I just platinumed Jedi Survivor (which was awesome, you should play it) and I’m looking for my next new awesomeness to play.
Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I’m doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).
Totk and I started to listen to earthbound music while at work, so I loaded up Mother 1 on 3ds… The save game put me at magicant, and I went back to the starting town and got killed by a death truck… Ninten can’t breathe!
Legend of Zelda BoTW. Trying to finish the game before I start playing ToTK.
You’re definitely going to burn yourself out on that formula
Nope, still going strong. Already bought ToTK on launch so I’d have something to look forward to. Got 2 devine beasts down (almost 3).
Recently became a father and regained my love for my Switch, since it allows me to play in short bursts and pause whenever and wherever I need to. I’m currently playing through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and loving it.
Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.
Stellaris - I’ve spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.
Re: Stellaris - me too, and I bet a lot of other people as well. It has what my friend group calls “the Civilization problem”; the initial setup and expansion is by far more interesting than the late game when things are more static. Stellaris does it better than the Civ games, in my opinion (mid and late game crises and events help), but still falls into the same trap. I’m not really sure how this could be solved, but maybe something like late-game expansion opportunities (like the L cluster, but more) and more robust internal politics and espionage could help.
Agreed. I’ve seen there is a mod to add more mid/late game encounters or content, but I haven’t tried it yet. I think more developed diplomatic events would make mid/late game more interesting. Most of my playthroughs end up being an arms race towards the end, which sure that can be a fun aspect of the game, but not super interesting. Very much like civ, and I think you’re correct they both suffer from the late game “domination” aspect.
My idea of a successful Stellaris game it not coming in first, but making it to the end with a functional empire.
I’m also probably a noob when it comes to Stellaris, but I still enjoy it.
Almost done with Control right now. It’s a really good game. A little too creepy though!
Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I’m so glad they’re making a sequel.
Control is one of my all time favs, only one of three games I’ve ever 100%'d on steam.
Just started Final Fantasy 16 today! Not very far in yet but I am enjoying it. Seems a little easy so far though but at least the combat looks cool lol
Been playing The Last Story for the Wii. Really enjoying the story so far and the battle mechanics are pretty interesting.
just beat red dead redemption 2. seriously epic story and amazingly gorgeous environments. going to dabble in red dead online just to get a few more achievements. thinking elden ring next!
I’ve mostly been playing Wreckfest on my Steam Deck. Fun to pick up and play a few rounds.
Wrapping up Hollowknight, finished up elden ring before that. Looking to try out FFXVI.
Was wanting to check out the jedi games too.
The Jedi games are absolutely amazing in terms of storyline.
I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.
After I finish that, I want to work on Dread Delusion.
Street Fighter 6. I never got into SF 5, but this iteration kind of makes me want to play all the time.
I’m deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I’m completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It’s absolutely beautiful in every way possible
Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games ever. I envy you playing it for the first time.
It’s so good. I like the cut of your jib, so I might give Jedi Survivor a closer look.
I’m still working through Tears of the Kingdom.
I’ve also been playing the boardgame, Wingspan.
