The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 03-08-2023

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.

Hadriscus,

I’ve been on my first RDR2 playthrough. Unfortunately once I get to the bank job in StDenis I’m treated to a BSOD every time, as soon as I start the mission. So I alternate with a little Psychonauts, which I also never played before. Real good stuff, old school platforming, just what I love. I grew up on Megadrive then Xbox and I kinda miss the plethora of platformers that released in the day. If anyone has a good (recent) platformer recommendation…

Slay the Spire when I want some time off with work/course while I watch videos or podcasts.

CrossCode at night when I’m free. This is my new addiction as I keep thinking about it constantly. Honestly really fell in love with this game almost instantly. Even though the game is like 5 years old, this was my surprise of this year! Shout out to the few CrossCode fans here on Lemmy, we exist!

Elden Ring with the seamless coop mod at night with my friends when they’re available. I’ve already got all the endings with multiple characters but I keep playing because it’s extremely fun with homies, and also because I just want another excuse to keep playing it lmao

Deep Rock Galactic when I want to play for a few minutes then go back to work.

Final Fantasy when I’m done with work.

And Kingdom Hearts 1 on my mobile when I’m bored but too tired to get on my PC.

I finished both Diablo 1 (devilutionx) as well as Diablo 2 (remastered). Both are still great games

adaveinthelife,

Dysmantle, great little indie game I played on PC back in EA but now enjoying the final product on PS5 as it was included in PS Extra

You smash the environment and zombies to level up and find parts to build new weapons and tools. The game is a bit wonky but the satisfaction of getting that new weapon to be able to break down larger objects is addicting. Will set you back 20+ hours at least.

OrgunDonor,

Still deep in on Street Fighter 6, hit Diamond with Manon, and now heading to diamond with Marisa, and really tempted to push for Master rank with her. Still having a huge amount of fun with it, and excited to watch Evo this weekend.

Finishing up Remnant 2, several play throughs complete, and have had a lot of fun in single player and co-op. Definitely will be back for more.

Will be playing Baldurs Gate 3 this evening, really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this game, and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did the short period I had in Early Access.

Managing to squeeze at least one excursion on Hoxxes IV every morning before my gf wakes up.

Leave No Dwarf Behind!

TransplantedSconie,

BG3. Within two minutes of the cut scene to start the game, my Bard touched something and immediately died. It’s just like I remember!

schwimmbux,

Just got Back into valorant. The Grind hurts. +Started elden ring when im in for sth non competitive

AceFuzzLord,

I just recently got the pokemon fan game Pokemon Empire working on my phone through JoiPlay and I’m loving how it actually works since now I can play it on the go and will probably end up surpassing my save on my desktop.

The music is great, I love the story, there are some really cool fakemon I love, and the mechanics changes are amazing.

I may have learned how to play pokemon better by playing Reborn and Rejuvenation, but Empire has taught me the importance of stat changes and set-up moves more than either of the other 2 listed could.

RedForFred,

Thanks for talking about that game, I’ve never been sold on a Pokémon fan game before but this one sounds really interesting

drekly,

Factorio when I have time on my hands, evil within when I want a story, battlebit when my friends are online, and loop hero when I’m working

I’m quite deep into a second Satisfactory playthrough. My first one was quite some updates ago, so I’m really enjoying all the new stuff like ziplines, drones, hoverpacks and many more things. This time I’m playing with friends, and the multiplayer experience is definitely still very early-access.

Crashes are quite frequent, and we’re having plenty of other glitches like stuff not building (instead the hologram just remains), and other desync issues. We also had to ban blueprint saving since every interaction with saving or organizing them seems to have a high crash probability. Luckily we made a couple of nice ones before the ban that we do seem to be able to use safely.

Nevertheless it’s great fun though. We’re getting to the endgame and are now doing things that I never got to in my first playthrough (and have also changed afaik) like nuclear power. Being with more people also allows the factory to grow way larger, so its insane to see how large and complicated everything has grown. It’s a beautiful mess of many conveyor belts, tractors, trucks, trains, hypertubes, hypertubes launchers, etc.

Drinvictus,

The bum simulator 🤡

Crazazy,

I decided to load up tropix again. The game is so much more simplistic than I remember it being when I was like 9

punter,

BG3 The player is given so much freedom. This is what gaming used to feel like.

D4 when friends are playing. It is getting monotonous though. I was going to explain more but everyone here already understands.
