I've been playing old RPGs the past few months, and a lot of them are painful. I've realized that most of them didn't really have much content, but they forced you to grind levels between bosses to make it last longer.
That being said, last weekend I started Final Fantasy V.
This is what a JRPG should feel like! It's hard to explain, but it flows so well. I've had some challenging encounters, but changing my strategy usually gets me through it in two or three attempts.
I think I'm going to get further in this one than I have with most others. (I have WAY too many ROMs backlogged to waste time on games that I am not excited to boot up)
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.
starfield. fortnite. backyard baseball (i LOST the super mega collosal super championship of the future thing). call of duty world war 2 (i still destroy in that game 😎). madden 10 (i cant stop winning by 40 points)
Wow backyard baseball brings back some memories. Now i have to find it
scummvm and there are plenty of places to download the game, or you can find the discs online too
Prodeus. Amazing tribute to the classic doom games. Retro style with modern elements, gun play and sound design is spot on
Last month I replayed assassin's creed, now on ac 2. Its still soo good. Somehow managed to fully upgrade the villa before memory block 5, so I guess no need to worry about money anymore. You could say this playthrough Ezio bacame the banker his dad wanted him to be
Warframe - Plague star is back, and that means F O R M A. i suspect my time will be monopolized by that until i completely burn out.
i love Warframe i just don't know what to do anymore
Working on getting the last trophy in the Demon’s Souls remake. Just need to get all the spells and I’m set. Almost through my run getting the spells from Frake then need to new game plus to get the ones from Yuria.
Battlefield 1, BG3!
Recently got to playing the Tomb Raider trilogy I got from Epic Games.
Done with the first one, working on the second one atm. (Fuck that bear at the start. Fucking menace.)
I prefer these games at the lowest setting because, for me, the biggest part of these games that I SHOULD be involved in is the story. Anything that keeps me from that is a bother, to me at least.
The story is fun, the gameplay is exciting and thank GOD they figured out SHIFT to sprint by the second game, amirite guys?!
PS - Suggest a good MyAnimeList or IMDb equivalent for gaming... I saw Backloggd is pretty cool...
Played Just over the weekend. Good, short game.
W40k Darktide. The gameplay is so enjoyable. Even better with friend(s).
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.
Been playing Return to Moria with a friend and we're having a blast! Got to do a few games of The Finals playtest and that was great fun.
Also got to test a few games of CS2 and actually enjoyed that more than expected as well.
Also been playing RTM with a friend the past week. Definitely fun but still pretty buggy. TBH it's the sweet spot for us LOTR fans and Survival fans. It's got a bit of both but does not excel in any of them.
The more I play it, the more I enjoy it. Sure it has its flaws and definite issues, but they've also hit a perfect mid of systems to manage (food, temps, disease etc) where it makes sense and it's not too overbearing. They've also included a hefty amount of welcome QoL changes.
Still, I can't craft bulk cloth at once etc and some of those things irk me. The procedural (?) generation is a bit repetitive and mob spawns are a complete mess
I wish I knew.
I tried Quake Champions for the first time earlier but I don't think I'll get into it.
Robocraft 2 just launched and I have no desire to play it after reading reviews.
I streamed Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi on Halloween and magically beat it in 3 sessions with the best possible ending. So now that's done. I just don't know, man.
Risk Global Domination
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.
I just finished Ghost Recon Wildlands for the like 3rd time.
Is fallen ghosts and narco road dlc worth it, or should I buy breakpoint instead? I heard a lot of good shit about breakpoint.
Man I still haven't finished that game once and it's been years lol. The DLCs are cool, the Predator one is hard as hell, so come prepared.
Cheers mate
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.
It definitely takes a while. Some side content is really just tedious, but I try to power through some days. I'm still not there yet though lol.
Tbh playing it makes me want them to remake some of the older games (especially Lego Harry Potter) in the new style. Having a full 3D Lego Hogwarts to explore would be pretty cool, and having that over-the-shoulder aiming for spells would be pretty cool too.
Slowly churning my way through sekiro. Beating elden ring have me confidence to return to older from games.
Lies of P on PS5. Just started it and it’s effing excellent.
I'm almost done with my current playthrough of GTA4, started a new modded game of Skyrim so I can bash people around with two-handed weapons, been diving back into Exanima and I've been trying out the Half Sword demo as well.
I really want to sink my teeth into Tainted Grail, but it's still EA and my current save doesn't work.
Just finished the first Phoenix Wright, almost done with Warioland 4 and I think I’m at the end of act two of Baldurs Gate 3. Not enjoying bg3 as much as others unfortunately, maybe crpg is just not my thing.
