Whatcha all been playing! I got the itch for outer wilds again, which I can’t really play anymore (😭)
So I decided to start a game I’ve wanted to play for a while that I thought could scratch a similar itch: ghost trick phantom detective. It’s really good!
Out of nowhere, I had the sudden urge to play New Vegas again, so that’s been taking up my time. Been enjoying a more Vanilla+ playthrough, just the patches to help it run better. And Someguys quest mods, but they fit right in to me. Still haven’t made my way onto The Strip, though I’ve cleared Boone’s quest and I’m working on Veronica’s(with E-DE in tow, of course).
It’s been awhile for me, been a nice revisit. Just taking my time, and really enjoying all the little rediscoveries I’ve been making.
Flipwitch: Forbidden Sex Hex :D
Very horny and actually pretty decent metroidvania, lots of jiggly titties
Splatoon 1 on Pretendo! Got my Wii U hooked up earlier this week after the official servers shut down.
Nice! I got pretendo set up too. Mainly to play Mario maker though. It’s an awesome service
Still on Dragon’s Dogma 2. (at 94 hours of playtime)
I’m still finding new places around every corner. It’s got a ton of fun stuff to discover if you like open-world games.
Huh, I was staring at outerwilds today thinking I should play again, but then immediately thought I’ll have to go here there here and realised it’s forever ruined for me.
So instead I’ve been playing stellaris.
The saddest moment of every outer wilds fan is the realization it cannot be played again :'(
I’m getting super close to finishing cyberpunk 2077. I said that last week when I was at like 80 or so hours. But uhh 100 hours in now and I swear I’m really close this time lol.
I really wish they hadn’t released the game so early and hadn’t released so much advertising hype about the game. If the game released in a functional state I think it would have had the complete opposite reception.
If they were to have released the game this January or something and only advertised what is actually in the game, people would likely be praising it left and right. I thought the writing and quest design was a breath of fresh air. I loved how the game gave you agency to make your own decisions and made you think about the implications of all of your actions. Even if many of the decisions didn’t directly matter in the grand scheme of things, it allowed you to roleplay and at least feel like you were staying true to how your character would react in different situations.
I liked how there were so many twists and turns during the quests. Overall it felt like I was playing a completely different game compared to the couple hours I had tried at launch.
Edit: side note, Outer wilds is so good. Give it 5 years and maybe you’ll forget some of it lol!
My first playthrough clocked in around 200 hours. Now, I still do almost everything but it’s faster. Only 150 hours now… About to wrap up playthrough number 5. And I’ll probably be coming back in a year for 6.
Can’t get into outer wilds though. Feel like I’m 50-60% through the game and I have no idea when or how to go where I think I need to. Took a break to play CP2077 run #4 and look where that got me
I loved how the game gave you agency to make your own decisions and made you think about the implications of all of your actions.
Cyberpunk 2077 (Pyramid Song mission)
Exactly my thoughts after my actions left Judy leave Night city. Should not have killed Maiko. Made me wonder whether could I have saved Takamura too.
Diablo 3 season 31
I’ve been itching to play atomic heart ever since me and a friend tried the demo the other day. probably gonna pick it up when I get paid.
It’s clunky, but not in an indearing eurojank way. Absolutely repulsive writing doesn’t help. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Awe, bummer. Thanks for the heads up though.
If you’re interested in an Eastern European take on Bioshock/Half Life, try the Metro series instead, if you haven’t already.
If you want to play an equally fascinating and highly flawed Eurojank shooter that is actually endearing, play You Are Empty. It’s only available as abandonware and needs some tweaks to work on modern systems:
new rimworld DLC came out and that has taken up all my time. I’ve got to admit I had a few doubts about this one compared to the others, but sure enough they did it again and made an absolute banger of an expansion and now I have to sink another couple hundred hours…
Been obsessed with Crusader Kings 3 lately. I love how dynamic the game is
Recently started Rise of the Tomb Raider, still at the main menu adjusting settings. My PC is a little crap so I gotta take a hit in performance and graphics
Specs: R5 430 Core i3-2120 10gb RAM
I just got a PS5 a couple weeks ago, after almost a decade of not having a console since my PS3 died. Playing GT7 as my one and only; I grew up on Gran Turismo since GT3. Actually just got all gold on the licenses last night, so feeling pretty accomplished haha. Pretty hard to find time with a newborn and a toddler!
Clocked in around 45 hours in Cyberpunk 2077 and I think I might reach an ending in another 5 hours. I had good expectations for this game and this game is just way higher than my expectations.
Love the world building, the lore they are trying to build on side, references to Cyberpunk Edgerunners sometimes.
I’m playing some Path of Exile again, I’ve been having pretty good time with the Necropolis league
World of Warcraft Season of Discovery. Something about Classic keeps me coming back. I think it’s the sense of progression.
