As for me…
I’m playing OMORI and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
I just finished Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. One of the best games I’ve ever played, imho.
I plan to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom soon.
Tagging those that were here before. Cheers!
Could you tag me as well in future threads ?
Sure thing!
Me too please if it isn’t too much trouble :)
I was already here…
Gotcha.
I’m still making my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I liked Breath of the Wild, but didn’t love it. But the world feels much more alive in this new game. I’m at like 100 shrines completed and I’ve still only done one dungeon 😅
Yeah, I started the game and Tears of the Kingdom is much, much better than Breath of the Wild ever was.
But I’ll continue to play till the end.
Doki Doki Literature Club, for my communist fanfic. I just hope I can still sleep at night when I’m done with it.
I have the same issue with OMORI, though I would recommend that game highly.
Lately I’ve been playing Destiny 2 (of fucking course, I have over 2,400 hours in-game) and Gotham Knights.
On Gotham Knights, I’m grinding for Level 80 gear on Heroic Assault. And on Destiny 2, I’m completing seasonal challenges and experiencing the seasonal storyline. I really like Season of the Deep.
I’m really fucking ecstatic and beyond excited for multiple game announcements and reveals.
I pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and I’m hoping to be able to pre-order the Collector’s Edition of the new upcoming Spider-Man 2 game.
I’m fucking stoked for Starfield, it looks way better than I expected. I’m getting Skyrim vibes, mixed with a bit of Fallout and Mass Effect. I didn’t enjoy The Outer Worlds or No Man’s Sky, but this looks like something phenomenally better.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora honestly looks pretty good, which was unexpected for me, if I’m being honest.
I can definitely understand people’s complaints about Ubisoft games, but I feel like if any game was perfect for their formula, its Avatar. Even if its just Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed on Pandora, I’m beyond excited.
Same!
Currently playing Stellaris.(640h into it) Also interested in Starfield will probably pick it up around release.
I have Stellaris and every single expansion on Steam, but I’ve only played it for less than an hour, setting up my first save file.
I keep telling myself I’ll get to it eventually.
I’m currently bouncing between Elite Dangerous, Subnautica: Below Zero, and Monster Hunter Rise. I’ll probably try SF6 soon, which will be my first fighting game.
It might be my own first fighting game too.
how are you enjoying ED? its been months since I played, I skyrocketed my earnings by mining, eventually got 3-4 imperial cutters when there was an event with a sale on all imperial ships, and then mainly did trading in VR.
I enjoy ED here and there. Now that I have a fleet carrier and most of the ships I want, it’s more of a slow burn game for me that I play a little at a time. I usually explore when I’m playing more regularly, but lately I’m slogging through powerplay for exclusive parts.
It’s a fun game, but the devs could do better at drawing players in and keeping their attentions. At least the flight mechanics feel amazing, because I’ll take any excuse to keep doing that.
Currently playing the latest Expedition in No Man’s Sky
Eyyy, same. How far in are you?
I really should get to playing that game.
Boy Dyson Sphere Program has me sucked in. I’m on my second playthrough right now and inching towards getting purple cubes plugged in. I just got logistics building finally automated too.
I’m getting ready to start Cel 6 in Antimatter Dimensions as well but that game has sorts of taken a backseat.
I hear Dyson Sphere Program was also made by a Chinese studio. Pretty intriguing…
It is! And actually like half of the mod and blueprint content for the game is all in Chinese because I guess it’s pretty big over there. There’s even a channel on the discord for helping with translation errors.
Oh nice.
I’m playing a bit of eu4, I like strategy game
Noice.
Crusader Kings 3 and Hollow Knight
Removed by mod
Sounds great.
Been playing a bit of CK3 lately as well. Really enjoying Tours and Tournaments.
I’m TRYING to play Tears of the Kingdom. But I got sucked back into the infinite time pit that is Oxygen Not Included. Does anyone else here play?
I heard good things about the latter.
Yeah, it’s an awesome game! It’s a survival base builder to begin with, then it turns into a big materials science experiment later in the game.
hell yeah
Oh boy. Firstly Pathfinder: WotR was awesome. Lately I’ve been on cozy/sim kicks for some reason. Lots of EA games too. I’ve played most of Travellers Rest (decent, EA), Sun Haven (awesome, complete), Roots of Pacha (cool/different, complete). Waiting on some updates for The Ranchers (kickstarter - EA soon). Also played some tech tests for Palia (Cozy MMO? NDA active!) For strategy/4x games, I put some time into Spellforce, Against the Storm, Age of Wonder 4, and fired up Thea 2 again. All solid games. When I want to suck at games I hit Noble Fates, Dwarf Fortress, Necesse. If I want to be a rock star I fire up Vampire Survivors, or the EA for Starship Troopers. However, the other day I picked up Diablo 4, all seventy fucking dollars of it, because some friends from across the country were digging it, and now I’m level 30+ already because games are addicting.
The struggle though - Startfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 coming out within like a week of each other (or a day if you preorder). Fortunately at least Starfield is going to be on Xbox PC Game Pass, so I won’t have to shell out for it until it’s on sale and I want to play through it again with a whole new set of untagged achievements on steam. Like I did when I completed Skyrim, and got the special edition as a separate install for a fresh set of cheevos. Ugh.
Great time to be a gamer, but not enough time to be a gamer. :)
EA… games? As in Electronic Arts? I thought their games sucked?
Also, heard good things about Spellforce and Age of Wonder 4, though I’m not really an RTS fan and I don’t know if I want to start playing RTSes again (it’s been over a decade since I did, admittedly).
EA… games? As in Electronic Arts? I thought their games sucked?
Early Access
Oooohhhh
My bad.
EA as in early access, sorry for invoking electronic arts. AOW4 and Spellforce aren’t RTS… they’re more 4x, with turn based combat. Check out some videos on them and you’ll see how they play.
haha fair enough
ToTK almost done! Just switched to playing on Linux Mint (Yuzu) and it even runs smoother than Windows! I might not finish though, I feel like I played my fill.
And I’m playing Citizen Sleeper. It was in a top 10 games of 2022 list on a podcast I like and it’s great but there is a lot of reading.
I played the new SpongeBob, Cosmic Shake earlier. It’s a worthy successor to the series.
And I played Cassette Beasts, great spin on monster collecting which is on game pass, steam, xbox, and switch.
As far as summer games fest, I’m excited for “Stray Gods: the role playing musical.” “Beastieball” and “Despelote” look great too. Despelote was described by the creator as “like a half-remembered part of his childhood” when Ecuador was first allowed to compete in the (Football) World Cup.
My wish list has gotten massive between the Wholesome Direct, Devolver Direct, and the Intel Next show.
Citizen Sleeper 2 was just announced!! I’m so incredibly happy and hype it was “successfull” enough. Literally made my whole month probably
Wow! I’ll check it out!
btw excellent taste or rather similar taste to mine c: Also excited for Stray Gods and I’m still in the process of checking games out from the last few days, there are so many!
In case anyone doesn’t know this site already and wants to check stuff out without watching the whole presentations: https://2023.gamesrecap.io/
I need to get back to games I started recently like Boltgun, Terra Nil, but my time is limited. Hearthstone battlegrounds is my “I finally have a min” game or “the kids are in bed and I’m finally watching TV but need to feed my ADHD” game lol. I’m into the current battlegrounds update, I’m interested to see what the new patch has for changes.
Terra Nil is super chill if you’re looking for something to pass the time with.
I love the look and feel it 40K: Boltgun, little hard to play on the steam deck but it’s just a learning curve I think.
40K: Boltgun is supposed to be the best boomer shooter in a while now.
I plan to play it myself.
Lol I love/hate that it’s called a Boomer Shooter. I’m not getting old, I swear!
Haha!
Mostly just FFXIV, and some Squad
I really should get back to playing FFXIV.
I’m still in the hell that is FFXIV. :P
Really enjoyed the last patch, the Trial fight was pretty good and I adored how they wrapped up the Normal raid series for this expansion.
I never got past the first arc or part of Final Fantasy XIV but I did enjoy it; problem is that I lost my subscription at a certain point.
Ah that sucks. The first part is the roughest and it starts getting really good in the next expansion.
I… actually liked the first part, but lost my subscription, as I said previously.
