Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Still on metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain. I’m taking my time. I’ve put about 60 hours into it so far and still have lots to do. Not bad value when I picked up ground zeros and TPP for like 7 shmeckles in a steam sale.
Yea I love the adaptive enemy AI, the way they put on vests and helmets and NVG.
I remember being a kid watching a friend play MGS2 and being amazed when the enemies would sweep the area in formation . Then seeing the footage that they had input from real life soldiers to get it right. The games are labors of love for sure.
Torn between continuing my Zenith playthrough of Terraria and learning more Oxygen Not Included. I probably shouldn’t have started both of those at the same time
Edit: So it turned out that what my brain wanted was to come back to Darkest Dungeon and try to actually beat it
I played oxygen not included a few month ago and realy had fun. At some point I just stopped, don’t even know why. Realy want to replay though. So probably going to start again soon.
RDR2 on Steam Deck. I never got far when I originally played it on my PC a few years ago and have been itching to play it again for the last few weeks.
Started a new game and so far it’s running really good.
Work and IRL stuff does not leave me with a lot of hours to game, but I did manage to put in a good few hours.
Reminds me so much of my situation. I have two kids and having a steam deck has changed everything for me, I went from not having time and/or brain space to game to being able to pick up my deck here and there and play when and where I want and not need to be at my desk or the couch.
I’m going through CP77 and plan to pick up RDR2 next sale.
This is super niche but I’ve been playing some older games from my childhood with RetroAchievements on my Steam Deck. Right now I’m playing through Pokémon Platinum, and trying to get all the achievements has me engaging with systems I didn’t even know existed! It’s really fun and super rewarding.
Also been using it to play SSX Tricky. RetroAchievements has leaderboards for some games, so seeing my time at the end of a race compared with everyone else’s is pretty surreal.
Ssx Tricky!?!? I have most emulators set up on my SD, can you point me towards the info I need to get this running? Played this game until my hands hurt on the Xbox, would be a frigging blast to revisit!
Dude RetroAchievements is awesome. I found out about it thanks to my MiyooMini and it changed the way I play retro games. I liked it so much an made an app for it for iOS lol
Against the Storm. I can pick it up whenever I have a free minute, and pause it or save and quit when I need to be doing something else. It’s just enough of a challenge to be immersive when I’m playing, but the stakes are low enough that it’s not stressful. And the music/ambient noise is lovely.
Grim Dawn on Steam Deck and finishing up the collectables on Quantum Break which I usually stream that from my PC to my Steam Deck. I absolutely love the Steam Deck.
For better or worse I can sit and play way longer sitting on the couch with my Steam Deck than at the desk in front of my computer.
I have been playing Phantom Liberty a lot. I've enjoyed it more than Starfield and BG3.
Before PL came out, I had started playing Sea of Stars. But it was extremely difficult to get into. Besides the S+++ tier pixel art, I thought the writing was poor: boring characters, bad dialogue, bad worldbuilding all made worse by slow pacing. I am gonna revisit this game sometime in the future I guess, though I don't understand its appeal yet.
Also I played Armored Core 6 for a few minutes and died to the tutorial mission helicopter like 10 times in a row. I guess some people find that fun, lol.
Despite the popularity I have no interest in starfield or BG3 Hoping to get armoured core 6 soon and can’t wait for spider-man 2 . For now I’m just going to finish up breath of the wild .
One more shoutout for unrailed, last videogame I played with my dad before we had to say goodbye. Very cool gameplay, tension without (much) violence, excellent co-op and A+ soundtrack. Simple idea, perfect execution
Throwing weapons are decent to use now (they were awful when they were added). I like the new skill tree and while I’m feeling a bit constrained by the cyberware limits I can see how it would make me feel much more powerful if I built towards it, instead of just having ED and SC limits I can easily exceed.
Started to play for the first time on Friday. Bought it after watching the anime. I am 30 hours in, it’s great but a little overwelming. So many things to do, to collect and upgrade…
I’m back playing Escape from Tarkov. The game has some real performance issues and a pretty big cheater problem, but there is no other game on the market like it.
