    RuneScape. Always heard about how “grindy” it is. 1 hour in and I think I’m beginning to understand.

      The exp requirements for each skill level are exponential for every seventh level, so the half way point in fully levelling a skill works out to be level 92 (out of 99)

      Wow you really were patient about this one

      The first 10-20 levels of any skill are pretty quick, but then it becomes much slower to progress.

    I gave the first Armored Core a try and played a few missions. The movement is rather clunky coming straight from the buttery smooth Armored Core 6. However, the other systems seem pretty robust for the first game in the series.

    Dragon Age Origins for the first time. I think I’m at the climax of the Redcliffe arc, and finally I understand why people call Veilguard “disneyfied”.

      Why is that? I played Origins on ps3 but I’ve never played any of the sequels, so I have no idea.

        The games followed a similar path as elder scrolls. Very heavy RPG in the beginning, DAO is very similar to BG3 in that way. As the games came out they stripped RPG elements slowly, although I recall the second game still being very much an RPG.

        Then inquisition and veilguard dropped the RPG elements and became action games. You generally choose what type of action you like (caster, rogue, warrior) and thats all of the roleplaying involved.

        Veilguard specifically is a re-skin of Hogwarts legacy, so if you tried that then you know what it will be like. Maybe the newer assassins creed games would be a good comparison too, heavy action, minor RPG.

        “We might be able to banish the demon and save your son.”
        “Really?”
        “No, it’s just fun to get your hopes up. I’m gonna kill the kid.”

        Veilguard doesn’t let you be an absolute dick the way Origins did. The story (what little I’ve seen) is filtered and sanitized like it’s meant for six-year-olds. It also approaches sensitive topics, like the gender of one character, with the graceful and delicate touch of a fucking brick.

    Playing through Hades 1. I never got out of Hades until this time around, and I’m having fun grinding to complete some of the fated choices and lounge renovations.

      Have fun, in my opinion it only gets better as you go

      source
      • Telorand@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That’s been my experience, too! I was a little worried, after I got out the first time, that I would have no more reason to keep playing, but they did a good job giving the player something(s) to keep working towards.

    I have been waiting for the AEW Wrestling game Fight Forever to be cheap, and am having a lovely time! It’s very fun to play, and has an okay roster (i got DLC with it).

    I wouldn’t be thrilled with buying on release at £50 and then £80 on DLC, but under 20 for the lot seemed okay :) definitely not perfect, but a fun game with some cool details. :)

    Been on Monster Hunter Sunbreak for a couple weeks now. It’s absolutely become my favorite modern monhun game, and it’s significantly improved my mental state.

    Also playing Redout 2 and Blue Revolver, an old bullet hell shmup that just got a massive game revision.

    Other than that, I was playing NFSU2 because of the 20th anniversary and the release of a great soft-remaster mod

    Got back into Slay the Spire on a whim. Nice little turn based card thingy, with beautiful art, and fun synergies.

    source
    • MarauderIIC@dormi.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Spire Together (I think that’s the name) is a pretty good co-op mod as well

      source
    • Berttheduck@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Love slay the spire, one of my favourite rogue likes. I love how many viable builds it has, just a little knowledge and you can make most runs viable.

    Gave Warframe a shot again, game is still shit, but I am still having fun, so we’ll see how long that lasts.

    source
    • MarauderIIC@dormi.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sometimes I just like killing rooms of enemies by walking around. I like Warframe for that - specifically I have a Gyre build that goes pretty hard even through steel path. Nice brain off time.

      source
    • rtxn@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I have 4700 hours on Warframe and feel more or less the same.

  • AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’ve been replaying Pillars of Eternity II - in fact I have the tavern music stuck in my head right now. Mostly I just need some CRPG gameplay, so I’m not doing anything wildly different with my character this time around. Maybe I should do an evil run…
    Knowing how the ending works, I’m still not sure which faction to go with.

    • DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I just started the first one, took me a few tries to really get into it but I’m enjoying it a lot now. I feel like it’s a little bit harder to get into all the lore compared to something like dragon age or elder scrolls. But the gameplay is amazing

      source
      • AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah, my main complaint with PoE 1 is the way it bludgeons you with lore. The writers are so excited to show off this massive world they’ve invented, they just aren’t very artful about it.

        source
    • mmhmm@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Starting deadfire today :)

      source
      • AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The tone is much less dour than the first one, and I think it does a better job introducing the world. It’s still a lot to take in, but all of the text has links you can click on that explain anything you don’t recognize.

    Took me a while, but I finally took the time to play Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2, and recently started Watch Dogs: Legion.

    Sand Land. The style is great. Story is pretty cool and well delivered. Gameplay is meh. Feels like a watered down Mad Max.

    source
    • Oka@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The game felt like it would be better as an anime.

      Then the anime came out on Hulu.

    Pseudoregalia. Indie game with ridiculous movement tech. Very fun!

    source
    • Varyag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That one is great! I love this indie trend of low poly graphics.

      source
  • 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Half Life: Opposing Force Never Players it before and the movement feels a lot faster than modern games. Its a good and fun game.

    • lordnikon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah growing up with that and quake 2 modern games always feels like im running in quicksand or my controls are broken.

        This is why I cannot abide the Halo series. I came to them having been raised on Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Half-Life. Halo was like moving through molasses.

    Does Half-Life 2 count? I played it years ago but fully replayed it over a couple of days to hear the new developer commentary. I never thought Valve would get around to making one for Half-Life 2, so I’m glad they did.

    Factorio, checking out Space Age. Discovered that Cliff Explosives are moved further down the tech tree…

      Same, bought space age but loading up a new save file just makes my heart ache for my immaculate bus and signal setups

      My friend and I have just been using nukes lol. Bonus is you can see where cliffs used to be in the mini map it’s fun

    Friend bought me ToTK so I’ve been having fun with that.

      I’m not a spoiler person but look up the order you should visit the glyphs if you want maximum impact.

    I have been playing Stardew Valley because the real world sucks and everybody can piss off 😠
