Fallout 4

I've been looking for another platformer to play but can't find anything worthwhile

There will never be anything as good as Dead Cells again

I know I'm late to my own thread, but whatever, I had stuff to do. This week I played Sweet Transit, a disappointing transportation game which largely misunderstands why people play transportation games. Hopefully I'll write a proper review of it later this week, but it's likely I won't. Also played a lot of dwarf fortress, and experienced a lot of firsts: had my first siege (I generally settle in distant areas), and actually my fort became the capital. FPS is now hovering in the 50s, but I do have ~200 dwarves now, so it shouldn't decrease much further. Unfortunately, this is tanked by every single baron from the rest of the civilization coming to hang out, which is very annoying. Lastly, I got Fallout 4, and I'm playing through it for the first time. I don't like what Bethesda did to it, with the stripped down dialogue, and extreme gun autism. The settlement building also gets a why? out of ten, it's moderately interesting, probably under detailed, and I don't know why I'd put any time into it, given that it doesn't seem connected to the overarching story, and the inability to do anything really interesting is pretty gay. The random collectibles scattered across the map also don't help, because while they do reward exploration, its just another example of dumb stats autism in a place where it really doesn't belong.

Been playing Spyro on PS1 and hot darn is it a good game. Really tight moveset and neurodivergent collecting (which the game saves at all times) that tickles my brain. Great soundtrack and environment design too.

Shame the insomniac trilogy has no girl dragons though

As I said I would once I finished up USUm and sorting, here's the legendaries/shinies I've collected (not counting the the one-two (such as both Keldeo forms) of every legendary/mythical sorted into the dex portion of Home. Ignore the Gourgeist, I traded for it and haven't put it in its spot yet.

So far I think I've mostly enjoyed working through all the games I've played (HG, Black, Pearl, Y, OR, Black 2, Sun, and both US and UM. Got 99% of the dex filled in home, which is pretty much just the Sun/Moon and X/Y mythicals (Hoopa, Diancie, Volcanion, Marshadow, Zerora, and whenever I get to using GO, I'll get the free Meltan and Melmetal).

I've been only playing Stellaris, new dlc with some mods is so fun and I love the game so much. I gotta find more time to play stuff bretty hard nowadays

X men Legends

Pillars of eternity

Stellaris.

Not much else to say, new DLC is good. Not balanced of course, but I'm not sure this game was ever balanced.

Helldivers, fortnite because my boomer friends always want to, and manor lords.

Did the new experimental patch for Manor lords and it fixes a lot of issues, unfortunately he made trade crazy expensive

I briefly returned to Starfield, after seeing that Bethesda is planning to drop an update for it around May 15th, which adds quite a lot of quality-of-life improvements that should've been in the game from the start. I thought the awful monotone maps that only show the surface relief of your current planet were a deliberate design choice, harkening back to their analog “NASA-punk” aesthetic they attempted to establish. Now they come out with these colourful and informative maps, which makes me question wether Microsoft rushed the production or if Bethesda seriously thought they can No Man's Sky this by releasing an unpopular beta first and then adding all the logical and nice features down the line as “atonement” instead.

The surface vehicles they teased in the update announcement are also a peculiar thing. On one hand they can make traversing the giant empty spaces of proc-gen planets easier, but they will also make it more obvious how tiny the playable area for the player's landing zone is. Are they going to increase the playable area? If yes, then why was it so restrictive at first? Lots of what I thought were design choices now seem to be just bandaid fixes, which is bewildering considering for how long they were making the game and marketing it as the next step of their design philosophy. Either it was completely remade halfway through (leaks prove this to be false) or they finally understood the true scale of their incompetence and were stuck in a stupor as a result.

Either way, now I have chosen to 100% all of Starfield achievements before the update goes live, so I can proudly beat my chest and proclaim how I did it before the game became “playable” or “good”.

I have spoken at length about Fallout 4 in the past and don't wish to give this game any more of my time.

I really need to stick to one new game, got to leave p5 in hk and either stick to dead cells, dishonored or batman arkham. Also any noitacels willing to explain wtf the game is ?

I've been playing Fallout: New Vegas and Pokemon Colosseum. I picked up my New Vegas playthrough again after finishing the Fallout show. I've just finished Dead Money, incredible DLC. The Vera Keyes "ghost" in the Sierra Madre suites is legitimately one of the creepiest things I've seen in a game. I'm at the end game now pretty much. I have Lonesome Road to do, as well as to the rest of the main quest and that's it. Going to go back to Fallout 1 & 2. Then, maybe, I'll play through Fallout 3 again.

Pokemon Colosseum is my favourite Pokemon game. I go through it every couple of years. It's the only Pokemon game with some semblance of difficulty, and the permanent double battles/no wild pokemon is a fun twist. I'm basically at the end with this as well. I'm at the final colosseum, and I think there's one more dungeon I have to do before I battle the main boss. It's a great game, flawed but still great.

PoE.

Frick you @pizzashill , where's my map with divine orbs modifier?

I've been playing Galaga and I've gotten perfect scores on a lot of the challenge levels

The new metroidvania that everyone is creaming their jeans about, Animal Well. And so far (~2hrs in) I think it's fine, but I don't get the gush. I'm early but one problem I have so far is it's not really a metroidvania, it's more of a precision/puzzle platformer, and that's not what I was looking for. But maybe combat develops later.

Also a lot of Serious Sam 4. Total boomer shooter goodness with blood, guts, mildly crass humor (it's current year after all! can't be saying anything too risque). And like most boomer shooters, the whole game is strafe, strafe, strafe, and more strafe. But if you like the style (I do) it's fun.

Ace Combat 6

Fallout 4 literal stays good

New Vegas. It's mediocre.

It was NEVER HOLY, NEVER WERE THERE ANY “ROMANS” (a figment like ANGELS or Heaven and Heck) and IT WAS NEVER AN EMPIRE. IT WAS AND IS THE REMAINS of the COMMUNIST GANGSTER COMPUTER GOD'S CONCOCTION AND MANIPULATION MURDER INCORPORATED ORGANIZED CRIME DEADLY SNEAK CONSPIRATORIAL (SNEAK CON ARTIST) PARROTING PUPPET UNIFORMED MILITARY ATHEISTIC COMMUNIST GANGSTERISM and the worse deadly enemy of the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, NAMELY THE COMMUNIST ATHEIST CONSPIRACY WITH FRANKENSTEIN GANGSTER CONTROLS, the CATHOLIC CHURCH.
