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.
Fallout 4. After the disappointment that was Starfield, I had a hankering for a Bethesda style game and while not perfect Fallout 4 is just miles ahead and is still a lot of fun today.
Getting back into Monster Hunter World! Trying to tackle those endgame Iceborne quests and getting my ass kicked quite often. It's really satisfying getting a good build going with armor set bonuses and stacking skills.
Also finally playing Super Mario Odyssey. What a game. The controls are so tight and responsive. I love exploring every nook and cranny, high and low, and almost always getting some kind of reward out of every effort and idea.
I wanna get back into MHW, but those unskippable cutscenes at the beginning are a PITA
I felt the same! Luckily if you're on PC there's a mod you can easily install that allows you to skip cutscenes and it works very smoothly.
I played Everything today. That was both hilarious and wonderful. Like Proteus and Mountain it's definitely not a game for everyone, but if some silliness and philosophy doesn't scare you away, you're probably going to enjoy it.
Edit: If you'd rather just watch it as a short film, then that's possible too: https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/SrNsE3Jo-dYsrOfVj or you can let the game play itself for you if you'd rather just lean back and take it all in. Just leave the game unattended for a while and it will start playing itself. Settings for autoplay can be edited in the game's settings menu.
RDR2 2nd play through. Just taking my time and exploring in chapter 2.
I managed to get a copy of Chu Chu Rocket for Dreamcast, so that's been one I've been playing. But I've also continued with my addiction to Backpack Hero (even if it's slowly fading).
I've started playing Vintage Story, and I can't stop!
Xcom: Enemy Within, Long War mod. Firaxis made a masterpiece of a series with Xcom and Xcom 2, and I'm finally delving into the Long War mod made by Pavonis Interactive, and it just adds so much refinement to the game.
And I'm working on finally getting save scumming out of my system, once and for all lol. Its long past time I stopped being a scrub and got good.
Unravel 2 and Darq .......Amazing games
Going through Fable Anniversary, with Fallout 3 waiting in the wings.
Just finished the Talos Principle 2. Now installing Hades.
Just finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and then started Hogwarts Legacy.
I'm back on the Grimdawn life. This game is like crack.
I just beat evil West and cyberpunk 2077. I've been playing through death's stranding and today I booted up Chernobylite and I'm having a great time.
I'm absolutely smitten with Cobalt Core. It's been called "FTL meets Slay the Spire," but I'd say it's more the former than the latter (which works for me, I liked FTL a lot more). There's also a dash of Hades-style storytelling. This won't have the legs StS can have for the deckbuilding nerds, but I'm having a blast with it.
The writing cracks me up, the soundtrack is phenomenal, and the strategy is keeping me engaged. Also, must protect Riggs at all costs. 💜
I was playing Laika for a bit. The difficulty is pretty brutal - one of the harder games I've played in awhile. Like, you can randomly die from basic movement mechanics if you're not paying attention. I wasn't having fun anymore, so I had to drop it.
Moved on to Going Under, and that's a lot more my speed
