Dead Space, FF VI and VII Remake
Classic dead space or remake?
Remake
Sudoku all the time. It’s the perfect tool for waiting 7 minutes. I bought the app “Enjoy Sudoku” many years ago and it is my most played game ever.
RimWorld and modded Pokemon Scarlett.
On one hand i am adoring Scarlett more than i expected… On the other, what I enjoy is almost exclusively from the mod, so I don’t know where to even talk about the fun i am having understanding I probably still wouldn’t want to purchase the full game, even with all the fun I am having, because the jank is only tolerable for me on an emulator with mods.
RimWorld im really into a insectoids 2 mod run. About to try my hand at vanilla expanded genetics with Alpha Animals and Rimbees.
Im vibrating for stardew valley mobile update. It’s been my favorite way to play and I wanna mod that, too. 😩
Zelda a link to the past (emulated on pocket snes).
ZZZ, F-Zero X, Balatro, UESRPG3e, and SotDL.
Satisfactory currently has me. I’m just now starting into Tier 9 proper.
–Halls of Torment –Metaphor Refantazio –UFO 50
I’m currently playing Halls of Torment. I’ve tried a few times before but it has finally clicked. I’m liking it a lot. It is more Diablo than people had led me to believe. I love how different all the character are, and all the achievements that unlock things. I feel I could be playing it for quite a while
On a slightly related note, I just saw Vampire Survivors is getting a Castlevania DLC on the 31st and I’m so excited. I’ve been hoping for this for so long. 20 new characters, 40 weapons, and their biggest map yet. Sounds like it will have the most content out of any of their other DLCs
I’m so hyped for that DLC. I’m hoping it makes VS even more expensive and fun. It’s a match made in heaven.
I’ve been taking a video game break to play more board games. Zoo Vadis has been a top pick lately and I highly recommend.
Helldivers 2
I started Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. I’ve been loving it, it’s like they made the game for me. It’s a perfect unwind game at the end of a day of work between the calming music, character conversations, and silly or cute mini games; but there’s also enough strategy and action in battles to keep my mind stimulated when I want more than that.
I took an entire week off for Rebirth, and the whole time was like “Whee! :D”
I’m getting pretty antsy for the PC release. Cannot wait!
pokemon emerald rogue, scream fortress, skyrim with bunch of mods thanks to wabbajack.
Thank you for bringing Pokemon Emerald Rogue to my attention. I’ve got it patched, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m super stoked
Metaphor ReFantazio is amazing.
I doesn’t look like it needs my help, because it’s doing pretty well, but damn, it’s good.
Maybe too much anxiety to play a game in which you’re running for office in a fantasy land, at least until November, but… yeah, it’s bonkers and it’s well written and it’s by far the most political game the Persona-adjacent studios have ever done in some really fun ways.
Also a triumph of UI. Not only does it look great, it’s so frictionless. It’s a turn-based JRPG and it plays faster and more smoothly than that abomination of an action game Square tried to pass as a Final Fantasy VII remake by orders of magnitude. Seriously, go play it if you’re at all interested in that corner of gaming.
I wish Metaphor had amounted to more, and I’m frustrated to see yet another calendar RPG.
It’s not a bad game, but it’s the same food they’ve made for decades.
That’s fair. I do see how it being nominally a new IP instead of a numbered sequel the ways it overlaps with Persona feel like a bit of treading water.
For me there is way more than enough to separate it, though. The bonkers story alone and the super political spin on it are crazy, plus the gameplay ends up being different enough.
But yeah, it’s pretty much one of those. Still better than going full action RPG like Square has done with its franchises, though.
I’m playing it too, mostly I’m just struggling to go whack Heismay and instead just playing Monster’s Expedition yet again.
Monster’s Expedition never gets old.
All calendar based anxiety went out the window for me after getting the Merchant and Thief classes.
Just because you can grind money easily or some other reason?
In any case on Normal I haven’t felt it at all, mostly because I’ve been single-day completing most dungeons and that gets you a bit overleveled.
But it’s still a lot faster and tighter than Persona on that front. And more flexible and nonlinear, too. For what looks like a long game, this thing moves. Much fewer, shorter stretches of just visual novelling with friends (although there’s plenty of that, too).
Money grinding is pretty efficient, but I was referring to the high rate of item drops. There’s a pretty common enemy that drops a mp recovery item. I’m blasting through dungeons in one go.
Ah, yeah, but the fun bit is that there are a ton of builds that let you get there. HP-based skills are powerful in this, and you can heal for cheap, so you can get there that way, and once you get a bit overlevelled and can kill mobs out of turn-based combat you’re just cruising.
I may see what happens on harder difficulties, but I genuinely don’t care too much, because just the mechanics of figuring out the sequence for each dungeon and enemy type is so fun to do with the brilliant UI that I just… enjoy doing it, kinda like you enjoy clicking things on Diablo or something. Truly smooth design.
I just wish they had figured out antialiasing better, because woof. I ended up injecting better AA through ReShade and never looked back.
can kill mobs out of turn-based combat you’re just cruising.
That’s what I was referring to. Once you’re able to defeat enemies in the overworld you can farm all sorts of recovery items and make bank.
Just started Baldur’s Gate 3. Never played a CRPG before (does Disco Elysium count?) so it has been quite the learning curve for combat. Pretty stuck in the Underdark, it seems. Looks like I’ll have to help out a slavetrader Gekh in order to proceed because I don’t think I can defeat him and his buddies…
Disco Elysium absolutely counts.
If you don’t want to help the slavers, here is a tip: you can destroy ladders.
I hope that you’re having so much fun with BG3, after I finished it’s definitely one of my favorites. The underdark is tough, I wish you good luck.
Thanks :)
What are you playing, bpt11?
I’ve been doing a replay of Omori
I was playing Dwarf Fortress, but the bugs made me shelve the game for the foreseeable future. It’s great until the bugs kill your game.
Were you playing the stable or beta adventure version?
Stable release via Steam. Really enjoy the game until the bugs creep in.
Factorio Space Age! It was Satisfactory 1.0, but I got distracted 😅
Same! I finally “beat” satisfactory by delivering all the project parts. In early access I unlocked all milestones but never delivered the final project part.
Starting space age, only got up to automating green science, working on military science now. Probably won’t be able to play much this week though.
My group is roughly about to head to space for the first time or launch our first rocket so that’s exciting
