Still just playing Team Fortress 2. This is how it usually goes with me; I pick one or two games at a time and play em into the ground. Relearning how to play Scout, which I was never very good at to begin with. Takes a lot of twitchy reflexes and quick reaction time, even moreso than the other classes except perhaps Sniper when flick-shotting.

Battlebit and Trackmania mostly right now

[–] OhFudgeBars@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Been dabbling in a lot of games lately. Battlebit has been taking most of my game time for the last few weeks. Is it just me, or have servers been getting laggier?

On the single-player side, I've been slowly making my way through Asterigos, which is a Zelda-like from last year. Enjoyable combat, gorgeous settings, but I can't help being reminded of a post on r/truegaming about how bad writing can ruin a game. All of the dialog feels way too modern for its own good (which isn't helped by the "aspiring voice actor" grade acting), and most of the plot points have been boring or predictable.

I also have a guilty pleasure in f2p trash like Smash Legends and Flash Party. Judge me all you want.

I'm considering modding my Stardew Valley game yet again. Haven't maxed out all the things, tedium is creeping in.

I'm trying to play the lastest Duviri Paradox in Warframe, but man this is such a boring slog. Imagine if you took the most horrible clunky combat from the Soulsborne games and combined it with the most infuriatingly random roguelike RNG, and then you added the most insane grind to it in order to make your character not instantly die from the weakest of enemies.

Needless to say, I do love Warframe, but by the gods I thoroughly hate the Duviri Paradox with a passion I usually just reserve for Soulsborne games.

The Mass Effect trilogy and simultaneously making a guide in Notion containing who to bring for unique dialogue, collectibles and instructions if they're not given in game.

I'm playing some old school Black Ops II Zombies with some friends. Buried is such a great zombie map!

Finally got around to playing Vermintide 2. Holy crap, I LOVE this game. Me and my girlfriend have been playing it, trying out all the classes and weapons. It is amazing how much build diversity there is in Vermintide.

Just finished the main story of Pikmin 4, now working on the post game content. Also played a little bit of Cassette Beasts with the gf and it's an interesting game, pretty fun for the couple hours I played it.

Almost done with Pokémon Shining Pearl.. which has not been as bad as I expected. I mainly went for it to play with my 'mons only compatible with BDSP.

Just grinding the Grand Underground for mysterious shards now to catch all the legendaries in Ramanas Park.

Trackmania! I'm trying to get better and I've been playing for the past few months, I have mostly silvers on the summer campaign now!

[–] Bigfudge@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Playing Days Gone love the story and gameplay

[–] Dassen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just finished Dave the diver, was a bit longer then expected (30hr)

Thinking about eastward of Mutazion next

[–] curryandbeans@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Remnant 2

I enjoyed the first but didn't complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it's fun as hell.

[–] HollowNotion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] quinten@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Why exactly do you prefer the date?

I used £35 of Microsoft Rewards points and picked up Remnant 2 on whim. Didn't play the first one but I'm really enjoying this so far.

[–] raptir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I gave in and bought Diablo 4. I haven't gotten to the endgame but I'm having a lot of fun playing through the campaign so far.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Citizen Sleeper. Really enjoyable sci-fi-writing and chill gameplay.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Finally started playing Chrono Trigger. I've never been a huge fan of older games or JRPGs, but what I heard about the quality of the game and it's story interested me enough to give it a shot regardless. So far I'm actually enjoying it a lot!

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Xenonauts 2 Early Access - got to the end of playable content.

What is there already is solid, and I have no doubts the full game will be really good. It feels like somewhere between 30-50% along the plot has been added. The game on display right now is not worth the listed price, so anyone not super duper interested in seeing it take form along the way should hold off until release.

[–] nogrub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

just redownloaded fallout 4 with around 250 mods it's just bonkers to me what modders are doing with that game

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I am waiting for Baldurs Gate 3 to release and in the meantime I was just staring at my screen buuuut just got the word that both of the Zelda Oracle games are now on Switch Online or whatever it is called, so that is how I will spend my weekend:))
