I’ve been playing Dead Space remake on PS5 since it was free last month. Still haven’t beaten it yet as I’ve had very little time. Been loving it though. Just hope I finish by the time the Christmas season starts in earnest haha. Kind of conflicting vibes.

Been wanting to play this soooo bad.
Definitely pickong it up after Ys.
Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
The remake is soo good. They really nailed it. Kept the good bits and updated the bad. They even fixed the asteroids turret section, it’s actually really fun in the remake.

I’m just wrapping up my first playthrough of Fallout 3. I’m not “done” but I finished the main storyline and am starting to lose steam with side quests and DLC. So I may wind up putting it down soon.
But I really enjoyed it. I’ll probably play something else for a while, then give New Vegas a try.

I picked up darkest dungeon and all of the expansions for real cheap, really like the artwork in that game
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 months ago
The artwork is cool. But the game itself is too difficult for me.
BillibusMaximus@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I haven’t played it, but my wife thought it was too difficult, also.
However, I was talking to a coworker and he mentioned that one of the DLCs really ramped up the difficulty, so she should try it without that particular DLC (sorry, I don’t recall which one).
Anyway, she turned off that DLC and found it much more playable. In fact, I’m pretty sure she went on to finish it.
So if you’re keen to give it another go, you might try it without whichever DLC it is that makes it harder.

Half Life 2 VR mod after finishing Alyx. Alyx itself was a fantastic VR experience, but the hype is such that I probably don’t need to explain it.

I gave Darkest Dungeon a try yesterday and it’s been a lot of fun. I love the whole premise of “getting the best of a bad situation” and learning to pass on with any mistakes and misfortune. Dealing with your inner perfectionist is a valuable skill and this game teaches you just that.

My spouse and I started Terraria on a whim. After going in blind and thoroughly getting out butts kicked the first night, we found the wiki, started a new game, and have survived a few nights now.
We’re trying to avoid spoilers, so only read the tutorial and getting started pages of the wiki. The mechanics on xbox aren’t always intuitive, and building is especially painful so far.
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Terraria is one of my favorite games ever! I’ve been playing it since 2011.
In case you missed them, the guide has some extremely helpful dialogue options. At least on PC. I can’t imagine they’d leave that out of the Xbox version.
ChaosCoati@midwest.social 2 months ago
Thanks, I’ll look for it

Trying to finish Hades epilogue, it’s pretty grindy tbh. Afterward might be Factorio space age.

Thank you for making it biweekly!

No problem! If we’ve still got lots of activity for a few of these posts I’ll try weekly

Could we unpin the other thread? It has been there since August…

I picked up the PC version of Alan Wake. Heard a lot of hype and it connects to Control. Gameplay is… Idk. Aim and shoot at dark monsters. I do like the effect around the enemies though.
Then I found out my Switch is not fried, so ive continued my Tears of the Kingdom save after beating it. There’s just so much to do in the game it’s a lot of fun.
caseofthematts@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Alan Wake is a game that should be right up my alley, but I don’t think it’s a particularly good game. It’s very repetitive, the gameplay doesn’t evolve that much. The story is fine, and the world is interesting. I haven’t played the sequel, particularly because I didn’t really enjoy my time with the first, but I’ve heard it’s much improved over the first.
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Still playing Wazhack solo, and Stardew Valley (heavily modded) with my sibling. I have no idea when Orna came out, but we’re all trying that because Pokémon GO got more annoying in general.

addicted to mini motorways is all I’m willing to disclose
caut_R@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Catching up on Vampire Survivors updates when solo.
It Takes Two with gf. Awful story IMO, we’re just skipping the cutscenes now. But great diverse gameplay and visual setpieces.
Gonna start Darksiders Genesis with a friend this weekend now that our run through Quake II remastered is done. I liked Quake II 64 (lol) the most out of the lot tbh. The levels were way less confusing. The Nightdive-made DLC was also great.
B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 2 months ago
State of Decay 2, I’m not normally one for zombies but so far so good. I need to convince my wife to join as it could be more fun in co-op.

Ocarina of Time PC port. Free can is such a game changer

Started a new character on one of my favorites Dark Souls 3. I just prefer these style FromSoft games than full on open world like Elden Ring. I still like Elden Ring but open world is not my favorite like so many other people seem to like.
cod@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m undecided. I’d consider Dark Souls III, Elden Ring, and Sekiro to be my 3 favourite games ever and I have no idea what order I’d put them in. I love both the open world and linear worlds
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nice yea I love FromSoft ever since the original Demon’s Souls
Gh_stt@lemmy.eco.br 2 months ago
Valdis Story, I’m on the beginning but already loving it, seems like a really solid Metroidvania

Lair of the Clockwork God
I will probably also try Hogwarts Legacy next week when my kids get out of school for Thanksgiving.
I’m also going to try Fire Emblem: Engage on Switch, it’s been a while since I played a Fire Emblem game.

My fledgling settlement of Highjade in the steamy tropics got hit by transport pod raiders. Four of them barged into my fab lab and killed my main crafter, then trashed the equipment. A few days prior my only drug maker was kidnapped, so I’ve run out of penicillin too. On the bright side I still have a masterwork sniper rifle and I thanks to all the flagstones I’ve laid, no infestations in a long while.

After finishing Citizen Sleeper, I’ve been trying again to get into Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. I’m still struggling, and it’s kinda bewildering. I’ve been an Ys fan since I was little and this is the first time I haven’t been able to get into one of them. I’m happy when I’m in a dungeon. Otherwise, I can’t get on with the story and cast (like Ys VIII, it’s a heavier focus here).
A friend suggested I continue on with Horizon, so I’ll probably pick up The Frozen Wilds this week, too.

Stardew Valley and Ys origin.
With Stardew, It started on mobile, grew with an old Bluetooth xbone controller for combat, moved on to PC for the mods, and am now learning modding to add some things I missed from the mobile version 😁
Ys origin for when I want a break from Stardew. Simple demon bashing is quite therapeutic.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Ys Origin is one of my favorite games. :)
caseofthematts@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think it might be my favourite of the Ys series, to be honest. So simple and fun.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I started a new game with .6 updates. Lots of cool little things he added. I don’t even need more for awhile. But the smart containers is kindof a must have mod imo
