On time this time :)
Whatcha been playing! After uploading my 3ds spot pass data I’ve been on a wario ware gold binge, trying to complete all missions in the game.
Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and I’m the final dungeon. Loved the game.
Also playing a mobile MMO called Grow Stone Online and it sucks.
Not sure what I’m going to play after FF7 Rebirth, but I’m kinda craving a FPS.
Mario Kart 7 online this morning, I assume it’ll just go dead at some point :'(
Pretendo works I think
I’ll probably play a few other games in the short term but I imagine it’s suddenly getting a lot of attention so looking forward to trying it out!
Well, I did a round of Mario kart online with pretendo that worked, just do not visit the badge arcade
Ifbyou use pretendo in badge arcade your badges get wiped
WarioWare is very easy to binge :b
I have hung up the cape on Helldivers 2 for now, each patch makes the game more and more unstable. It’s to the point where I rarely make it two missions without crashing, losing progress each time has pretty sucked all the fun out of the game.
The timing is good, though, I snagged a spot in the Once Human beta test and have been really enjoying it. Surprisingly fun with interesting building, crafting, and exploration mechanics. Definitely a time sink though ^^;
Dragon’s Dogma 2, getting close to 80 hours. I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface because, now that I’m getting 60’ish level pawns to run in my party, I’m still finding a ton of secrets in areas I’ve already explored extensively. In the game, the pawns you summon can show you secrets about the world that their players have discovered. It’s a neat mechanic.
If you like exploring open worlds, it’s a pretty great game.
Man, I couldn’t get into the game at all. I just found it really boring and a chore to play most of the time. This is one of those games, where I don’t get what others see in it at all.
That’s okay.
It’s definitely not for everyone. I like it because it’s fun to explore the world they’ve built, but it’ll be more fun when the launch bugs are worked out.
Marvel Midnight Suns. Disregarded it on announcement and launch because I wasn’t interested in the core card-based system. Played a little bit of Slay the Spire, which didn’t catch with me but did suggest I might actually be able to enjoy a card-based system with enough narrative context to keep me interested.
So far, so good. I just completed Act 1 (which prompted me to exclaim “that was only act 1??”) and I’m a little worried that I’m going to tire of the side missions soon and lose steam overall, but it hasn’t happened yet. The characters are fine enough, although they definitely give off MCU fanfic vibes (it’s jarring to me having a Peter Parker voiced by Yuri Lowenthal who is such a little remora sidekick in his characterization). The loop is pretty satisfying, if not a little clunky, and I wish the balance between doing battles and running around the abbey grounds leaned a little less on the abbey stuff.
But it’s a lot of fun and very addictive. I’m saddened that it performed poorly but I bear my part of the responsibility willingly.
which didn’t catch with me but did suggest I might actually be able to enjoy a card-based system with enough narrative context to keep me interested.
FYI, you can learn bits and pieces about Slay’s lore through the various events that come up. A pretty large chunk of lore comes up upon one particular respawn/new run.
That’s cool. I do enjoy lore, but more in an “explain it to me on YouTube” kind of way than an “uncover it organically through gameplay” way. I need characters, acts, and arcs to be immediately engaged.
I’m guessing maybe you don’t like detective games in which you have to uncover the plot yourself. I suppose it’s all about the method of presentation for me.
The most recent detective game I played (if it qualifies as such for you) was Paradise Killer, which surprisingly I enjoyed quite a bit. Again though, the lore has close ties to the interpersonal relationships of all the characters on the island.
I tried it and I just… couldn’t get into it… It’s sure incredibly stylish, though!
Been playing skul: the hero slayer
Its hard but fun
Played some Crisis Core FF7 (PSP) during down time on a road trip. I forgot how clunky the game feels, but it’s entertaining enough.
I’d like to see how the remaster compares… According to what I’ve heard, the cutscenes are upscales of the original FMVs, which are both odd and intriguing.
After all the trouble I had with Horizon Forbidden West for a couple of days (endless crashing), it’s been great since then. As if nothing ever happened. So, I’ve just been exploring, killing, and looting.
Then, I also started Dave the Diver. It’s a great game, even better than I thought it would be.
Vampire Survivors on the Switch, Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy XIV on the PC.
Just finished playing Axiom Verge. Since I picked up a SteamDeck, I’m trying to play through my library. I’m trying to figure out which game in my library to tackle next between Blasphemous, Forager, or Spiritfarer.
SnowRunner just went on sale, so I’ve just picked that up and am waiting on it to install :)
I also picked up No Man’s Sky, Turbo Golf Racing, and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and am having a great time with all of them!
Been on a Cyberpunk 2077 binge for the last 2 weeks or so. I’m maybe 4-6 hours away from completing everything except the final main story mission. It’s been an absolute pleasure, I haven’t found myself wanting to come back to a singleplayer game in the same way for some time. I know the game had a rocky start, but having picked it up much later, it’s a welcome addition to my “would recommend” list of games for RPG-lovers.
