’s so much fun, we’re absolutely into the story.
I can’t imagine the feeling of emptiness once we finish this.
Still playing Stationeers.
If you want detailed survival game, Stationeers is it.
Grind for ores to smelt and make parts.
Blow up your base, cause you forgot ice melts in your hand.
Suffocate cause you forgot to close your helmet when you left your base.
Did you turn that gas mixer off?
What’s that noi…
The shooter? I know of it, I’ve seen Civvie11’s videos on it; haven’t tried it myself yet. In the same vein, I have played Cultic, which is very similar and also a pretty good game (underselling it).
On my second playthrough of the witcher series and on witcher 3 now, and man… I’ve missed this game! What I didn’t miss however was that goddamn leshen in velen. On my first time playing w3 I got massacred by it, this time I remembered roughly where it was, and while on my way to a side quest I did my best to avoid it. Well, I ride around in the forest, trying to remember where it was, I run into it. I see him just in time to stop and wait for him to walk away from me before moving on myself. Unfortunately his wolves noticed me and I had to make a run for it. Managed to get away alive and paused the game to take a little breather and to vent to my roommate. After unpausing the game, the freaking leshen teleported right in front of me! Had to make a run for it again, and wait for it to leave the area so I could continue my quest. Leshens are the truly terrifying monsters in the witcher, and I love their design, just don’t love running into them (especially with a high level difference). Still, this has once again made me think about getting a leshen tattoo.
There’s that, but also, it didn’t come out on PS5. There will be fanboys jumping on the negativity train because they want an Xbox exclusive to look bad.
(I’ll be playing on PC, but the console wars are still very much alive and well for some players)

I’m enjoying every minute of BG3. Taking it slow and savoring it. Explore an area, finish an encounter, long rest and then stop.

Final Fantasy 7 OG with HD textures and Echo-S mod (full voice acting).
It is a much better game than the so-called remake.
Why do you feel the remake is bad
I don’t think the remake is a bad game, but I enjoy the original better because:
I feel like what they did to FF7 is what they’d do if they ever remade Chrono Trigger, and that’s why I’m pretty against a remake of that one.
I am hoping that the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake will sell well, so Square-Enix will remake Chrono Trigger in the same style.

Very cool! Check out F.E.A.R.! Cool level design, story, pretty decent AI. Old but gold. Also scary ;-)
I have played Fear! I think I’ve played both 1 and 2, they were great run and gun games
Pokemon Black 2. Always, forever.

Big Ambitions dropped EA 0.3 last week. So I am retro fitting all my retail outlets with security while setting up the new stores and HQ employees.
I’m nearing the end of Graveyard Keeper. Pretty fun so far!

This is the first time I hear about this game. Checking it out, it definitely looks like something I’d enjoy. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Dusk, not sure if anyone here knows about it though. Pretty good game.
Too fast for an old man

Battlefield 2 online, Starcraft II and Halo CE

I’m stuck in a loop of League Of Legends and Escape from Tarkov. I hate myself for it but they are both so addicting I always want more.
Starfield. Trying to stay away from some of the negativity online about it to not to make me aware of my own poor standards and am loving it so far.
I’m convinced there’s so much negativity online because the people who are enjoying it are so sucked in that we aren’t online.
I already have 32 hours. 😬
