I recently played through Disco Elysium and i think it may be time soon for a 2nd run through soon!
DoDonPachi Resurrection
Just started Baldurs Gate 3 and have been enjoying it so far. My biggest complaint is that the keyboard map is just off enough from the Owlcats Pathfinder games that I keep screwing up small things.
Also looking at getting back into the system Shock remake since the big box finally showed up yesterday.
Half life 1 with rtx mod
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem (the Japan only one)
I was going to try to blind ironman like FE11, on the first Hard difficulty setting, but while losing my healers in chapter 2 and 3x due to silly boss moving and ambush reinforcements was funny, losing two seemingly important characters in turn 2, because of a Thief you can't kill in 1 turn without using a staff, was not. (They ended up not saying anything in the postbattle cutscene anyways, lol)
I'll still try not to reset, as per usual in FE (I LIKE losing units and trying out replacements), but not if I lose out on recruitable characters because I didn't figure out the puzzle solution for the first 3 turns. I did kill Matthis because he suicided into me, but fuck that guy.
Playing Blasphemous 2 right now. Definitely a lot of QoL improvements over part 1.
Beat two bosses so far, both with great move sets but the second one was a little bit on the easy side.
Also, playing Super Mario Galaxy for the first time on my Deck.
Dead Space. The remake looks great and the sound design is bonkers. I love the utilitarian design of the tech as well. Headphones are recommended.
Too many stutters though
Dragon Quest 9 on DS (emulated). Prior to this I was playing Kingdom Hearts Recoded also on DS (emulated). My recommendation is to enjoy what retroachievements does to your old favorites, lol (can't wait for DOSBox integration).
I'm generally a PC gamer but I was playing the steam ports of Kingdom Hearts (they are bad ports) and now I'm just emulating things. Can you believe those lunatics lumped 4 games of achievements into a single set without any order? There's even duplicate names for things, it's a wildly sloppy port, lol. Not recommended.
The original Call of Duty. Just installed this weekend and haven't played it since early 2000's. After that I plan to play the very first Call of Duty Black Ops which I never actually played the story of.
Enjoy! I remember really liking the campaign of Black Ops. I don’t remember the story anymore but I remember it being great
System Shock (the remake) with a cut-down version of the Ironman mod to provide randomization. It's only slight loot randomization so there's no major pathing changes but it's fun nonetheless.
I like randomizers. They add some additional replay value to already good games. I must've played through randomized Bloodstained a down times already – and twice that for Super Metroid. (And then there's the beautiful mess that is randomized Borderlands 2. I don't think I'm ever going to finish a run but man are they wild.)
We’ve made it to level 19 in Pantheon.
Been playing a game called Buckshot Roulette, came out in 2023. You play Russian Roulette. With a pump action shotgun.
Re-playing Half-Life 2 with the massive update. Still a great game.
I hope the developer commentary is on.
Still thoroughly sucked into Pathfinder: Kingmaker. At least I've stopped poking around in side areas now, just focusing on advancing the main story. Also doing companion quests. This might be the longest not-live-service game I've ever played? I think I still have at least two more full chapters to go.
I just finished my third playthrough of it. I was disappointed to find out at the end that I screwed up one of the story points I was going after, but oh well. It was still a fun experience. After three time though I doubt I’ll go through it again. Still one of my favorites.
I ain't playin' shit. I haven't had any gaming time in over a week. I'm very, very sad. Perhaps tonight will be the night? Probably not, but one can hope.
I feel that. I haven’t played anything in over a week either. I’ve had lots of (good) news that’s quite tiring to deal with, plus work has been busy lately and I have family visiting. All good stuff (except maybe work), but still, I miss playing games
I do the vast majority of my gaming from November through February (i.e. "winter"). Outside of that window, I rarely have time to play, and even when I have time, I usually have other things I'd rather do. I probably have another month or so of my gaming season left. Things just didn't work out this year.
On the flip side, I managed to get about 45 minutes of down time this afternoon unexpectedly. So I fired up Doom (2016), which is the game I've focused on this season. I managed to make it to mission 12 out of 13, so I'm pretty close to the end as far as I can tell! It seems likely I'll be able to finish it in a matter of days, so long as I can find the time!
Putting the finishing touches on Darksiders Genesis with a friend. Game was alright. My advice would be to play the game on Medium or High settings with Ultra textures. I realized too late that I could‘ve played with 50% higher framerate while the game hardly looks any different all this time lol
I also hope to figure out why the fuck I suck so much at Dorfromantik and get a bit more into the game this weekend.
Less patient because I saw and I was patient, and more 'shit I didn't know about these' (they're both free) pokerogue and infinitode 2 have been taking up most of my time lately.
Spider-Man 2, PS5. Pretty well-rounded game, highly recommend it
Love that game. Got it as a gift last year, one of my favourites on the console. I mostly play PC but I keep the PS5 plugged in mostly for this game (and I use it as a 4K blu-ray player)
Back on my Minecraft habit. Experimenting with pale oak logs a little, but mostly branch mining after work to chill.
I started playing Monifactory, a modern Gregtech CEu Minecraft modpack. Someone send help.
Basically extra complex Satisfactory, but everything is blocks.
Still playing Daggerfall and The Sims.
With Daggerfall it's more of a research project rather than a playthrough at the moment, will probably go back to playing soon. As for The Sims... were days in the first game always this short? It really feels like there's barely any time left after coming back from work and taking care of basic needs. Man, if I wanted more of that I would just focus on my own life.Besides these two I was thinking about going back to Hollow Knight but then I found out I didn't backup my saves before reinstalling the OS on my desktop. I was half way through the game. I decided to play Medabots: Kabuto for GBA instead.
I played this game a bit before - don't remember when exactly or for how long though. I also forgot pretty much anything about it besides the Medabot customization system (it's neat). I'm still not sure whether I like the combat (not being able to select exactly who and where you attack can be a pain) but I got a hang of it and have enough fun to keep playing. It's also super easy to cheese, at least early on.
Other than that game is pretty dope. Story is simple but fun, music and visuals are great and the already mentioned unit customization add a lot of choice to combat (especially if you're willing to avoid minmaxing). I honestly didn't expect to have this much fun with the game.You should give Hollow Knight another shot. It’s seriously such an amazing game. I’ve been thinking of replaying it soon
While I did like what I played so far I just can't be bothered to start from scratch right now. I'll get back to it eventually but the backlog beckons and there's A LOT of titles waiting for their turn.
Troubleshooting Simulator. Hopefully, Far Cry 3 a couple of hours from now.
Edit: For anyone else who is having issues with the UPlay version of Far Cry 3 and hopes to find a sliver of hope here: I utterly failed. The game refuses to work. I even tried dxvk and vgvoodoo. The only "solution" I found (short of just buying the Steam version) is running it on integrated graphics (780M).
