The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023

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.

reluctantpornaccount,

Just finished playing Dawncraft(a “souls like” Minecraft mod) multiplayer with a friend, and we called it a day after we killed >!notch!< and then got wrecked by >!“divine elementals”!<. Back to Disco Elysium now.

Im_Randy_Butter_Nubs,

I’ve installed this but haven’t touched it yet. It’s meant to be pretty good.

Frigid,

Thanks to the First Descendant beta, I’m probably putting another couple hundred hours into Warframe.

Chimali,

I’ve been chasing the platinum on ps5 for Trove for some reason, and it’s such an awful game, but i love it lmao. Just imagine the worst grind possible, and then have lots of that grind in distinct areas of the game, and there you have it. Tbf, i am a recovering destiny 2 addict so it’s par for the course ig.

Outside of that, I’m currently grinding through revita on pc, and tbh it breaks into my top 3 rouguelites with gungeon and nuclear throne above it (sorry isaac). It’s actually so much better than i thought it would be, and the run variety you can get is kinda mad after you put a good bunch of time into it. It takes so many good elements from other roguelites like the heat system from hades and is just a good, all-around experience which I’d say is on par with the big 2 (in my head) of gungeon and isaac (nuclear throne is great but it do lack content fr). My only issue is i put it on veteran mode, and after checking online, everyone says it makes the game worse. I wanna try the easier difficulty just to see how it is, but i cba restarting my save.

I just returned to Genshin Impact after spending a lot of time first playing Baldurs Gate 3, then Starfield and moving on to the expansion for Cyberpunk.

Have been showing my kid Chrono Trigger. I don’t have anyone with good taste to talk to, so I have resolved to create one

Wouldn’t be quite so gung ho about video games this young if he wasn’t such an avid reader. Next I was thinking about showing him the GameCube Paper Mario title.

Mononon,

Just finished up Sea of Stars. Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. The visuals and music were spectacular. The story was kind of weak, and didn’t too much time tying into the Messenger without resolving plots in a satisfying way. Some of the characters were good, but the actual plot felt kind of pointless. Gameplay was also fun, but took awhile to get going. I think it was really fun after some more options and characters were available, but the start felt too slow. Would still recommend it though. It is a very solid game. It’s just not perfect.

Going back to finish Pikmin 4 next and start up Cocoon on PC too.

BURN,

Back to Apex Legends. Lot more casually this time. I’m a lot worse than I was, but still good enough to win a lot of fights.

Also trying to pick up CS2, but I forgot how bad my precision aiming is

quiterather,

Getting back into Apex here too, after having rage-uninstalled the game during season 15 lol

cabhan,

I’m still working my way through Baldurs Gate 3: I guess I’m around the middle of Act 2. I am still loving the game :).

Im_Randy_Butter_Nubs,

I’m at about the same point. Though I keep putting off playing it as I don’t want it to end!

CopernicusQwark,

If you’re halfway through act 2 I wouldn’t worry about that. I think I spent as much time in act 3 as in acts 1 & 2 combined!

bleepbloopbleep,

I’m in Act 3 and there’s tons to do.

I’m also already planning a second run since I’ve missed so much in Act 1 and 2… although I’ve already played for 105 hours.

This game is insane when it comes to detail!

sandflavoured,

Titanfall 2!

About the most fun multiplayer experience I’ve played

I love that game. Last time I played I was finding it tricky to find a game though.

sandflavoured,

Servers are suddenly up again as of last week or so, and are pretty active. Great time to get back in :)

Awesome. I’ll have to check it out.

Minecraft, over on the lemmy.world server. Come join - lemmy.world/c/lwmc

bastion,

Space Station 14.

Frontier station gameplay: This game is intentionally complex. Gettimg a space suit on? Don’t forget your oxygen mask. …and helmet. …and to make sure the oxygen’s on. …and that you have grav boots. …and that they’re on.

Grab an ore bag in one hand, pick in the other, and start breaking rocks. If you’re lucky, you can get with a good captain and make some dough.

But honestly, i usually get paid more working as a janitor for the station. Or as a bartender, mixing up various drinks, if it’s a good day and people are tipping well. I’ve been trying to run my own food truck, but it seems mostly what I do is die.

…but, then there’s sitting at the bar after a good run, drinking and playing music. You can join in a midi band, or play your own uploaded song. Dance with people, or drop banana peels and watch ‘em slip. It’s a good tune to be alive.

Regular SS14 play: Or, try to do the above. But the station is faced with some awful inevitable catastrophe. Serve drinks and secretly dose them with hallucinogens, until the zombies come, or terrorists with nukes, or alien artifacts that do… …Things. Or join sec and try to keep the station going by dealing with whatever threats there are (including errant bartenders slipping drugs into peoples’ drinks), or at least evacuate the people. …and anyone could be a bomb-packing terrorist.

Or be a hamster. Or, y’know… Anything you want to.

dirtySourdough,

Valheim with a buddy. I fucking love it

Remnant 2

So much cool stuff to do, so many things to try and glorious gunplay. Damn, I fell in love with that game.

LuckyBoy,

Doing the second run for Bg3. Prolly going for a third run after this one, the game is full of content and nuances to the story.
