I’m going to play it eventually. Already bought it, just waiting to be in the mood to get started. I am curious though… how hard is it just to figure out where you’re going? That is often my biggest hurdle in these older games, even though I grew up on this kind of stuff haha.

This game rules so far. I really like the dialogue and notes system. Plus, I honestly think it looks pretty nice for such a lo-fi style. Lots of QOL stuff for a game of this type too. Definitely check it out if it looks interesting to you!

This is exactly my experience. Always liked CRPGs, but I’ve literally never finished any of the classics, or any traditional CRPG for that matter (closest would be Disco Elysium or Dragon Age: Inquisition for me). But BG3 is really hitting for me. I absolutely love it, and I want to give more of these a try once I finish it.

I misinterpreted your original comment. We agree, haha.

There wasn’t a a pre-load for BG3 though, really. It was incompatible with their EA release.

Mostly for reference later on down the line. I’ve used threads like this several times to see what people are saying about more recent games, and it’s nice to have the date in the thread title to more easily contextualize the comments. Just a suggestion in case anyone else uses these threads like I do.

Could we add a date to the titles going forward, rather than numbering them? I was attempting to start this weekly discussion myself, and have been posting it on Sundays for the last few weeks, but I’d be happy to cede to this thread from you if you’d like, @quinten@lemmy.world

I use it daily. It’s my default browser, but it ain’t perfect. Most recently, it was an interactive map for Diablo IV that would never work on Firefox. After an update it started working, but that’s just the most recent example.

As pointed out above, individual use of Firefox doesn’t really do that much. Especially when Firefox already doesn’t work properly for some sites. Plus, lots of people (myself included) need to use Chrome for work. This shit sucks.

I moved to Apple a few years ago, and recently I’ve stopped using Chrome for anything but work, where it’s required (web development, lol). Still married to gmail and google calendar but maybe it’s time I get away from those too…

I really like this one! Just waiting for them to put more in it, because I beat it with each class as of the last time I played.

Playing bits and pieces of a lot of stuff and nothing’s really sticking. It’s frustrating, haha.

Replaying Control because I never got around to the DLC back in the day, and I want to play it before Alan Wake 2 comes out. This is my main game right now, but I’m just slowly picking away at it.

Diablo IV - omnipresent side-game for me. It’s grindy, and repetitive, and the end game and itemization need work, but I enjoy the combat so it’s been a good podcast game.

Dave the Diver - Great game, but where I’m at currently it’s become more mission-focused than I’d prefer. Still liking it, but my progress has slowed quite a bit.

The Rift Breaker - Picked this up in the Steam sale. It’s fun, if a little confusing sometimes. The UI could use some work.

Yet Another Zombie Survivors - Despite the terrible name, this one’s actually pretty fun. I’ve played an absolute ton of these things and some are more interesting than others… being able to add 2 members to your squad, as well as some of the abilities and stuff, make this one stand apart a bit. At least for a couple hours of mindless fun.

Voidigo, Revita, Crab Champions, Dropsy, and Going Under (among others, honestly) are some more that are rotating in and out as I try to find something that I’ll stick with for a bit, but nothing’s scratching the itch so far.

I liked it, but I think it’s pretty flawed. The characters really worked for me and were the biggest drive for continuing on. I liked most of the story too, but it does get pretty rote near the end. Gameplay-wise, I thought it was pretty boring. The combat is mashy, standard fights are usually over in seconds and boss fights become a slog of whittling down overly large HP bars.

I have since confirmed that Nova Lands is, indeed, exactly my shit (much like Forager was). Thank you, and go fuck yourself lol.

Uh oh… this looks like exactly my shit.

Yes, 100%. I want that one-stop shop for game news and discussion. I don’t need meme reposts here.

D2 is still fun! Not in the ways that D3 and D4 hit, imo, but for a slower, more measured taste of ARPG-style goodness, I think D2: Resurrected is actually really good. I played it a couple months ago and had a lot of fun (granted, I was a fan of D2 at release… I’m old.)

Not trying to stir shit, just genuinely curious what you have a problem with in Lemmy’s UI? Seems fine to me so far.

Yeah, same here. I created one on lemmy.one… realized lemmy.world is open and has more traffic right now, so I created a new one here. I also have a kbin user for similar reasons. But still, the content flow does seem to be slowly increasing.
