Fallout 4. Modded up the wazoo with the StoryWealth collection.
Reminds me of New Vegas and the originals games now. Far more content and things to randomly discover. Not just tacky boob mods.
Gave Fallout 76 a shot again after trying it early in it’s release and quitting due the travesty it was (also because I was disappointed in Starfield). It’s good now, very similar feel to 4 though with some differences. It’s a Fallout game so not perfect but the feeling of endless possibilities you get when stepping out of the vault for the first time is classic Fallout.
Picked up The Longing, and I’ve been working my way through it little by little.
Excellent game. Way more depth and much better paced than I anticipated. It’s an idle game that commits to the bit. Fire it up, wait 400 days, and you’re done. There’s other stuff to do within the game, but it all takes time, and it’s all optional but pleasantly engaging.
I give my little shade a task, then let it run in the background while I do other things, and now I’m suddenly 8000 words in to writing some fan fiction I’ve been bouncing around in my head. It’s been a very productive week.
Not much gaming time, but i started Against the Storm which I liked.
I recently bought Cyberpunk 2077, and finished it.
My reaction was: wow, what a sick game!
Two Animal Crossing at work since boss on vacation and we are some what slow. And at home enjoying the new states on American Truck Simulator.
Oklahoma and Texas.
Remnant 2. I watched Iron Pineapple’s review back when it released and got excited. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and I convinced several friends to get it. It’s been great. I’m just getting to the point where I can play around with different builds. The set pieces look great and the writing and lore has surprising depth, especially for a co-op shooter.
I’ve been playing “will I be able to get Genshin Impact running in Linux in a way that is comfortable for me?”
(AAGL runs it, but I’ve only managed to get it full-screen or 1920x1080 in a borderless window pinned in the center of my screen. I’d like to drag that 1920x1080 window down close to the lower-right corner, but can’t figure out how to move it or get it running with normal draggablr window borders). Arch+xorg+kde+nvidia. Couldn’t get it to install either Lutris and haven’t tried other launchers.
Age of Empires IV because of this video (1h25m) about onboarding new players to real time strategy games.
Cocoon
Tiny Thor
Sea of Stars
El Paso elsewhere
Edit: Kena Bridge of Spirits
Just started sea of stars myself! The music and the visuals for now are absolutely beautiful!!
Agreed, it’s really good. I thought I was done with JRPG’s. Generally, they’re too slow paced for me and I don’t have as much time as I used to. I’ve really enjoyed this one so far though.
One of the features that I like is how even though the combat is turn based, it still feels active because of the timed button presses for attacking and defending. It definitely gives the traditional gameplay mechanic a breath of fresh air.
yeah i agree, the biggest problem for me in JRPGs is that i just don’t have the time and sometime the attention span to keep playing. This one for now it’s working, although i’ve only played for a couple of hours.
Action RPG’s are usually where it’s at for me.
I’ve picked up Battlefield 5 again because of the recent hype. There’s the most players there’s been for a fair while. It’s a lot of fun. I am quite bad at it though.
Battlefield games are fun! Unfortunately, I live in in a region where the servers are filled with hackers and EA doesn’t do much to punish them.
I’m still going through Spider-Man 2 as my main game.
I was fortunate to get a new OLED recently that does the 120hz/40fps modes and all those wizbangs, and things kinda finally feel “next gen.” Smooth gameplay with little sacrifice to visuals (ray tracing is still on). Yeah yeah, it’s not a 4090ti or whatever. But I’m in my living room with a giant 4K screen and surround sound and it’s great.
I think with the much better SSD speeds of the ps5 and xbox, along with this 120hz business, I’m finally like “oh wow, ok. That’s cool.” The newest Ratchet and Clank in this setup is insane. There’s probably an argument that you shouldn’t have to buy a new TV to get these visual benefits and whatnot. And that’s fine. But I’m fortunate to be able to get the fun toys, so I’m having a real good time.
Kingdom come deliverance
Chained Echoes as recommended by a friend. What. A. Game!!! 30 hours in now and i can easily see myself going 100 hours on this. Beautiful story, art and mechanics, tons of old school jrpg feels. Love it
High On Life. I’m usually not big on FPSs, but the writing is so dumb/hilarious that I’m still having a blast. Also, that dino love story b-movie that’s on the TV in the living room — I gotta check that out IRL.
Grim Dawn with a couple friends, games great, 8 hours flew by, felt like a kid enjoying a game again after so long
