@Aevann can these threads be pinned to front page for a few hours each week?

I've missed 3 thread since the last one

Went from modding Fallout 4 to Skyrim. Todd Howard has me in a fricking grip, man.

I've been playing the paper mario 1K door release.

It's the first rerelease of a game I've really enjoyed for a while. One of the few times the game was just as good as I remembered as a kid

It's turn based and simple so game mechanics don't feel too outdated.

It has a noticeable graphics upgrade (didn't expect because it's paper Mario)

It adds some minor quality of life improvements like for switching party members and pipes for traveling to different sections of the world.

It also adds a couple of additional boss fights that aren't intrusive on the original game.

Also adds an option to switch to the OG music if you want the classic sound.

I'm playing the first Red Dead Redemption. It really should have been a linear game but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. So far its a 7/10

I played Indika. You play as a nun on the run in 19th century Russia. It's basically a version of Justine by the Marquis de Sade, and it somehow manages to avoid anything controversial. More of a critique of naiveté than virtue. When you get r*ped by the jailer, Indika is portrayed as being stupid for trying to befriend him, but it is pretty clear he was going to r*pe her anyway. So what were her options?

A. do not attempt to befriend the jailer, 100% chance of getting r*ped

B. do attempt to befriend the jailer, 98% chance of getting r*ped, might come off like a bumpkin

Only a Russian would think the answer is obviously A. 5/10

Playing System Shock for the first time because it just got ported to console. Its an insanely good remake. Very neurodivergent game that requires alot of inventory management that makes Resident Evil play like COD. Frustrating game but great when youre in the right mood.

Was playing Crow Country but its just too for me

Elden ring. Still haven't managed to beat it

wow cata i just hit 80 on a mage.

Switching between my second Cyberpunk playthrough and Isaac runs.

Axiom verge, tetr.io

Five Nights at Cobson's.

I suck at it and can't get past night 2

I finally got around to trying Stellaris. It's okay but feels like there are too many useless variables that bleed into one another. And the fact that you can exchange one for another so easily makes resource collection feel kind of pointless. The leaders don't feel like real people either unlike in say Crusader Kings. So the game just feels like watching a bunch of random numbers go up and down. But then I've only played for a couple of hours, maybe it'll improve later on idk

Back on the Nioh 2 train. Tried Stranger of Paradise and Wo Long but they just made me want to play Nioh 2.

I want to like CK3 but I basically only play it for Elder Kings.

Like CK2 still feels like a more richer experience. Ck3 I feel like all I do is chase talent trees and balance stress until I die.

Game I am currently playing is Gunner, HEAT, PC!

Traverse left!

Building out a network of Franconian villages in Manor Lords and playing Field of Glory II's Bronze Age dlc

I am addicted to Tekken 8, my first fighting game and first game in years were I'm thinking about it at work and shit. I suck at it too, but still

CK3 is years away from being good, CK2 still blows it out of the water. The mechanics still need a lot of work and good lord do they need a ton more flavour in that game. Also more start dates, only one of the two is any decent.

cringe reddittor name but I got it in a bundle and it's a fricking great little rts lite / tower defense strategy thing.

reminds me of mechs vs kaijus tower defense which I also love a lot

Women

Still playing Lords of the Fallen and I beat it for the first time a couple days ago.

Overall a solid 6/10. Could have been higher but there are some glaring design oversights with the quest designs, enemy diversity and especially with enemy placements.

I really loved the concept of the final "fight" where a helpless god is desperately trying to convince you to free him but it felt like there should have been a mechanic for you to actually help him if manages to sway you instead of being forced to finish butchering his little zombie dudes. Link for anyone interested.
