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.
Coaltown needs more commuters, that smog isnt going to make itself. Agrarville needs more land for crops, which sucks for all of the residents who i think i’ll drop a natural disaster on top of. Industopia needs more cashflow for a harbor, and the city planning advisor will never shut up about adding more rail and road connections.
Finished the New Game Plus for Alan Wake 2 (PS5) and got the platinum. Now i am back on Grime (PC) which is fun. I like how I dont lose all my money when i die. Also, im actually not bad at parrying here like i am in most games.
I also bought some games from the Steam Winter Sale. Started Overboard and Word Factori.
I played the one, all the way to the big fight at the end, failed it and got too exhausted to reload and redo it… But it was a really good game though , it’s true! Is the 2 as good/better?
“The 2” is the best RPG I have ever played in my life. The combat system and the overall style of the game is famazing! I especially loved all the cheese.
Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.8.3.0 – Build 264901. This patch was released on 14 November 2023. It is the last patch of Update 8 development, bringing its features to the stable branch.
Ah jeeez, I’ve totally missed that… Might have to dive in again after I’m done with Jedi: Survivor then… I think Update 5 was the last time I played now.
I was almost interested in Season of Discovery but then I remember Blizzard’s (lack of a) policy on bots. For me it really devalues the time and effort I put into the game when a quarter of the playerbase are botting and ruining the economy.
I’ve been playing the Mario RPG remake. I remember loving the game as the kid, but as I get to each part of the game I’m like “Damnit, I hate this level!”, and it happens over and over again and I’m like “wait, why do I like this game? I hate this game.”
With that said I’m still playing it because I’m almost done with it so I may as well finish it.
It’s easier than I remember, but I also played the original when I was like 10 years old, so maybe it used to be more difficult because I wasn’t as good at video games when I was 10.
I’m excited to finish it because I have an OLED Steam Deck on the way, and I’m trying to sort out what I’m going to play first. Any suggestions for controller friendly games that run well on the deck? I think Dave the Diver is near the top of that list. I’m not to keen on playing first person shooters with joysticks, that’s what my PC is for.
If you’re in the mood for something more story based, I just played Disco Elysium on my deck and it was incredible. I’m currently slow burning my way through BG3 on it which is also a good experience but it requires some fiddling to get it running nicely.
INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.
Just finished the Alan Wake Remaster. Really hated it, but apparently that is an unpopular opinion. I just felt like the story is not as innovative as people say and the mechanics are the same from the start to the finish.
I’m now playing Dredge. Really enjoying that game right now. I’m traveling so my Steam Deck is getting some use. I’ll be switching between Dredge and Cult of the Lamb while I’m away.
Something good given the insanely good reviews the original and the remake got. I’m just saying I disagreed and didn’t enjoy the game. What’s your end goal with this comment? Are you agreeing with me? Are you calling me dumb? Are you okay?
I have given Alan Wake so many tries but I get so bored by the whole into sequence. I think it suffers from the many (novel at the time) video game tropes of the late 2000s.
It’s odd because I absolutely love Max Payne despite it being much older.
I just finished Remnant 2, and started playing it again with a different class on my PS5, but have to stop cause I am traveling. I picked up Dragon Dogma on the deck and I hated it for the first 30 minutes, but I am into it now.
Cyberpunk 2077 phantom liberty. It’s really good, like, better than most of the story in the vanilla game. It’s a really cool detective story that really fleshes out V’s character.
Getting back into Monster Hunter World! Trying to tackle those endgame Iceborne quests and getting my ass kicked quite often. It’s really satisfying getting a good build going with armor set bonuses and stacking skills.
Also finally playing Super Mario Odyssey. What a game. The controls are so tight and responsive. I love exploring every nook and cranny, high and low, and almost always getting some kind of reward out of every effort and idea.

Fun times.

I finished Baldur’s Gate 3, so i fell in the post-great-game melancholy. I reinstalled Hades and Stardew Valley, but ya know
Did you play Larian´s Divinity: Original Sin II yet? It might ease your pain a lot and it´s on -70% right now.

I just started a nude dark urge run and it really changes the game up.
WoW Classic: Season of Discovery, and I recently started my second playthrough of Satisfactory now that Update 8 is out.
Is there any word of Update 8 to stable yet?
Update 8 is on stable. From the wiki

Just recently started playing rimworld and I’m super hooked. Trying to complete the game vanilla first then dive into modding

Playing the invincible, try to go in without looking into the story too much. I’m liking it so far.
Unravel 2 and Darq …Amazing games
Just finished the Alan Wake Remaster. Really hated it, but apparently that is an unpopular opinion. I just felt like the story is not as innovative as people say and the mechanics are the same from the start to the finish.

It’s a game from 2010… What were you expecting?
The game was outdated when it launched after Uncharted 2.
Something good given the insanely good reviews the original and the remake got. I’m just saying I disagreed and didn’t enjoy the game. What’s your end goal with this comment? Are you agreeing with me? Are you calling me dumb? Are you okay?
The game is 13 years old. You should have tempered your expectations.
The remaster game out a couple years ago and metacritic’ed for 80. So no, I don’t think I really needed to “temper my expectations”. https://www.metacritic.com/game/alan-wake-remastered/

I wanna get back into MHW, but those unskippable cutscenes at the beginning are a PITA
I felt the same! Luckily if you’re on PC there’s a mod you can easily install that allows you to skip cutscenes and it works very smoothly.
