I'll be playing some Deep Rock Galactic. Always end up back playing it. ROCK AND STONE!

Decided to finally play Hi-Fi Rush hopefully get it completed over the weekend! ☺️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I should pick it up again to finish it. Such a good game! But the live service hell of Destiny is keeping me occupied.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Started it a few weeks ago, I'm really enjoying it so far!

Been on a huge Spider-Man kick, lately. Just 100%'d the first and am currently probably 1/4 of the way through Miles Morales. I really like the new mechanics overall, I just suck at stealth 😬

Edit: Oops, didn't realize this was the Xbox community, my mistake!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm jealous. I still haven't picked up a PS5 and I love the Spiderman games!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm playing them on PC and Steam Deck. I can't justify a PS5 purchase, at least not yet.

We'll see how long my will holds out for the Spider-Man 2 PC port, though, haha.

I didn't realize they were on PC!!

I'm continuing on my first play through ni no kuni 2

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

GTA Online! I’m basic i know haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Frostpunk since Sunday. I was just able to handle the London people, now I'm getting sick of it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been interested in trying Frostpunk. Would you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I absolutely recommend if economy management is your jam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Any other economy management you recommend? My wife and I love playing tropico.

If you've got a PC I recommend Banished. It's an old time city builder. Was great fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Banished looks great, and seems to have good support for linux. Going to give it a try!

Thanks for the recommendation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

No problem :) I love that game. It's relaxing and you get to build a little town!

I love this game. Went through almost all the scenarios before burning out. Good stuff. Excellent console controls.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Age of Empires 2

Not on Xbox, but you could!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Love that game. I've been slowly playing through the campaign on my laptop when I'm away from home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Dark souls remaster and probably some vampire survivors.

I tried to get into that, but I kept coming back to "why am I doing this?" Like... I can manage a village and it's pleasant enough... But why?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm enjoying the different take on "city building" in this game. You have to take care of the dragon creature as well, which feels like a modern version of a tamagotchi. Adapting to the different climates/poisonous clouds the creature walks through is a nice challenge. I've been playing it every day since the gamepass release and I love it.

Some The Witcher 3 on my Steam Deck and I started Trek to Yomi with gamepass. The art direction is so good it really feels like a movie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wandering around Boston in Fallout 4, reinforcing some settlements, collecting some junk for scraps, and sleeping with Cait.

Even found another power armor suit that had somehow gone undiscovered years ago.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Playing with any specific build?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm playing on an Xbox One with just the six DLCs.

I installed one mod a looong time ago, whose name and purpose I don't recall, and since then my gamer score has not increased despite having played several other games.

So, I'm a bit leery of trying anything else. As time permits, I'll looking into getting things straightened out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, I didn't mean mod, I meant character build. Like a sniper, or melee focused thief, or smooth talking bard or something 😀

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Ah, yea, sorry. I've only ever used one character, and I think I started with mostly an "intelligence" build.

My character's current SPECIAL stats are 10, 13, 7, 12, 10, 9, and 9 at level 129.

Regarding DPG, I find it hard to find groups to play with in my time zone. I'm on the Discord server, but nobody seems to be online my evenings NZT. I've tried DRG solo, but think it's better multiplayer. Any tips to find people to play with?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you tried the Xbox looking for group function?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Will give that another try, but previously I found some very weird groups there or just a lot of empty groups.

How does it compare to the first one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Well it's been 8 or 9 years since I played the first so whatever difference that may make...

When it first came out people complained about it a lot. But I'd heard a lot of fixes have gone in, and I'm just now picking it up.

I like it. I feel like there's more random combat walking around which I hated at first but I'm getting the hang on dodging and blocking so I'm enjoying it now. There seems to be more random side quests.

The story seems more fleshed out, presumably because it's also been 20 years in game since the first.

Overall I feel like the game is more of the same once I got the hang of the combat part. I don't remember a lot of the intricacies of managing my inventory and crafting from the first game, so I don't know if it feels more complicated, or I've just forgotten how it was.

What I don't like, the story being more fleshed out actually. It felt more like a "cowboy" type of thing before, where everyone including NPCs was doing their own thing, including you. I liked the less structured feel of the environment and people if that makes sense.

I do also miss that the style of the game was new to me. Overall the first person parkour, running, combat, etc was something I’d never played.

Max Payne 3. It is good, but it barely let's you breath.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sea of Thieves. Always. For the chill vibes and whimsy. And then some Aliens: Dark Decent, for that high stress, anxiety adrenaline. I'm a fellow of extremes.
