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.
Less “playing” and more “bug testing”. In the final stages of developing an aircraft for XPlane 11/12 and have been putting in a lot of hours in flight looking for graphical glitches, system bugs, etc…
Since I blew up my Skyrim by accidentally updating and rollback doesn‘t work for me, I‘m just playing some Spiral Knights and GRID (2019) while waiting for mods to catch up again.
I recently set up a Xbox 360 emulator using Xenia to play all Gears of War games in my PC, and had a lot of fun setting things up (Xenia is way harder to set up than any other emulator I’ve used): patching, tweaking and testing stuff, modding some files, and obviusly playing.
Lots of fun playing, and the games have aged pretty well, IMO.
I’m going on a long plane ride, so I have my phone loaded with Zelda Link Between Worlds and some Mario 3d Land for 3DS. I have Titan Quest and Baldurs Gate 2 on my Chromebook. I’m probably going to be tending to kids the entire flight, realistically.
I just started up Spiderman Remastered. I hate the militarized police propaganda, but as an action game, zipping around on webs and aerial combat is entertaining.
Me too, but I’m not too impressed. I mean it looks great and all, but the gameplay is a bit monotonous. Maybe it caters more to fans who actually care about the story and characters.
So I’m throwing some Deep Rock Galactic missions into the mix. I’ve met a player in their first ever mission and tagged along to help out a bit and now we’re playing a lot together and it’s great fun.
Yep, I get that. The poorly functioning building, pathfinding issues for pals in base and the lack of endgame makes it that we parked it for now and will circle back when the devs had time to figure out their next moves, and if they don’t end up escaping to some tropical island with their earnings it will be fun in a year.
GTA V offline, of all things. Haven’t played it in years and found out its carpool grew quite a lot, matching the forza games and currently scratching my itch for an offline open world car game with a crapton of cars.
I have been espousing its merits so much that I surely look like a shill but check out Motor Town as a low poly open world driving game that centers on supply chains of deliveries and basically GTA side job driving quests fleshed out to an entire genre with pizza delivery on mopeds, box vans delivering packages, garbage trucks, taxi drivers delivering urgent passengers as fast as possible, tow truck jobs and tractor trailer jobs etc….
The physics and driving feel are superb (very realistic unlike GTA V not that GTA V’s driving isn’t a blast), and there is a diversity of vehicles from a wide variety of sports cars to pretty much any type of work vehicle you can think of. You can tweak, tune and engine swap to turn basically any of them into a fire breathing metal box that transports you as fast as possible to utter ruin. You can play multiplayer collaborating with others on deliveries or just play singleplayer.
It’s early access but it’s got a demo so check it out! If you are anything like me you will throw your fists in the air and angrily shout why nobody has made a game like this for you before lol when you try it. I know it doesn’t look like a racing game but you can absolutely play everything in the game except bus driving like a racing game (and you can just have AI do the bus driving if you want to do bus stuff).
Tooling along in a semi with a trailer at 80mph on a windy country road and plowing cars out of the way like soccer balls for fun has never felt so good in a video game.
I recently got FF7 (original) for Switch and have been playing through that hard. KotR was nearing mastery and I figured I’d double check to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. I missed Ramuh. There’s no way to go back and get it and my only earlier save is just after Temple of the Ancients. I won’t be able to make my own Master Summon Materia. I was just settling into the final grind/side quests. Guess I’ll have to slot another full playthrough sooner than I had anticipated. On the plus side, there’s so much more information readily available than when I had played decades ago and I’ve learned a few new tricks. And being able to speed up most stuff to x3 speed has been great.
It was BG3 still with Palworld, but enough of my friends started playing and we made a dedicated private server. It’s now consuming me. I’m sure the obsession with subside in a bit, but right now it’s just dumb fun. Currently riding around on a panda mount duel weilding rocket launches and just laying everything to waste.
I’ve been really enjoying Roboquest. It’s a solid movement shooter rogue like that really nails flow state. It’s got solid style, but the story is just kind of tacked on and can be ignored. You good bot. You kill bad bots. You kill bad bots gooder over time. Do again until bored. Good for genre fans.
Necesse has also been in my rotation. This is a weird one to pin down. Top down terraria / rimworld gets the basic idea across. It looks very newgrounds flash game but has some surprising depth and it gets its claws into you, eating away time. I’m only still in the beginnings, but I’m sure I’ll be putting more time into this one.

Prince of Persia is awesome

Guardians of the galaxy currently

Rock and Stone, you beautiful dwarf!
Tip: Check out latest devstream for awesome things to come.
Thats a wholesome story, I’ll have to look into that game. Yeah I’m enjoying it more as an interactive movie.
That makes sense, I probably just had wrong expectations :)
Palworld and factorio.
Palword. Good brain dead fun.
It’s clucky building needs work but the world is cool and the pals hilarious.
Played hard for a couple weeks but got bored kinda quick. Feel like I wish there were, idk, more things to do or story to unfold.
Was playing in a buddy’s server initially so maybe part of losing interest kinda quick was not wanting to run all the early game again solo.

Yeah, I’ve been playing this on and off for the past year or so. It’s a great game and the dev is nice and active in the community.

As a huge Terraria fan I’ve been eyeing Necesse for a while now. Seems I really should check it out, thanks!
