Weekly ‘What Games Are You Playing' thread #29

Tales of Zestiria.

It's not great, but it's fun to randomly button smash while ignoring all r-slurred mechanics. What other reasons do you need?

Finishing up Turbo Overkill, and then continuing with the other games I haven't completed yet (there's too many )

Until I hyperfixate on some other game.

Destiny . New season came out, Hive themed, Hive is my favorite enemy to fight. It's the same bullshit game but it looks so good and the gunplay is unmatched. Plus my graphics gard can still keep up.

Trying to get the TLB clear in Rolling Gunner on original mode atm. Playing like complete shit and wasting perfectly viable runs on stage 4 & 5, might play some Hollow Knight or something to seethe less.

Rain World is gorgeous and incredibly satisfying to play, but be prepared to feel lost for a good while. Also some shit will feel plain unfair until you get a feel for how things work.

Trying out Hardcore Classic WoW, it's pretty fun if not for just being a F R E S H server. Made it to lvl 16 but I've almost died so many times. Luckily I picked Paladin so I have like 3 oh shit buttons already. I'm almost positive I'm gonna log in drunk and do something stupid to die but it's about the journey I guess

Pokemon Omega Ruby since I haven't played a Pokemon game since SoulSilver

I hate the trade only pokemon/evolutions so much

I finished the FF13 story. Now I'm getting to the ENDGAME GRINDING

I'm also playing South Park Stick of Truth.

Really I'm just trying to get through my backlog before I finally get a newer gaming pc and armored core, which should hopefully happen soon.

I'm re”playing” the Life is Strange games. I love the gay chick RP and I'm tired of pretending I don't.

Blasphemous 2 and Armored Core 6. More the former than the latter so far but both are really solid.

Tarmkov

I started and beat Disco Elysium last week, loved it.

Have been going through the new game from the cultist sim dev, Book of Hours, and its really cool. Also going through the fricking slog that is Pathfinder WotR. I really don't care for how overtuned every encounter feels on core.

Path of exile again lets goooooooooo

Skyrim Requiem

slay the spire: Finally achieved my goal to beat the heart on A20 twice in a row with silent. Next I'll be trying to do the same thing with defect.

Bg3: I'm about halfway through act 2 right now and I'm loving the game but Im kinda tired of being in dark areas. I'm really excited to get to act 3 for a change of scenery but I've heard some mixed things about the last act, so I'm considering holding off on that until the game is patched since I doubt I'll play through the game twice.

i gave up on RDR2. after constantly hearing since its release about how it was the greatest game ever made i was truly surprised with how boring it was. i don't think i made it more than halfway thru chapter 2 and i've been (trying) to play it for like two months. i hated it so much i basically stopped gaming for the last month.

i'm still wailing and gnashing my teeth over not being able to play BG3 so i decided to try Divinity Original Sin 2. really really fun! i'm playing as Lohse with Fane, Sebille, and Ifan as my team. i almost made it out of Fort Joy last night but my stupid black cat died from a puddle of poison and my last save was from like 2 hours back so i ragequit lol

PoE

New league is pretty half-baked, but I'm still having fun with the regular mode.

Diablo 4 also has no business being 70$. Greedy fricking c*nts.

Orb of Creation just got an update. It satisfies my autism.

Playing Ruiner the top down cyberpunk shooter

TF2. I've determined there's no good VR games other than Alyx or Blade & Sorcery.

Just finished Witcher 3 plus dlc for the first time and I'm taking a break from gaming.

I'm playing FF12 and autogrinding blue slime dudes in the mine where they respawn infinitely if you use Break on them so I can skilltreemax

Genshin Impact. Really enjoying explooring Fontaine. Any other !gacha g*mers?

Finished Wrath of the Righteous, started Baldur's Gate 3. The inability to pause during cutscenes, and in general, is actually really annoying.

Ghostwire tokyo. I just finished Farcry 6 and this game is an urban japanese reskin of the farcry games but with slow semiauto weapons and bullet-sponge enemies. I hate it but am determined to finish.

Also doing another playthrough of dante's inferno.

Grim Fandango.

Finished Bloody Heck. A lot better than it has any right to be.

Baba is You. I remember thinking I'd be too stupid for such a game but it turns out that it is a very good difficulty. I feel accomplished when I complete a puzzle while not getting hard stuck.

Also Genshin 4.0 dropped so I've been running around exploring stuff. I'm so glad they added a multilayered map because my terrible sense of direction means I get lost super easily. The underwater exploration is generally not super annoying although sometimes it's hard to interact with things. The world lore is impeccable and I've been having fun arguing with 0 reading comprehension Reddit spergs about it.

Honestly not much cause been touching grass recently but played some Witcher 3 today. Had to say goodbye to Triss, I am now sad

Only book of hours

Armored core 6 and goysloptiny2

Just finished Prey (2017) a couple days ago. I genuinely enjoyed it for the most part, especially when strip-mining every room paid off and I started to accrue enough ammo and resources to actually start to feel badass. I almost quit it at first because it was a bit too creepy for my kitty butt.

I loved the setting and the lore, but the ending felt super rushed and tacked on. The last mission didn't even offer really any kind of challenge. Basically just told you “go here, put this thing on this other thing, go somewhere else, push a button, tahdah.”

Armored Core 6, frick this Batelus

Been playing kingdoms of amalur: rereckoning

I got bored because it's too easy. Gonna get back into destiny probably while waiting on starfield

Please play it so good and the sluggies are so cute

Spoilerless Survivor campaign is one of the best games I've ever played tbh, think more about Rain World than I do most AAA releases in the past 5 years
