Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 7th
What are y'all playing?
I beat Ghost Trick Phantom Detective. I think it's up there as one of my all time favorite games. Really a wonderful time all the way through. Next I'm not sure but probably back to BG3 grinding
A friend finally convinced me to try out Dark Souls. I'm not too far in, and I'm not having a bad time per se, but I am having a little trouble getting into it and caring about why I'm hacking and slashing everything. Maybe I just haven't got enough lore yet. Though I do like seeing the other players' messages and their "ghosts" running around, that's fun.
I'm having a ridiculous amount of fun playing Cosmoteer, it's dangerously addictive. Spaceship architecture and combat with a career mode and missions
Blue Prince! We’ve gotten through 12 days, still not sure what’s going on but it’s fun to explore!
Installed Decky LSFG-VK on the steamdeck recently, so I've been going around my library testing different games.
Played about 20 hours of starfield till i got to neon, varying between 80-100+ fps outside of a few areas like new atlantis that would choke my NV3080 as well. Went into a club and was reminded why I abandoned the game in the first place. It wasn't the poor optimization or the recycled gameplay. It was the fact that the game felt like there were no consequences, generic and hollow with absolutely no meaningful innovation. I really wanted to like it.
Moved on to Shadow of Mordor. Been having a blast.
Oh my I finally gave it a try inspired by your comment, and perfect 90 FPS in Diablo IV, I'm astonished
I've found that Power Tools and LSFG-VK go really well together.
I'm having fun getting my ass kicked on Hell Let Loose. Really enjoying walking for several minutes and then just dying without ever seeing the enemy.
One of my absolute favorite games despite the many frustrating moments. I hope you‘ll stick with it. The fun increases significantly once you get the hang of it.
I tried this a few years back, and while I enjoyed the concept on paper, in actual practice, I found it frustrating.
The main issue is I have no idea if someone is cheating. As much as something like a kill cam would ruin the immersion, it also would give me reassurance to know that the game is still fair.
I want to give it another shot one day and just try to accept that I have no idea if people are playing fairly lol.
Just recently got Sonic Lost World's installed on my steam deck with mods to make movement bearable and add the exclusive DLC.
Also still slowly grinding my way through Toon Town Rewritten. I'm currently at around maybe 22 laff points and am a few quests away from unlocking my 3rd gag.
I've been trying to thrive in Vintage Story, so far it's been kicking my ass the entire time (late bronze age) - I've got a friend hyped for Hytale, I'm hoping I can convince him to give VS a try too/instead...
I've been enjoying BeamNG again. There's been a couple uodates since i played last, with Automation, too, and so there's new stuff to do and new toys to play with.
I’m playing eFootball and RDR2. Why eFootball? Because it’s not bad free football game, not so hard to play when I’m using walking pad for physical activity. If you have same situation - please recommend some games
I play Helldivers 2 after purchasing my new Steam Deck. Mostly just focusing on achievements.
I'm playing Pokemon X on 3DS. I haven't played much of the series, I've only finished Pearl on DS ages ago, but I'm having fun with this one. I'm a bit confused about the combat, I don't really understand what options I have in battle or if the outcome is predetermined by the teams.
I'm trying the demo for Raidou. Seems like an interesting setting and the combat is pretty fun.
Re-subbed to FFXIV, I'm playing the post-Endwalker MSQ.
Pokemon typing and attack types are the most important thing. Water is good against fire etc etc. I think that's the main thing at least! I wana go back and finish pokemon X one day. I tried grinding for a special evee and I burnt myself out before I finished the actual game lol
Thanks. I do understand types (although can't remember some combinations). I was trying to understand strategies to use when using a neutral or disadvantaged type (using buffs/debuff for example) but couldn't find any (I don't think I understand the combat system overall that much).
I'm currently just going through the story trying to make a more or less balanced team. I'm just past the electric gym.
Wife and I are playing Borderlands 4. It's a fun romp of a game!
Arc Raiders and The Finals. I am an Embark fanboy apparently.
Finished Pokémon Z-A and loved it, now giving a try to the remake of Raidou: The Mystery of the Soulless Army! Curious about it as it seems to be in the same universe as Persona and the likes
I'm finishing up some bits and bobs in Metroid Prime 4 before committing to the point of no return.
I got "Nightingale" for free a while ago on EGS but I couldn't play it on my old PC. I just got a new so I can finally try it out. It's okay. Not great. It looks great though. It's just that the gameplay is a bit bland. I believe it's still in early access though, so things may change!
I enjoy Nightingale. The crafting system is pretty deep, but the combat is pretty meh.
Just finished Metroid Prime for the first time. It was really cool. Not sure how I feel about backtracking in metroidvanias, but I really enjoyed the world and the various bits and bobs of lore.
