Whatcha all playing!
I’ve been going hard in Pikmin 4. Also been playing shattered pixel dungeon and recently ascended for the first time which was super fun.
Just finished my first playthrough of Cyberpunk last night after about 120 hours. I had 3 or so gigs left but wanted to make sure I got it done before Baldur’s Gate 3 (will need to free up some disk space…).
Overall I liked it a lot, despite its many flaws. It has some moments, characters and stories that are really engaging. Judy was a standout for me, and her voice actress really killed it. I regret not choosing Female V now, but of course I had no idea at the time. And I know it’s controversial but I kinda liked Keanu as Silverhand, even though his voice acting isn’t always “good”. The relationship between V and Johnny was the thing I enjoyed the most, and Johnny’s character development.
Not sure I’m super happy with the ending I got, though, and I might go back and play out some of the other alternatives.
From memory, I’m pretty sure Judy can only romance female V (if that’s what your regret was).
I’m one of the weirdos who had a good time with Cyberpunk when it first came out. I’m really looking forward to the DLC and trying hard not to play it again before the DLC so I don’t burn myself out on it.
Yeah, Judy made a big impression on me. I’ll wait a while after Phantom Liberty’s release until I’ll play again, but I’ll definitely play Fem V then so I can see the Judy romance.
I just played through another ending today, (Don’t) Fear the Reaper into the Temperance ending, and I much preferred that to the one I got at first (Rogue’s path into The Sun ending). I’m much more satisfied with the game now.
My first ending was Panam/Aldecaldo and it’s still my favorite probably.
I have heard people like that one, and I have read roughly what it’s about, but I’m saving that one for my next playthrough.
I think which one suits best depends a lot on both how you played your V and how you felt about Johnny.
For me, V and Johnny became like best friends, and so The Sun ended up feeling mostly like a letdown and a nobody wins scenario, and it felt almost out of character for V, too.
Temperance felt perfect for the story as I had experienced it, and it was also really cool to see the final dialogues inside Mikoshi from both the perspective of playing as Johnny and playing as V. Highly recommended.
SPOILERS When playing as Johnny (the first time), I actually thought V would interrupt a fourth time on the bridge heading towards the light and forcibly kick Johnny back into his body and make the choice for him. At least that’s where it felt like the dialogues were going. I think that would have been a cool moment, if your relationship with Johnny is high enough.
Started the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, after wanting to replay the ME Trilogy for a couple years. Haven’t played them since they originally released.
Just started ME3 yesterday, and it is nice to experience the gameplay changes from 1 to 3 in such a short time. I had completely forgotten how terrible that Mako in ME1 was. Made it almost unbearable for me. The Hammerhead in ME2 was so much better in every way.
I’m about quarter of the way through 2, really enjoying it.
After buying a Steam Deck during the sale, I’m playing Civilization 6 again. Never got into it nearly as much as the previous installments but now I think I’m finally getting it.
Final Fantasy XVI. Much more gritty than the others. Just as much angst. Still, I’m enjoying it.
I’m waiting for this one to go on sale. Really enjoyed the demo but I’m in no rush to play it just yet.
Same. Really solid so far. Also glad to not play a giant open world after rdr2 and totk.
Remnant 2 has been a blast. I do wish there was 1 more world in it to make it feel a little more full, but I love every moment of these games.
Its crazy to find a secret area in a secret area, pick up a melee weapon, then discover that the secret secret weapon unlocks a secret area with another hidden area inside it for a super secret ability.
Remnant 2 is so great! What an unexpected surprise treat of a game! It really scratches a lot of my gamer itches at once.
I agree that I wish it had one or two more worlds to explore but there is so much replayability already, it’s easily worth the $50 price of admission. Looking forward the first big patch; hopefully they make respeccing significantly cheaper.
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. It finally came out on PC and it feels so good to have a R&C game again.
Discovering Octopath traveller II. Not a big fan for now, It’s beautiful but I’m a bit disappointed by the story. Hope it gets better 🤞
Me and my spouse are getting back into Elden Ring. Created a new character and chosen a build that’s enjoyable for both of us, so we sit on a couch, passing the controller back and forth, exploring, doing quests, reading lore and praising the Erdtree. Good Times!
what class have you chosen?
I’m deep into TOTK, though I’m looking forward to getting started with Don’t Starve on my Deck.
XCOM 2: long war of the chosen (lwotc). Have heard about long war every now and again and finally decided to try it out. Gotta say it’s pretty hard but I am starting to get the hang of it
Long war is practically another expansion. It’s insane how much content there is for a mod
Is that a DLC? I have never heard of it.
Played Dredge on the Steam Deck, which was a nice, relaxing experience.
Besides that I’ve been playing Blood: Fresh Supply on my beefy gaming pc. Great fun, much glee when blowing up hordes of cultists.
I am playing Jedi Survivor. Having had a blast with the original I was excited to hear people say that the second installment is similar but better in many ways. I don’t know what it is about it but I’m just not able to get into it. Maybe it’s the semi-open world feeling of some of the larger areas? I dunno it’s just not working for me, which is disappointing.
I’m waiting for the price to come down on it. I never finished the original because I suck at souls games but we need more good Star Wars games like these. I want to support both single-player Star Wars adventures and Respawn because they made my favorite shooters of all time (Titanfall and TF2).
Just got to 1000hrs on my new Steam account. I am just playing DayZSA, modded hardcore PVE mostly. Rarely, I go back to minecraft.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Gotta clear those last quests before Baldurs Gate 3 release.
#JusticeForLagi
3U is still my favorite MH. Don’t care what anyone says about the underwater combat. I loved it.
Underwater combat is great and the game itself is good but the monster roster… Plesioth, Agnaktor, Uragaan, and the worst ones: Stygian Zinogre and Lucent Nargacuga. #JusticeForLagi though.
Death loop! The game keeps warning me against direct fights, but the AI isn’t great, so direct fights are the fastest way to clear anything
I hear ya, but you’re missing major chunks of side quests and backstory that way. It’s a fantastic story when you play it the way it’s intended.
I think I’ve been doing the side quest. I just kill absolutely everyone on the map. And explore everything. Am I missing things that way? The way the stealth mechanic works I can basically sneak up past anybody as long as they’re not looking directly at me no problems.
