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.
I just finished GoW Ragnarok Valhalla, really enjoyed the story and it feels like a nice place to leave it for a bit. Would like to see what else the modern Santa Monica can do
Just wanted to mention Champions of Regnum, if anyone wants a simple rvr open pvp mmo. It is tab target and old school, slightly more advanced graphically than DAOC. It’s a fun easy casual game for players to drop in and join in the rvr war when and if u like. The war tends to be hilarious because there are 3 realms and the number of wacky shenanigans that happen is quite unpredictable. There is a significant grind, but this game is so much chill fun at the end, it’s worth 10+ years of playing for one character.

I think Against the Storm gave me carpal tunnel. The game itself is fine, but by the nature of it, you don’t complete your cites and the run ends abruptly. The hub world doesn’t feel inviting or rewarding, as much as they tried. Maybe a few tweaks would get it from good to fun
Among other things I’ve been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA which is an expansion of stalker anomaly which is a mod rehash of the original stalker games. It’s a single player immersive-sim/fps/looter-shooter/survival/sandbox game set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Very tough, but has been really fun (maybe a bit infuriating at times). I recommend it to those who like a bit of pain. It has replaced single player Tarkov in my rotation for now.
Also it’s completely free btw.
I'm about to start a playthrough for the first time myself. I couldn't believe that it is actually stand-alone. I thought for sure you'd need to have the OG Stalker games but you don't and it warns that you shouldn't install over them if you have them either.
I never could get myself into the originals but I'm looking forward to GAMMA.
I never could either. I recommend you configure the durability for dropped guns and armour in your mod config. The game can be very stingy as set to default. Good luck!
Do you find that when you walk over sharp level geometry that the camera doesn’t smoothly transition up/down? I really want to enjoy GAMMA but the constant jerkiness of the camera was really off-putting to me. Even moving the camera left and right feels like it’s moving 1° at a time. It doesn’t feel smooth whatsoever but maybe it’s my settings or my ultra wide monitor.
I also run an ultra wide monitor. The sharp geometry thing happens to me too, mostly inside houses where there is like a small lip between rooms, or on stairs. Otherwise the camera seems fine. Maybe playing with the sensitivities or fov might help. Fov also seems to be calculated in a weird way, I have it set to 90 but it feels a lot wider.
Maybe it’s just low fps? I’m only getting around 70 fps with a 3080 (3440x1440) at mostly default graphics settings.
I just finished Mario Wonder. I haven’t collected all of the flower coins or topped all of the flag poles to get the Super secret ending. I’m not sure if I want to master the time trials to do that.
How do you find the overall quality of the game? I thought it was cute and in general feels a little easier than Mario Bros Deluxe.
Then again I’m only at the initial stages, keep getting sidetracked by other stuff.
I haven’t played through a full Mario game since Super Mario World. There’s a lot of fun game mechanics changes from level to level. But overall it’s basically the old games but “for kids”. There’s no difficult mechanics like the cape, nothing that you really have to backtrack for with power ups, no really crazy secret exits.
No idea how that compares to Deluxe. But it is very easy outside of a few levels.
Nier Replicant, i had great fun going through >!dreams!< in Forest of Myth, that was really interesting change of gameplay.
Spiral Knights and CSD3 with gf, Black Ops III campaign on realistic with a friend, and some Skyrim by myself.
I just finished A Plagues take and Before I Forget. So I’m between story games at the moment.
I’m going to be playing a heck of a lot of euro truck simulator 2 because it’s the holiday challenge and I find the portals to the snowy areas cool because I’ve always wanted snow in the northern countries. The physics are pretty cool.
I typical replay Earthbound this time of the year because it’s just a nostalgic time and it’s my favorite game, so I’ll probably play that by the light of the Christmas tree this week, either on my GBA, my pi zero 2 powered Gameboy, or my pitendo cart.
WH40K Rogue Trader. It’s pretty good if you like that kind of thing. ‘Campaign’ bit of the campaign is significantly better that WOTR in my opinion
Trying to replay the early ac games. After finishing ac brotherhood, tried to get revelations running on steamdeck… for an hour. The issue as no surprise was drm and ubisoft. They had an old uplay launcher burned into the game, so I had to install a newer one with proton tricks. (This video saved me)
So bit annoyed, started the game and there have been some questionable changes, some buttons are switched around, there are now two weapon wheels, hookblade feels a bit clunky, but I haven’t gotten far yet.
Dunno why, but it feels a bit bloated, the parkour feels worse, and Ezio always want to jump into haybales for some reason.
Brotherhood was so damn good. Odyssey is the most recent one I’ve tried since and it didn’t come close to Brotherhood for me.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4
The nostalgia + the recent news about the sequel of BT3 got me, I decided to fire this up in my smartphone with my Razer Kishi and Aethersx2, so far it runs very well, although I decided to play the story, so I haven’t played that much with those new characters lol.
