The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 18-09-2023

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.

SynopticVision,

RE1 HD remake (had played only about half of the GC one)

Such a wonderful game. For someone like me who grew up with the original, probably the best remake ever made. It’s the same, but so much better.

Oh, and Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth 2. Possibly still the best RTS ever made. Change my mind.

Matriks404,

Finished first Quake recently (EXCELLENT game, still very much playable even after nearly 3 decades, definitely 9/10), and currently playing Perdition’s Gate, it is kinda unofficial Doom 2 expansion released in 1996, and it had chance to be included in Final Doom (which are two additional official episodes for Doom 2), but ultimately it was decided against it.

Perdition’s Gate is kinda interesting as it has some unique elements and I genuinely enjoyed it even though there are probably much better Mega WADs nowadays, later maps are too short though, and it looks like they have made them only to accomplish 32 maps total like in the original game. Secret maps are also… odd… definitely not bad, but… just odd (and disappointing to some extent I guess), although I am not going to spoil them for you. Also the locations for secrets are also weird.

Interesting and odd is I think the best description for this Expansion/WAD.

I recently introduced Untitled Goose Game to my 10 year old daughter, and now that’s all she wants to do with me every evening after her little sister goes to bed. So… That’s pretty much all I’ve been playing.

We’ll see what the next obsession will be.

Blackmist,

Baldur’s Gate PS5. Co-op.

Currently takes about 6 seconds to swap between characters. Every time. Every turn. Click, clunk, click, clunk.

Playing really thoroughly, we’re up to 60 hours, level 7, and just starting Act 2.

It’s bad design that part of Act 1 is behind the exact same prompt as the end of Act 1. I nearly missed a whole zone there, as well as an awesome weapon.

I’m playing ghost recon breakpoint these days, fun game

USSEthernet,

Sea of Stars has been the only game I made time to play in months.

dinckelman,

Finishing up Yakuza 6. Outside of that, I’ve been playing a mix of ESO and Guildwars 2, and enjoying some Rimworld, and Binding of Isaac. The last one basically never leaves my steam installation

Blackdoomax,

I stopped playing on console as my friends don’t play anymore. So i went to BGA and i’m having a lot of fun playing King of Tokyo, District noir, Oriflamme and Conspiracy (abyss).

Upgraded my PC recently. I can now run Half-Life: Alyx, so I’m playing it. Best virtual reality game ever in my opinion.

rosymind,

Demonologist. Early access. Still needs work, but it’s fun

Cloudygrey,

Playing Red dead redemption 1, now that they released it on the new PS

It really irked me to pay what they priced it at but I just didn’t want to wait anymore

DelvianSeek,

Still playing BG3. About 120 hours in, still my first playthrough, but I think I’m getting close to the end. Wouldn’t be surprised if it takes me another 15-20 hours to get there though. After that I need to decide if I want to play through again with different characters/choices, or do something else first (recently got Tiny Tina in a bundle and looking forward to playing that).

UnPassive,

I’m leaveling up all my familys’ favorite ssx tricky characters cause otherwise we all play as Moby when I visit (the only character I play as normally). Mac, Kaori, JP. Probably won’t be unlocking uber-boards on all of them, but we’ll see

Delusional,

Trying to play wow classic hardcore with my group of friends. So far I’m the only one who hasn’t died and it’s frustrating trying to group up now since we’re all wildly different levels.

I randomly got hit with the urge to play the ps2 mascot games. I've started picking them up for cheap to rip and load onto my Steam Deck. I've finished the first Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper games. Now started on Going Commando, with plans for the rest of both of their ps2 games and the Jak and Daxter trilogy. I've played all of Ratchet and Jak before but Sly is new to me, minus maybe half of his 4th game.

And still chugging through BG3 with my wife. It's been hard getting time for the longer play sessions it requires lately but we'll get through it eventually.
