Weekly ‘What’re you playing?’ Thread #21: @loli_esports forgot got chudded edition

I finished playing through all of the remastered halo games in the master chief collection (except 4, which i played when it first came out and have zero interest in ever playing again), and am now replaying halo:reach. It is far and away the best halo game, and pretty much the only one I hadn't played when it came out.

I'm actually playing fallout 3 again but without blowing up megaton and stuff

i played with my weiner today. it got kind of roughed up from some intense fricking a few days ago, so i had to give it a few days off and put aveeno on it once a day. seemed to go alright with a TON of lube, so hopefully in 2-3 days ill be back on track!

Vintage Story, it's like minecraft but actually challenging

simcity 4 again. Also made an attempt at starting Disco Elysium. Also shitty KMMOs( ) and some stuff I picked up on the steam summer sale, which I haven't assessed yet, excepting Anno 1800. It's a fascinating game in so many ways. Pure globohomo kino, so IG I'm glad ubi came crawling back.

Been playing God Hand; I have been wanting to get into games that I missed out on, and I literally missed the entirety of the PS2. I had a gamecube and xbox, then a wii, so I just never got around to it

God Hand has been fricking amazing, it's immediately obvious that the quality of the game rests purely on the gameplay, because there's seemingly only like a handful of enemy models and music tracks, so the combat really needs to impress (which it absolutely does). I'm only a few hours in but I totally get why it's a cult classic

After this, I'm thinking I'll either play Silent Hill 2 or Fatal Frame, because I also completely missed both of those franchises. I know SH2 is supposed to be goated, and it's getting a remaster/remake, so playing the OG seems like a good idea

Play Granblue Fantasy Versus. It's $2 on Steam.

Still Bloodborne. I play in short bursts here and there and this game still has boss runs and shit so it's more time consuming than it seems. I'm ashamed to admit that I looked up how to find several areas. I'm kind of lazy about playing ng cycles. And I fricked up majorly recently by summoning the Madara twin in the dlc, and then summoning Valtr. I summoned the first guy out of curiosity and I summoned Valtr because he's based. I was too r-slurred to send the twin back, which in turn made Ludwig a shitter gankfest. I absolutely ruined what was definitely the best fight I've seen up to this point. Chalice dungeons kind of suck but I do like the concept. Overall great game and I wish it was longer.

My TV broke, so nothing

Spent yesterday downloading Witcher 3, will finally try it this week.

I've heard it's very good and I loved the previous 2 games

Finished planetscape torment and undetale, both kino. Playing torment:tides, spiritual successor to planetscape

Playing Sims 3

I just finished playing No Straight Roads. It's a 3d action rhythm game thats unfortunately kind of mediocre. You play as a rock band living in a city ruled by EDM DJs, and lead a revolution after rock music is banned. Each DJ has a boss battle and theme, and over the course of the fight you do a tug of war with them where you try and turn it into a rock song and they try to keep it as an EDM song. I found out about it through the soundtrack and I finally bought the game while it was on sale.

As a game, it's really barebones. It's just 6 boss fights and some minor stages. It's really short too. But the soundtrack is excellent.

lots of Everspace

no i didnt, i got chud/jannied https://rdrama.net/h/vidya/post/186164/weekly-what-games-are-you-playing

grinding OSRS on the weekend, almost level 99 fire making

making a pure took so much longer than I expected but it’s been comfy

Replaying soy of war ragingcök, it's even worse than I remembered. Combat can be fun at times but the cutscenes and the atreus sections are unbearable. The first time around I didn't notice just how shitty the voice acting is (except for kratos, odin and atreus' black gf).

Mortal kombat 11 (just started playing for the first time after pre-ordering mortal kombat 1)

The return of monkey island

Splinter cell pandora tomorrow

The only thing that is advanced from this thread is my stage 4 cancer from reading it.

Bought a Steam Deck and beat RE2 over the weekend. No complaints about the deck itself - it's a very comfy way to play games while lying on the bed. I encountered a couple of minor ui bugs, of which the most annoying ones are:

• the Steam menu not showing up - you can hear the navigation sounds, but it is like the steam overlay got stuck behind the game window. Fixed after a reboot

• If the game uses multiple windows to do transparency effects (e.g. RE2 cutscenes where a vhs is playing) you get a static color test pattern instead. Not a deal breaker in RE2, but it prevented me from playing Endless Space 2 because it messes up the management screens.

Played more Far Cry 6 with a friend. Nothing new to say about that one; it's painfully mediocre.

But I finally got around to getting the updated version of Warcraft 3, so I've been playing a shitload of that. Perhaps the best single player RTS campaign? Though my micro game is weak, so managing all those spells and abilities is a bit tricky for me. As far as I can tell, Reforged edition is pretty much just a graphics update; the gameplay seems identical to the original release - including some quirks that I wish they had addressed. I don't think much of anything was done to improve the engine. Encountered a couple of CTDs as well, which was annoying. Plus there doesn't appear to be cloud saves, which is a weird omission.

Undead is a super fun faction to play. Using necromancers to throw endless waves of skeletons at the enemy doesn't get old.

FF14 with my wife, DRG with the boys.

>OSRS

Will never understand how people can fall in line for OSRS, its all such a massive grind even for just dumb shit. At least in wow xp is either character or profession and its easy to max out quick but god darn osrs is just insane. Its like 60 hours nonstop to max out 1 of 23 skills.

I've been playing the newest hot off the presses unique anime-styled roguelike card game with slay the spire inspirations which is totally not like any of the hundred others called WildFrost. It's actually very good and I've had a lot of fun with the combo/tribe system but I'm a bit pissed at how I barely made it to the final boss before being absolutely destroyed by turn five. The RNG in your initial character choices can really mess up your runs

Still just playing diablow.

I have that fmv game immortality and have been meaning to play it for a while but I'm having trouble mustering the motivation.

um lots of game pass games, and i’ve settled around sd gundam battle alliance because i’m pretty desperate for mechs lol

I've been playing Rebel Inc.: Escalation (needs UI improvements but fun to toy with) and Silent Hunter 3.

I finished my Dark Souls 2 run. Still love that game to bits, even after replaying ER and DS3. Shoutout to the people still putting down summon signs in DS2.

Although I'm almost Soulsed out, I continued backward through the series to DS1. I think 1 might actually be the easiest if you know what you're doing. I've made very quick progress, and even soloed Ornstein and Smough my first try (if messily). This time I mixed up my run a bit by exploring the Catacombs and rescuing Reah before Sen's Fortress. I also joined the Warriors of Sunlight and took some time to help people gank the Gargoyles, Quelaag, and O+S.

Gone back to playing minecraft modpacks, playing this one called Universio which isn't too heavy with mod volume.

Vermintide/DRG with the boys and Starsector

Cruelty Squad because funny inflation man told me it gud
