Playing Starfield, very fun so far but man it is demanding on my graphics card, barely holding 30 fps.

Also playing project zomboid with friends making our way to louisville.

All starfield, all the time. Been extremely enjoyable, can't wait to do a modded new game plus.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood! It's a really good visual-novel-style game, but with the added element that you craft your own tarot-style divination deck and then draw cards from it during some conversations, and which cards you draw influence what kinds of readings you can give for people. It is established early on that since you were a kid your readings have never been wrong, and fittingly the game warns you early and repeatedly that your answers will affect your fate, dramatically. Well, no kidding! When I was playing yesterday I had a choice that I'd made hours earlier come back and bite me in the ass, hard. Almost made me want to quit and start over, but I've decided to see this play-through through and if by the end I still feel like I need to fix my mistakes I'll maybe play it a second time.

tl;dr if you like beautiful pixel art, enigmatic beings from outside of space and time, witches, tarot, and/or choices that actually matter in your games, do give this one a go! I'm not done with it yet but I'd already love to chat with someone else who's played it!

Surprising lack of Armored Core 6 in here. Has everyone just beaten it already, or did it get overshadowed by Baldur's Gate and Starfield.

Just finished first playthrough last night, and maybe halfway through my second now.

Replaying RE2 remake while waiting for Re4r DLC. Surprised to find a new mode there that I don't have any memory of, it was added later I guess. Problem with being a patient gamer is that mod support stops and the game is updated and breaks it.

Started Noita again. Got to the Mushrooms but got thrashed by a Pikkuturso. Good times.

I'm playing starfield way too much. Every now and then I get a break to continue my Minecraft project with the kids. The internet keeps telling me I'm not supposed to be having fun with starfield but it's just not working, I'm really excited about the new capital ship I'm working on now.

Baldur’s Gate has held a month-long vice grip on me that will finally come to a close in idk 30-40 more hours when I finish act 3 ololololol

  • NEO: The World Ends With You

    • I've only played TWEWY Final Remix on Switch recently. I find the control frustrating. Docked, it's barely playable with joycon motion control, while undocked, it's tiring, and my finger keeps obstructing the screen. The game also keeps interrupting you, very often when you moved between screens, and sometimes just halfway running, someone will just stop what you're doing halfway for conversation that's not that essential.

    • Now, this sequel has improved the gameplay part a lot. It still has problem with interruptions. But at least with proper controller support, this game is way better than its predecessor.

  • Immortality

    • This is very slow, not sure if I will eventually enjoy a 10 hour FMV mainly consists of clips not in proper order. Also, I prefer Her Story's keyword search than this, because now I need to manually scrub the clips to the point of interests. So far I'm not enjoying the story as much, mainly because it's about acting for now.
    • spoilerI know there's some supernatural stuff in it
    • I can't help but fantasize, what if the setting is sci-fi mystery, you scrub thru a number of CCTV, interviews, interrogations videos, about some weird alien / sci-fi murder. So far Immortality feels like a slog.

Just beat the campaign for 2077 for the first time on Thursday. Been playing starfield for 2-3 min at a time hoping it won't keep stuttering to a complete halt, but it does every time. But no matter my buddy sold me his old components after his most recent upgrade. So while it won't hit the recommended specs it should cross the minimum and hopefully no more freezing! In the meantime bdl3, 2point hospital, battletech.

I just got into Factorio, and I'm lucky I have other stuff going on in my life, because it's such a big rabbit hole I don't think I'd come out! I never played it or even knew what the game was about, but the announcement last week about the space expansion got me to download the demo.

[-] UnfortunateTwist@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Started playing Lost Judgment, interspersed with Baldur's Gate 3 whenever I can play with my friend.

It's a few years old, but I've been working on getting 100% achievements in Conarium over the weekend. I'm always a sucker for a Lovecraftian game, and it's one of the more visually interesting walking sims that I've played. I only have two achievements left, so I'm hoping I can clear them either today or tomorrow. I need more disk space for other games lmao

I started playing The Ezio Trilogy. Finished AC2 and Brotherhood back in the day, but never Revelations. The last AC game I played was (a bit of) AC3, but dropped it and never played an AC game ever again.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Have been glued to BG3 for quite a bit now. I am thinking about booting up the old Portal games again, just as a small break.

Mass Effect Andromeda! I just played through the ‘Legendary Edition’ of the trilogy, and despite what I’d heard about Andromeda, I couldn’t resist it at under $4 at GameStop.

…and I’m actually enjoying it a lot!

I wonder if it might actually get better reviews if it were released today. We’re more used to open worlds, and it’s less expected that you’d try to finish every little quest line you are presented with (‘Oh, don’t do that - that’s just for people who really like collecting things!’), and more expected that you’d jump around between places and not ‘complete’ one area before going on to another.

I’m not really seeing the problem with facial animations that some reviewers complain very loudly about - and some people online say rendered the game ‘unplayable’. Maybe I’m just not attuned to see it? Or maybe they updated it after release?
