I have been playing Tears of the Kingdom, but when my wife has been playing I have been switching in between Serious Sam 4 and the original Commander Keen.
Commander Keen takes a little to get used to the game feel and style, but I am actually enjoying it pretty well. You can feel a lot of what would go into id shooters. Mazelike levels with a series of key cards, but on a 2d platformer instead of a fps.
Oh man, Commander Keen! One of the first games I actually owned.
I've been playing a bit of TotK, and also recently pulled out my GB pocket and started playing my old copy of Pokemon Red.
I never owned commander keen until recently. So I would just play that shareware episode back in the day.
I got the shareware version from my cousin, it was all I played for months, got the full version for my birthday!
Can't seem to stop playing factorio, send help.
The factory must expand.
The factory must expand.
You still on vanilla, or have you started diving into Greg’s mods?
Still vanilla. I've only just started using logistic bots properly, converting the factory from centralised to modular production. I'll give mods a try sometime soon but there's so much possibility for expansion in the base game, who knows how long it'll take.
I installed the Space Exploration and Krastorio 2 mods and I haven't even gotten to space yet on my year old save lol. It's like Factorio x3 in difficulty.
Space exp seems pretty amazing. Before factorio I was mostly pouring time into dyson sphere program, it's strangely similar.
more like cracktorio
Y'all got any more of that throughput?
At 1600 hours I'm just a beginner, but this game is so great.
Ugh I know the day I start Factorio is the day my life as I know it ends... not sure if I'm dreading it or looking forward to it
I've been playing tears of the kingdom in small spurts and the System shock remake.
I've been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.
I just bought Silica and Gunner, HEAT, PC!, which have both been pretty cool so far. Both are early access games that I wanted to support.
Silica has way more to it than I expected, and I'm excited to play more (hopefully with friends, at some point).
GHPC is sort of like single player (for now) War Thunder, with a pretty cool simulation of Cold War era tanks and ballistics while still being fairly accessible. One interesting thing it does: the tank commander will speak to you (which is where the title of the game comes from), and it will get increasingly more tense and eventually turn into panicked screams, depending on the situation.
I'm playing these on Linux, and I have a weird audio issue with GHPC. Nobody else seems to experience this, and it doesn't happen on my Steam Deck.
We Love Katamari
I haven't seen anyone mention fighting games yet so I guess I'm going first. Will probably grind Guilty Gear Strive this weekend, as I don't have much free time for longer gaming sessions and every set is like 3-5 minutes each at most. I'll also try to get back into Dragon Age: Origins, if time permits.
Speaking of fighting games, I'm also interested in getting Street Fighter 6, as a friend I frequently play against got it, but I just can't justify paying 60€ for a game nowadays. I have so many other games on my backlog that I'd rather wait for a sale. But I played the open beta and really liked it a lot. The game feels more fluid than 5 and the new Drive mechanic feels way better than the previous V mechanic.
destiny 2, there are no other videogames.
I just finished a Civ 5 relapse (can't get 6 to run), so I'm on the new system shock right now.
I highly recommend it. It is both very faithful and much more accessible. More than anything, it perfectly captures the feeling of playing the first game, where it seems that you're just a pest, scurrying around this huge structure trying to defeat something so far beyond you it seems like a mouse trying to kill a whale.
Cyberspace is...kinda boring though TBH. Its faithful, but...meh. I'd recommend playing at 3 combat, 2 puzzles, and 1 cyberspace for a first run.
I'm trying to decide between Dredge, Inscryption, or one of my many other games on Xbox/Steam Deck...
Damn indecision and having too many games to play :(
Rift Breaker with a side of BattleTech (BTA 2062 mod), CoreKeeper, and some Stoneshard if I want to suffer.
Steam store links for quick info:
Currently playing Boltgun. Getting close to finishing the 2nd episode.
How do you like it? The game looks awesome from what I've seen.
I bought Gris after the Neva reveal trailer. It's truly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, and the score is just as noteworthy.
I've started getting into metal gear recently so at the moment I'm playing MGSV:TPP and MGS1.
Enjoying Dave the Diver. It's oddly addictive rogue like with an 80's arcade game Root Beer Tapper vibe.
DayZ. Bought it like 2 years ago, but only played like 30 hours. Dropped it because for me it was really hard at the beginning when I played solo. Maybe I watch some tutorials this time for an easier start.
I could never be good at DayZ but I’ve met some good people over the game. At my job as well I was able to convince some of my coworkers to try it out and they enjoyed it! Nowadays, I mainly just play on community servers and custom maps like Esseker (rather small but more interactions). I also watch SourSweet and TheRunningManz on YouTube for their DayZ content. Cheers! :)
Never heard of those Content Creators. Will definitely check them out. I mainly watch "JLK". Its like watching a Movie in DayZ. He´s mainly the Reason, why im coming back to DayZ. Is it still a thing to install the DayZ Launcher for Mods and Servers, or is there a another Program to use?
System Shock! Felt like it's been coming out forever and then suddenly just dropped. Amazing so far
Been thinking about picking up System Shock! Never played the originals but I can’t say no to a good immersive sim.
There’s a demo on steam! Idk how long it is but worth checking out
I just got my Steam Deck and have loved playing through BoTW via CEMU with mods (playing as Linkle!)
Right now I am trying to get modded Skyrim going on my 64gb Steam Deck, since I haven't played before and love fantasy settings!
Install a 1TB SSD in there, and fill it with mods. It's pretty easy to upgrade yourself.
Oh when I can pick one up, I will!
But for now, the 64gb with a few hefty microSD's is what I will be using
Death Stranding. Was sceptic for a long time, if the concept of the game is for me and motivating enough to keep me playing. Picked it up during a sale recently and really got hooked. With not much time to game it is nice to deliver a few packages and be able to quit again. Story is so cryptic that it feels like it does not matter if you forget something after a week long break and the atmosphere of the game feels really nice.
I had the same experience. The way people described it I put it off for a long time, but when I finally started I was also hooked. Put like >90 hours on my first playthrough, which is pretty unusual for me.
Yeah, exactly. I am at about 35 h into the game and so far I do not feel any kind of burnout coming. It is so satisfying to drive along your own roads and unlocking new blueprints from satisfied costumers. Hope this keeps going.
Firing up No Man's Sky for the first time on my M1 Mac. Looks nice. I really enjoyed Subnautica, so this promises to be good.
I've been hooked on No Man's Sky lately, it can be pretty zen just wandering around a seemingly endless galaxy just exploring. Welcome to the galaxy, Interloper!
once my finals are done i'm taking a one and a half hour walk to the nearest videos game store and getting TOTK and that'll probably be me sorted for the rest of the month at least
...the rest of the year....
I just now got into 2042, and it's basically bf4 all over again. this pleases me, so i'm playing that.
and now it won't connect to any servers, so i guess I am not, in fact, playing that
