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.
Just bought ratchet and clank rift apart on PC and really enjoying it. Playing in bed on my steam deck has taken over my last few nights
Talos Principle 2.
Such a good game.
I loved playing the first one, looking forward to playing 2 when it goes on sale in the future
I wasn’t going to jump on it because I have an enormous game backlog, but buying the bundle (pre-launch), since I already owned the first one, was $25. Money very well spent for this game in my opinion.
Very little time to play lately, so when I can I do a couple of runs in Dead Cells. Managed to get my friends online last Friday and we had a good session of Deep Rock Galactic. Good fun.
I’ve bought all the soulsborne games on release going back to Demons Souls, and I just sucked at them.
I am finally playing Bloodborne after giving up at the first boss many times over the years, playing co op with my girlfriend, who has beaten them all and platinumed quite a few.
While I got good enough to beat most of them, except Sekiro, I just couldn’t get the rhythm of Bloodborne, and always gave up, even though I know many people consider it the best in the series.
Going back to my tried and true method of “Just keep grinding and leveling up till you figure it out” finally worked, I beat the first main boss yesterday (with her as summons).
Really looking forward to this one as I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers.
I’ve sunken my teef into disco elysium great game having hella a Time
I bought it on my daughter’s PS5, and got a few hours in, but then she sold the PS5.
Might get a chance to try again some day. 🤷🏻♂️
Elden Ring on PS4 Pro, with the volume turned up to cover the jet engine sound
I recently fell back into super monkey ball banana mania and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. Outside of that, it’s been a good rotation of call of duty and the binding of Isaac. If you couldn’t tell, I really love slamming my head against the wall as well
Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5): I am gonna be getting the DLC when I can and I needed to check out the new update they dropped a couple months ago. The new perks are insane and the game has never felt so alive, clean and breathing. Love it and I already had a few hundred hours into it previously.
Elden Ring (PS5): Always looking for co-op players. Seriously. I need more people to play with. Shoot me a message. I love the game but I can’t say I’m good at it despite like… 600 hours. I mean I can hold my own but I’m not awesome or anything. Doesn’t help that I am running a spellcaster build.
Also reinstalled a couple base builders and RTS games like Planet Coaster, Evil Genius 2, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, etc.
Sorcerers in Elden Ring and Dark Souls have always been my favourite builds. If you’re having fun, then you’re good at the game and magic is definitely fun to play around with
Well I can get through most bosses. I just end up running screaming from most of them lol
I got foxhole a few days ago, and while I haven’t done anything aside from Frontline fighting yet, I’m hooked.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve mainly been doing logistics. But sometimes I’ll bring up a field gun or tank to use.
The Hunter: Call Of The Wild. Not as focused of a hunting game as you think. I find it a super chill walking nature simulator with amazing views and animal models.
I got into this game when RDR2 awakened a need for a good hunting game in me. I really enjoyed my time with it! Looking forward to the fishing one once they iron out most of the issues.
I wish they were the same game I’d pay twice for it as the Angler forests, ambience and maps are no where near as good as the hunter. Waiting for a need zone? Throw a line out and have a fish.
I barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!
I’m finding it a bit underwhelming to be honest. It was so hyped, but it just feels like Dark Souls 4. I don’t find the open world really adds a lot apart from a lot of empty space filled with crafting components. The worlds in souls and sekiro were so carefully crafted and put together and I feel like the open world ruins that a bit. I guess after Sekiro did something similar but significantly different, I was expecting Elden Ring to be a bit more innovative. If I hadn’t already played the hell out of the three Dark Souls games I might enjoy Elden more. I’ll probably still beat it though and might change my opinion by the end - I certainly hated Sekiro and Dark Souls at times before I came to love them.
I am curious to see if your opinion changes as you get through it, as the more I explore the more I find unexpectedly unique and interesting areas (caves, wells, ruins, manors, towers, etc) with unique and well designed enemies and bosses at every turn. It may help a lot that I have never played a souls game so it all feels very new to me!
The little red ball things that give you health when you kill them make exploring the map so much fun. I made it a challenge to see how far I could explore without resting at a grace by actively seeking out those red ball enemies and it was so much fun.
Thrive. Essentially spore 2. Been in development 10 years and is entirely free to play. If you want to support them it’s €4 on steam.
Really getting into the God of War on PC. Also, Blizzcon kinda refreshed my hopes in Overwatch, so have been coming back to it, as well
I have never owned a PlayStation but played GoW on PC last year and enjoyed every minute of it. It ran great and was a great story and combat system. I can’t wait for ragnarok to come to PC.
Honestly same
What about Blizzcon brought hope for you? I remember they actually cut off the world championship livestream halfway through so they could do their presentation instead.
I’ve never had much hope for eSports anyway, so not that :) But the “what’s next” section had some pretty promising stuff planned for next year. Of course, there’s always chance it could end up like PvE promises, but the new stuff should start coming in only like 2-3 months from now, so I am wait and see.
I guess it’s not that I full 100% hopeful for OW now, but rather cautiously optimistic - which is still an upgrade over how I used to feel
Red Dead
Alan Wake Remastered since I’ve never played it and want to be caught up for Alan Wake 2
Detroit become human, my PC struggling with it at 1080p. I’m still having a lot of fun though
I finally tried Death Stranding a couple of days ago. I’m still on it. The visuals and storytelling are quite compelling.
I do understand why it’s not for most people, though. You do put a lot of effort into walking, but honestly, I’ve played harder games for less, so it’s quite alright for me.
You do eventually get better accessories and become faster.
Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart is also an amazing game. Rather relaxing to play. The visuals and story are also quite nice.
Nice choice on both. Death Stranding in particular I think I put more effort into building infrastructure to trivialise or avoid walking than I did on anything else. And I loved it.
I salute your efforts. Mainly because I stand to benefit :D.
Dome Keeper, Rogue Company, and Dune: Spice Wars.
Alan Wake 2. Amazing mechanics. It is so unnerving I can’t play for too long at night.
Underrail, the LMGs in the new expansion just shred everything.
I’ve been drawn back into modded terraria recently and loving every minute. Highly recommend modded if you’ve played before or if you’re new to terraria magic storage is an amazing addition that doesn’t change the core experience.
got a chance to try lethal company on steam - it’s a really fun online co-op horror roguelike where you scavenge for parts on moons that may or may not be inhabited. corporate doesn’t care what’s in these caves as long as it makes them money. great with friends or randoms, the proximity chat makes for a fun and scary experience with a drg / viscera cleanup style corporate setting.
also played through most of greener grass awaits, which is a unique and fun horror golf game - also free. i recommend at least trying it out, the horror gameplay elements mesh with the golf in a novel way that makes for a rare horror game with engaging moment to moment gameplay.
Path of Exiles. Been many years since I last played, so it’s pretty much a new game to me.
Also playing Sea of Thieves, but not as much as I’d like - it’s boring sailing solo.
I had a whole earlier this year where I was playing nothing but SoT, nothing but solo slooping. Idk why, there’s just something calming about the open sea when on your own; but there’s also something harrowing about it too.
I had set a goal of saving up for my own ship, so when they came out with the 50% off sale this summer it was the perfect time to grind a bit. Then once I had my own “captained” ship I was able to make WAY more money.
The Finals Playtest. To be honest it is pretty fun.
Sad the beta is over, I was just finding my groove as medium after playing small the whole time.
Mostly Inkbound. 2 friends suggested it on the same day a couple weeks ago so I gave it a shot. It kind of feels like turn based Hades. There’s enough RNG to keep things interesting, and enough choice to let you explore different builds.
Also playing KeyWe with my girlfriend. It’s a series of mini games where you play as kiwi birds in a post office. Some of the tasks can feel tedious and the mechanics could use some polish, but overall it’s a good co-op game with cute animals and outfits.
I miss THE FINALS. I hope it releases before Christmas
Spiderman remastered.
Last month I replayed assassin’s creed, now on ac 2. Its still soo good. Somehow managed to fully upgrade the villa before memory block 5, so I guess no need to worry about money anymore. You could say this playthrough Ezio bacame the banker his dad wanted him to be
Prodeus. Amazing tribute to the classic doom games. Retro style with modern elements, gun play and sound design is spot on

Just beat Factorio (launched a rocket) for the first time a couple of days ago. Feels good.
Default settings, and I got the Lazy Bastard, no lasers, no solar, no provider/buffer/requestor chests, and SLaTfAtF achievements in one go after about 80 hours in.
Continuing the Factory for now to farm the 20m Green Circuit production achievement. Slowly transitioning from a main bus factory to a city blocks factory. Blue circuits are my bottleneck, so I’m working on scaling up production off-bus.
Planning to go for the speedrun achievements next weekend. Want to 100% the game before the new expansion they’ve been teasing drops.
The factory must grow.

I am playing with the Xendar’s mod, richer ore patches, no creepers, just built blue science, now planning to upgrade my plastics/oil/rubber setup.
Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Neat! How does Xendar’s mod differ from setting pacifist and cranking up ore patch richness in worldgen?
