Question of the week:
Are there any live-service games, such as Fallout 76, that you’re currently playing? Anything like Helldivers 2 or any other multiplayer games?
Still playing Noita (help me), and just picked up Animal Well (double help me). They’re both great! But probably only for a very specific type of person
that much is true
It’s a prison of my own making, and boy do I hate jail
Played Recently:
Animal Well. It’s fine, I am not really a metroidvania guy though. Foundry. Also fine. It’s a factory game in the vein of Satisfactory, though with a procedurally generated world instead of a static one. Has potential, needs a lot more time before it really stands out from the competition.
Genres:
RPGs and factory/automation/base-building games for the most part.
Live Service Games:
I periodically have phases where I get pretty into Warframe, and now is one of those times. It’s a pretty good “podcast game” to do other stuff during, I generally really like a lot of the art design and lore of that universe. As far as a live-service game it has a relatively decent business model, basically everything is available in-game, though they will happily take all the money you have if you so choose.
I used to play Dead by Daylight because I love horror, but I am so fantastically bad at that game that I ended up dropping it.
I just started playing realm of the mad god, bullet hell mmo
I have recently played Team Fortress 2 with someone from school whose name I won’t mention for anonimity reasons. I have also recently played modded Skyrim Special Edition. I’m not sure whether Tf2 counts as live-service or not, bc it hasn’t had a major update in 6 years. I also plan on buying Helldivers 2
Pro soccer online still and GTA4 and 5
Bloodstained recieved its last patch. What a letdown of a game.
I’ve decided it’s time to restart my Destiny addiction. I redownloaded 1 and 2 and I’ll be making a new character this time.
Finished Outlast 2 and Alien: Isolation, all achievements, it was literally insane.
I might play something to chill out next lol.
Favorite genres: horror(mostly indie), sci-fi/action adventure and crime.
Recently I’ve played Cyberpunk, Morrowind, Sekiro, and Victoria 2 and 3. Haven’t finished any of the first 3 though, I’m very lazy when it comes to actually fully finishing games.
My favorite genres are shooters, strategy, and rpgs.
Latest live service game that I’ve been playing is Guilty Gear Strive. One of my friends recommended it to me and it’s been the main thing I’ve been playing for the past month.
Finished Subnautica, what a great game.
Going through Fallout 4, it’s garbage quality but there is something to the gameplay loop that makes me go in a trance and spend a ton of time on it, prob should just stop playing.
I also purchased the entire Yakuza bundle, so i have enough gaming content for years.
As for live service games, i play Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact. Which IMHO, are very high quality games even if they’re toxic gachas.
FarCry 2 is a habit of mine because I love the early 2000s war-torn Africa setting. All the enemies are racists, conscripts or mercenaries and the guns rust and fall apart. It does have an unfortunate contingent of Rhodesia/Apartheid fetishists.
Still heavily involved with stardew valley 1.6. I’m not playing any multiplayer games, but I have been dabbling with a bit of suzerain. I’ve pissed off pretty much everyone who isn’t a radical leftist, and I suspect that I’m about to be ousted in a military coup soon. It’s fun.
What video games have you played recently?
Recently I played a little bit of Street Fighter 6 and finally got back to playing Breath of the Wild. It’s been a while since I last played it a month or so ago, so I’m still picking up pace, but I think I’m finally ready to continue playing it, I’m still very early but every second I remember playing it have been just an absolute joy, so I hope I continue it. I have also started playing Demon’s Souls for the first time (second really, but I didn’t go far the first time). Just beat the spider boss, it’s cool so far.
What are your favorite video game genres?
Souls games. Though also honorable mention to roguelikes too. I haven’t played a bunch of them actually, but The Binding of Isaac (this one I have played A LOT) and Hades are both amazing.
Are there any live-service games, such as Fallout 76, that you’re currently playing? Anything like Helldivers 2 or any other multiplayer games?
Not really, have been a while since I played a live service game. The last one I played would be League of Legends, but not only have I been playing it less and less for the last 3 or so years, I can’t even play it anymore since Riot started using Vanguard in League because I use Linux, so fuck them.
I’m feeling the itch to start playing Warframe again tho. I’ll probably just do some of the questlines that dropped since I stopped playing. I think I stop right before before The New War came out.
Hey another Tenno! That’s where I left off last time I played Warframe as well. The grind to get a Necramech pushed me off the game a couple times. The New War was pretty fun though, as I am one of those weird people that plays Warframe for the story/lore.
They made that particular grind a fair bit easier, and apparently in the June update they are going to make it even easier. So if that was what was holding you back, may be worth waiting for the update.
Fellow Tenno comrade!! That wasn’t what pushed me away. I don’t even remember if I grinded it to be honest lol. The last time I played I think I did some of the story missions, for the last 3 years or so I have only played the story bits too.
Maybe this time I’ll stick to it for longer. Thanks for the info.
Replaced League of Legends with a punching bag and running. Real life is now my video game.
I’m not playing any multiplayer, I’m currently playing Fallout 2
Good choice.
