The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion

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.

ChillPenguin,

Total war Warhammer 3, been playing with a group of 6 in a campaign. Mainly just been doing beastmen and empire. But been getting into some DLC races so they’ve been a lot more challenging.

HonorIsDead,

Warframe has been consuming basically all of my game time. It took a long time of playing off and on for it to really click with me like it has now where Ive stuck with it. I’m actually a bit glad though because it’s left this ocean of different things in the game I can do and it’s been great.

Pooptimist,

I would have been playing baldurs gate 3 with my buddy who is on vacation and has only his mac book, but because of the differing versions, because mac version is behind by two weeks, and steam needing to have the up to date version of the game, we can’t…

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Been in an SF6 slump so changing it up has been refreshing. Not super into the anime style of it but the gameplay is incredibly fun. Its also a really well put together game with a good single player and a Fall Guys rip off thats also really fun.

Also old school runescape because the grind never ends.

JeffreyOrange,

Cyberpunk 2077,insanely good game

Lemminary,

Age of Wonders 4! So good. The the art, the lore, the game play, the everything.

AceFuzzLord,

Just got RPCS3 set up on my laptop and now I just gotta see if my laptop can handle it or not. If not, I’m continuing to stick to solitaire and mahjong on it for a while.

Otherwise, I’ve just been addicted to both Backpack Hero and Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. Though, I’m less inclined to play Backpack Hero since my story mode save got wiped after I went to the main menu after losing a run.

I am so stupidly addicted to Vampire Survivors right now.

That was my first “i cant believe how fun this is” in a while. And all the DLC is cheap and adds a good chunk to the game for how simple it all is. And addictive.

Fridgeratr,

Fallout 4! I’m playing on Survival mode for the first time and having a lot of fun. I have a ton of mods installed too, but nothing to make it easier really lol

I’ve found that mods like iHUD, removing the cash register sound for XP, directional pipboy light, flashlights, darker nights, and storms (these can be set to be just visual rather that radiation inducing) all help make the game more immersive without dramatically changing the difficulty.

I do enjoy the health rebalancer which removes scaling health and instead makes some enemies baseline tougher and some weaker. IIRC it also makes headshots on humans instant death. No more blasting away at some scaled raider as they just keep attacking.

Recostuming the Minute Men in something closer to surplus military clothes makes them instantly less lame.

Also replacing all the pipe guns with weapon packs of real world handguns and machinepistols is for me nessesary, as I do not at all enjoy the FO4 pipegun designs.

Finally, the backyard bunkers mod allows a bomb shelter with a hatch you can place inside a settlement. Going inside moves you to a private space. NPCs won’t barge in and it’s a safe place to store extra gear.

Fridgeratr,

Replacing pipe guns and re-clothing the minutemen sound like good ideas! I’ll have to look into those

OlPatchy2Eyes,

I’m away from my PC/consoles for the next year but I’ve been all over Polytopia on mobile. Easy to learn hard to master. Very complex little game that I can play through a few times a day with lots of replayability.

I’m a little late to the game, but I started playing Breath of the Wild on Ryujinx (I learned in December that my secondhand Switch is jailbreakable). And now I see why so many people loved it.
It also gave me strong Elden Ring vibes when gliding through the world, so I see where ER got its inspiration.

It has me excite to play TotK right after.

Just finished Uncharted 4 for the 2nd time. Now starting Uncharted the Lost Legacy.

thorcik,

Finished up Greedfall on Sunday, just in time to get my hands on Sovereign Syndicate (launched on Monday). So far, so good.

smigao,

Act 2 of Cyberpunk 2077. Games crashed like 3 times so far.

JeffreyOrange,

That also happened to me in the first 10hours,and then never again.

MrGerrit,

Last night I finished the last of us 1 remastered. It was my first time playing the game and enjoyed very much. Ellie is such a badass.

Will return to it soon and see if I can get platinum for it.

Grinding levels in Fortnite and annoy people with my Peter Griffin and “bird is the word” song and dance.

Also playing some pinball FX and dead cells.
