Hey y’all, what have you been playing?

I have been playing quite a bit of lies of p, and I started cocoon as well. Both super solid games. I’m getting my PC back tomorrow so I think I’m going to finally start Alan wake 2 as well!

Picked up Another Code Recollection. Never played the original on the 3DS, and I’m really enjoying it.

Elden Ring getting ready for the DLC.

I have a lvl 1 char that I’ve beaten about 90% of the game with, gathered most of the items and spells that’s taken me about 7 months to get this far.

The plan is to beat everything but the last fight as lvl 1 so I can build to whatever is needed.

Couldn’t you also just save a respec item to burn whenever the DLC drops?

Respeccing doesn’t drop your level and I’m hoping with all the returners and new players the DLC brings that I can sunbro low level content like Stormveil and the early caves again.

After my fill of that I’ll level up to whatever content the DLC is geared to.

Plus this will give me a lvl 1 backup with most gear and spells for build testing.

My time I’d normally use for gaming has gone in to starting to learn FreeCAD, which I guess I could argue is an open world builder game.

I’ve missed this thread for a few weeks already (as in, I didn’t see it). Completed Disco Elysium twice since then, amazing game! Very sad that there’s not going to be a sequel; the world is fascinating, as is the style of gameplay.

We bought Palworld yesterday, probably play that most of the week. It mashes up a lot of games and has some nice QoL updates from similar games (like Ark)

I just finished Portal Revolution. Puzzles were high quality. Story, script and voice acting was meh. Now I’m playing Outriders, which I bought during the winter sale. Super mid game, very formulaic gameplay. Story and visuals are kinda cool.

I’m playing through portal rev now. Every time I finish a section of traveling I feel like I’m a genius solving all the little 2 or 3 step puzzles. Then the path opens up into one of the huge puzzle rooms and I’m like shit where do I even start this looks impossible.

I’m getting through it all and enjoying the journey.

Currently, I play Alwa’s Awakening on the Evercade. Very cute and hard, at times, metroidvania.

I’m about to play Ico and Elder Scrolls Online

Ico is such a wonderful game. I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two of my favorites. I even loved The Last Guardian, in spite of its flaws.

Shadow of the colossus is in my top 10. I just beat last guardian after playing for like 2 years. Struggled getting into it but the other day i decided to power through to the end and i absolutely loved the end. I have high hopes for ico

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It has a deeper story than Shadow of the Colossus, but the combat hook in SotC is just soooooo good.

The Last Guardian just needed another 3-6 months of tightening up, I think. But if they waited much longer they would have missed the PS4 entirely.

If i’m not sim racing, its BattleBit, Noita or Baldur’s Gate. Lots of fun!@

I’ve been playing a ton of Pillars of Eternity still. I think I can wrap up Kana’s quest before I head into Act 3. I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire of my quest log that look like I need to advance the plot or level up more to finish them, so Act 3 is maybe when they intended for me to finish those.

About 40% through Hogwarts Legacy at the moment. It’s been great so far, very impressive especially coming from the old HP games on PC. Fixed up some performance issues with the Ascendio mod, and all works fairly well on my (ancient, circa 2014) rig.

I started playing unsighted. Its the first game I’ve been seriously playing since november 😅

Sill playing Aurora. Missle combat is very different and it took a while to learn. I’m hitting my stride now I feel.

Also in the middle of Citizen Sleeper. An RPG where you’re playing a transhuman cyborg traped on a space station. It’s been interesting. I would compare it to Disco Elysium. That title obviously had a better budget but Sleeper holds up well.

Still mainly Diablo 4, but a lot less this week. I finished my seasonal goals faster than I thought, and have been slowly mopping up some of the stuff that’s season independent. I filled out the map, found the Altars (3/4 by myself the rest with a guide), and also did all the dungeons to unlock the legendary aspects, but I guess those reset, and you have to do them again in the new season (or just the ones you’re interested in).

Then I also did more Soulstone Survivors runs. So far I’ve been mainly playing as the default class, the barbarian, and unlocking everything for him. There’s so much stuff, and then do a lot more for all the other classes as well. It’s fun, though still lacks a bit of variety, mainly in the levels.

I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption (the first one) and I’m enjoying it a lot. I’ve decided to play without the on-screen map and it does wonders for immersion, recognizing areas, locations, where people are, etc. I highly recommend it!

I might just try that someday. The idea is intimidating but sounds like a new level of fun. Have to try to emulate it on PC though

Emulate the Switch version. It works far better than trying to the get the PS3 version to run.

If you like the idea of playing a large open world game without a minimap, I can also highly recommend the first two Gothic games, Gothic II in particular. Maps for this game can only be bought, found or stolen and they don’t show your position. Since every location is hand-crafted and unique, you won’t actually miss having a minimap. Even two decades later, these titles still wipe the floor with most open world games in terms of world design.

I really like that in RDR2 you can disable the mini map and replace it with a plain compass. It has the added feature that you can briefly show the mini map again if you need to get your bearings, and it disappears after a short delay. Definitely helps with the immersion.

I remember being very unimpressed with RDR, though that could be because I rushed through it the week before the sequel came out. In my experience rushing through a game like that ruins the experience completely.

What is it you enjoy most? Open cowboy world or the story or something else? Might have to go back to it (and actually finish the sequel lol)

Well I’m not a huge gamer, specially since I have a kid, but I was expecting GTA with horses, but I’m enjoying it a lot (I don’t really like GTA) anh I had not played this game, since I never had a console, but it came out for switch and I went for it. I’m not going to try to sell it to you. The no-map immersion is a big factor, I guess, which is new for me!
