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.
Monster Hunter World. This game‘s got me in an iron grip. I‘m looking forward to playing the Tales of Arise DLC which is discounted rn to 20 bucks which is the kinda price I would‘ve expected to begin with.
Mario Kart on the side, playing the expansion pass courses, currently at „Mirror.“
I’m still jamming on PalWorld. Set up a dedicated server and have 4 other people who hop on randomly and play, it’s great to come across them while exploring. It feels like an alive world. Almost level 50 and breeding all the uber monsters with 4 legendary stats. This game just scratches all the right itches, and it doesn’t even have the quests, raids, or other content they are planning yet. Too fun.
Back on my Rimworld addiction.
Against the Storm. Picked it up way back in early access and kind of thought it sucked. Saw some people talk about it recently and decided to give it another go, and it doesn’t suck anymore! I suck at it, having lost every round, but I keep going back in, so I guess I like it now.
Hopping between:
- Helldivers 2
- Deep Rock Galactic
- MechWarrior 5
- Last Epoch
Planetbase, it doesn’t take long to figure out but I’m trying to unlock the other more challenging planets at the moment which just takes time.
I’m on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.
Amored Core 6. It’s the first Armored Core that I have played. The setting and story are not really my thing, but the gameplay is a lot of fun.
Make sure to do all three endings. The story is deceptively pretty decent. You feel like a real badass by the end
I gave up on that game after dying to the helicopter boss for 30 mins straight lol
Try getting underneath/above and stick close to it, melee when you can, especially when it’s staggered. I found it brutal as well, typical From serving that up right at the start hah.
Guild Wars 2. Love it.
Started playing in beta, took a break for years, and have been playing it again with friends most evenings for a year.
Turnip Boys robs a Bank.
Go play it.
Cool didn’t know there was a sequel or spinoff. Thanks for the heads up!
Isnt there a Turnip Boy commits tax fraud game out there?
Never played it but so far i saw it in playthrough its a rather fun game ;D.Tax Evasion. Yoshi’s the one who committed tax fraud.
Yeah, it’s a Legend of Zelda like game. Robs A Bank is more of a run and gun Rogue-like.
Oh neat i will probably play that soon!
beat Pikmin 2, used a gecko code to stop the timer, gonna go for 100% now
Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth
I’m 25 hours in and barely touched the main story. Once they let me roam around I did nothing but side content. Just yesterday I got access to the “Pokemon” League and I see myself not touching any story content for another 5 hours. It’s great.
Loved the game. I just did the main story and side stories as it’s the plot and characters I play Like A Dragon games for; I wasn’t interested enough in the Sujimon or Dondoko Island stuff to get into it. And no way am I paying extra to do New Game Plus!
Currently playing Lords of the Fallen. I’m almost to the end, it’s been a lot of dying, but a lot of fun also!
I wish that company would stop trying to make souls likes. They really suck at it
I disagree, and think it brings all sorts of new takes on the Souls Like formula. But in the end we don’t have to agree and just play what we enjoy. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
How does it compare to the Lords of the Fallen from several years ago? I played through that and found it to be pretty buggy and not very fun, although quick enough that I did a new game plus run as well. I’m curious if the new one is any better.
I have not played the original so I can’t do a comparison. I play on Linux with a Nvidia 3060Ti and fame runs fine, no real issues yet. If you read the forums though, it’s like any other game and does have some bugs for some people. It also being a souls like, means that it’ll never have enough of X or Y or Z for everyone. People complain it’s too hard, some that it’s too easy, some people hate invasions, others think that constant invasions make it better. I would watch a video or two with some game play and you could probably quickly tell if you would want to try it yourself. It also has multiple endings that you can’t do in one run, unlike a lot of the Elden Ring ending where you can then choose at the end.
Balatro!
Currently have over 100 hours in Persona 3 Reload and I haven’t even completed the game yet.
Always wanted to dive into P3P/FES until Reload was announced, and I’m so happy I waited. The game is very polished and I’ve heard it is a faithful remake of the OG P3. Definitely going for a NG+ afterwards!
Looking forward to diving into it as well. The price tag for a remake isn‘t worth it for me though, so I‘m gonna „patient gamer“ this one.
I’ll be house sitting for 2 weeks away from my normal stuff, so I’ll probably dip into game pass and play it then.
I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can’t recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I’m scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.Overall, I don’t recommend it.
I get nostalgia for it every now and again. A week of playing and finding no friends or fun kills that itch fast.
