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.
Working on 100% in Inkbound, revisiting Dying Light 2 with some friends for the new patch, went back to Insurgency for my milsim fix, and reinstalled Last Epoch in prep for 1.0.
Right now I’d say pass, after the big patch who knows. Really lazy writing in the story, every quest midgame is a fetch, and if you do a single event you will get OP in one session.
If you grab it on sale, don’t spec into wall ride for your parkour. It will constantly interrupt your jumps and hangs… Makes me personally nauseous and I play in VR half of the time.
Still playing BG3! It’s really fun but the combat can be quite challenging, even when playing on the easiest mode with a modded party of 6 and infinite money. There are just so many things I have to keep in mind… Or perhaps my build just sucks lol
If you don’t have much experience playing CRPGs I think it can be quite difficult. But once you get the hang of building classes, even honor mode will definitely be doable.
Ah this reminds me of my Divinity OS2 experience. It was so tough but sooo rewarding. What I recommend is to look up some basic build guides. Trust me you’ll have have plenty opportunity to make creative decisions regardless. No need to make it unnecessarily frustrating for oneself. You’ll get the hang of combat eventually and still not see half of all the possible ways to deal with enemies.
I really had to look up some D&D lore for BG3 though. Had no idea what was going on during the first act so I‘m ending up spending even more time reading lore and watching videos about it despite growing up reading Drizzt Do’Urden stories and playing BG1. It‘s a very complex universe and challenging to follow as a non-D&D player I have to say.
Just finished Alan Wake 2. I’ve never liked survival horror gameplay much so I wasn’t big on that most of the time, but everything else about it was great. I’ve never seen a game use music more effectively.
I think I’ll be heading back to Atelier Meruru this week. Might also give Dave the Diver another shot; I’m a little bummed that I’m not enjoying it as much as everyone else seemed to.
Oh boy, which side? Foxhole is a game you love and hate and it will take your time if you let it so make sure you’re doing things you enjoy and remember that you can’t win the war on your own so don’t try to.
Just bouncing between Overwatch 2 and MW3 as currently I’m still burned out playing SP games since playing AC6 to NG++, AW2 on hard, miraculously managed to finish a durge honor mode run (this is what burned me out, too stressful playing CRPGs with only 1 save, with a durge run at that).
I’ve also found that Warzone 3 is surprisingly good so most of my old Warzone 1 squad are reinstalling the game and we started playing together again.
Suuuuper late to the game, but a few weeks ago my husband talked me into playing Detroit: Become Human (I shy away from Sci Fi games so I knew nothing about it/was hesitant to play).
Holy shit. That may have been some of the best fucking writing I’ve ever seen in a game.
It also got me really turned on to those butterfly effect/QTE games! I finished Little Hope by the Dark Pictures Anthology in one night (last Friday), and I’m in the middle of Man of Medan right now. The writing isn’t as good, but they’re still Hella fun and quirky!
If anyone else has any reccs for the Butterfly effect/QTE style games, I’m mad obsessed enough and will most definitely play it!
Ugh, I cannot say enough good things about that game! Top notch story!
I went into it completely blind, but even if you’ve seen some game play, there are so many choices and endings that you’ll end up surprised no matter what! Everyone that I’ve gushed about it to gushed back if they’ve played it already!
Singleplayer I’m playing Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty, which is imo a stellar experience so far. I’m also playing Cassette Beasts on the Steam Deck, which is also a great experience. Like Pokemon, but also different in many ways.
Multiplayer it’s still Deep Rock Galactic, and I’ve returned a bit to AoE 4.
Finally got around to playing F.E.A.R. 1 & 2, now going through the DLC for 1, having a great time despite it definitely showing its age with some design choices, like the mandatory valve puzzles of early 2000’s. I’m so glad I bought the RTX 4080 though, definitely getting my money’s worth.
I finally bought Skyrim Anniversary on the latest discount and was pleasantly surprised how stable it is compared to classic, I remember trying to mod the original one but I only got a buggy mess that didn’t even open most of the time and constantly CTDs.
But after a friend said how stable it is I dipped in after playing through his share of Special Edition, I was able to reach 100 mods and the game had a stable framerate and no crashes, so I bought the AE version since a mod I wanted to use required it and I’m having a blast now with 200 mods as an unarmed Monk.

Valheim when solo, Deep Rock Galactic when with friends. 10/10 I didn’t need all that free time anyway
Valheim is also great with friends by the way. We’re currently playing DRG, but we played Valheim quite a while back and it was a lot of fun together.

How do you feel about DL2? Have it on my wishlist, I loved first one, but I was a bit sceptical on 2nd and I am still waiting to buy it.
Right now I’d say pass, after the big patch who knows. Really lazy writing in the story, every quest midgame is a fetch, and if you do a single event you will get OP in one session.

Shame, that DL2 is such a miss. I was afraid of exactly the things you said… Well, I’ll wait and see. Thanks! Good night, good luck 😃

Been playing the shit out of battlebit. Just bought it for my friend as well and we played til 5AM last night

Was interested in Baldur’s Gate 3 so I did the only sensible thing, started playing Baldur’s Gate 1! Got the 2nd line up after that.
I got foxhole and oxygen not included on the last say of the steam winter sale and they are both amazing games
Oh boy, which side? Foxhole is a game you love and hate and it will take your time if you let it so make sure you’re doing things you enjoy and remember that you can’t win the war on your own so don’t try to.
Colonials. I am solo right now but I never do anything without other soldiers
I forgot to buy anything from my wishlist during the steam sale, so I’ve been playing Libby.

This tarkov wipe is great
The game is in the best state it’s ever been!

I’ve been thinking about it recently, might finally give it a try
Ugh, I cannot say enough good things about that game! Top notch story!

Having a blast with Greedfall :)
