Weekly "What are you playing" Thread || Week of July 9th
Hey all!
Figured we’d try something like this. Let me know what you all think, and if you have any feedback on what you would like a weekly thread like this to look like. Thanks
What are you all playing? Anything you got from the steam sale you’re enjoying?
Frostpunk and Diablo 4. Frostpunk is my first civ management game in a while (played lots Age of Empires and Age of Wonders back in the day) and OH MAN is this game good. Diablo is…compelling enough but not better than 3. Dislike the online aspect mainly but overall the game has its merits.
Fire Emblem Three Houses again - So much changes between the 3 different stories in that game, it is so much bigger than I initially realized. When my partner was talking about what happened in their playthrough and it didn’t at all resemble my Golden Deer playthrough I realized I’d have to get back to it one day.
All the hype around the My House Wad last month got me interested in playing Doom II so I'm working my way through it this week. I played through the first Doom ages ago, but just never got around to the sequel. Looking forward to diving into the Doom 2 modding scene when I've played through it.
Been making my way through totk. I think I enjoyed playing the first one more but it’s still pretty good. I’m stuck at the lost woods though, have no idea what I’m supposed to do. I might have done a main quest early so maybe I just have to progress to that point?
I’m playing a heavily modded Fallout 4. I got a mod where you can start more like a regular RPG and choose your backstory and where you start, and all of the dialogue relating to Sean has been taken out. It’s great, way more fun. My character is a drunk who washed up on Nordhagen beach and is living with the settlers and killing raiders for them and building them a nice house :)
I’ve been really into Lord of the Rings Online with my buds, MMOs aren’t for anyone but if you really like LoTR it’s an absolutely phenomenal experience.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly on Ironman mode. Starting my 8th run. Haven’t even made it close to chernobyl with any of my past characters yet. I honestly like it, makes the endgame that much more intriguing when you get closer each run.
If anyone is interested in a hardcore survival FPS game that is highly customizable to your preference give it a try. It’s free to download and it is a standalone game so no need to own any previous titles 👍
X4 Foundations. The Kingdom End expansion is awesome and I absolutely adore everything Boron. Just yesterday I finally broke the mexican standoff my fleet (and that of the Argon) had with the Xenon. For multiple real life hours, we had our fleets parked menacingly at the respective ends of the jump gates that connect two sectors. I charged through the gate with my entire fleet after the Xenon sent through a large portion of their fighters (which got obliterated by my ships) so only their capital ships were remaining. Had to hit the bed during a short break in the battle, though, so the outcome is still to be determined.
In other news, I’m also playing a lot of The Isle again and having a lotta fun with the new dinos and mechanics that have recently been added/tweaked. I’m positively surprised how chill many deino (crocodiles basically) players are about sharing the rivers with beipis (think penguins but in tropic climate)
I started replaying Grand Theft Auto V since it was added to GamePass. Aggalos, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever, Tunic, and started replaying The Elder Scrolls Online.
For me, I am playing through Oblivion for the first time!
After seeing the starfield trailer I figured it was time for me to fill in this gap I had in the bethesda library. I am using some mods from the “through the valley” mod list and have been having a great time so far. The game is really goofy, but the exploration has been great so far. Also got the mods set up on my steam deck, and its been working great!
I found it way too late and couldn’t get over the dated graphics, but I LOVE Skyrim. I’ve put 300 hours into it just exploring, haven’t even finished the main campaign.
I finished a playthrough of the legendary edition of the trilogy earlier this year. Still great and after all the time that’s passed since the original ME3 release I can almost accept the ending(s).
Grinding through nightmare dungeons in Diablo 4, and because I fell down a YouTube tutorial hole I’m retrying Frostpunk. Hopefully I can stave off the guilt from slapping makeshift prosthetics on orphans long enough to finish it this time.
