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.
Playing on my Project Zomboid server, water and power just cut out but my dude is not handy enough to operate generators, so I’ll have to scramble and go find my that “how to use generators” manual with the fuel I have left, just to get the fridge back up and running. And muldraugh itself is becoming pretty barren, so it’s gonna be the next town over 😅
I started helping a friend with his first playthrough of Elden Ring and I’ve been completely sucked back in. I’ve got a couple new characters going now
Not about videogames, but my master announced that our DnD campaign will be put on hiatus after the current arc is finished, as he doesn’t have time anymore to prep.
I’m considering mastering a short campaign, but it’s really difficult. I don’t like half-assing things and I end up spending too much time on prep, and eventually stop having fun.
It’s also a very heterogeneous group this time around, compared to the last time I mastered a campaign, which makes things a bit more difficult.
I’m still playing BG3: I’ve just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I’m finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I’m also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we’ll see how that comes along.
Every time I try to role play as an evil protagonist I start feeling bad for NPCs or get fomo about rewards I’ll be missing. Not sure if I’ve gone full evil since Fable 1.
Started playing The Lamplighters League after seeing that it’s on game pass. Also still playing Sea of Stars,where I just defeated the Dweller, and now feel betrayed 😭
I’m on my second attempt at playing Dark Souls 1 on PC. I know it’s a meme but holy moly does this game not give a fuck about you. Lately I’ve been trying to play games on harder difficulties and avoid guides in order to be forced to utilize every mechanic, but Dark Souls is breaking me.
The lack of direction the player is given and unforgiving gameplay is too much for me though. I’ve resorted to looking up tips on combat, builds, and items, and how to progress now and again.
Overall though it’s a lot of fun. The enemies are so well designed and every time I see a miniboss waiting for me in the distance my butt clenches, which is a very fun experience that not many games are able to deliver.
I still think there are aspects of the game that are needlessly frustrating. Some enemies seem like a cruel joke, mainly the freaking ghosts that move and attack through walls. Also I wish there was more direction, NPCs I could talk to or something that would give me ideas on where I should be going. Wandering around and dying repeatedly is only fun for so long imo.
I’m glad a game like this exists for people who are not whiny wusses like me though.
It took me three attempts for me to finally enjoy it, and get through the whole game, I feel you. The game’s high barrier to entry is its biggest flaw.I’m glad you’re enjoying it
I don’t know how far you’ve gotten, but unless you’re reasonably far through the game, you should not go to see those ghosts. Try going back to the start, and then upwards.
Currently going around between Assassin‘s Creed Unity, NFS Heat, and Tales of Arise.
ACU sometimes feels like I‘m not in control (and stealth as such random) and the parkour controls do a lot of stuff I don‘t want it to, but the story‘s nice and Paris is beautiful to jump around in.
NFS Heat is also beautiful especially in HDR, the driving feels good enough. Biggest downside to me is the cop AI, if there‘s no ramp to jump off of, they keep rubberbanding back onto me and it‘s annoying. The map can also feel very empty.
Lastly, Tales of Arise. I love the characters and the story, but I‘ll never warm up to Tales‘ combat. It‘s the best iteration yet, just doesn‘t click with me. Says a lot about the characters and the story that I‘m going through regardless. Another nitpick is that cities could really use more dynamic. Lots of wax figures. Aside from
that, it looks great (after a few ini tweaks) and runs great!

Darktide, new update is fantastic and really changed how the game feels. Haven’t been this excited about it since before the release
Hmm, cool thanks for sharing, I’ll check it out!

You gotta put “game” or “dungeon” in front of the word “master” for this my dude.

I gave 0 A.D. a try. Libre 3D AoE “clone” that looks better than AoE4. Feels really good though tbf I never really got into AoE

Forza for exactly 30 minutes. And I won’t continue.

I played a bit at release. Have they finished the game yet?
I didn’t play during release after it’s poor reception, but I’m having alot of fun with it atm. And licked it up for $38AUD, a good bargain imo.

Cyberpunk 2077, really love the story and character interactions. Still buggy as hell though lol.
Still after all this time? What platform?
