Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Elden Ring and Dark Souls 1. And I intend to play them forever. Wish bb was on PC :(
Depending on how far you wanna go, it is IIRC (emulation)
Sea of Thieves. Revisiting it after several years of not playing it, and finding it just as much fun now as it uses to be.
Hopping between:
Balatro and Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2! Played the first one a bit but not nearly as engaged with that as I am in this. Bought on launch day and had a blast until the massive player spike killed the servers, that’s seems to be better now as I was able to get in fine and play for a few hours last night.
It’s 100% worth the price and hype but I recommend waiting a few weeks to a month from now while they fully deal with server load issues and they say mechs are pretty much ready to be added now and are just getting polished.
For background, the first game peaked at ~7000 players, this one had 480K on steam alone and that number again on PlayStation this past weekend. They didn’t expect this level of success and so didn’t plan to have server capacity and robust network code for it, they are putting in the long nights to fix it though and we’re already seeing improvements only a couple weeks in
Back on my Rimworld addiction.
Balatro!
Been alternating between replaying Elden Ring on my PC and the original Ratchet and Clank on my new (to me) PS2. Making good progress in both.
Currently working through the last level in R&C and I forgot how brutally unforgiving that game is with the limited health and scarce checkpoints.
I'm almost through the academy in ER. Fixing to fight whatshername with the giant baby and the kamehameha attack. Already beat that god-damn OP knight guarding the entrance to her boss room.
I'm playing persona 3 reload and like a dragon gaiden just now. Both really good games!
Persona 3 Reload. Only played a bit of the original but I'm loving this remake. The QoL updates make it feel more fun and less of a slog. And I love the newer graphic style.
Did a bit of helldivers 2 with friends. Good fun but between work and kids I don't have a lot of multi-player game time anymore.
Just finished streets of rage 4 . still playing through super Mario wonder l, and also GTA 4 dlcs.
Playing "Thief: The Black Parade"
It's a fan mod released this year, for a game that was released in 1998. It was a labor of love that took 7 years to complete and is the most stunning mod I have ever seen for any game period.
They push the engine to its limits, the scale, creativity, level design and story are near perfection. The story and playtime are so good it feels like an official game. You forget it's not canon.
I can't believe this came along, it was truly refreshing. It won the 2023 ModDB mod of the year.
Mandalore did a great review, and mini tutorial about how to launch a 26 year old game on modern systems.
Resident Evil 4 Remake. Just recently became a fan of the series
I can't play any game
