I’m slowly continuing my playthrough of Divinity: Original Sin II and absolutely loving it.
I also recently bought Stardew Valley, finally, and started playing it a bit.
Last one, Mushihimesama as the c/shmups Game of the Month.

I finally got my PS3 emulator up and running, so I’m finally able to play Sly 4 for the first time.
It’s… different from the others. First in art, second on overall feel. The art is changed for a more cartoon aesthetic than comic book, so animation in the 2D cutscenes is more fluid and there are more details on everything (you can see the wrinkles in Sly’s shirt, and the tufts of fur, for instance). The gameplay feels more floaty, like when you jump it looks like you kinda hover for a second before falling back down and it feels a little more weightless than the first three games.
I’m still liking that I get to play more Sly, so I’m not complaining too much.

Sekiro. The difficulty rises drastically with Demon of Hatred and Isshin.

You’re not kidding. I think my death count on Demon is the highest for me in any FromSoft game.

I’m going back through the Pokémon series again (out of order). Currently playing through Yellow

Playing Binding of Isaac finally. I was a little disappointed with the difficulty honestly! One of my most heavily played games ever is another Roguelike - DCSS. To be clear that one is turn-based, which is very different, but it took me years and dozens at least, probably low hundreds of runs to beat it.
I’m sure I’ll be quickly humbled by the hard-mode difficulty and challenges and such on this one though. Super rewarding, fun, and extremely replayable! Great game. The different characters can play really differently, and through RNG you can def end up with some hilariously weak, or strong, builds.

Crusader Kings 2 (yes, I know that 3rd one exists). After conquering the world in vanilla (at last!), I am checking the mods. Currently playing ElderKings (Elder Scrolls mods).

Game list:
- NHL99 - tried again but no luck
- Colin McRae Rally 04
- Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
Full version
I once again spent some time trying to run NHL99 but couldn’t get it to work. I’m honestly close to giving up on this one which is a shame because I really wanted to see how the game holds up. To make myself feel better about this failure I decided to reinstall Colin McRae Rally 04. I already played this one last year so I’m well aware it works beautifully - this time was no different.
I mostly ran some random races as I’m not really in a mood for full championship this time. Either way, it’s a fun game. I don’t know why but I really love these old rally titles. Now if I could find some time to try running one of Sega Rally Championship games, that would be great. Last week I mentioned getting close to the end of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War and, well, I finished it. My feelings didn’t really change since the last post - the final levels were challenging but fun (I’m not sure what is it with these guys and shoving you into tight hallways in a jet but whatever) and the game over all was a really enjoyable experience. While I don’t think I liked this one more than 4, this playthrough still confirmed my plan to continue with the series.
I don’t know when I’m going to play the next one (I’ll probably give it a few months to focus on other titles) but it’ll happen. My only gripes with the experience have nothing to do with the game funnily enough but rather my platform of choice - the Steam Deck. While the small screen worked great for the most part, there were a few segments where I felt it ended up being detrimental to my performance. Not a game breaking thing but still.
The second, more important, issue has to do with controls. I’m not sure I like playing AC on the Deck. It really feels like there’s something wrong with my ability to execute quick and precise manoeuvres in more difficult situations. I actually ended up switching to my desktop monitor and PS3 controller to finish the game (the latter brought an especially noticeable difference).Last but not least, I’m once again plugging my Pixelfed account - I created it, might as well let people know it exists. I’ve added some more screenshots since last week, this time from The Elder Scrolls Online and Remember Me.
I’ll try to keep a decent variety of titles posted there - both to keep it interesting (I hope) and because that’s just how I play games most of the time. One thing I can promise though is that most, if not all, of the titles posted there will be worthy of the patient gamer community.thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Out of sheer curiosity, what’re the issues you’re experiencing with NHL99?
I’d have thought a title that old (25+ years) would emulate just fine?
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m trying to play the PC version so no emulation here. As for the issue, the game simply freezes on launch (right after the EA Sports splash).
It seems to be a Linux (well, WINE) related issue since I was able to boot it up on Win10 a moment ago. It might be an problem with the graphics card detection tool failing during setup (it can’t load a dll for that) but I have no idea how to fix that.
I might have to spend some time looking into it now that I have a lead. Thanks for that.

Your ESO screenshots look good! It has been my go-to for a while now, it’s been fun. It’s a shame the community on Lemmy isn’t that busy, but I guess there’s not a lot of players here yet.
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thanks! I don’t really “play” ESO as much as I use it as a sightseeing simulator at the moment but yeah, both normal gameplay and just running around can be quite enjoyable. They did a great job with the world and quest design.

Well, it’s a self-perpetuating problem of small communities - no one engages with them so they look like ghost towns scaring people away. Someone has to be the one to get the ball rolling if they’re to thrive wink wink nudge nudge.

I’ve been playing x beyond the frontier, great space exploration game, there is a story but i don’t really care about it.
Just “flying” through space with that soundtrack is such a relaxing thing, is great to play while a watch a cartoon or youtube video, or maybe just listen to a podcast.
I also got x2 and x3 with that one, once i’m finished with this one i might go for the sequels

Castlevania: aria of sorrow, more raycrysis from the ray’z cronology, and I might finally buy the first leynos port for ps4.
where is the line between patient and retro gamer?

Warframe, I’m at the point where I can start steel path, but for some reason I decided I wanted to max-level all factions before doing so, and I’ve come too far to not do it, only got 3 left.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Only have time to play on the weekends, so I’m in slow mode. But enjoying navigation on the sea.

I just set up Kingdom Hearts 2 on PCSX2 to try and decide if I'm gonna buy it on Steam.
Other than that, I'm finishing my The Wonderful 101 Hard playthrough on the way to 100% the game, and trying to beat all of Ken Amada's combo challenges in P4AU—27 down, 3 to go.

Final Fantasy VII Remake, finally. Put in 4 or 5 hours right off the bat, put it down 4 or 5 years, picked it back up and now I’m about halfway through.
lath@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Haven’t been playing much this week yet. I guess Airborne Kingdom relaxed me too much and I felt the need to mellow down for a while longer.
Someone shared Grounded with me to try it out, but I haven’t felt the mood to give it a go for now. Maybe by weekend time I’ll be in the mood to feel tiny and fight giant, scary bugs/spiders.

I got back into Mini Metro. Wonderful minimalistic game.

I love that game, I’m bad at it but it’s a really chill experience. Until it all goes wrong.
