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! ☺️
I should pick it up again to finish it. Such a good game! But the live service hell of Destiny is keeping me occupied.
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!
I’m jealous. I still haven’t picked up a PS5 and I love the Spiderman games!
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!!
Sony is releasing pretty much all their first party games on PC now. Not day 1 like Xbox, but they usually come in couple of years.
So what I’m hearing is I need to build myself a new PC.
Haha yeah. Which PS exclusives are you interested in? I can check if there’s any of them that’s not available on PC.
Mostly interested in Spiderman and God of War games. Played the crap out of those as a kid.
The Wandering Village
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?
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.
Dark souls remaster and probably some vampire survivors.
Stellaris
GTA Online! I’m basic i know haha
I’m continuing on my first play through ni no kuni 2
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.
Playing with any specific build?
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.
Ah, I didn’t mean mod, I meant character build. Like a sniper, or melee focused thief, or smooth talking bard or something 😀
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.
Wow, I didn’t even know you can reach level 129.
I love Fallout and Bethesda RPGs, but for some reason I couldn’t get into Fallout 4. It’s on my list of “give another try” list, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
When I couldn’t get into it, I searched different things about the game, and found out character builds of all kind. Everything from simple ones like sniper, melee etc to weird ones, like ‘The Ninja’, and then some even weirder ones on YouTube.
Yea, I can understand. The early part of the game is marred by Preston Garvey giving one assignment after another, and having to rush off the defend settlements.
But FO4 has a quite elaborate settlement building component, and after ringing them with turrets and other defenses, they can pretty much take care of themselves, leaving more time to wander.
There’s quite a variety of things to see outside the city. My favorites are the Glowing Sea to the south west and Far Harbor to the north east (DLC).
The thing that really gives FO4 longevity, for me, is that the leveling up has no upper limit. Whatever character traits one picks initially should theoretically converge to a character with everything.
Yeah, maybe I should give it another go.
That’s nice about leveling. This is how I like playing Bethesda games. First play-through, I do everything I want. Then when I feel the urge to play them again after a while, I play a specific class. Like playing, just a melee fighter in Skyrim, or so on.
I’m so excited for Starfield because I miss the sense of exploration in Elder Scrolls and Fallout.
Oh yea! I’m really ready for the immersion in a new universe!
That’ll be the catalyst for me buying an Xbox Series X.
Age of Empires 2
Not on Xbox, but you could!
Love that game. I’ve been slowly playing through the campaign on my laptop when I’m away from home.
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?
Have you tried the Xbox looking for group function?
Will give that another try, but previously I found some very weird groups there or just a lot of empty groups.
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
Frostpunk since Sunday. I was just able to handle the London people, now I’m getting sick of it.
I’ve been interested in trying Frostpunk. Would you recommend?
I absolutely recommend if economy management is your jam.
I do enjoy a good economy management. I loved Banished on PC.
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.
Banished looks great, and seems to have good support for linux. Going to give it a try!
Thanks for the recommendation.
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.
Heard a bunch of praises for Assassin’s Creed Origins, so I’ve just started that up recently. Very fun so far - looking forward to exploring around Egypt.
Of the three newest ones it is the best.
Yakuza 6 followed by Judgment and various Doom games (the original, 64, and Eternal to be exact).
I absolutely loved Judgement and its sequel. 100%ed both of them. Fantastic games. My first entry into the Yakuza games.
Max Payne 3. It is good, but it barely let’s you breath.
