still Morrowind in XR. having fun just wandering around again.
also Vintage Story. chill minecraft flip but more. wandering around public rooms seeing what is up.
Finally playing through all the Hitman reboots in one go (They’re called 1-2-3, or now “World Of Assassination” for the whole experience, plus paid DLCs for additional missions). I played through all the original Hitman games back in the day.
While you can of course cheese your way through each mission pretty easily (NPC: “Well, he only held that weapon in his hand for less than 2 seconds, so I’ll ignore it.” or “Oh, coins on the ground! Better open that locked door to get to them so that you can follow me inside!”), it actually IS a lot of fun if you deliberately take it slow and discover all the stories that are hidden in each mission. It opens up crafty ways of getting to your targets & entertains much more than just exploiting the game engine’s weaknesses. Truly something for #patientGamers
If you combine my hours for all three since it’s all a collection now anyway, it’s my second most played game of all time, only behind Skyrim. I’m a massive fan. How far along are you?
I’ve been playing some Bomberman.
I feel like I’ve started so many games these past weeks and months but haven’t stuck with any… but I guess nothing new for me really as I never finish games anyway.
Started playing Half Life 1. Never played any of the Half Life games before.
As for a recommendation, Chrono Trigger and the Silent Hill games (1-3, including the remake of 2).
I played Black Mesa (HL1 remake) and loved it. I haven’t played HL2 yet though.
Enjoy HL1, it’s a great game, or at least the remake is. I’m assuming the original is good too.
I finally got Mario Kart 8 on the switch. It’s a blast playing with my kids and showing no mercy 😈.
I also installed the Jupiter Hell Classic demo (a demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of Doom.) I enjoy it but similar to Jupiter Hell I’m pretty terrible at it so far. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re a roguelike fan. You can play the original unmake DRL (Doom: the roguelike) for free, or also try the demo for JHC on steam.
Playing horizon zero dawn atm. Got easy red 2 and battle front 2 and road craft for multiplayer with my group
My son bought Cyberpunk 2077 on sale. I got hooked immediately.
I just started it too. It’s a ton of fun.
Same here. It hit my <$60 AUD buy point for the ultimate edition.
Likewise. I picked up the ultimate edition and a dirt cheap game and that was it. The last few sales I’ve favoured getting a bunch of cheap games rather than one good game on a decent sale, but my backlog is getting out of hand at this point.
Haha same here, backlog is not going well. I made a bunch of folders in steam to organise it though so there’s that.
Crash Nsane trilogy and Stanley parable were cheap so I got those too.
CP2077 now feels like it’s what it was hyped to be before that awful launch, so I’m glad to have waited 5 years.
I need to play through all the short games on my backlog, that would make me feel a lot better about it. Maybe I’ll sort everything in folders based on length so I can finally put a dent in it.
Stanley Parable was awesome. Enjoy it.
I know what you mean about 2077. I’m glad to have waited as long as I did, both because of the cheaper price and also the patches and extra content. It’s a really good game now.
Dysmantle has me looking for skulls and tires to crush.
Sim city 4
Once again trying to do a good redstone in Minecraft. But mostly just mine and chill.
Just started No man sky, first play through. I’m still not sure what I think of it. It seems too be a time guzzler. On one hand it must be entertaining because 4 hours past in the blink of an eye. On the other I don’t feel like I’ve done or seen much. Time seem to be the main currency behind most things you do .
No Mans Sky is totally a time guzzler. It’s incredible how easy it is for hours and hours to go by like it’s nothing. It’s a really fun game though, and I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into it.
I did one playthrough shortly after it came out doing things the way you’re supposed to, and then I decided to just have fun with it and started using a save editor to give myself all the resources that take ages to farm or craft. That was a game changer. It’s so much more fun when I can just explore and build without having to worry about not having enough fuel for my jetpack, or not being able to finish a building because I don’t have enough resources for that one last piece of glass, or having to salvage a fuckton of ships just to open up inventory slots.
So if the game ever starts to feel like work for you, I suggest using a save editor and going to town. The devs don’t seem to have much of a problem with it, and it really opens up the game.
Continued playing Metro 2033 Redux.
After finishing Nier Automata in my Switch (quite an awesome port tbh, I cheated a bit as I overclocked my unit to make it run smoother) and Breath of The Wild I am focusing on smaller games, which are:
- Monument Valley (Android)
- Retro City Rampage (PS Vita)
- Pokémon Omega Ruby (almost finished, 3DS).
I haven’t played Retro City Rampage before but Monument Valley was awesome, and so was Omega Ruby.
Been working my way through the achievements for State of Decay 2, I’ve almost got all the supplies gathered up in my community to speedrun through the last two legacies on the hardest difficulty.
It’s a really solid zombie survival, that walks a nice balance of not having standard survival micromanagement. Accessible(fun) combat, and some expression in base/resource management but not to the point where it dominates moment to moment play. Hits the good middle ground of permadeath in terms of losing survivors, but still having a community so you’re not losing all your resources/progress.
Pokémon Emerald. I got an rg35xxsp, which has been perfect for getting through all the games I missed over the years.
Nice, enjoy. I’m a total Pokémon nerd for gens 1-4. Gen 2 + remakes takes the cake for me, but Emerald would be next up. It’s probably objectively the best game in the series (that or Platinum) but I’m super nostalgic for Johto. SoulSilver will forever be my favourite Nintendo game.
