Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Finally got round to playing lego star wars the skywalker saga. Been having a blast, it’s not difficult at all (I wasn’t expecting it to be) but just so much fun to sit and chill with.
Working towards 100%ing it now, which I think is going to take quite a while! I’m at almost 60hrs now, with 64% completion.
The Hunter: Call Of The Wild. Not as focused of a hunting game as you think. I find it a super chill walking nature simulator with amazing views and animal models.
I got into this game when RDR2 awakened a need for a good hunting game in me. I really enjoyed my time with it! Looking forward to the fishing one once they iron out most of the issues.
I wish they were the same game I’d pay twice for it as the Angler forests, ambience and maps are no where near as good as the hunter. Waiting for a need zone? Throw a line out and have a fish.
The little red ball things that give you health when you kill them make exploring the map so much fun. I made it a challenge to see how far I could explore without resting at a grace by actively seeking out those red ball enemies and it was so much fun.
I’m finding it a bit underwhelming to be honest. It was so hyped, but it just feels like Dark Souls 4. I don’t find the open world really adds a lot apart from a lot of empty space filled with crafting components. The worlds in souls and sekiro were so carefully crafted and put together and I feel like the open world ruins that a bit. I guess after Sekiro did something similar but significantly different, I was expecting Elden Ring to be a bit more innovative. If I hadn’t already played the hell out of the three Dark Souls games I might enjoy Elden more. I’ll probably still beat it though and might change my opinion by the end - I certainly hated Sekiro and Dark Souls at times before I came to love them.
Are all the features that were supposed to be there at launch added yet? I absolutely loved the game for the first month or two, and so did my friend group that played with me, but it was quickly becoming clear that it wouldn’t be a finished product any time soon. I was so rooting for it to be good because the highs are so high. Sadly the lows were much lower
I never played at launch, but friends that have are praising it as a big return to form. The only thing that is sort of annoying is the crafting system and map variety is a bit limited. Other than that, I count down the minutes until everyone in my house is in bed so I can jump on and slay in the Emperor’s name.
I’ve been playing a lot of Surviving Mars lately. It’s like a city builder without most of the boring stuff, and needing to keep an eye on your resources while you are trying to build a colony on a hostile planet gives it a survival vibe.
roboquest, A super fun shooter i have been playing with my son just left early access with a ton of new stuff to do. We will be playing that for a couple weeks.
I picked that up when I saw it hit 1.0 and I’ve been loving it. I’ve kind of struggled to get into similar games like Risk of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn but this one “clicked” with me.
I finally tried Death Stranding a couple of days ago. I’m still on it. The visuals and storytelling are quite compelling.
I do understand why it’s not for most people, though. You do put a lot of effort into walking, but honestly, I’ve played harder games for less, so it’s quite alright for me.
You do eventually get better accessories and become faster.
Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart is also an amazing game. Rather relaxing to play. The visuals and story are also quite nice.
Nice choice on both. Death Stranding in particular I think I put more effort into building infrastructure to trivialise or avoid walking than I did on anything else. And I loved it.
Mostly Inkbound. 2 friends suggested it on the same day a couple weeks ago so I gave it a shot. It kind of feels like turn based Hades. There’s enough RNG to keep things interesting, and enough choice to let you explore different builds.
Also playing KeyWe with my girlfriend. It’s a series of mini games where you play as kiwi birds in a post office. Some of the tasks can feel tedious and the mechanics could use some polish, but overall it’s a good co-op game with cute animals and outfits.
Just beat Factorio (launched a rocket) for the first time a couple of days ago. Feels good.
Default settings, and I got the Lazy Bastard, no lasers, no solar, no provider/buffer/requestor chests, and SLaTfAtF achievements in one go after about 80 hours in.
Continuing the Factory for now to farm the 20m Green Circuit production achievement. Slowly transitioning from a main bus factory to a city blocks factory. Blue circuits are my bottleneck, so I’m working on scaling up production off-bus.
Planning to go for the speedrun achievements next weekend. Want to 100% the game before the new expansion they’ve been teasing drops.
