Weekly ‘What’re You Playing?’ thread #9

project zomboid with 30+ mods installed

I beat Nuclear Throne the other night, which was nice since I've been playing that game and Isaac every night before going to bed for years now so its been a long time coming. Probably could've done it a lot sooner by looking up tips for certain levels, but eh. Having the Eraser gun was key. Kills those green ghosties on the last two levels pretty efficiently along with the tank boss thing.

Uninstalled Atom Heart out of frustration. There's so much fricking sitting around watching cut scenes, listening to things talk... I know most g*mers are NEET shut-ins who have plenty of free time but that's no excuse. Every time I fire it up it's like half playing, half sitting there.

Fallout "A Tale Of Two Wastelands" - it's the FO4 content running on the NV engine + ability to travel between them like DLC. It's a complete pig to set up, but I've been very much enjoying it.

Guilty Gear 1 (missing link)

It's called "@BronyKong's shitty game engine". The asset loading/caching system is the current buck breaker du jour but I'm sure that there's going to be more horrors to come.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

First time I played it I was impressed by the setting, quest design and immersive sim elements but ultimately was turned off by the combat system. I started a fresh playthrough recently and made an effort to learn the combat system and so I've been thoroughly enjoying the game, and 50 hours in it's shaping up to be one of my favourites in recent memory.

Turns out that despite all its complexity there's also some mechanics that trivialize the whole combat system, master strike seems completely r-slurred and it seems equally r-slurred to not abuse it, the NPC's sure will.

I'm not very far into the main story but I've been running around doing side quests and I have to say I've been entertained by them. Many of these stories have obviously been told before but they feel fresh for some reason, maybe this is the soul I keep hearing about.

Anyways, despite its jankiness and faults, it hasn't disappointed so far. Would recommend.

diablo 4 beta

does anyone know how to get Counter Strike 2 access?

Tried to get back into Destiny but I haven't played since the Vault of Glass raid and I don't know where to start. I missed every expansion and don't have Lightfall so I'm worried that I'll sink time into content or gear that's irrelevant.

I have depression and can't enjoy anything anymore

i’m out of town for a while so no vidya. when i get home i’m gonna play the Dead Space remake with my friend. :) we’re gonna play together by taking turns at one of our houses because if i play it alone i will shit my pants to death.

More pizza tower gonna go for all the chevos

Leaf Blower Revolution. A leaf blower game, where you blow leaves.

Counter strike source, I’m somehow still bad at it after all these years but I still enjoy it

Cdda.g gaimen launched and its a bit more user friendly now, especially since pockets were a massive ux hit ( i get that being able to use your pants pockets, a hoodie pocket, and a fanny pack to hold a m16 was dumb, but god that transition was painful.) The trans continental logistics is a massive upgrade to the boredom of labs, challenging and very convenient to have ramps for my shopping cart.

MTG Arena and Risk of Rain 2. I also wanna strangle whoever ruined halo infinite quickplay - bastards

Elden ring and whoever made this shit had a finger fetish

Was gonna play starsector but a new patch is about to come out and I know its gonna take the mods a few months to catch up.

Binding of Isaac, DCSS, and Dark Souls 2, and yes I am

Oi it's my profile pic

AC III king Washington dlc

american truck simulator

i was gonna get resident evil 4 when it came out yesterday but...i can't bring myself to stop bein' a super cool trucker.

played a bit of overwatch last night with gaslamper, still shit

might get back into classic wow, though not sure if it's worth it with SoM 2 probably getting announced soon

im trying to get legend in hearthstone but its such a shitty game. i think im just trying to relive the fun i had in 2015

Doing an EU game as Denmark turned Scandinavia. Ive got a degenerate number of hours in eu so it's not new, but first game with the Lions of the North dlc.

Singleplayer-wise, my quest for an actually good RPG has led TheDKMaxxer too dark places (/vrpg/) and too BLACKSOULS II. It's good. TheDKMaxxer was playing Nioh 1 for a bit but everything past the second level was too much for my potato laptop too handle

Multiplayer-wise, Deep Rock Galactic is fun. I've slowed down a bit since TheDKMaxxer first got it but TheDKMaxxer expect too start grinding it again once Season 4 drops.

Trans lives matter

Ryza 3, later will check resident evil 4. Also need to finish wo long.

Replaying fire emblem: three houses. I love edelgard

I was looking at upgrading my pc, currently have a 1060.

checked through amazon and local pc part stores to get good deals for a 4080 build for a reasonable price, but then i realised i barely play any games that need better specs than what i currently have.

maybe racing or flight sims but all the modern AAA games dont interest me

RE4:Remake

It's surprisingly really good.

Downloaded Dolphin and replayed Medal of Honor: Frontline on hard it was an ordeal

CS2 announcement got some of the boys back into playing csgo and even though we are beyond washed up due to a multitude of reasons, it was a lot of fun.

In the previous iteration of this thread, I mentioned playing Pillars of Eternity, and while I was overwhelmingly negative in the description of my experiences with the game, I'm still playing it and I've put a solid ~20h into the game. Ever since I followed the advice of some online vidya connoisseurs (such as skipping the dialogue of certain companions, not reading everything the game offers which basically boils down to barely paying attention to anything besides the plot), I seem to like the game much more.

I've been playing more Microsoft Flight Simulator and I've been learning a new plane since I was tired of how slow the Beechcraft Bonanza I was flying was. Now I'm flying a Daher TBM 930, which is way faster and can climb way higher! The cockpit is also a lot more complicated though, so there's a bit of a learning curve.

Had a bit of a moment in during a flight in which I wasn't paying attention and the oil pressure suddenly flatlined and I had to go through the engine startup procedure while falling out of the sky. But I got it working again!

I've also been playing through Burnout Paradise. Darn, that's one heck of a game and still blows any of the arcade racers that came after it out of the water.

On top of that, small smatterings of Ultimate Racing 2D 2, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2 and Red Faction Guerilla.

Finishing up Wo Long, got to the end of NG+ now doing drop in coop with players frankly much stronger than me and going for the last achievements. Thinking about going back to Nioh 1 for old times sake (get it?)

Finishing Shadow of Chernobyl and gave subnautica a try but with the latter for some fricking reason I just can't have fun with it and I don't know why, the game itself seems to do everything correctly and I love exploration, crafting and basebuilding, but for some reason I'm just not getting joy out of it. Maybe it gets better later in the game but I'm just bummed by this experience

Super Auto Pets

It's a good phone game.

seeing ultrakillcels getting bussyblasted by p-2 makes me more impatient for the full release of the game

Hoi4 once again, just finished a Greater Iran run got a Finland run going now

Ace combat 4 then 5 and zero

Mobius-1 Is literally me

still Steel Division but i hate 1v1s :'(

Played a bit more of D4, tried out Necromancer. Now I've got the ARPG itch might buy Last Epoch to tide me over until D4 actually releases.
