Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Starfield is a classic case of some misleading marketing on purpose, and, well, it just falls into the perpetually doomed category of games/media that will always suffer from extremely high expectations: sci-fi/space/cyberpunk. The imagination wanders especially far with games like these, and there’s little to none us, the consumers, and they, the devs and publishers, can ever do about it.
That being said, you’re right in not praising the game. It’s a niche fun in my opinion, and only shines if you take it for what it is, but not for what it seemed to have been marketed as.
TL;DR Stafield is a Bethesda game through and through, but with a coating some Microsoft PG-13 “play it safe” attitude.
Funnily enough playing BotW on CEMU was what got me to get a switch, it was just so good I wanted to play it without any caveats or messing with settings or working around the gyro controls and the allure of playing it portably anywhere was high.
The only problem I’m having now is the gyro controls . Only found one temple so far that needs it but I’ll probably be able to get that works with one of my controllers .
Starfield and Final Fantasy 14. Both have been hard to find time for with general lack of time in life.
Starfield: still enjoying it a lot. I know it is going to bore me eventually, but for now the exploration and personal narrative I’ve been rolling with have been enough to keep me interested.
FF14: My static fell apart and we’ve given up on Savage raiding for this tier. There is a huge backlog of activities I haven’t been able to do this whole time while Savage prog occupied 90% of my time in-game, but now I can’t choose where to start.
I just picked up Shadow of the Tomb Raider after not having touched a Tomb Raider game since PS1, and still never finishing them. It’s pretty good! It feels a lot like God of War but with Lara Croft. Makes me want to pick up the previous iterations to get more of the story, since I’m a bit lost, but it’s easy to fill in some of the blanks.
Armored core 6. Finished one ending yesterday and on ng+ today. I’m way more invested in faceless characters than I thought I could be and there was an unexpected anime like fight that hit me in the feels
I randomly got hit with the urge to play the ps2 mascot games. I’ve started picking them up for cheap to rip and load onto my Steam Deck. I’ve finished the first Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper games. Now started on Going Commando, with plans for the rest of both of their ps2 games and the Jak and Daxter trilogy. I’ve played all of Ratchet and Jak before but Sly is new to me, minus maybe half of his 4th game.
And still chugging through BG3 with my wife. It’s been hard getting time for the longer play sessions it requires lately but we’ll get through it eventually.
I’m leaveling up all my familys’ favorite ssx tricky characters cause otherwise we all play as Moby when I visit (the only character I play as normally). Mac, Kaori, JP. Probably won’t be unlocking uber-boards on all of them, but we’ll see

Xenogears using EmulationStation on Steamdeck.
Dope game so far, been a while since I played a good old school jrpg.
Loving Starfield! Its not perfect but still very fun 😀
Street fighter v
Starfield and Brotato
Getting bored. Starfield is just a buggy mediocre FPS. Everything else in it is giving me serious ‘no man’s sky’ vibes and not in a good way.

Diablo 3 season 29 started last Friday and loving it!
Finally solo self found leaderboards!
Also enjoying the seasons theme, small areas with random mobs, elites, gobs and rift guardians.
Having more fun than playing D4.
Got yuzu running on Ubuntu so I’m finally play breath of the wild ! I don’t normally pirate games but I don’t want to buy a switch for one game .
Funnily enough playing BotW on CEMU was what got me to get a switch, it was just so good I wanted to play it without any caveats or messing with settings or working around the gyro controls and the allure of playing it portably anywhere was high.

Crab champions and classic wow
Crab champions is great. I love Noisestorm’s music.
