Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
I’m addicting to Skyrim modding not the game but modding the game, I have 2tb of mods in my HDD waiting to be install
Every time I get back into Skyrim I spend a dozen hours over a few days just fucking with mods, then I’m burnt out and don’t play the game lol.
I enjoy using Skyrim mods, but it frustrates me when I have to reinstall all of them for some reason or another; otherwise, my saved game won’t work. Currently, I’m using only one mod: Unread Books Glow
I can’t play without it.
Baldurs gate 3. Thought it would be more complete since it’s coming out soon. Still good though.
I’ve always had trouble getting into these isometric rpgs for some reason. Divinity, wasteland, old baldurs gate, even dragon age origins. Somehow the disconnect between the control and the character gets to me.
I’m going to try to get deep enough into this one though so that the story can actually shine through
I am currently playing Everspace 2, i like the space combat very much, although at least in the beginning the crafting system feels quite slow.
Just got out of almost 3 years of nonstop genshin. I’m currently looking for a game to mindlessly 100%, like an assassin’s creed game for example.
It the meantime I’m trying to beat all spirits spiritless in Smash bros. Will start Xenoblade 2 in september, already got XC3 ready
You might enjoy the new Zelda game
Oh, I will. I’d like to complete Xenoblade first to avoid forgetting the story and the various connections and mindfucks
just redownloaded fallout 4 with around 250 mods it’s just bonkers to me what modders are doing with that game
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.
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!
Citizen Sleeper. Really enjoyable sci-fi-writing and chill gameplay.
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.
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.
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
Why exactly do you prefer time and date?
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.
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.
Just finished Dave the diver, was a bit longer then expected (30hr)
Thinking about eastward of Mutazion next
Playing Factorio for the second time, now enabling enemies. Really fun game
I’m considering modding my Stardew Valley game yet again. Haven’t maxed out all the things, tedium is creeping in.
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.
Songs of Syx
I’m shuffling around a couple of games, when I get tired of one I go to the next, and so on until I hopefully beat them all. The current one is Monster Hunter: World, followed by Desperados 3 and TLoZ: BotW.
Trying to get through all the ffxiv expansions!
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, and experiencing extreme levels of nostalgia. My goal is to play through every HD Remix and reexperience the joys of my childhood before finally seeing what Kingdom Hearts 3 is about.
Been halfassing Yakuza 3. Really I probably could have plowed through already but ehhh
Armored Core 3! I was interested in AC6 coming out in a month, so I decided to jump into the older games to get a taste of the series beforehand. AC1 was very clunky and difficult for a newcomer to the series, that’s for sure. After a bit I decided to skip to 3 since I heard it was a good entry point to the series.
I’ve been having so much fun! I spend way more time customizing and tweaking my mech and theory-crafting new builds than I actually spend doing missions. I’ve mostly done arena fights, since they’re less stressful (no ammo or repair costs), but the entire game is great so far.
Now having played this, I’m more excited for Armored Core 6 than I thought I would be, and I cannot WAIT for it to release.
I’ve been going single player as of late. A lot of the outer worlds spacers choice and gates to hell Ostfront. Fighting against corporatism and fascism
Trying to beat Tails of Iron on the hardest difficulty. The game was fun and somewhat challenging on normal and I did 100% it. The hardest difficulty feels random and just unfair at times and honestly isn’t very fun to play. But I’m determined and have reached the last area, so hopefully I’ll succeeded this weekend.
Pikmin 4. It’s real good. I was always more interested in the environmental puzzles than the combat so the lower difficulty suits me just fine. I got to credits yesterday, then ::: spoiler turns out there’s a whole extra pikmin 1 campaign in there and seems like at least one more area in the main campaign. Must save Oatchi! :::
I’ve started playing Ys 9: Monstrum Nox. It’s a quite charming action RPG. I played Ys 8 a few years back and generally found it enjoyable, so wanted to give it a shot. Not the most complex game (so far), but definitely fun!
I’m playing valorant. It feels like cs 1.6 and gives nostalgia

Just bought XCOM 2 on sale and I’m overwhelmed by the difficulty but can’t stop playing
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Are you playing the vanilla game or war of the chosen?
I love that game so much.

I bought the collector’s edition, which I think includes all the DLCs

I feel like there’s a dozen indie tactics games that might be a more fun sampling of the genre. Steamworld Heist, or even Gears Tactics, would be a bit more fun for me.
