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.
Path of Exile, 3.22 league
This world is an illusion, exile.
exile has tested you (too lol) my brother
Not about videogames, but my master announced that our DnD campaign will be put on hiatus after the current arc is finished, as he doesn’t have time anymore to prep.
I’m considering mastering a short campaign, but it’s really difficult. I don’t like half-assing things and I end up spending too much time on prep, and eventually stop having fun.
It’s also a very heterogeneous group this time around, compared to the last time I mastered a campaign, which makes things a bit more difficult.
You gotta put “game” or “dungeon” in front of the word “master” for this my dude.
I’m still playing BG3: I’ve just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I’m finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I’m also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we’ll see how that comes along.
Every time I try to role play as an evil protagonist I start feeling bad for NPCs or get fomo about rewards I’ll be missing. Not sure if I’ve gone full evil since Fable 1.
Finally finished my first playthrougb of disco Elysium. Absolute masterpiece. Can’t wait to do a full schizo second run.
I’m enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3. I tried rolling a Sorcerer.
I’m currently addicted to BG3! I spent basically my entire weekend playing, and I think I’m close to the end of act 1. I’m playing a Druid.
I started helping a friend with his first playthrough of Elden Ring and I’ve been completely sucked back in. I’ve got a couple new characters going now
My SO and I just played Stray after coming out of both Plague Tale parts and boy,do I tell you that was the weirdest crossover.
Now we at least kow what the post-credit scene in Plague Tale: Requiem meant.
Gave Fallout New Vegas another Go, started it 10 years ago but never finished it for some reasons, life happened blah blah… I am very excited to take a few hours out of every week for it!
I’m back to For Honor and Factorio, two games I gave a go when they came out and haven’t played since, and loving then
I’ve wasted so much time in Factorio…
I just started with oil (for the first time getting that far and made my first train too!) and I can’t help but want to start over again from scratch to make everything cleaner…
The factory must grow, yes but THERE MUST BE ORDER
I also made a circuit system which was actually surprisingly simple. I only did it to make it so that it would leave some oil behind in a tank instead of pushing it all into the train, but it was pretty cool
You can always just start a new base next to your old base and divert resources to the new one. Eventually you can just delete the old base.
Decided to get back into vanilla Factorio, i definitely like it more
I’m waiting for the DLC. Kinda scared, though. When I last played I was jobless, depressed, living at home and would play for ~10 hours a day.
I want a mod that makes it a little easier to get to the logistics robots faster, but without a complete overhaul, the extensive mods are too much for me…m
The upcoming DLC has improvements for bots. Can’t remember the details but one of the FFF explains it. Might solve some of your problems.
Forza for exactly 30 minutes. And I won’t continue.
I’m on my second attempt at playing Dark Souls 1 on PC. I know it’s a meme but holy moly does this game not give a fuck about you. Lately I’ve been trying to play games on harder difficulties and avoid guides in order to be forced to utilize every mechanic, but Dark Souls is breaking me.
The lack of direction the player is given and unforgiving gameplay is too much for me though. I’ve resorted to looking up tips on combat, builds, and items, and how to progress now and again.
Overall though it’s a lot of fun. The enemies are so well designed and every time I see a miniboss waiting for me in the distance my butt clenches, which is a very fun experience that not many games are able to deliver.
I still think there are aspects of the game that are needlessly frustrating. Some enemies seem like a cruel joke, mainly the freaking ghosts that move and attack through walls. Also I wish there was more direction, NPCs I could talk to or something that would give me ideas on where I should be going. Wandering around and dying repeatedly is only fun for so long imo.
I’m glad a game like this exists for people who are not whiny wusses like me though.
It took me three attempts for me to finally enjoy it, and get through the whole game, I feel you. The game’s high barrier to entry is its biggest flaw.I’m glad you’re enjoying it
I don’t know how far you’ve gotten, but unless you’re reasonably far through the game, you should not go to see those ghosts. Try going back to the start, and then upwards.
My partner and I are chest-deep into BG3. We had a third teammate, but he got too busy with life…and wasn’t really a team player to begin with. But we’re absolutely loving the game and have happily become unproductive members of society since we started playing a few weeks ago.
Cyberpunk 2077, really love the story and character interactions. Still buggy as hell though lol.
Still after all this time? What platform?
Depending on which of my friends are around:
World War Z
Payday 3
DarkTideOr with my kids:
Minecraft
Monster Hunter World/Rise
Terraria
Plants vs Zombies: Garden WarfareGonna try out the Enshrouded Steam Next demo this week.
