Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.
So! What are you playing this week?
I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)
Also still haven’t beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first
I’ve been playing this ‘medieval’ mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn’t seem well tuned in parts.
I’ve also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn’t quite nail it overall. That’s almost more frustrating to be honest.
I’ve primarily been playing Celeste and been enjoying it. I made it to the summit and now I’m going back through and trying to find all the strawberries, cassettes, and crystals without a guide and beat the B-Side levels. It’s kind of a slog though, so I’ll probably resort to using a guide eventually.
Other than that I’ve been dabbling a bit with Elden Ring and GTA V and playing stuff like Pizza Possum and Plate Up with my fiancé.
Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.
I’ve played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you’re into that sort of thing.
Starting up a new run in Vintage Story (with mods!) while on a break from Ender Magnolia. Landed on the the mother of all starter zones. Might just make it to endgme this time :)
If you get any kind of consistency, you should reach out to the mods and get it added to the sidebar. I like having a thread like this in a gaming community.
I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance in anticipation of the sequel, which I already bought. I feel like I never know when the next opportunity to do side quests will be, so I found a good break in the story around main story quest 8-ish, and I’m just doing those for a while. The first couple of missions set some false expectations for what this game is and what you’ll have to put up with, but it becomes much more straight forward after that.
I’ve also been going through the Borderlands games ahead of that series’ sequel, and I just got to Borderlands 3. Man, that game feels great to play. It’s been interesting to play through these games so rapid fire, because whatever my criticism was of the previous game, the developers also knew about it and addressed it in the next game. I hear the writing takes a turn for the worst in this game, but the first few hours are more than tolerable so far.
And for quicker sessions, I’ve also been playing through Devil May Cry 4. I started playing through these games back when Hi-Fi Rush completely floored me, and then some other games came out, and I put DMC4 down for a while. Now that I picked it up again, it’s still great, but I’m not really sure what to do with Nero’s revving mechanic.
Why are you trying to wean your girlfriend off of Strive? I love me some +R too, but both of those games are great!
Remnant 2. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m having a good time. The systems are pretty complex and unexplained so I just equip things that seem cool. So far so good! Thanks to other players joining my game I’ve been able to solve the puzzles, which honestly I would have had to lookup solutions for if I were only playing solo.
Its been awhile since I’ve played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.
I’ve only found two that were movable. I don’t know if I’m somehow missing them or something? I think I’m a decent way into the game. I’m at the point where you actually go into the castle and talk to the duke or whatever.
I think there’s 5 movable stones, and only one missable. But very few stationary ones. If it’s nagging you enough, there’s some mods, one gives infinite stamina outside combat.
Now that you put it like that, I think what puts me off is all the melee and glory kills. Not my cup of tea. I need my social distancing from hellspawn. That, and the puny amounts of ammo. When I play a boomer shooter, I want to shoot. If I wanted melee, I’d play Mortal Kombat or something.
The lack of ammo is solved with the chainsaw. That’s why they give you puny zombies in every battle. They’re easy to kill for a little health, and it only takes one charge of the chainsaw to fill up on ammo.
Doom rewards you for playing aggressively, much more so that the OG game did. They want you to get right up into the thick of it, not corner peek with your shotgun.
Definitely fair if that’s not your type of game though. It’s plays quite different from the original.

Patient gamer here. Playing Skyrim for the first time and having a blast.
I’ve sunk nearly 800 hours on it.
Good luck.
Oh nice. Just remember to hydrate and get some sleep. It’s so easy to lose hours to that game!

Hahahaha relatable.

Surprised someone mentioned it. I’m playing it too. Quite captivating game.
DOOM Dark Ages. I’m about halfway through.

Revisiting GTA 5. Doing some multiplayer in Minecraft
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.

And remember: Wolfs hunt in packs!
Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.
Finally installed Doom 2016. It’s nice, but the gameplay is not clicking with me.
I prefer the way Doom 2016 looks and sounds, but Eternal is the more fun game I think.
I love games where the loop just goes shoot the other guy and not be shot yourself. (Also punch when they glow) (also saw when no ammo)

Core Keeper with my gf and Children of Morta/PUBG casuals with a friend. A bit of PAYDAY 3 with a group.
I’ve been addicted to Balatro. And Balatro is addicted to me.

Same, been trying for gold stake on all decks. I’m up to purple stake green deck right now, wish me luck!
