Repostin’. Trying out Arcanum for myself for the first time.
Love seeing FNV there. I recently got around to beating it a few months ago and it was amazing
You hide cards at night in the forest for fun? Seems like a solitary type of game to play.
Hehe you’re right kinda.
I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can’t sleep I’ll do Solitaire or crosswords.
If I’m really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison. One day I plan to get an old TV and turn it into a Zen Pinball machine, as others have done on YouTube.
Pinball games are fun. Ive tried everyone on the Switch, and a few on Steam, but they all seem to lack something.
Finding a decent pool table game is the same.
I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It’d be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.
That said, I’ve fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.
There’s a cheapo pool game on Switch that uses the gyros in the controller for moving the stick. It’s pretty cool at first. But then you realize it’s a cheap game that’s not worth it.
The possibility is there.
The pinball games are DLC money sinks, unfortunately.
Switch:
- Witcher 3 (don’t judge)
- Eiyuden Chronicles
PS4:
- Code Vein
- Disco Elysium
PC:
- Torchlight 2
- YGO Master Duel
Phone:
- Pokemon TCG Pocket
Witcher 3 can’t be worse than Xcom2 on the switch. No judgement here.
Currently playing Half Life 2. Got it for free and i love it.
I play games too much, so I’ll categorise them:
New ones I’ve finished and absolutely loved: Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Star Wars: Outlaws
Not new ones that I’m currently playing and really like so far: Days Gone and Mad Max
Not new ones that I’m currently playing that I’m unsure if I like, be it because of the game itself or technical issues: Enshrouded, Horizon Forbidden West, and Satisfactory
Ones I’ve played for some time and won’t stop playing anytime soon (and obviously love): Warframe and Minecraft
Mad Max is fun. But it never holds my interest for long.
Mostly Spyro (the PSX one) and both versions of Cyberpunk 2077. Alternatively Muse Dash if I don’t have much time (or will) to go for a longer session.
I respect the love of a PSX game, thumbs up.
What do you mean by both versions of 2077?I really like checking out oldies in their original form, even if there’s a “better” remake/remaster available. It’s fun to see what those games had to offer in their prime.
As for Cyberpunk, I’m playing both the most up to date version (2.13 with Phantom Liberty + mods) and the legacy one (version 1.16).
There were a lot of gameplay and design changes in the 2.0 release. Since I played the game before that, I had a constant reaction of some things being… off. I wasn’t sure whether my mixed feelings had to do with nostalgia or if I really liked some of the old gameplay more, so I decided to reinstall the legacy version to confirm (thanks CDPR for keeping it available).
Long story short, while I do like some of the things they did with the game and genuinely believe it’s a better product overall, I’d be lying if I said I prefer the new version. I still have fun and all the technical improvements, free content and access to mods make for an easy choice but boy do I wish there was a way to port those to the legacy version. There are a few mods that restore some of the old design choices which gives me a sliver of hope for a potential larger restoration in the future. For now though, I’ll just keep enjoying what’s there.
Sounds like how I view No Mans Sky. Im one of the wierdos that really enjoyed how alone and wierd the game used to be.
Does NMS allow you to play the older patches at least? It really sucks whenever games change significantly without an ability to stick with what you like.
I’m old and just started playing Far Cry 5 (haven’t played any of the others before). Very fun.
I highly recommend the first one, Far Cry 3 and its stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Also, the first Crysis game which is very similar to Far Cry.
Im old too. I played the first FarCry. It was amazing. That was a time that driving a vehicle in first person view, having moving shadows based off of light sources, being able to see far away, and being able to shoot out lights was ground breaking. (To be fair 007 GoldenEye had lights you could shoot too)
Now there aren’t any games that let you shoot or destroy light sources.
I have played every Far Cry since the first. In my opinion FC5 is the worst. Boring setting. Far more mundane and repetitive than the others. The forced kidnappings were annoying. The ending was meh. I think FC6 was a refreshing change.
Personally Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best overall. The Vietnam DLC for FC5 is also excellent, even though short. FC4 is also great, and has a truly unique setting and was a lotnof fun with the gyro copter and Yeti. FC3 is good and fun, but it’s overrated.
FC2 I think is the best FC in a spiritual sense. For all its flaws, it truly set out to implement a unique concept the other FC’s have forgotten… that is you set out to accomplish something and everything will go wrong. You were supposed to be frustrated and overthink things. The setting was cool, the story was effed up, and the buddy system was kinda neat.
All Far Cry’s suffer from underdelivering on the story. So much potential with the villains, yet barely seen. People who brag about how cool Vaas is seem to forget you only see him like 3 times, he’s gone by like mid-game, and he wasn’t even the main villain.
Half Life 2, I got a new laptop a couple of years ago and it was the first that could actually play it properly but I never got to it, then the big update came out and wow, so worth it, loving it.
TES IV Oblivion. Love it, so silly, I love thieving.
Autonauts vs Piratebots, such a fun and cute little programming game.
Sifu
A ton of Darktide.
Honkai: Star Rail and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Took me multiple chapters to get into Ys IX (very unusual for me, I love the series) but I’m finally starting to enjoy it.
Also started a replay of The Witcher 3.
Heh. I love Ys, and yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I am initially disappointed, and I have to stick with it, and it eventually gets insanely good.
Just how Ys games are I guess. With Ys X I went into it knowing this and really overlooked a lot and told myself to ignore my criticisms cause I’ve been through this rodeo like 6 times now. 50 hours in, yeah it’s awesome. The story especially.
I don’t hate Monstrum Nox like so many do. It’s refreshing they will always try wildly different things.
That’s me with Atelier. Usually I’m good to go right away with Ys right from the start, even with the ones I don’t like as much. Ys VIII was especially good as soon as the island landing.
I’ve been getting back into boomer shooters and dungeon crawlers.
I’ve been playing more Selaco, and I’m excited for the next chapter to be released. Also Burger Flipper has taken my spare time in that game while I’m playing it (it’s the idle clicker game-within-a-game).
I reinstalled Lunacid to jump back in and hopefully finish that at some point soon. I’ve been playing fun demos like Mohrta and Hark the Ghoul too.
And of course Project Zomboid.
Satisfactory, Black Ops 6 (yeah yeah) Zelda echoes of wisdom
How far you into Satisfactory? We just got our turbo fuel powerplant at about 30% capacity, enough for Ficsmas!
I’m in the last tier, nuclear power, but I am extremely choked on computers right now. I’m a spaghetti mess and considering a restart to be more organized.
Aha, do you play with mods? Can make restarting more interesting by mixing it up a bit
I haven’t, but strongly considering mods on a restart knowing what some limitations are.
Top three are: The First Descendant, Elder Scrolls Online, and just started Lords Of The Fallen (which is pretty tough TBH).
I was very very hesitant on ESO. But it’s probably the best Elder Scrolls game we’ll get. Playing with friends is a blast, as well as wondering around doing random quests in each “country”.
I’m actually a new’ish gamer. I did a little Final Fantasy 14 but didn’t get into it. I read about this a little and decided to give it a try (it helped it was on a massive sale on the PlayStation store). This will be the game I will probably be playing for a really long time.
The random quests and wandering around are the best parts IMO. It amazes me how much time I can waste walking around going "what’s behind that building (or rock, or hill, etc.).
Stardew Valley
I just cleared $1 million on my current save. Spring of year 3.
