I had really enjoyed the ea of BG3 so I’m pumped to play the full game! After two hours I’m pleased to say I made my character. Lol.
Oh, boy. I have quite a list for this week.
Gothic 3 - Gothic is my favorite series and last year I started playing the games again. Now I’m at the third, and it has definitely improved a lot since I last played it (13 years ago). It’s a shame that it’s unfinished, but definitely playable and a good gaming experience.
Baldur’s Gate 3 - I never played any D&D game, not Planescape Torment, no Icewind Dale, no Neverwinter Nights, no Divinity or any other game that is close to this one. But I bought it, not knowing if I would like it, because of the salty tweets from developers working for big publishers. I only played for 3 hours and as someone who is unfamiliar with most things related to this game, I think it’s nice. I feel that I can’t fully appreciate it to its real value right now, but I’m sure that given the time I will.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - I got deranked to Silver 2 again and I think I’m going to take a break from competitive, at least. I find it really hard to keep up, it just feels that everyone’s aim is better than mine and I don’t have the time and resources right now to learn this game. I still enjoy Arms Race, though.
Deep Rock Galactic - I’m playing for more than 200 hours now. I only play as Engineer and I’m close to getting that Gold promotion. Gets a bit boring when I’m playing too much, but otherwise it’s great for co-op play, and fun.
Managing to squeeze at least one excursion on Hoxxes IV every morning before my gf wakes up.
Leave No Dwarf Behind!
Rock and stone brother!
I tried to play Baldurs Gate 3 but for some reason, it runs really poorly on my system so I refunded it. On the plus side, a friend of mine has caught up in Diablo 4 so we played some multiplayer which was great fun.
And I played some Timberborn, which seems fun at least for a while. Probably not a long term game for me though.
I’ve been on my first RDR2 playthrough. Unfortunately once I get to the bank job in StDenis I’m treated to a BSOD every time, as soon as I start the mission. So I alternate with a little Psychonauts, which I also never played before. Real good stuff, old school platforming, just what I love. I grew up on Megadrive then Xbox and I kinda miss the plethora of platformers that released in the day. If anyone has a good (recent) platformer recommendation…
BG3. Within two minutes of the cut scene to start the game, my Bard touched something and immediately died. It’s just like I remember!
Just got Back into valorant. The Grind hurts. +Started elden ring when im in for sth non competitive
Oxygen not included, it’s a fantastically detailed colony sim if you like physics and colony sims, you are in for a treat, it’s like if rimworld, minecrafts redstone system and the powder toy had a baby in the best way possible
I decided to load up tropix again. The game is so much more simplistic than I remember it being when I was like 9
I finished both Diablo 1 (devilutionx) as well as Diablo 2 (remastered). Both are still great games
Dysmantle, great little indie game I played on PC back in EA but now enjoying the final product on PS5 as it was included in PS Extra
You smash the environment and zombies to level up and find parts to build new weapons and tools. The game is a bit wonky but the satisfaction of getting that new weapon to be able to break down larger objects is addicting. Will set you back 20+ hours at least.
I just recently got the pokemon fan game Pokemon Empire working on my phone through JoiPlay and I’m loving how it actually works since now I can play it on the go and will probably end up surpassing my save on my desktop.
The music is great, I love the story, there are some really cool fakemon I love, and the mechanics changes are amazing.
I may have learned how to play pokemon better by playing Reborn and Rejuvenation, but Empire has taught me the importance of stat changes and set-up moves more than either of the other 2 listed could.
Thanks for talking about that game, I’ve never been sold on a Pokémon fan game before but this one sounds really interesting
Switching between FFXIV, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Spider-Man Miles Morales
Exoprimal on Xbox Series X. Sublime imo.
Metro Redux was free on Steam so I started that and am not disappointed
